Hardware: Rivals is an online multiplayer vehicle combat game developed exclusively for the PlayStation 4. It is the successor to the 2002 PlayStation 2 game, Hardware: Online Arena.
Gameplay
The game gives players the options to play in either Tanks or Fast Attack Vehicles ("FAV"s), collecting various special weapon pickups such as Lasers, Railguns and Rockets.[1]
During the Public Beta there were three maps available to play on: "Blister Lake", "Lost Temple" and "Quarry". There were also two vehicles: the "Wraith" (FAV), and the "Predator" (Tank).
In addition to deathmatch, team deathmatch and team domination multiplayer modes, there were also three tutorials that could be played single-player, including "Time Trial" and "Target Practice".
Development
The game was first announced on 10 September 2015 and is developed by the SCE Connected Content Group,[2] based in London.
A Public Beta[3] for the game took place from 30 September 2015[4] to 19 October 2015, and was exclusive to PlayStation Plus subscribers. When the PS Events app was released as part of the PlayStation 4 system software 3.00,[5] the Hardware: Rivals Beta was one of the first titles to make in-game events available such as "4 Wheels Only",[6] an FAV-only special event.
An official release date has not been announced as yet.
