Which matters most – single or multiplayer?

As review scores drop for Medal of Honor, GMG asks: what counts for more when it comes to a score? Is single player always the primary consideration? Or has the multiplayer scene developed to the point that it deserves equal billing?

Who cares as long as i have fun thats what matters to me.

Downtown boogey5701d ago

Thus far multiplayer-only games have sold significantly less than SP-only titles (naturally excluding WoW), so...

OneSneakyMofo5701d ago

It's subjective and based on fun and immersion. Multiplayer games will cater to multiplayer. Single player games will cater to single players.

I don't see people replaying the BFBC2, Halo Reach, Call of Duty MW2 single player campaigns.

I don't see developers creating multiplayer modes for God of War 3 or Alan Wake.

The only game I've ever truly wanted MP for was Just Cause 2. 16 players just flying around the entire world blowing up stuff seems like so much fun.

iHEARTboobs5701d ago

Just Cause 2 definitely needed multiplayer. Imagine all the mayhem!

GoldPS35701d ago

It depends on the type of game for me. Sports, racers, and some FPS I prefer multiplayer. RPG, platformers, hack & slash, and puzzle games I prefer single.

I prefer single mostly becuz you don't have to worry about being cheated like you do in multiplayer.

MrMccormo5701d ago

Single player.

Multiplayer is fun for a while, but a new MP mode will always come out and replace the old one. The single-player campaign - on the other hand - will last forever if you like it enough.

lol wii is for single player only. Btw this guy is racist

Single player if you are over 12 years old and 'trivial' things like stories matter to you.

Croash5701d ago (Edited 5701d ago )

Because you shouldn't depend on others to be able to enjoy a game.

I say in most cases because sometimes the game was made for online, like MAG or Team Fortress 2, and they don't need SP, or the developpers were really focused on the online part of their game, making the SP absolutely awful compared to the MP.

gillri5701d ago

in this case MP which is why Im not buying as im only interested in SP

In general SP>MP

Video Game Franchises in Danger of Being Forgotten

The gaming industry moves at such a pace that it’s not surprising we’ve seen countless franchises fall into obscurity over the years.

Im surprised that a game with a heritage of Medal of Honor is in this list.

cthulhucultist559d ago

There is a rumour that Driver 1 & 2 remasters will be released for Switch and presumably for other systems as well.

https://www.gamingbible.com...

Not sure however whether this results into new games in the near future.

HellspawnPR1981559d ago

Ninja Gaiden? Splinter Cell? Tenchu? Virtua Fighter? Killer Instinct? Killzone?

DefenderOfDoom2559d ago

I would very much enjoy
a new dedicated single player Killzone campaign. With a fun multi-player.

cthulhucultist559d ago

Tenchu and Killer Instict would be great indeed!

Unfortunately new Killzone game does not seem to be in the works

Virtua Fighter is going to receive a new entry!

https://www.dualshockers.co...

Splinter Cell is likely to be one of the remasters launching next year (not sure whether this has to do anything with the remake previously announced)

https://toronto.ubisoft.com...

HellspawnPR1981559d ago

Yeah, read the news about a new Virtua Fighter and I am so ready for it. Splinter Cell at this point I don't believe anything Ubisoft says plus I don't think modern day Ubisoft can make a decent stealth game. They will likely fuck it up.

Inverno559d ago

Basically everything at this point as companies have no concern with preservation.

Remembering Medal Of Honor: The Forgotten Master Of WW2 Games

Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."

banger88762d ago

They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.

FPS_D3TH760d ago

Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid

PrecursorOrb760d ago (Edited 760d ago )

I wish they’d remake warfighter

Strictly for the campaign

The_Hooligan760d ago

I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.

Medal of Honor 2010 was a good start for a modern reboot. The campaign was fantastic. Multiplayer wasn't great but that's DICE's fault. I'd love if they went back to that game and gave it a proper sequel.

SlothLordPootus1257d ago

I actually really liked the multiplayer in MoH 2010. Battlefield gunplay on small maps. I would love to see a Rising sun remake, the opening scene would be amazing to see.

SonyStyled1257d ago

I enjoyed the multiplayer of MoH 2010. It felt like battlefield 3 in a way. The multiplayer in Warfighter was also pretty good but the campaigns single player story was not appealing with the whole family cutscene thing. Gameplay was fun though. MoH to me is the PS1/2 titles and I don’t expect to see a WW2 MoH after the last Call of Duty’s

Levii_921257d ago

PS1 MOH 1999 and 2000 (Underground) and Allied Assault PC is my childhood.. it's still soo good and it holds up. Not to mention Michael Giacchino's soundtrack is one of the best video game soundtracks ever made. Even if you weren't born in early to mid 90's go listen to the main theme of Allied Assault and you will be overloaded from nostalgia.

I miss this franchise a lot.

Iceball20001257d ago

I’ve always thought that MOH and Battlefield should be separate…

Have MOH as the full fledged single player with an amazing store and whatnot. And a basic multiplayer just to have multiplayer. Sorta like how the MOH reboot was.

And then have BF as the full fledged multiplayer with all effort put into that and ditch the single player. Maybe add Commander back in.

Only in a perfect world.

HeliosHex1257d ago (Edited 1257d ago )

Oh man medal of honor on pc was awesome back in the day. Multi-player was fun. Joined my first clan on medal of honor. Definitely deserves a comeback. But needs to be on the same level or surpass COD. Since it came out before that ip in 1999 to avoid embarrassment.

FGHFGHFGH1256d ago

The guys who did Allied assault are the one who created call of duty. They're back at EA, Vince something

MadLad1257d ago

I'll be the weird guy in the room and say I actually loved Warfighter. I thought the squad mechanics made it stand out a bit and thought the shooting felt good. Put a lot of time into the multiplayer.
