Having no MP is a shooter is a pretty bad choice. If Sony wants anything close to Gears they'll need solid MP and Co-op modes as well.

Never have they said anything of the sort that the Order is their gears. its only forum BS that gets passed around way to much by people that havent got a clue.

That's what I was thinking too. There might be sections where you split up from the group, or you lose track of one another. Who knows...Just have to play the game to find out. I just hope the friendly AI is good and I don't feel like they are holding me down.

Maybe it'll be like Uncharted, where your buddies seem to be using BB Guns, since they probably need 10 times as many bullets to kill an enemy as you do. :D

I really don't see where you're going with this. Does the game NOT have cutscenes to help tell the story or something? Why would you be "constantly playing a different dude when you start up the game"? I see many people comparing this game to gears and I guess I can see why. So if that were to be true then playing co-op would be the same story

Because if the game was four player co-op, what are the chances you get to pick the same character? Plus if they only focus on one character during the cutscenes, then if you weren't actually playing that character, you wouldn't really care about what happens to the one you are playing.

Anyways, it's a developer decision. They have played the game, you and I haven't. I'm sure it's not difficult for them to offer four player co-op, they just feel that the games story wasn't designed for it.

Its been done in many cases. Never was a problem then. DerNebel's explanation would be a way better reasoning but "picking the same character" is not enough of a problem to omit co-op.

How is that holding them back from allowing Co-op play? Everyone will know who the main character is. If you ONLY focus on him then what's the point of having the others in the game? Building personalities for the other heroes is what makes a great story driven game. It wouldn't change if you add in co-op to play with friends.

Simplest explanation is just that you don't have several characters with you at all times in the game, there'll probably be phases in the game where you'll have all 4 main characters around but also phases where there's only Gallahad or 2 guys or 3. They probably don't want to limit the possibilities of the story by having to make sure that you can play the campaign in Coop at all times.

This makes a lot more sense. Thanks.

That really pisses me off...When I had allies on my side, but I feel like I'm doing all the work lol.

I enjoyed both RAD's GOW games. The concept of this game and its mechanics and backstory sound pretty interesting so its one I will be buying once I get a ps4.
