GIZORAMA - Its sometimes easy to forget that the Free-to-Play pricing model was once a promising way for developers to make a ton of money, whilst still providing quality free content. Travesties like the recent Dungeon Keeper reboot have adopted the far more sinister Farmville-esque pricing model wherein players pay real cash to avoid waiting for something to happen in-game. In fact, the few games that arent abusing the F2P model are shooters - Blacklight: Retribution and Team Fortress 2 being some of the more successful examples. In many respects, Edge of Realitys new Free-to-Play MMO shooter Loadout unapologetically rips pages from Team Fortress 2s gospel of free, chaotic, gun-porn carnage. Thats not to say Loadout is a cynical aping of Valves popular shooter, rather, it is a fresh and frantic take on the MMO shooter that breathes new life into the familiar.
