Multiplayer in the future?

[PAYN]

The only thing holding me back from buying this is multiplayer.

[Asterbie]

I was thinking this too but i decided to buy it anyways

[Rockon]

Because everything needs multiplayer.

But in all seriousness, not a terrible idea. Keep in mind, however, two people made this game. One coder, one artist. Multiplayer in any form is way out of their league.

It's not entirly impossible but it wouldn't be easy...but I think it would be amazing to coop in this game or even deathmatch with a few people would also be awesome...but if it did get multiplayer it would probably only get a 2-4 player coop...but I can always dream of a deathmatch :)

coop would make this into dead space 3

[Dog]

thats a stupid reason for not buying a awesome game

It's basically impossible to tack on onlinemultiplayer to a finished game.
If there will be multiplayer, it will be splitscreen or players sharing the same screen. I think there is a lack of splitscreen games for PC, especially as the most entertaining gaming sessions I've had were with splitscreen action games.
It's totally undecided, and will not be decided in the near future, though.

demanding multiplayer from all games is stupid, this is a fantastic SINGLEPLAYER game.
Spec ops: the line is a good example of what happens when you tack rushed multiplayer onto a fantastic singleplayer experience, you should buy this, it's great.

Some people still play local co-op.

[it's complicated]

yes 2-4 coop would be nice, i dont see it coming anytime soon but if a second game or edition is coming out i would highly appreciate multiplayer. even (w)LAN would be fine.

[Nasty Peep]

This game would be way too simple if you had 2-4 co-op, or any multiplayer. Honestly, one person could kite the enemies while the other players mow them down without danger to themselves. IF multiplayer does get added, PLEASE add full damage friendly fire, even with knife, otherwise this game would be impossibly easy....but to be fair, I suppose making friendly fire toggle-able is kind of needed.
I completely agree that demanding multiplayer for all games is pretty silly, there is such a thing as settling for a good single player game, this one for example.

[Stop the Insanity]

I think this game would make for some good deathmatch, but Cattywampus (lol what a name!) brings up a good point about enemies getting kited by one, and shot by another. Surely, they can devise a way to make it still challenging though, maybe make enemies tougher and have smart groups that split up after each player as evenly as possible.

[Just The Blips]

Actually multiplayer would be kind of stupid if you think about it. How many times early did you run out of ammo and had to start knifeing most likely alot. Take the ingame resources of it being scarce and x2 that. two people need the guns to survive 2 people need the health kits. currently it would be a stupid idea unless they reworked the whole game for two players which would be stupid again because it would lose its wow factor. If they add multiplayer might as well add non perma death and regen health because those are also in other games.

[juksmann]

Local multiplayer is something we will probably try. If it turns out to be fun enough is a totally different question.

[Asterbie]

yeah thats all i could hope for!

[it's complicated]

its worth a try and if no one likes it they can still do single player, otherwise theres really no point on not putting multiplayer. its a win win situation.
