CrimeCraft Receives Unlimited Trial, Lower Fee

By Alice O'Connor, Oct 02, 2009 8:30am PDT Though Vogster's shooter MMO CrimeCraft launched only in August, the developer has already announced a revamp of its subscription model as well as an unlimited free trial.

Arriving later this month, the free trial will offer players "The major features of the game for free for as long as they want," with unspecified 'minor' features disabled. The original $9.99 monthly sub will remain intact, while a new $4.99 subsription band is differentiated by less customisation, skill slots and inventory, and slower XP gain.

Vogster went through "significant staffing changes" following CrimeCraft's launch, whose retail release was exclusive to Best Buy and FutureShop. The smaller "live" team will this month deliver a "major" update including a dynamic in-game newspaper and new PvE mode for the PWNS--Persistent World Network Shooter, acronym addicts.

Why would ANYONE even bother playing this game when the best gangwarfare/streetshooter is coming out in the form of All Points Bulletin?

APB will RAPE this game in EVERY and ANYONE, so dont waste your money with this shit, which if most of you dont know, was ORIGIANLY supposed to be a free game, and was one a month to release, until they got a gayass exclusivity deal with electronics monopoly Best Buy. Fuck that, and fuck them.

APB will be much more fun, have GROUNDBREAKING customization (just totally destroying Bethesda's body customizing system), have integrated LastFM functionality, custom photoshop-style logo creation, and a shit-ton of other stuff. Dont believe me? www.apb.com

Fuck you Crime Craft, you lieing ass sucking pedophiles.

Play Fallen Earth. Really nothing like this, but it's a Shooter MMO all the same. Great sandbox game. Excellent crafting. Sort of a cross between SWG(Pre NGE), Anarchy Online, with FPS/TPS mechanics mixed in.

- Forgot to mention, it does draw a lot of comparisons to Fallout 3, because it's post-apocalyptic. : dhvyse

With close to 300 hours logged in I have to say this is a very enjoyable third person shooter with solid controls.

Pretty sure the first time Shacknews made a post about this being a Best Buy exclusive game the entire comments section said "Well that spells failure."

I don't understand how an entire group of people who read a gaming website could successfully predict the fail of a game based on no further information beyond "Best Buy Exclusive" and the people who developed it couldn't figure this out.

Never heard of this game before.

Do you still have to buy it to get the free trial?

"significant staffing changes"

Ah, you mean they fired everyone but kept on a staff of 10 people to do the work of 30? Typical American business procedure these days.

"Thanks for your help, we don't need you anymore. The bread line forms to the left."

I still don't care for it. The beta killed it for me. APB will crush this.
