GameZone: ''Remember when games weren't all about the online experience? Now, every game developer and publisher seems so focused on multiplayer connectivity and online play. I don't know whether I'd consider this a “disturbing” trend, but it's a trend nonetheless.
Recently, we've seen EA's Peter Moore critiquing the Wii U and its “lack of online engagement,” specifically with their sports titles.''
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
Super Mario Maker's last level has been beaten, after Trimming the Herbs was revealed to be totally bogus.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "With Tears of the Kingdom being so recent and Nintendo’s next system likely coming soon, it’s safe to say we won’t be looking at another big Zelda launch title this around and it’ll likely be years before any ruminations of the next game start to surface, but in the meantime we can always speculate. Breath of the Wild changed things for the series by multiplying its popularity manyfold, so it would seem only logical that the franchise will continue along the path Breath of the Wild started, however a look at the series’ history shows it might not be as simple as that. So, let’s take a look at what the future of this legendary series might have in store for us, blending in equal parts qualified theorizing and wishful thinking."
"Actually, in our review of The Last of Us, multiplayer wasn't even mentioned and didn't factor into the score. Do you know why? Because it didn't matter."
Maybe if you tested it, you'd have realized it's not some random multiplayer added for the sake of online junkies. It's actually cool and fresh.
Otherwise, I'm not into multi, and I don't mind some online components being implemented as long as the SP doesn't suffer from it.
Why the hell show a picture of TLOU in this article. Did the multiplayer hurt the singleplayer in this game? Pick something relevant for that pic, not a game that is largely seen as having the greatest single player game of this generation. The two don't go together AT ALL.
In games like Uncharted and TLOU I don't think multiplayer is needed but it definitely didn't take away from the SP.
Alternatively in games like BF and CoD they are designed around MP with a SP experience thrown in.
It comes down to what you want really, if you are playing a CoD game you expect it to be heavily MP focused so the SP will not be mind blowing vice versa for TLOU.
No I don't think so.
I dont think there is a reason to be warry... YET.
But it is really disturbing how obsessed people are with the online aspect of gaming...
90% of the time, a multiplayer game is -in my personnal opinion- the EPITOME of repetitiveness...
You do the same thing... over and over and over and over again... you are looking at the same maps, you learn them by heart and all you do is perform the same actions.
To me this is boring... its like I am trapped in some kind of Groundhog Day thing, doing the same stuff, with the same goals and without even a proper motive.
So far it is manageable, it doesnt affect so much the single player portion, but if the push for online gets worse, then yes there is a problem.
I prefer videogames that have a story to tell, that give me new things to do, that put me in new scenes and new scenarios. With the advancement of technology, gaming is now finally able to break the boundaries and be able to tell rich and powerfull, emotional stories like the LOU, like never before.
It would be nothing sort of utter disappointment to waste this in favor of some maps, a couple of guns, and a team deathmatch over and over and over again...
Just my 2 cents.
