Newell: “It’s single-player plus, not no more single-player”

Scrawl: "Last month, Geoff Keighley’s Final Hours of Portal 2 iPad article app brought to light the ‘fact’ that Portal 2 is Valve’s last ‘isolated single-player experience.’ A new interview with Valve CEO Gabe Newell reveals that the company is not doing away with single-player, but are instead adding elements to make it more connected."

Half-Life 3 co-op confirmed!

despair5508d ago

I dunno, maybe an extra campaign like Portal 2 but not main story, I mean its HL and I like soloing it.

-Alpha5508d ago

Well I was sorta kidding. But definitely hints at some form of co-op in Half Life 3

GrieverSoul5508d ago (Edited 5508d ago )

I hope the core of "single player", stays single player. if they want an add-on in the form of co-op or online multiplayer, its fine by me. More ways to enjoy a game. But the main single player I want to play it alone.

A game that did a nice co-op style was Phantasy Star online for the Dreamcast. You could play alone or with friends and the game was amazingly cool.

"Half-Life 3 co-op confirmed!"

Don't even JOKE like that. You'll give Valve bad ideas.

Not funny, Alpha. If they give me the option to do coop meaning I can still play SP then fine. HL is meant to be a solo game.

rabidpancakeburglar5508d ago

Well obviously, it's unlikely that a company like valve would swear off of single player games considering the success of their single player games

i remember how he hated ps3 and favored just pc and 360. But now i respect him for showing ps3 support and look forward to the Future for what valve has in store multiplatform or exclusives.

tdrules5508d ago

he doesn't favour platforms really.
he's said he's very agnostic towards platforms in interviews multiple times

Rybakov5508d ago

yeah putting money in peoples pocket tends to change your opinion on things over night

Lirky5508d ago

But its the Ps3 developers can use blu ray to add extra storage like game content that could of been left out that can be added as bonus chapters or just an add-in to make the game longer.

Rybakov5508d ago

but they never do games still come out that are 5-10 hours long and anything like added chapters or new expansions are always made with the game and purposely left out to have dlc for it that 10-15 dollars for an hour or two of extra content

yeah they could take the time to fill the entire disc and the game,content,and quality worth 60 bucks.....but they dont and they wont

wallis5508d ago

HA!

I fuckin' knew it, they'd never ditch sp narrative. It's what they do.

Valve has responded to New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit against the firm, stating it does not believe that lootboxes in its Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2 games unlawfully encourage minors to gamble, adding it was "disappointed" to see the action go ahead despite efforts to "educate" the NYAG about virtual items since "early 2023."
