The Multiplayer Experience

NoMoreGameBlogs.com takes a look at modern multiplayer games, both online and offline, and where the field is headed. As of late, many games have received multiplayer modes, and NMGB gets to the bottom of why developers feel the need to tack on an extra multiplayer experience.

""""" I don't quite understand why games that were originally great, immersive single player experiences, feel the need to tack on a Co-op, or Team Deathmatch mode. Uncharted's gun controls were already mediocre to start with, and the combat was one of the worst parts of the game. So why would they then take their weakest point, and build an entire mode around it?

Now, don't think that I'm just making blind assumptions, because I've actually played the Multiplayer Beta -- granted bugs are to be expected -- but I did not enjoy the experience at all. It was exactly what I didn't want it to be; they hadn't improved the controls at all. I won't write the multiplayer off yet, because some people have said it's good. I guess we'll just have to wait for the retail version."""&quo t;""""" ;

Come on dude he's the only person in the world who didn't like it everything else is okay i guess

A disturbing trend in my opinion. I would even take an extra 2 hours of quality SP in a game like Bioshock 2 or RE5 than have a throwaway Team Deathmatch mode (like in RE5).

nomoregameblogs6096d ago

I have absolutely nothing against multiplayer, as some people have speculated. it can be great if a mode is built with a lot of time and effort put into it. Not just a cash in to extend the life of a game. I agree with dgroundwater, I would most of the time love to have an extra hour or two of single player instead of online multiplayer. I would even prefer split screen or offline co-op more than online (Killzone). While it's great to play with friends online, you don't get the same feeling when they aren't sitting next to you and you're laughing. A headset doesn't do the experience justice.

So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.

I mean 0, 1 and Code Veronica should be way before we get into 5 or 6.

Darkseeker89d ago

5 and 6 are so bad that even Capcom want to pretend they don't exist.

Levii_9289d ago

Dude Code Veronica is bad too but RE5 and 6 were mega successful and to me it makes much more sense for Capcom to do them instead. Nobody cares about Code Veronica except niche fixed camera era RE fans, i bet most modern RE fans probably don't know Code Veronica even exists. Based on all that i don't believe CV remake is coming but we will see i guess.

MehmetAlperTR89d ago (Edited 89d ago )

Actually RE5-6 was not Classic RE game.. They are not even Survival Horror game.. They are just an action game with coop and named by RE... And for me RE Code Veronica was masterpiece.. I remembered the first time i played it in Dreamcast.. It was absouletly excellent game. And specially for RE6.. I was quit from game after the camera shakes when Leon's kick to zombies.. There's a video about RE6 and they are telling the truth about that shitty game https://www.youtube.com/wat... here it is.. Enjoy it..

Neonridr89d ago

people are DYING for a Code Veronica Remake. Not sure who you are talking to, but the die-hard RE fans of the series are very familiar with every entry. That's what it means to be called a die-hard fan.

neutralgamer199288d ago

Levii

I am sure If they were to remake CV that it 2ont have fixed camera angle. I hope whatever they do they take their time like RE2/4 remakes and not rushed with cut content like RE3 remake

Before they should do RE5 they should go back and remake earlier games. In a perfect scenario we would get CV and RE/Zero before RE5/6

Tapani88d ago

Code Veronica on Dreamcast was absolutely AWESOME.

It makes more sense for them to remake earlier games like Code Veronica. RE5 is a good game though - it's not THAT different from RE4.

RE5 just doesn't really need to remade in general. The co-op element makes it tricky - you'd probably add more moments where Chris is by himself enhance the horror but some would want co-op to stay.

thesoftware73089d ago

RE:5 Was and still is a great game, with hands down the best Merc mode, that I still play from time to time with my brother.

RE:6 blah, I agree, it was awful.

Redgrave88d ago

Other than Code Veronica, 6 is the one ai want to see remade the most only because pretty much everything has to be redone; can't streamline that hot mess.

DarXyde88d ago

6 was pretty bad. 5 just tried too hard in being an action-oriented RE4.

In some fairness to Capcom, 5 was the first Resident Evil on then-new hardware for them (X360 and PS3). And it was pretty damn hard to follow up RE4.

Imagine everyone's surprise when EA of all companies dropped Dead Space.

Alos8888d ago

The first half of 5 wouldn't be too hard to do in the more grounded style the remakes have gone for, but the second half gets pretty silly and uncomfortable at parts.
6 is a wash. You'd have to basically make a whole new game to salvage that one at this point.

__y2jb88d ago

6 is garbage. 5 is excellent.

Hopefully if and when they do a RE5 remake, they give it the RE3 remake treatment, because this is certainly one title that I don't want a faithful remake of.
