Don't Count Out Single-Player Games in 2018

After big single player hits from God of War, A Way Out, Far Cry 5, and others. It's safe to say gamers fears, that single player and narrative based games, are here to stay. Why, is it that some big publishers like EA, and Activision think different? Why, are some publishers trying to push the notion that a campaign focus games are dying?

You shouldn’t count out single player games or single player campaigns in any year.

Don’t give misinformed executives credibility by making numerous articles retorting their meaningless claims.

Timesplitter142587d ago (Edited 2587d ago )

A game like PUBG was developed in under a year by very inexperienced devs, and makes about $100 million every month in direct revenue. This is why studios are attracted to developing online games

Online games usually require very little work and assets. Think about it. PUBG is basically:
- A character controller
- A few guns
- A mostly empty map

and that's the whole game.

Single player is alive and kicking.

Single player story games today are becoming better than most Hollywood blockbusters . So no they are not going anywhere , if anything they are going to get even better .Don’t get me wrong there is always a place for great coop/multiplayer games also. That is why our hobby is becoming now if not already the best form of entertainment going . Thank you Sega, Nintendo,Atari, Sony,Microsoft and all for giving my life enjoyment all these years .

SP games are always rocking and are as much a part of the industry as they've always been! It makes me laugh when it's said SP games are dying or aren't profitable or when people act shocked that a well made game is well received!

Played and enjoyed Far Cry, Far Cry 3 and 4 campaigns .

-Foxtrot459d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor459d ago

Yeah, 4 was good, was hard choosing which Golden Dawn member to side with, when they were both pieces of sh!t.
I've beaten all the main entries except 2 and 6, ended up uninstalling 6 to download something else instead.

Profchaos459d ago

I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel

Demetrius459d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger88459d ago (Edited 459d ago )

Same here, I don't know why these games get so much hate. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them, with only a couple of exceptions. I wish they'd hurry up and announce Far Cry 7. The only thing I'm concerned about is the rumoured time limit.

When you're free on every single service it's eventually going to happen.

Profchaos810d ago

Part of PS plus at the moment

ChasterMies810d ago

Far Cry 5 is “free” if you pay for PS+ Extra.

gangsta_red810d ago

Going to have to try and get back into Far Cry. The formula for Far Cry may be fun, but it gets repetitive very fast.

Demetrius809d ago

Been playing this series since far cry 3 I love the adventuring vibe this series gives off even far cry primal is so good, but experiencing far cry 5 in 60 fps crisp graphics on ps5 for the first time is dope it adds life to it, I wana give far cry 6 a second chance couldn’t get into it at first I wonder if it’s worth it

A co-op only game should never be a standard

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

MadLad816d 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.

FallenAngel1984816d ago

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

-Foxtrot816d 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_drake816d ago

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