In memory of couch co-op

I was going to sit down and review Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, but instead I’m going to complain about a distressing current trend in games: lack of couch co-op.

Frankly, if I wasn’t such a Resident Evil fanboy (or needing a copy to write a review), I would have left the game on the shelf there and then. Operation Raccoon City is nothing BUT a multiplayer game, and I’m sure there are many couples who want to pop that disc in their console and take on zombies together. Alas, it’s not going to happen; you have no other choice than to defend Umbrella’s seedy side with remote friends or strangers.

Local MP is still way funner than online, even with headsets it just not the same, I don't play as well, laugh as much nor enjoy the game as much. There's simply something awesome about playing together in on one room that online doesn't seem to convey.

stevivor4384d ago

Fully agree, TheFinalEpisode. Also, it's easier to start a game when you're in the same freaking building. Most nights on BF3 I've got friends with router issues that keep dropping in and out...

jony_dols4384d ago (Edited 4384d ago )

Quake 2 on the PS One, Goldeneye on the N64 ,Timesplitters FP & Star Wars Battlefront on the PS2 = Best local multiplayer games ever.

Online MP can't touch 2 vs 2 using multitap!

Lord_Sloth4384d ago

I miss Local Co-Op... Some of us don't feel like purchasing X amount of the same title to play together and its not very fair to make us.

NeoTribe4384d ago

Well borderlands 2 is commin so that should keep you and a buddy busy for along time. Plus its easily one of the best coop games around.

Laxman4383d ago

Oh, I didnt know it was offline co-op, thats awesome!

humbleopinion4383d ago

Hoe is couch co-op being missed when there are more games this gen with couch co-op probably compared even to the previous 2 gens combined!?

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming13d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long13d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming13d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor13d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6913d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming13d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno13d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming13d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast27d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg27d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

CobraKai26d ago

Still tryna milk a dried up cow

I still think this release was a big waste of time. I would have been a day 1 purchaser if they had redone the game w RDR2 graphics. I still own my PS3 copy, so don't see the point in picking this up if it's minimally improved.

CobraKai43d ago

I bought the game cheaper than the remaster on 360. There’s no reason in releasing the game at that price with so little improvements if any.

Profchaos43d ago

It's nice to have it as a handheld game I guess if you travel a lot but yes the ps5 release was a joke

kaos8943d ago

It plays at 60 fps on PS5 and a higher res if you value that.

OtterX43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

Yea, PS3 graphics at 60fps and 4k doesn't warrant the price. It was severely disappointing considering they already created so many of the assets north of the San Luis River (New Austin) in RDR2 and could have reused a lot of things, or reworked things bc they are the same area at different times in a fairly close history. It's friggin' Rockstar - you know they have the money and resources to have done it.

jznrpg27d ago

I like that I can play the game on current generation console but it would have been nice if they did more to make it look better.

Profchaos43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

They should have released the game in its current state not the state it launched in. Obvious we all wanted this to be a expansion to rdr 2 given that the original map was already remade in the game lots of people though this was just going to be added in later as paid DLC.

Now the game runs at 4k 60 fps on ps5 and can be brought on sale it's actually worth playing.

At launch the game was priced far to high and was a ps360 era game that couldn't run at 60 fps.

I'm in no way a frame rate snob I defended games like tears of the kingdom in the past for being 30 fps experiences but rdr was a joke at launch
