Deathmatch is yesterday's news - today it's all about co-op. Once upon-a-time developers flung a couple of team-based and every-man-for-himself multiplayer modes in at the arse-end of the development process, but now co-operative play has become a key, integrated element of the next-gen console release. Halo was a trendsetter of course, but since then, gamers have had the tactical tension of four-player GRAW and the pitch dark, blood-splattered carnage of Gears of War, designed very much with two-player co-operation in mind.
Then there's Free Radical Design's Haze, which presents a co-op mode that integrates with the single player missions, beefing out plotpoints and narrative gaps that won't get explained in the main campaign. Guardian Unlimited asked the game's project leader, Derek Littlewood, about the growing role of the co-op mode and where he thinks the concept is going.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When shopping for new video games you can often trust the name publisher or developer on the box to be an indication of the quality of the game. Names like Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Capcom, Xbox Game Studios and Sega are world famous because they helped shape the industry by releasing some of the most defining video games of all time. Though sometimes even these great gaming houses stumble and put out a stinker."
Splatterhouse remake . Loved the og’s at the arcade growing up . Hell the best thing about the remake was the og,s were included . And left alive by Square . That game had so much potential , but the gameplay was worse horrendous .
once Great studios getting destroyed is actually common. happened with ND and Last of Us2, Bioware and Mass Effect Andromeda/Anthem, Bungle and Destiny .
I'm pretty much certain that any Sonic game that comes out will be terrible, I've not enjoyed one since the original side-scrolling days of the MegaDrive.
For this Topic it says Good Studios that make bad games. Sonic Team hasn't been good in years.
Guns, drugs, and unnecessary war. Fun for the whole family.
I wonder if it'll have online co-op.
Haze is turning out to be a very interesting game with this kind of integration
I heard it will have online 4 player co-op. It seems as though throughout the game you are accompanied by three other bots that can be online players and revert back to bots whenever someone quits. Anyways this seems really cool.
The original perfect dark on the n64 as the trend setter for coop but to each his own.
Dose anyone know if this game will have voice chat online? Because if so I'll buy it but if not then mabby jsut a rent.
