A Way Out Friends Pass Sets A New Standard For Online Play

With Hazelight's new game out on digital and physical store shelves, we take a look at the neat A Way Out Friends Pass that other devs should take note of.

New standard? Didn't Far Cry 4 have this feature?

It was incredibly limited. Only side distractions and open world Mumbo jumbo along with a 2 hour time limit and a limit on how many passes the game owner could send out. A Way Out has no limits. I own the game. I can invite 200 people that do not own the game and play the entire thing with them. A Way Out has no artificial limits.

Ah, I see. I only used the FC4 thing to demo the game and then I bought it. Didn't know there were any sort of limits on it. I knew I had 10 or 20 invite keys or something but that was about it.

I just finished this game with my bro, and MY GOSH, it was an awesome experience! When I saw how they were treating the co-op in this game, it was an instant purchase for me. We started out playing couch co-op with limited time yesterday, but finished it up online today. I hope this game sells well, because it is awesome and extremely consumer friendly! It's nice to see a developer release a game like this!

yeah it was a great expereince, me and a friends played through the entire game on friday night. full 6 hours non stop

I waited for this since last gen and RE5. But developers were busy to misinformed us with false promises, FPS BS and Graphics.

The only thing I hope EA learns is that when you make a quality products without microtransactions you get rewarded but then again this is EA we’re talking about.

A co-op only game should never be a standard

What works for one game shouldn’t suddenly be applied for most other games

MadLad782d ago

All they're saying is it set a standard for co-op games. Not games in general.

Though I'd say they already did that with their previous title Brothers: Tale of Two Sons.

FallenAngel1984782d ago

I meant other co-op games. Those other games should always consider singleplayer and multiplayer in their design

-Foxtrot782d ago

I don't know

I think co-op only games like this are good because it stops developers forcing in co-op into established franchises where it doesn't belong

gold_drake781d ago

im not sure if it set the "standard" of co op games.
