Remedy: "Single-player games are stronger than they have ever been"

At Reboot Develop, CEO Tero Virtala examined the new opportunities streaming services will create for independent AAA developers.

agreed, especially with a great setting, detailed cast of characters and an emotional story. Still a bit skeptical on control fulfilling these but we'll see when reviews come out.

'Remedy: "Single-player games are stronger than they have ever been'

Would you look at that. . . . Some still argue against this. . . they know who they are

[gamer7804]

you know what was a good story? Alan Wake! would love to see that story finished, i know they recently said they tried working on it but not sure why they didn't move forward with it.

I love single-player games and they will forever be my preferred gaming method but I would argue that they are not "stronger than they have ever been". It seems that they were stronger before MP was the 'norm' for many developers.

Love Live SP!!!

@gamer, another good story was quantum break. The live action stuff didnt do it for me but the rest of the game was fun to play.

People still read reviews in 2019?

if you read for biases in mind you can usually glean the information you need from then. sorta like reading the world news these day.

I said it before, single player games are far from dead. The market for online only games is so stuffed, only a few online only games are a big succes, and they are others who are dying out in a relative short time.
Dont get me wrong singleplayer and online only games can and will coexist non of them have to die off. They are both a part of gaming😉

I just wish so many weren't open world.

it's not hard to understand why people end up gravitating to single player games ….

online games are filled with issues and only a handful ever get it right.

1) maybe you dislike matchmaking that constantly puts you up against higher leveled, geared players
2) maybe you get tired of your online game becoming unplayable once the studio shuts down servers.
3) maybe you hate the other players who grief, troll, and make the experience sub-par and you can't block them from playing with you.
4) maybe the game becomes to repetitive doing the same thing over and over without having enough variety.
5) maybe you can't stand how items are behind paywalls and MT's

the list can be very long as people have different dislikes and things that just make the experience awful.

Then again many single player games with re-playability I've played for years and will continue to do so like
Mount & Blade and X-Com to name a few.

I'm looking for to Control, but here's to hoping we see a sequel or reboot to Alan Wake.

[Traecy]

We know this. Next.

Thanks Captain obvious

Single player games are my favorites!

Soulless, eternal grind loot games are not my thing.
