TIM WHITE WRITES: "Multiplayer or single player? Developers, you can do both, just not willy-nilly."
I hate when I see single player games and see people begging for multi-player. Jeez guys it don't need to be on every game. Latest one I seen was atomic heart.
Multiplayer or even co-op
If it was always a single player game then that's how it is
It's a trend that never really went away. For me multiplayer in a primarily SP focused game was an excuse for DLC. Then there's the mentality gamers had that adding multiplayer makes a game worth the price, otherwise it should be half price for half a game. A way of thinking devs reassured when they started adding multiplayer to their sequels. We see the same with multiplayer focused games getting SP in their sequels.
Tbh multilayer now is a way to add live service and mtx elements, very rarely does it come of well.
What single players game used to be in a lot of cases now require 3 other people for keeping to really enjoy it and I hate having to rely on others to get the maximum from a game.
Sp should be sp, if devs want to add a separate multi mode then that's fine with me, the legends addition to ghost of tshushima was fricking sick but totally separate to the main game. Sick of co op too.
I remember when certain single player games had them as included optional modes that was played on the couch. Had brilliant times with Syphon Filter and Golden Eye. Me and my bro used to used to fight over who would play as Gabe even though it was technically just a skin. Good times.
I hope the developers also don´t make compromises of parity for multiplats and exploit the strenghts of each hardware on this new gen
i see one developer is taking next gen seriously.
No more compromises? With a statement like that I guess Ps4 version should be the best Version available on consoles. We'll see about that.
How am I feeding into it? Explain that to me?
Fact is it's been too much talk, speculation, rumors flying around in the past couple of weeks. If one system has the horsepower that can run stable, let it shine to be. And I agree for the fact one should not let another hold up progress of optimization of a game to it's full potential.
Both systems are starting a new era and race in Next-Gen gaming. It's going to take a couple of years for Dev's to get into the swing of things to create some good looking HD games. I'm the type that if I hear or see something, I'll take it as a grain of salt until I see it with my own eyes. The new phrase N4G should use is "WE WILL SEE" when we get our hands on our consoles.
