Singleplayer games that could use online multiplayer

With the unveiling of God of War: Ascension’s multiplayer gameplay, there has been a subset of gamers who find the idea blasphemous. Multiplayer is, undoubtedly, becoming more and more pervasive in the gaming industry, and there is some truth to the notion that it is drawing attention away from creating compelling singleplayer experiences.

I think the only one I agree with is Crash Team Racing

But...not like thats going to happen

Come on ND buy the rights back off Activision.

Outside_ofthe_Box4787d ago

Activision is greedy. They probably already tried to buy the rights but greedy Activision probably asked for a ton of money.

user54670074787d ago

It's sad because Activision aren't even doing anything with the IP any more they cancelled the last Crash game they were making.

TheLastGuardian4787d ago

I have a sudden urge to play Crash Team Racing.

I still have hope that Sony will buy back the Crash Bandicoot rights and get a studio to make Crash games similar to the games Naughty Dog made. I don't think ND wants to go back to making Crash games but that would be awesome if they did.

Eiffel4787d ago (Edited 4787d ago )

Naughty Dog never owned the rights to Crash Bandicoot. Universal did. Universal had a publishing deal with Naughty Dog before Sony bought the studio, thus both Sony and Universal entered a distribution agreement with the Crash Bandicoot IP, it lasted up until the release of the PS2.

Relientk774788d ago

Crash Team Racing is amazing, its my fav racing game ever and I still play it.

gtxgamer24787d ago

No, amazing singleplayer games dont need multiplayer. Unless its like 5 hours long

Hicken4787d ago

If it isn't shoehorned in- if it's built well from the ground up- then I don't mind.

But if it's just a weak tacked on mode, I may just pass on the whole game.

Kyosuke_Sanada4787d ago

We of the single player delegation would like to trade off Shadow Of The Colossus for Ring Of Red......

fOrlOnhOpe574787d ago

Just completed Kingdoms of Amalur (and its DLC). Fantastic game and my first 'proper'RPG.
Couldnt help thinking though, running through such a huge and awesome world, an online co op mode would take the game to another level (if the game's difficulty was ramped up some lol)

EA Cut Dead Space's Marketing Budget to Pour Into Mirror's Edge Due to Mock Review Scores

Former Visceral Games devs reveal Dead Space's marketing budget was cut in favor of Mirror's Edge because of mock review scores.

Knightofelemia174d ago (Edited 174d ago )

I wish EA would just release a DS2 remake. DS is my favorite horror game and DS2 is the best one in the franchise. But because DS1 failed to meet certain numbers EA scrapped the DS2 remake. SH2 remake was great rumors are Konami might be asking for another SH remake. The RE2 remake was great EA just needs to give it another try. But all they seem to do is shitty sports games that are no different from the year before. Change a few players, add different uniform colours, maybe change a team logo. Wash, rinse, repeat.

goken174d ago

Agreed. DS was great. But DS2 was even better. Would love to see a DS2 remake, though I would love to see a DS4 even more.
The problem with EA is they make easy $ from the slight changes to their sports titles like football FC games (whatever it’s called nowadays). People just lap that sh1t up.
Comparatively, games like DS which don’t sell 10s of millions, can’t sell them team player add ons and all the like, would seem a hassle to make and unappealing comparatively. Especially when you consider that most EA non sport titles haven’t actually performed well recently.

Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

chicken_in_the_corn174d ago

The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.

__y2jb174d ago

I loved the original dead space but the remake I just found boring. Game design has moved on and the game really showed its age, just small area encounters repeated again and again.

I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .

Inverno173d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex173d ago

I'd rather see a new and great Mirrors Edge than another boring Dead Space.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya873d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled873d ago (Edited 873d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney873d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled873d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist873d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin873d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled873d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE873d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi873d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE873d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
