Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
This Canada Day, explore our homeland with the best video games that have adapted or reimagined the Great White North in digital form.
If EA and Motive Studio plan on remaking all the main Dead Space entries, they have to change a lot of what made Dead Space 3 so divisive.
Simple, do not bother with a Dead Space 3 remake. Rather have a new entry for Dead Space.
Remaking 3 would need to be a reworked and somewhat changed remake as 3 was flawed in most peoples eyes and the worst entry.
In truth, the original Dead Space concept was multiplayer, it just was never implemented. It's true that every game doesn't need a multiplayer aspect, but it's also true that some games should've had it, like Dragon's Dogma and Max Anarchy. (I'm mainly refering to offline multiplayer, which seems all but absent recently) Both games should've had split-screen co-op, as both games were structured in such a manner.
You know what im more ticked off with at the co-op, the typical, grunt, soldier, with crappy one liners where he tries to be funny but comes off as a douche they've added instead of letting us play Ellie. It should of picked up straight from the end of second one.
I just cant believe how they managed to ruin the franchise after how many people complained about RE5. The worst part is they are still trying to convince us its still a horror game when all their videos for it say otherwise
Sometimes I wonder do devs or whoever is control realize that certain games arent better with a MP component.
Like Bioshock adding MP.
There are certain games that would suck without MP....COD, BF series. And these types of games are played for years after release.
How many ppl are playing Bioshock or Dead space MP?? Im sure not many.
I know WHY they do it. But does it really help sales of said game?
Yay, another douchebag video game journalist telling me why multiplayer is so bad.
Journos need to start holding publishers accountable for this, and consumers. Developers have their hands tied. A little perspective please. Products are made to compliment consumer needs.
Yes, single player is great, but multiplayer gets large groups of players playing at the same time. I'd argue that the industry was saved by multiplayer at a time when the global economic issues are putting pressure on publishers to stick to comfortable, recognizable brands. Sony is investing millions and the risk is significant: it's already in financial strife. Hope it doesn't end up like SEGA.
We should be embracing what's available and what's there, rather than trying to represent a moral benchmark of what's right and wrong with the industry. People are commenting and critiquing developers and their games without really knowing the market or business models at play.
The reality is that, yes, corporates are driving this, but the last time publishers had little control there was a video game crash. Sometimes you need a little quality control, brand control, market control, and then when things are better, you invest. Why create new IP now and try to create brands so late?
Give it time. The next gen will bring with it amazing single player experiences.
I dont play multiplayer so i hate multiplayer in my single player focused games, multiplayer killed Dead Space and Resident evil, nuff said.
