Why Bother With Multiplayer

Why is it that every game that happens to have guns in it must have a multiplayer mode? Example of multiplayer that nobody seems to play is Assassin's Creed. Making its debut in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood I've always found the multiplayer in the AC series to be a unique take on the traditional model. Its blend of trickery, misdirection, and straight up stalking is a decent amount of fun. Again it just doesn't seem to be as popular as the big three.

Because Billy games need value.

Cam9774940d ago

I see what you did there.
The only multiplayer I've dealt with this year frequently has been Uncharted:3 and DARK SOULS.

KillerBBs4940d ago (Edited 4940d ago )

truely Some of the worst online experiences I have every had is with this game. Unexcusable Hit detection even on a high speed connection.

SJPFTW4940d ago (Edited 4940d ago )

Because asking us to pay $60 for a 6 hour campaign is stupid. Having a good multiplayer mode does not even take away from the single player experience either. Halo, Half-Life, Gears of War, Uncharted, Starcraft to name a few with good multiplayer and singleplayer. All it takes is effort, most of the bad multiplayer this gen is because they were COD copies and tacked on the last minute due to laziness

Perjoss4940d ago

Been playing lots of ZombiU multiplayer recently with a friend, its couch only but its fun as hell, 1 player spawns different types of zombies RTS style and the other player has to run around staying alive searching for ammo :)

Coach_McGuirk4940d ago

because it's boring fighting against AI.

I'm happy with Part 3 & Blood Dragon getting the 60FPS treatment. I'll eventually try Primal, maybe this weekend.

Rumour: Halo Remake Is Coming to PS5, Will Feature 'Modern Gameplay Mechanics'

Halo will make its PS5 debut with a massively modernised remake of the original Xbox game, Combat Evolved.

That’s according to the Halo Leaks account on X (or Twitter), which has accurately outed information about the franchise in the past.

I expect this to be announced pretty soon. Can't wait, this game was awesome. I wonder how of a remake it'll be though, hopefully not a remaster because we already have that lol.

S2Killinit248d ago

It needs to be a complete redo of graphics or else its not my cup of tea.

hennessey86248d ago

it will be running on unreal engine 5, so it will look good. The question is will it run as good as it looks

GenoPurpel247d ago

I think they teased it a few months back when they announced Halo studios. It does look quite incredible graphically but as Hennessy says above, how it runs is gonna be a different story given UE5 track record.

darthv72247d ago

it would probably be like the gears of war reloaded. Which was a remake of the remaster of the original.

...this gen is getting confusing with so many re-whatevers.

@S2K: “ It needs to be a complete redo of graphics or else it’s not my cup of tea.”
I completely agree with you and would add a VR mode as well🥺

oh yeh, theres like a showcase soon, maybe they'll announce it there.

or at the game awards

but ue5 only looks pretty. the games run ..
abit weird.

Notellin247d ago

It's being shown at the Halo World Championships which they had already announced a few weeks ago.

RaidenBlack248d ago (Edited 248d ago )

Better reboot than another re-touch (remake after an already remaster) .... but 343/Halo is incompetent now, so .... guess this is best they can do with help of Coalition

pwnmaster3000248d ago

So much memories with halo.
The original Xbox was my first console (actually 64 but barely played) and the first game was halo. Me and my brother use to play coop almost everyday.
We eventually traded in for a PS2 because of kingdom hearts lol

maximusprime_248d ago

I played the first 2 Halo games. That's Bungie's Halo.. I do not know whether 343's Halo is as good as Bungie's.

Either ways Halo is one of Microsoft's big franchises. So many rumours so it's becoming more likely it'll come to PS5

darthv72247d ago

Halo 3 is Bungie's game... so is Reach and ODST. 4, 5 & 6 (Infinite) are 343's. They aren't bad... just different. The original trilogy story ended and should have finished there. But MS wanted to 'Star Wars' this franchise and came up with new stories that sort of just sit there.

TheColbertinator247d ago

You haven't missed out much since Bungie left.

Halo art director leaves studio after 17 years with ominous message alluding to discontent

Glenn Israel writes: "As of today and after seventeen long years, I am officially no longer contributing to the Halo universe. There is little more I can say for the moment, though I intend to share this particular story in its entirety when it is absolutely safe to do so next year. In the meantime, I have a message for anyone and everyone who needs to hear it.

I know that the state of our industry seems dire, but never forget that you are *free to choose*. No illusion of security nor promise of wealth or fame or power is worth trading away your health, your dignity, your ethics or values - and no one can force you to. Stay strong, take evidence when necessary, and find where you belong."

My god.
There's a story for next year.

VenomUK252d ago

I’m really disappointed to learn there are still people/morale problems. I thought the whole point of rebranding 343i to Halo Studios was to signal that real changes had been made - not to cynically rebrand to paper over the problems.

I really hope the Halo CE remake is great and gets people hyped for the future of the series.

DarXyde252d ago

It's inevitable with the modern landscape. Even if some issues have been assuaged, new ones crop up all the time.

I'm willing to bet AI and the lack of regulation is causing substantial upset.

shinXseijuro253d ago (Edited 253d ago )

He said something very marking . We tend to complain a lot about the industry but deep down I realize that we never have we been offered this crazy amount of games all available for you to play now . You can literally play any sorts of games in 2025 . Nobody is forcing you to buy the latest COD or the latest BF . You’re more of a 8 bit cozy gaming guy there’s a whole niche of modern games for that . You like micromanaging there’s games for that . I feel like we have been spoiled so much we just stopped being realistic and thinking for ourselves . We follow trends cry about stuff online when you are the buyer you have the power .

Notellin252d ago

I'm not buying any games until another Immersive sim is made.

PhillyDonJawn253d ago

....wth happened over there?
Does this confirm a new Halo by next year?
What did they want him to do that made him feel it was morally wrong or a insult to his integrity?

-Foxtrot253d ago

Well how about that, a name change doesn’t fix internal issues

Who would have thought

jznrpg252d ago

MS was throwing money around for a long time but now it’s time to pay the Piper.
