Multiplayer Isn't So Massive Anymore

Kotaku: "Bungie seems to have coined the term 'shared world shooter' for their newest IP, Destiny, but the general concept might sound familiar. While not everyone may be a fan of huge MMOs, lots of people seem to be into multiplayer gaming and downsized, explorable worlds where you can play with a relative handful of other gamers seems to be the choice pick for developers."

I hope this is still fun solo.

P0werVR4266d ago

I wonder why can't they just call it Multiplayer Online?!

MO FPS (Destiny)

MO third person shooter (The Division)

and whatever MO game that it comes out for.

I mean this is a somewhat new genre, and we shouldn't deviate too far from what this game is obviously...a multiplayer-online game. Simple.

Roccetarius4266d ago

A lot of MP games these days get the ''Massively'' word thrown around, even though they're just simple MP games.

What Bungie is doing seems more like a co-op game, instead of an MMO.

P0werVR4266d ago

Exactly an MO without the Massive. Simple.

So an MO FPS game

MidnytRain4266d ago

That term isn't useful because basically every FPS game has online multiplayer.

P0werVR4266d ago (Edited 4266d ago )

^

Yes multiplayer, but not always online. Hence, "Multiplayer Online". That is what that term basically means. Take Massive out, and the term sticks very well.

The Division could be a MO Third Person Shooter. Or Fable Legends, MO RPG. Simple and concise.

spicelicka4265d ago

Does it really matter, no one can pinpoint exactly what it is because clearly everyone is arguing over it. It's their game, let them decide what they wanna call it, and you call it what you want.

I'm just gonna call it..awesome.

MidnytRain4264d ago

"but not always online"

But almost every time... A term that includes 99% of multiplayer FPSs isn't getting any traction.

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese29d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde29d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast29d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake29d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow128d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown37d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8537d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown37d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8536d ago (Edited 36d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole35d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name37d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast36d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj36d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!

I believe it's been on ps+ a few times over the years of I'm not mistaking same goes for gamepass.

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Profchaos49d ago

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto49d ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

FortWaba49d ago

Trash article and trash website.

Doesn't even mention WHEN it's leaving.

gold_drake49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.

the headline is misleading asf.

also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha

gamerz48d ago

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?

Shiore2u48d ago

There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?
