Online....You have got to be kidding me

Can we not just have an amazing single player game

"it's possible we'll be seeing a co-op campaign or competitive component that's seperate from the main storyline."

But the thing is if they do that then they are basicaly cutting the script of the single player. Valve did the same with Portal 2, they had to cut the script to add the co-op, which in my opinion seemed pointless since they could of did a longer single player and then added the co-op as DLC.

Why do developers feel like they have to add online into everything.

Because online ships units.

I agree with your post though.

ThichQuangDuck4612d ago

I agree to the point that I do not enjoy tacked on multiplayer or online components rather than focusing on a great singleplayer. However with the time they have I believe they can make a great singleplayer that appeals to the hardcore while moving hitman in the right direction. Multiplayer I imagine would be like assassins creed, but it was the originally idea I had of hitman multiplayer maps with civilians while assassinating your target while someone is after you or all competing for same ai target a la smoking aces. They can do a great seperate co op campaign just like splinter cell chaos theory did.

When they are charging 60 bucks a pop, developers should be able to do a good single player and add a cool multiplayer component, IMHO. Look @ Uncharted 2, Gers 3, RDR. If you want to be a AAA game you need to compete at that level which means the prdouct should have it all. Otherwise its wait three months and get it for $20 less.

Wait is this even the save devs. who's IO Interactive ?
Good lord i hope they dont ruin another good IP.

@Rampaged Death na man i didnt. maybe i got it mixed up with another dev. i didnt play much of the last one but i played the older version's so im looking to get back into hitman again.

Rampaged Death4612d ago

Damn ! You didn't know IO developed Hitman from the beginning ?

Rampaged Death4612d ago

Don't fuck up your only good franchise IO.

Reborn4612d ago

Well.. I'll wait to hear/see more before I form a solid opinion.

Though, a separate story.. hmm.

hellzsupernova4612d ago

hopefully it has a long and replayable storyline im hoping for over 15hours. that reallly should be the minimum for single player focused games. then after you haver achieved that add in challenges co op and other story based objectives, then add the competative multiplyer!

How IO turned Hitman around, from Absolution to World of Assassination

When Hitman 3 recently changed its name to Hitman World of Assassination, fans had no idea how meaningful the moment was. On the outside it looked like a simple thing: Hitman 3 would now be known by this name and include levels from Hitman 2 and 3 - the trilogy would all be in one place. But on the inside, at IO Interactive, much more was going on.

You mean destroyed it with this tethered single-player campaign BS... And only the first few levels of the third modern game were on the disc! I'll never support this crap at any price-point! They've lost me as a customer.

Hitman is, and has been, a remarkable series developed by some of the best. Some are better than others, but every Hitman is challenging and fun.

Sure, there have been some stumbles and fumbles, but always in pursuit of the perfect Hitman game. The most recent trilogy is a masterclass in level design.
