What Is Fairgame$

Creative director Mathieu Leduc has described the game as "a fresh, modern take on the heist genre"

"In a nutshell, this is a thrilling competitive heist game where you join an underground movement to rob the ultra-rich and rebalance the scales."

Fairgame$ Release Date

There's no official release date for Fairgame$ yet, but it was released during the 2023 PlayStation Showcase. This means a release date might be coming soon.

Fairgame$ will be coming to PS5 and PC.

[Elder Legend]

LOL. Sounds like someone really hates capitalism over the studio.

Seems like a GAAS MP game.

 

[Zathalus]

Looks dreadful.

 

[MirageMew2]

Nothing really stood out about that but it was pure cinematics so.

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

Looks like total shit.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

could it looks worse? sure. but that would be a monumental achievement

 

[Irobot82]

barf. Social Activism, the game.

 

[ShaikhCroft]

Why isn't Jade Reymond developing a masterpiece like Assassin's Creed?

 

[Jack Videogames]

Looks like the new Saints Row as a FPS

 

[Bry0]

Looks like an Ubisoft game lol

 

[Snake29]

Looks like we will see more about it soon. Hopefully it's something good.

 

[analog_future]

This looks like a launch title type game that would be long forgotten by now like Godfall or Destruction Allstars.

 

[XesqueVara]

Socialism the Game

 

[a multicultural team of v]

it makes me worry that at some point during this games development sony saw the progress and decided to buy the studio outright

 

[Brigandier]

Opening a showcase with that.... Total shit.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

So Payday with a splash of social activist whining.

 

[Saber]

Looks dreadfull. Even the name sounds like something you should keep your distance of.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Terrible.

 

[ManaByte]

Why isn't Jade Reymond developing a masterpiece like Assassin's Creed?

Because her name isn't Patrice.

 

[Denton]

Fucking horrible. Had me worried there it was the co-op Deus Ex game there for a minute. Thank goodness it ain't.

 

[SaintALia]

Ah, so a third person Payday with 3 to a team and slightly futuristic? Could be cool I guess.

Wish we could see actual gameplay too see how heists are performed and how other players can disrupt heists or how and if police or 'corporation security' are involved.

 

[StealthGoblin]

This is totally not what I expected or wanted from this team. I thought it would be something original.

 

[nikos]

This is one of the very few games that looked good. I'm always up for a heist.

 

[crunchyBiscuits]

Reminded me of Watch Dogs 2 for some reason.. want to see what actual gameplay is gonna look like

 

[Pagusas]

Another super easy to spot failure of a game that will bomb. Who keeps green lighting these horrible ideas? Do publishers/investors/studio heads really just hate money that much that they green light ideas so obviously meant for failure? Is it a lack of actual understanding of the market place? Is it just creative blindness? I do not understand.

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

hahahahahaha, hahahahahhahahaha, *breathes in* hahahaha

fuck, man.

 

[brian0057]

You know? People like to pretend they're like Robin Hood. "Steal from the rich, give to the poor" and all that jazz.
What they always fail to mention is that Robin Hood stole from the taxman, not the rich.

Hard to say with GaaS, they either take off really well or they don't. We know next to nothing as to how the game will play, is it F2P? Is it a looter shooter? It is a battle royale? Is it PvPvE? All we have a CG trailer that demonstrates a visual concept.

 

[[Sigma]]

I don't like the $ at the end of FairGame$. That's just screams I don't wanna play you.

 

[{insert code here}]

Multi billion dollar mega Corp spending tens of millions of dollars to produce game with anti-capitalist, 'eat the rich' narrative

 

[Kusarigama]

Putting out a mediocre CGI trailer in a sea of similar ones about a new game they can't possibly be expecting good response

 

[Alex Scott]

Why show a cinematic trailer? Show real gameplay PS.

It's even worse. It's not only green lighted. When someone in Sony saw it they decided to immediately buy Haven Studios.

 

[3liteDragon]

I'll wait for some gameplay but what a turn off of a trailer.

 

[Fuz]

Cool. I hate everything about it.

 

[solidus12]

Looks generic as fuck.

Worst PlayStation showcase too

 

[Camreezie]

Absolute trash

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

watchdogs AF.

CGI meh.

big L

 

[8BiTw0LF]

Looking forward to see gameplay. If this is PvPvE and focusing on planning heists I'm all in.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Jade Raymond will be out of the job again after this project.

 

[llLeonhart]

Joke game is a joke

 

[Wooxsvan]

so we're just criminals? ok i guess

 

[Elios83]

I was surprised to see this getting announced so soon and indeed given it was not gameplay it's still too early in development.
For me the premise could be fun but can't judge anything without actual gameplay.

 

[Gambit2483]

How the hell do you open a show with this..?

 

[SpokkX]

is this a Redfall spinoff?

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

is this a Redfall spinoff?

whatchdogs

 

[K2D]

Infuriating trailer with good production value.

 

[Kikorin]

Most surprising thing about this is that is not developed by Ubisoft.

 

[FingerBang]

whatchdogs

Basically tankie watchdogs, with a multiracial young and hip group of heroes/activists.

It basically scream woke. Who the fuck they make this for I will never understand.

 

[NickFire]

I think they misunderstood the wider gaming audience when they wrote the story. Shame they fell into that trap.
