Multiplayer Isn't So Massive Anymore

Kotaku: "Bungie seems to have coined the term 'shared world shooter' for their newest IP, Destiny, but the general concept might sound familiar. While not everyone may be a fan of huge MMOs, lots of people seem to be into multiplayer gaming and downsized, explorable worlds where you can play with a relative handful of other gamers seems to be the choice pick for developers."

I hope this is still fun solo.

I wonder why can't they just call it Multiplayer Online?!

MO FPS (Destiny)

MO third person shooter (The Division)

and whatever MO game that it comes out for.

I mean this is a somewhat new genre, and we shouldn't deviate too far from what this game is obviously...a multiplayer-online game. Simple.

Roccetarius3849d ago

A lot of MP games these days get the ''Massively'' word thrown around, even though they're just simple MP games.

What Bungie is doing seems more like a co-op game, instead of an MMO.

P0werVR3849d ago

Exactly an MO without the Massive. Simple.

So an MO FPS game

MidnytRain3848d ago

That term isn't useful because basically every FPS game has online multiplayer.

Yes multiplayer, but not always online. Hence, "Multiplayer Online". That is what that term basically means. Take Massive out, and the term sticks very well.

The Division could be a MO Third Person Shooter. Or Fable Legends, MO RPG. Simple and concise.

Does it really matter, no one can pinpoint exactly what it is because clearly everyone is arguing over it. It's their game, let them decide what they wanna call it, and you call it what you want.

I'm just gonna call it..awesome.

MidnytRain3846d ago

"but not always online"

But almost every time... A term that includes 99% of multiplayer FPSs isn't getting any traction.

More interested in money than giving fans what they want. Such a shame

CrimsonWing6922h ago

With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.

Profchaos20h ago

I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.

Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder

Ikr mfs that greedy it's ridiculous

andy8519h ago

This makes me sad. Trevor was one of my favourite characters in gaming

Demetrius9h ago

One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
