This latest trailer for
Blacklight Retribution highlights some of the game's play stats, tallying up the amount that people have played, the number of players killed in matches, and even the number of weapons customized. Obviously Zombie Studios is trying to emphasize that they have an active player base for you to join and fight with, and I personally still think the art style is a welcome change of pace from other current shooters.
Hmm, Nintendo has always been fond of droning on about sales and install base numbers...maybe they can learn some lessons from Blacklight, and display those boring numbers against Mario toasting a goomba with a fireball, or Samus messily plasma-frying a space pirate?
