Is multiplayer the new single player?

We all love multiplayer right? Whether it be an MMO, co-op or local split screen, the ability to play games with your friends and family has always been a popular way to game.

No... single player is the new single player. Multiplayer is still multiplayer its just changing over time which is a good thing.

Oh man I totally agree. Keep that MP sheet out of my single player. I will stop gaming if it turns all into MP.

I don't mind the features but when it takes away resources from the SP and they both suffer I have a problem.

Many sequels have come out the last couple years that were originally SP and then they shove MP into it and both suck(Bioshock 2 in particular).

MP gamers whine and cry about adding MP into a game then they do, the whole game sucks and then those MP players move on to something else. They are like the plague for SP games. And don't get me started on the ridiculous reviewers that will score a game down because they didn't shove some kind of MP into it.

One of my biggest peeves this gen.

Bioshock 2 had a great SP.
Uncharted 2 was always a superb SP game, witha surprisingly addiciting MP.
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood BETA is a blast! No doubt SP will be great too.
Dead Space 2 will have an epic SP and MP.

Although at first I am always skeptical about finding a MP Fly in my SP Soup, they always turn out great.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit11d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing11d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
