As you likely know, we are big fans of Hunt Showdown around here, and one of their devs, Magnus Larbrant, has a new article up this morning over on their website entitled, Point Blank: A Look at Content Update 1. It takes a closer look at the new scoped weapons in the game, how the compounds changed, and a look at “the future.” In this he addresses bigger boss killing coolness in the future.

Watching how involved the Crytek devs have been with the community with Hunt Showdown has been amazing. They originally came out saying that Crytek wanted to form the game around community feedback, and amazingly that looks to be what exactly is happening. It is still in Early Release at Steam for $30, and I highly suggest you give it a try. However, is far from the generic shooter. It has some perma-death mechanics that will cater to the harder-core gamer as many players nowadays expect an instant respawn. That is not Hunt Showdown for sure. PCGamesN has a good article on it about the game offering something battle royale games can’t, a meaningful experience.

Right now, we’re working on some really cool stuff to make people want to be the one who kills the boss. There is a bonus at the end of the game now for that, but we also want something really cool to happen if you’re the one who kills the boss and grabs the token. So that’s coming, more on that later.
