Singel- or multiplayer?

[XyZspineZyX]

For once, lets make a clean topic about just that!

Whats you opinion? When reading about a new game whats most interesting... how the SP or how the MP will be?
Unreal II dropped out all there was about MP, and let Epic take care of it in theyr Unreal Tournament 2003. UT2003 became a hit, and U2 a totaly flop! Does that mean that if you brake a game apart, one SP and one MP, MP is the onlyone selling?

For my opinion when I played Morrowind I was not in need of any MP at all... neather did I at Vampire: The Masqurade, but theyr both RPG games. When it comes to FarCry, I will play the SP couse of theyr amazing AI and stuff, but for my consern the whole SP part can be dropped... I only need a MP part for game like thit. Same abou RS: Raven Shield, the SP was good, but MP is all I'm going to realy play. However, Half-life 2 whould be nothing whitout a SP, but neather whould it be without MP!

Kinda complicated... Whats yours opinion? Specialy focused on FarCry!?

I am interested in both SP and MP. I personally prefer the SP in most games because of what the developers have done. The AI is going to have though a replayable factor. (Interests & keeps the player excited no matter what)

I can't wait for this game to be released so I can pop some heads./i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif

Well single player in fun at first but to have fun with the game for a long time, you need to have it multiplayer and that's what gonna catch my attention in the preview and review.

I'll pratice in single player to frag others in multiplayer /i/smilies/16x16_robot-mad.gif

Home of the sacrifices!!!

[XyZspineZyX]

I think they are two totally differnt things... I'll explain

Single player games are examples of games as an art. You interact with it but an 'artist' (read: games company) has created a world with a story and such.

Multiplayer games are examples of games as a sport. You compete with other people and there are rules which you must abide by.

So which do I prefer? Single player. But if I ever get broadband then they'll be equal.

Ooohhh... true... true indeed Newb! But if you ask me there is nothing like multiplayer!
When playing MoH:AA for the 3826 time, just following your target of choise whith the scope... predicting his next step after hes acts of causon. Pull the trigger, a nanosecond after hes darn head is safe behing a wall, for so to get a strong american voice in return saying; "SNIIIPEEER!", followed by a steelstorm trough the window you where hiding behind. In a mather of seconds your on your way out, desperate whith the colt between you fingers, you seek cover in the first and best bush you come across. With you heartbeat louder than the sound of murder futher down the dirty road, you do your best to stay absolutely still whilde five americans are searching past you... with no luck!

There is NO WAY an "artist" can recrate that! /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif

Uh-oh. Shouldn't have said that.

An Artist (ack, lets jes call 'em game devs) could recreate that and even has multiple ways of doing it. Either with advanced AI or scripting. See, see! I told you. Still disagree? Then go away.

"newb". What a dispicable word. It truly shows one's intelligence. As for the Singleplayer and Multiplayer aspect of Far Cry, I am greatly anticipating both. From what I've read the story isn't quite award winning, but I have yet to play it. Multiplayer will provide almost infinte replayablity because it's always different. Especially with mods, and since the Crytek engine is easily moddable, there should be a large mod community for Far Cry.

[XyZspineZyX]

Haha I didn't realize your name was "The Newb". I thought he was just calling you a "newb". Well that back fired on me. I was trying to defend you. Well all is made in jest. No hard feelings eh?

[XyZspineZyX]

Heh... Good to know you deffend the weaker part! /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-tongue.gif

And to you newb (note Filth, that is his NAME!/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-tongue.gif ), you surly havent played enought mp! Scripting!? You realy thinl scripting can recrate that? Nope! MoH is one of the bes scripted games out there... but did not compete whith its mp part at any kind! For AI... well, might sound posible, but... arr... well, belive me it aint! There is no way of reflecting the intense atmostphere of a realy good mp game by AI! Do the react different from what skin you use compared to the background you are hidding in? Do the all act different, some foused and know the map, and some not knowing what to do? Do the swear in bad english when you pop they heads?! Do they blame it all on the lag? I think not! /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif

You know I think it would be cool if a dev made a game and said it had multiplayer and you could start it and choose multiplayer option and it would look like you had connected to a server, but it was actually single player with immense AI. That would be cool.

That would be the biggest hoax. That would be pretty damned funny.

[XyZspineZyX]

It would be nice in the demo /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-very-happy.gif
