I was looking at an update from Stargate No Limits and was thinking ... "I bet this is Multiplayer only ... again." There it was ...
Someone wrote: And concerning the gameplay, it will be mainly axed on multiplayer actions, but we're also planning to make a single player part, but that will obviously take more time before we can do it ...
Oh man, something has snapped in me reading that yet again .... There must be a billion ways players can interact online that does not involve the usual routine ... weapons, run around some kind of level. Frag, frag, frag. IS ANYONE SICK OF THIS YET ? Yes, I like doing it. I've been fragging since 2000 when I started playing Unreal Tournament. There are a lot of games that cover this gameplay very well, but do we really need another ? How about some innovation. Use the technology. Look at Twitter or Facebook or any other of the zillion ways that people are interacting online ... but somehow video games are still using a decade old game play style .... WTF ?
Actually there could be money involved here (yeah I know, what's up Holmes ?) ... but lets face it, the term "Multiplayer" has become a huge mrketting term and cash cow for the mainstream video game companies. They create homogenisation and brainwash people into thinking that they "need" multiplayer. But we're not them. We're independent modders or indie game developers so we don't have to follow their ideology ... so why do it ? Be creative.
