This is for those interested in Blackshot [English version] [Not SEA English]... but haven't looked at OutSpark's forums because you refuse to... too lazy... didn't know they had a forums... or for whatever reason.

Hello Everyone,

I know the community has been anxiously awaiting the release of Blackshot, and with lack of information on our part, this has caused confusion and disappointment. At this time, it is still undecided on an appropriate release date for Blackshot due to many reasons we cannot divulge. However, instead of leaving you with little to no reasoning, I will do my best to explain the situation without breach of contract between Publisher/Developer.

Blackshot is complete in terms of server structure and client. IF we wanted to open Blackshot, it could be open and playable in about 2 weeks. The halt on release has nothing to do with the quality of Outspark service nor does it have to do with the quality of the game. Because of contractual disagreements between both parties (publisher/developer), this has caused a delay in what we had hopes of a triple A title. I cannot divulge the details of the clauses stated in the contract but please understand, Outspark wants to take every precaution in ensuring the best quality game for our community. While this statement may not answer everyones questions, I hope that you will understand there is an underlying part of the business that we take seriously.

This does not mean it is the end of Blackshot though. All I can say is that we have a few more kinks to work out before we can continue to move on. We do truly do appreciate every single one of you that has had nothing but patience for us, even the ones who no longer are with us.

Thank you,
SKiNG

*edit - In case those who may have misunderstood, when i say 2 weeks, I mean the progress of the game itself would be ready to go. Not actual release date.

In other words, by now, the game is all done developing and is ready for open beta. But the Chinese company that developed Black Shot, and OutSpark, are having some trouble... chinese company is being bastards... and they aren't letting OutSpark publish it; not giving them permission.
On a smaller note, if they would happen to publish it and go into open beta without the chineses' permission.... big fat lawsuit.

I hope it gets resolved soon, BlackShot rocks but the lag from SEA server doesn't. Plus the US ip ban....

Meh. I was looking at some of the videos, looks like another run-n-gun shooter to me.

They shouldnt bother trying to get something from Chinese people; I would know(part chinese) They'll NEVER(and i mean NEVER) get it out.

The PvE mode is fun as hell, and it has potential.. but not sure Outspark can deliver or at least make worth of its potential..

look at the post date on that by sking .. it is OLD.

there has been solid word on anything to do with that game for quite a long time. it is pretty much vapor ware (ie: never gonna happen) at this point.

had they released it when it came out, they would have built enough of a fan base and had people invested (both time and money wise) into the game so that when other games such as huxley get fully released they would be ok.

however now .. they have simply waited too long and unless they come up with some major gimmick that isn't going to piss off their remaining fans, they might as well just keep the doors closed and move on.

Edit**

So I went to outspark and actually looked at the post date and it was "refreshed" and reposted on june 19th which isn't that far back - however - sking made a identical post about 4months ago and it looks like he has pretty much copy and pasted what he said then into this new post so

wow open poster, look at how much you've misleaded these kids. blackshot is a korean developed mmofps. not chinese. and asides from that. they technically have decided usa will have the game, just have not decided on the payment. which is only fair in a way, for a game with an innovative system. and for those of you that dont know, black shot will actually have a partner system that allows you to share health, ammo and vision with your partner. though i see nothing good coming out from it
