Why does nothing from this generation multiplayer wise really feel like it will be truly missed? Over sequelization and feautre creep. The cost of high production values.

tdogchristy904124d ago

I already miss halo 3...then they cod'd it with reach and 4.

A7XEric4124d ago

I don't really see it with Reach, but def Halo 4.

ThichQuangDuck4124d ago

Halo 2 was my personal favorite,but Halo 3 was still. Great the companies become so obsessed with making money rather than keeping the core of what made series great

tdogchristy904124d ago

Thich,

I miss the fun antics arcadie, almost college buddy pick up and play feel it had. I guess a lot of that comes from my enjoyment in college. It was almost like a "party shooter" just fun.

Knight_Crawler4124d ago

Well said Thich...one game that I miss from this gen and wish they made another one is Lost Odyssey.

paydayp4124d ago

i just reply about this in a ni no kuni thread to guy who said he hasnt play a good JRPG since the ps2.

lost odyssey was so great loved the text stories and how they were set up with the sound and art. it worked so great.
the overall story was great also there´s still so much potential for a sequel. i would love it

kristoforsparrow4124d ago

The majority of my favorite multiplayer games are on the N64. That console was built with multiplayer as the focus, with 4 ports for controllers.

EddieNX 4124d ago

The Gamecube and wii were both great multiplayer consoles and so is now the wiiu.

It only take a go of Nintendo land , NSMBU or Rayman legends Demo to see this console is trying to keep local multiplayer alive and kicking...

Y_51504124d ago

I had a blast playing Rayman Legends at my local Gamestop with my Bros. Can't wait till it's time for me to get a Wii U!

Blastoise4124d ago

Bomberman! Had that on the Snes. That was a classic multiplayer game

Venoxn4g4124d ago

its amazing, I'm still mad at konami that there are no news (or maybe even cancel) or Bomberman 3DS

paydayp4124d ago (Edited 4124d ago )

wasn´t bomberman owned by hudson soft who went bankrupt?

Venoxn4g4123d ago

@paydayp Konami bought Hudson

Cam9774124d ago (Edited 4124d ago )

Here are some old MP games I enjoyed playing alongside mates:

• 007 NIGHTFIRE - a classic! This game had fantastic MP, I would love a HD remake.

• CONFLICT: Global Storm - acting like a fireteam with my friend where one person takes a buddy and the other does that too before departing down a different path was great fun! I personally loved the desert level with the Jeep.

• MOH (PS1) - OOoh yes, this game had funny personas and great gameplay; in my books, another worthy classic.

TheFirstClassic4124d ago

Still play mario kart and smash bros with some buddies from time to time, the n64 was the best system ever for local mp imo.

As Microsoft takes popular Xbox exclusives to other consoles, James Bond FPS Goldeneye 007 should get similar treatment on PS5.

Maybe it is time to just let Goldeneye go. People keep e-begging for this game and it came back in various iterations; remastered and original and in the end it was just meh. The game was a product of its time like Perfect Dark and Timesplitters.

Father__Merrin42d ago

It's from a bygone era that was good at the time but is pants now. Same with turok.

NotoriousWhiz42d ago

Whoa whoa whoa. Turok still holds up great.

YourMommySpoils42d ago

Isn't that like considering every other game too.

P_Bomb42d ago

When in doubt, port it out.

jznrpg42d ago

The game was a lot of fun for its time but damn that was a long time ago.

anast42d ago

There are better shooters now and better worlds.

NetherRealm confirms its Mortal Kombat franchise has sold over 80 million copies in the last 30 years, and here's how it competes against other fighters.

Don't care what anyone says, Smash isn't a traditional fighting game. May as well call Powerstone and Playstation All Stars fighting games. They're more of an arena fighter /party game.

NotoriousWhiz338d ago

You don't have to care what anyone says. It's not a traditional fighting game. But it is a fighting game.

gerbintosh338d ago

Not according to the creator, Sakurai. Link below

CrimsonWing69338d ago (Edited 338d ago )

I mean what makes them an arena fighter than say something like Tekken? Because there’s platforms?

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21338d ago

because theres a bunch of pokeballs and other random stupid stuff on stage that you can use at your advantage and flying ultra super power ball that you got to chase on the stage to get your ougi LMAO.

CrimsonWing69338d ago

@NatsuXTheMaxspeed21

I mean what it sounds like is they took a fighting game and “added” unique mechanics to it to me.

When I think arena game I think of things like Spawn: In the Demon’s Hand or Virtual-On.

Smash to me is a fighting game, they have fighting game tournaments for it. It just doesn’t jive with me to call it “not a fighting game” because you have poke-balls and platforms or because it has 4 players at once duking it out.

Power Stone I’d consider a fighting game as well. Hell, if you google what it is everyone calls these games “fighting games”. So yea, they’re fighting games…

Immagaiden338d ago

What’s next, you gonna say Mario Kart isn’t a racing game?

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21338d ago

oh its a racer but its not a realistic one like GT or Forza. only kids check for mario kart and smash .

Immagaiden338d ago

I didn’t say it was realistic. I said racing game. Does Burnout not being realistic make it not a racing game?

What does a demographic have to do with a genre? Do kids playing CoD make it any less an FPS? You see how ridiculous bringing up that subject is?

repsahj338d ago

"Only kids and kids at heart check for mario kart and smash".

-fixed!

FallenAngel1984338d ago (Edited 338d ago )

Nobody said it was a traditional fighter. Everyone acknowledges it as a platform fighter

PSASBR & Power Stone are fighting games, the former being a platform fighter and the latter an arena fighter

gleepot338d ago

You're correct, it isn't traditional. It's a fighting game though.

repsahj338d ago

Because if cute and lovable characters are fighting it's not a fighting game? XD As long there's a versus fighting, it is a fighting game.

MrNinosan338d ago

Including Smash Bros in a list of fighting games, is like including GTA in Racing games.

NotoriousWhiz338d ago

I hate to break it to you but smash bros has fighting game tournaments so it qualifies.

MrNinosan338d ago

"and here's how it competes against other fighters"

No, Mortal Kombat doesn't compete with games like Smash Bros? It's a different genre for a different audience.

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21338d ago

Anybody can host a tournament in their garage it doesnt mean it qualifies.

NotoriousWhiz338d ago

I'm going to assume you're not part of the FGC. However, I am, and I can tell you that there is a ton of overlap between people who play smash competitively and those who play other fighting games competitively.

Now for casuals, there is a lot less overlap between the two for sure.

PapaBop338d ago

While technically true, Leffen comes to mind, FGC and Smash community have always had a rocky relationship.

Thundercat77338d ago

And yet, If Smash Bros was over 80 million, you wouldn't be complaining. On the contrary, you would be bragging about it.

Immagaiden338d ago

Bad comparison. You do a LOT of things in GTA outside of a car while fighting is what you’re mainly doing in SSB

Ezio2048338d ago

Given the volume of games released, I would say Tekken has sold the best.

lodossrage338d ago (Edited 338d ago )

Yeah, that's a good point. Most of these games have parts to the franchise outside of traditional fighting games.

Like for example, with Mortal Kombat, do Special Forces, Mythologies: Sub: zero, and the Kollection count?

With Tekken does death by degrees or the tag tournament games count?

With Street Fighter, are we counting all the iterations of 2, 3, and 4? how about the ex series or alpha series?

There are a lot of variables at play here

Ezio2048338d ago

Even after including Tekken Tag, they have less titles compared to all MK and SF games.

CS7338d ago

Yeah, i realized that too. Very interesting.
