no multiplayer?

[WULTHUZ~(swe)~]

was really happy when heard of this release. shadow warrior is classic. but why no multiplayer?

[M.D. Chaos]

it doesnt need it simple as that multiplayer is mostly tacked on

[Storm]

The development team have decided to focus on Single Player and make the game dedicated to SP

[Muleke_Trairao]

Besides, not every game needs multiplayer -_-

[Sc0mBuNNeRRR]

It would be nice to know from an actual dev why they made this decision tho.

Since the old shadow warrior had an awesome multiplayer I would expect the reboot to have one as well but looking at the gamepaly videos the combat doesn't seem tailored towards multiplayer. I think it will do fine without it but I would like to know from a dev why they left it out in case my assumptions are wrong.

I was hoping for coop, but whatever :\

This.

Blowing AI up is awesome but it's even more fun to do it along-side with your friends, or even to your friends. I think I'll enjoy it still.

My guess is that they don't have much expierence in making a balanced multiplayer. Painkiller didn't really have a multiplayer, it was there, but no one ever talked about it. Hard reset doesn't have a multiplayer. It could be cool, but a lot of the weapons are over powered, everything would be nerfed to the ground, grav grenades, X-ray railgun, etc.

Just because it has multiplayer doesn't mean everyone will play it. Why waste time and resources in something that will be dead in the week? Now if they really put time into a Shadow Warrior Multiplayer, allowing us to have powers and melee combat, it would be something unique and lasting, but if we are just shooting each other at high speeds, it would be dead quickly, as we have other games to do that, RoTT 2013, UT99, U2K4, Quake live, serious sam 3, etc. So why not focus on one aspect and make it great, and see if there is a fanbase big enough to make multiplayer.

Multiplayer requires extra money, alot of extra money. Not to mention that even after release it requires money to keep the servers up and if you wanna keep your community alive you gotta release more content for it. It a money issue. Simple as that.

[Prymark]

If not online competitive, at least make some sort of co-op. What's more fun then blowing ♥♥♥♥ to bits? Blowing ♥♥♥♥ to bits with your best friend!

[Kawaii]

I would have liked multi or co-op.
I guess I should forget its 2013 and co-op/multi has been around for over 20 years. But meh
It now cost 10 million dollars to make a game.
+ 10 million for a campain
+ 10 million for co-op.
+ 10 million for muliplayer.
Who has the time to even try anymore. Just give me your money so I can go buy a nice car!

Its always more fun to play with others. I know its not always possible but in a game like this? cmon!

[Kawaii]

Painkiller? Isn't that the zombie game full of porn ? Nice name drop
okie okie not porn just went to screen shots on the hub and felt wrong looking at them.

If you want a balanced MP you gotta sacrifice fun in SP. Fact. They wanted over the top action with SP and you couldnt really play MP if you could blow ♥♥♥♥ up left and right.

Also, Painkiller had a HUGE multiplayer and pro scene and whatnot.

Simple fix. More mobs.

I don't seem to recall the multiplayer aspect in the original Shadow Warrior ruining the single player experience. I've been a fan of the original game since it's release but I won't purchase this for the sole reason that I CANNOT WangBang after completing the campaign a few hundred times. It doesn't have to be some shoddily tacked on extra, or even be "real" (not p2p) multiplayer, I was excited at the idea of a updated Shadow Warrior but and although the game looks fun the lack of multiplayer absolutely kills it. It's 2013, it's not like it's something that's hard to do anymore.

Balls, the multiplayer in original SW was my favorite part, indeed, my fave death match game of all time! No coop or wangbang in this version? WTF?! Guess I'll wait for this to drop in price.
