    The future of single player...


    Are developers aiming to remove the days of playing single player (alone) from future games. Titanfall is a game that's going to be online. There will be single player objectives, but you will still be online with other players.

    The Division... I don't know much about this game;but it does look as though it'll be online, with teams of people running around the map at the same time as you.... You can join them or fight them to survive.

    Destiny..... Described as a MMO shooting game that again; let's you team up with other people to complete the objectives, while you can run into other teams.

    The Crew... Basically, a car game that requires you to complete tasks.... Online (think Smuggler's Run).

    Personally, i'm looking forward to these games because they're set to bring better experiences with online gaming. I can see the downsides to this and I'm sure a lot of other people do too.

    What are your thoughts on this? Are you looking forward to "always online games" or do you prefer the Good old single player?

    :)

    What changes would you like to see to Assassin's Creed's gameplay?

    -No future stuff
    -Single player focus

  3. Titanfall will never be what CoD was IMO

    There's nothing to say that Titanfall won't have Single player in future games. Even Unreal Tournament 3 had a single player mode when it made it's way on to Xbox 360 and PS3.

    Getting rid of single player games would be like if the movie industry made every new release 3D/48fps. Not going to happen, not everyone is interested in that experience.

    Always online will do me, but each to their own some prefer single player.

  6. It depends on the game, I only play forza 5 single player cuz I suck at it! But I only play call of duty online as I get bored after 5 min of campaign. There will always be single player games around.

    The problem with always online is well.....just look at Battlefield 4....GTA 5 and pretty much every other online game, its always a disgrace at start and sometimes takes weeks and weeks to sort. Brink had the same idea, blurring single player and multiplayer
    and while it wasn't the best game, i enjoyed it.

    Single player games will always have a home, its the same old thing, some games just dont need multipayer and often suffer for having it shoe horned in.

  8. The future of single player...

    I like a lot of campaigns and buy a lot of games primarily for the campaigns. I wouldn't have touched Gears if it wasn't for the story, I'm not interested in Guitar Hero or Forza online and Assassin's Creed, Bioshock and GTA/Bully never would have got anywhere
    without their campaign modes. I won't go in to the reason why RPGs like Fallout, TES and Fable should remain single player only unless they build MMOs from scratch.

    -

    That said, game like Call of Duty and Battlefield are just fun to quickly play through when you can't really be bothered. Without their online modes they wouldn't be worth £5, let alone £55. I think it all comes down the the style of the game but at the
    same time, I think it's important that devs try to make their games appeal to everyone with both modes but without trying to distract themselves and make a game something it's not. It's all a case of balance.

    I think/hope there will always be a place for a good single player game, if we ever got to the day where all games were "online only" would be the day I give up gaming.

    The trouble for me is I haven't played a MP game in recent years where I've said ... "Doesn't feel much better/much different than anything I've played before. Take Battlefield 4 for example, now when it's working it's great, finally have 64 players on console,
    even so, does it feel much different to any Battlefield game before? not to me it doesn't. I'm not saying this is all bad, people that are still into Battlefield will love it, I really enjoyed it for a while, trouble is the novelty soon wore off.

    I just hope games like Titanfall, Planetside 2, Destiny etc will finally give me a game that doesn't feel like I've played countless times before.

  10. I don't mind online but I wish they stop making single player games into online, like assassins creed and tomb raider, they really don't need multiplayer, I was looking forward to the new plants vs zombies game but that's online only so now I'm a bit disappointed

    Its when they feel obliged to add MP to well established SP games, that's when it spoils it for me. i.e. Tombraider. Keep them seperate please, don't spoil the SP experience.

  12. Tombraider multiplayer was just terrible... it baffled me even more than when it came to releasing DLC and it was all multiplayer, despite the many many requests for more singleplayer stuff. All I can assume is someone thought the future of gaming was in
    multiplayer and wanted a piece of the pie.

    .

    To some degree I think GTA V proved that to be wrong, despite the later addition of GTA Online I 'm pretty sure most people bought it for the singleplayer experience.

    .

    TBH I don't mind some kind of online mode being added so long as it fits with the spirit of the game... the online mode for RYSE for example goes well. When it's just tacked on deathmatch, etc for no reason it's pointless, even more irritating when it's
    poor multiplayer and half the games achievements are multiplayer based.

    .

    That scene from an early Red vs Blue where they're discussing why they're fighting over a sealed off canyon with no tactical value kinda sums it up for me.

  13. The future of single player...

    I need my single player and I don't think its going anywhere soon. I do however, like the direction they are taking with online only games. I think last generation was one of the best generations to date but it lacked MMORPG's. I know there were a few, but
    I want more this time round and I don't want to have to pay the developers. Yes Square-Enix, I'm looking at you.

  14. I agree cloud.... MMORE MMOs please!!!

    Defiance was a huge letdown for me.

    .

    I think that's why I loved Borderlands 2 and Chromehounds so much, both pretty much the same model as an MMO.

  15. I enjoy the single player aspect as its more relaxing... Multiplayer games get me too stressed sometimes specially FIFA.
