Read the rumors about Dead Space 3? Online coop campaign with more action etc...

Stuff like that is the reason i thing last gen was far superior to this one, being social and playing online is cool and all, but if it's at the expense of taking a game from its roots, and going away from what made the game good in the first place, it should NOT be there.

Great single player IP's shouldn't have to comply to this stupid online fad that doesn't benefit or even deteriorates games. There will always be people like us who love a good, whole hearted single player experience =)

Total Agree

Imagine what will happen if Bethesda decide to add it in Elder Scrolls or Fallout

...even though people know that it would probably destroy the single player and add a ton more bugs. Plus making it so they would focus on the co-op bugs instead of the single player ones. The game would be ruined

It's the reason why people bug me who want it in those games. They know it would sacrafice the great single player experience but just want it so they can show off to there friends for a few hours then go on another better co-op developed video game leaving single players with a crappy single player experience.

Why should they want to appeal to the casual gamers? And why should they want to "appeal" to the Western market?

Do you know why the West buys Japanese games? It's because those of us who buy them like them. We like their quirks, their cultural references, their particular style of game-making. IF they can implement some of the same things that Western developers do in an effective way that doesn't harm their signature style or that of a particular franchise, then I'm not against it.

But the LAST thing I want is for them to change the things that gave Japanese games their flavor in the first place, just to cash in on the fickle and ephemeral casual market.

don't get me wrong, I play a ton of single player games, as my favorite genre is RPGs. But online co-op does make many action-adventure games a lot more fun (Gears, Borderlands, etc)

He’s changing his tune. When Microsoft bought the Gears of War franchise from Epic Games Cliff Blezinski gloatingly wrote: ‘I suppose this puts the nail in the coffin of the question “Will Gears ever come to PlayStation?”’

Maybe he’s in line for all the royalties that will come from the PS5 remaster.

I haven’t seen this face for an eternity..

Just like sony did Resistance .

Not to mention that it was the game that convinced Microsoft to use 512MB instead of 256 of RAM when they showed them the build difference. Microsoft was so impressed that they HAD to have it.

The PS3 had plenty of power to run.

PS3 was pretty capable hardware and it had a better (albeit difficult) CPU than the Xbox 360, though Xbox 360 had a better GPU. It was generally a wash between the two. The RAM difference came down to configuration (unified on X360 + 10MB EDRAM, split RAM pools on PS3).

Don't know what you're going on about.

@breakablealex: “ Back in the day Gears was graphically top notch and Playstation didn't have the power to run it.”
Is that why PS3 low/mid gen games was looking far better than Xbox 360? Is that why uncharted beat gears at the game of the year awards and the other 2 ether won or was nominated while gears was left at the lock doors 😱

“ Nowdays the hardware is pretty equal.“
😩🤦🏿
I see the obscured decease is spreading 😱
