Are there any plans for future patches for Blacksite?
It's a fun game and has a lot of promise, but it just needs some more polish to fix some of the bigger problems.
The top listed problems I see with the game right now (for me, as after the first two patches I have had no crashes or lockups)are visual.
1. Clipping errors - Weapons models can clip through walls and grates, NPCs will sometimes clip through other NPCs, weapons model draws back when you walk against an invisible wall.
2. NPC animation - NPCs when entering a vehicle have NO animation at all. They simply POP into the vehicle once you get in... looks horrid.
3. Shadows - Shadows are very bad, pixalated around edges.
Last thing I see that really needs attention is performance. The game needs final optimization and more code improvements.
At random times frame rates drop horribly low for no reasons at all... empty rooms can come to a crawl. My PC can runs BioShock, Gears of War and Unreal Tournament 3 all maxed at 1280*1024 with silky smooth frame rates... and Blacksite constantly falls short.
Running on the same engine there is NO excuse for this.
I had faith at first, but Blacksite simply is not finished. The game needed more development and then you, Midway, could've actually had a great game to be proud of. But by rushing the game out unfinished, I know tons if not hundreds of gamers from other forums that refuse to buy it or even think of trying it until it's fixed.
For your community, please put some more love into what could be an awesome shooter, give Blacksite the attention it needs and make it the shooter it should have been.
