With the superficially devastating news that Arkham City will not feature a multiplayer element, Kapow Games discusses the options Rocksteady had and whether the sequel will benefit from such an omission.

Devastating news? Why does every game need to have multiplayer these days?

GrieverSoul5583d ago (Edited 5583d ago )

My thoughts exactly! As soon as I saw the "devastating" news part I almost broke my monitor out of rage.

I honestly think a good single player game trumps a average single player game with tackled on multiplayer.

UltimateIdiot9115583d ago

I found it to be great news for the lack of multiplayer. It's so rare for games these days just to focus on story without tacking on some cheap multiplayer.

Downtown boogey5583d ago

The concept of the rumored MP component seemed almost revolutionary. That's why it's such bad news.
It sounded awesome.

andron5583d ago

It's not a problem. how would Batman mp really work? Batman is a solitary figure anyway.

Just look at games like the Bond games. They put mp in, but how many are playing that?

Eternus5583d ago

I think this is amazing news. Finally a developer who recognizes not every game needs MP.

a08andan5583d ago

Well multiplayer could be great if it was local, like playing with a friend or two, but no more than that. Glad they decided to not include it though since it often feel tackled on like many others said before me :)

Dsnyder5583d ago

Mp ruined assassins creed. dont let it ruin this as well.

fredfenster5583d ago

Didn't ruin it for me, but it was totally unnecessary. Tried it out once, then went back to sp and kept it that way. Apparently there's a lot of young gamers that can be convinced by worthless mp's. A drag isn't it.

Deanways5583d ago

Do you think we'll ever see a game that has an equally high quality MP as it does campaign? I was foolishly hoping Dead Space 2 might be that game. Now holding out for Uncharted 3.

Rocksteady's New Game Director Is an Assassin's Creed Franchise Veteran

Rocksteady has hired a new game director that not only is an Assassin's Creed franchise veteran but even worked on the Batman Arkham games.

Blad3runner00271d ago

I wonder if ex Ubisoft employees put “worked on Assassins Creed” on their resume or not, as it would give an automatic red flag to avoid hiring them.

cloganart271d ago

Unlike what we may personally think, most AC games have received generally favorable critical acclaim and managed enough commercial success to warrant an uncomfortable amount of sequels. 😂

neutralgamer1992271d ago

A series which has sold over 200 million copies should be on your resume contrary to popular belief people doing the hire want to know if you have had success before

TheColbertinator271d ago

Plenty of gamers enjoyed Valhalla, Odyssey, Ezio's trilogy and the Origins. High critical acclaim and high sellers to boot. Get off your high horse.

Inverno271d ago

The vast majority of the industry follow the Assassin's Creed template for open world games. The issue is fanboys wanna act blind to the fact that all the issues they have with AC are present in all the open world games made in the last decade. While also not having touched an AC game in that long.

It could be great! He worked as Design Director on Arkham: Origins & Game Director on Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Valhalla and Origins.

I think this is a great sign that Rocksteady is shifting back to a Single Player experience after Suicide Squad.That's reason enough for me to celebrate.

YourMommySpoils271d ago

Time to copy and paste Altairman and his hidden batblade ability.

YourMommySpoils270d ago

it'll be all fine and dandy until until the crime fighting due same gender relationships kick in lol

anast271d ago
