Dead Island Make a great job with the Co-op...

OMG, now i reaally want that kind of thing on my Skyrim..... say to one friend "hey, helpme with this mission"

99% of the time, other people suck.

So I hate to be forced into finding the 1% I can gel with.

As long as I can turn it off, fine. But make it a core element of the game and you've lost a sale.

Alos885020d ago

I really, really hope not.

Psychotica5020d ago

I was thinking the same thing

“Storytelling is key in open world games,

I stopped reading.

Mandatory Grinding or whatever us on his crazy shiny head, to inflate progression in a single player game is not my idea of fun. Ignoring the story and playing with the world is my idea of fun.

Psychotica5020d ago

Why do they think that everyone want to socialize with everyone else. If it's not this then it's a game you need to play as team or some other such crap. Sometimes people just want to play a game by themselves and after working all day that's exactly what I want.

THEY ALREADY HAVE!!!

The PC has many MMO's that play like SP games but have the extra added dimension and game play of being MMO's with thousands of other gamers running around.

Vindictus, FireFall, The Secret World are just a few that come to mind instantly were the single player campaign at any time can turn into a huge MP event then right back to SP campaign in an instant with out any stoppage or pausing of the game. You could be exploring along all by yourself and stumble upon a huge battle between other gamers, do you join sides, just watch, or move along? This adds an element to the SP campaign that regular games do not have.

I think mnay people have the wrong impression of MMO's and they only think of World of Warcraft when they see the letters MMO but WOW is just one type of MMO and it's an OLD type as the new generation of MMO's are basically SP/MP games all rolled up in one.....and yes you control your own combat just like any other First Person or 3RD Person shooter.

FireFall, The Secret World, Black Prophecy, Tera, World Of Darkness, Guild Wars 2, Planetside2 and a few more are all on my radar. MMO's are the Future!

TheDivine5020d ago (Edited 5020d ago )

Its already started. I think it will work best if done like demons souls, journey, and dead island. Blend multiplayer with the singleplayer but only set numbers more like co-op than an mmo.

It cant be mandatory on consoles because not everyone has internet and not everyone wants to play with others.

Looking forward to the announcfement of Halo MCC coming to other platforms. I'd love to see an influx of new players for some blood gulch matches.

darthv72146d ago

Sadly.... no. There is always E3

InUrFoxHole145d ago

I was hoping for gears beta 😒

Lightning77147d ago

Speculated games that could be that 1 more thing.

Resident Evil 9 (maybe imo)
Persona 6 (not likely imo)
FF Remakes (not likely imo)
New Lost Odyssey (definitely not, its not a long running franchise)
Ninja Gaiden 4 (maybe and hopefully)

I really hope it's Ninja Gaiden 4 but its probably Resident Evil 9.

Christopher147d ago (Edited 147d ago )

I hope they don't waste the direct advertising a third-party game. We get enough of that with Sony.

Edit: Ugh. Disappointed. Not that it's NG4, but that they used this time to advertise a game that doesn't need it over another 1st Party title.

Lightning77147d ago

Ninja Gaiden 4 is freakin back! I played all of them so I'm excited af for it.

Lightning77147d ago

Not saying this will happen at this show but apparently a new a Halo could get announced. Yep a brand new Halo. Could be a spin off or something but. A new a Halo announcement would be pretty wild.

autobotdan147d ago

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black!!! Wow!!

VersusDMC147d ago
