TIM WHITE WRITES: "Multiplayer or single player? Developers, you can do both, just not willy-nilly."
I hate when I see single player games and see people begging for multi-player. Jeez guys it don't need to be on every game. Latest one I seen was atomic heart.
Multiplayer or even co-op
If it was always a single player game then that's how it is
It's a trend that never really went away. For me multiplayer in a primarily SP focused game was an excuse for DLC. Then there's the mentality gamers had that adding multiplayer makes a game worth the price, otherwise it should be half price for half a game. A way of thinking devs reassured when they started adding multiplayer to their sequels. We see the same with multiplayer focused games getting SP in their sequels.
Tbh multilayer now is a way to add live service and mtx elements, very rarely does it come of well.
What single players game used to be in a lot of cases now require 3 other people for keeping to really enjoy it and I hate having to rely on others to get the maximum from a game.
Sp should be sp, if devs want to add a separate multi mode then that's fine with me, the legends addition to ghost of tshushima was fricking sick but totally separate to the main game. Sick of co op too.
I remember when certain single player games had them as included optional modes that was played on the couch. Had brilliant times with Syphon Filter and Golden Eye. Me and my bro used to used to fight over who would play as Gabe even though it was technically just a skin. Good times.
My most anticipated next gen game!!!
Then our technical director called me into a room one day and said, “Hey, Dave, take a look at this.” He had the specs for the next-gen consoles. We got goosebumps, literally, in the meeting where we saw these specs, because it was our home turf. These are machines where we can perform extremely well and build games in a way we understand on a deep level, which I’ll admit we can’t do with the current generation very much.
I am confirmed for buying collectors edition
I am so glad that third party developers are starting to put more effort into their games. I never really noticed until I thought about it but I'd say 95% of games that I bought last gen for my ps3 were exclusives, I definitely didn't do that purposefully but most multiplat games just didn't seem to have the Polish that exclusives did. Off the top of my head I can only think of 5 multiplat games that I bought last gen: Tomb Raider, GTA 4&5, HITMAN and MW1. I'm sure there were more but in comparison to exclusives that I bought the number pales. This gen is looking much brighter for multiplats!
This might be nice now, but PC technology is always evolving. PC still has the distinct advantage and in two years I imagine these new consoles will be yet again holding back the PC versions of their games.
I was impressed y the demo of this game the amount of detail is huge..
