When Dead Space 2 recently announced a multiplayer component to the game, I had to sit down and think, “Is it really necessary?” Dead Space was perfectly fine as a solitary experience and I never did once think it needed a mode where I could play with my friends. But these days more developers have felt that a game must be shipped with some sort of mode where you can interact with other human beings in order for it to be worth something to a consumers’ eyes. I think not.
Soul Covenant feels like a game from the early 2000s, with its repetitive gameplay loop, waggle controls, and nonsensical story.
Indie developer Carlos Alfonso is working on Cold VR, a game where standing still isn't an option. The complete opposite to SUPERHOT VR.
Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.
This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.
tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?
Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.
By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.
It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.
Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.
I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.
I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.
I'm more of a singleplayer person anyways but it would really suck if multiplayer ends up comprising what I like.
I really depends on the game, but generally I don't play multiplayer as often as I used to. Games like COD4 I would only play online and Bioshock 2 I didn't even care to try. I did play Uncharted 2 online and it was really well done, but I got my ass handed to me since I was late to the level up game.
Personally, give me an extra hour or two of well polished gameplay instead of multiplayer.
i pretty much only play games with multi-player capability
Yeah just look at mass effec 1 and 2. I love both of them and they've done really well with just a single player campaign.
Depends on the genre. I think the only way a FPS can be succesful is with a well crafted Online multiplayer. There is too much competition on the FPS genre to not make one.
