Tell that to evolve, iirc that one bombed.
Also didn't assassins creed get rid of its MP mode?
How about Skyrim? Pretty sure any good game will sell.
Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.
Not really. Most of these people who prefer Multiplayer arent really buying many games. With the people who play call of duty, thats all they really play and buy.
The people who prefer singleplayer are buying much more games. Look at mobas, there are more people playing than both Xbox 1 or PS4 have sold but does it generate as much money? not even close
| Snoopy said: Lol at people naming witcher 3 or batman. Look at Titan Fall. A new ip that sold over 5 million and more than witcher 3/batman. Also, it wasn't on the ps4 like these other games. I guarantee you publishers are seeing this. Takes less effort to make these games with a better reward. Only very few single player games are doing well, but they cost a lot more money and time. Look how long it takes GTA5 to be made or Fallout/MGS. |
Man, so your topic is basically that you are right and that the mountain of evidence that is presented against yoiu is irrelevant. Even though CD announced just yesterday that sales of the Withcer 3 passed 6 million units... it is irrelevant to you. You even introduced another strawman argument that the game must be a new IP. You called one of the top selling games of all time niche. Your argument is that you are right. How boring.
I'll settle this issue - single player games do well if they're open world games.

| MoHasanie said: I agree that all games do need to have multiplayer especially if the single player story or campaign isn't very long, but I don't think multiplayer should be the main focus. The main focus should still be on the single player part of the game. |
I strongly disagree. I'd rather if a developer felt their story/campaign wasn't long enough to justify full retail, they charge a lower retail price ($30-40?) rather than waste additional resources tacking on a mediocre multiplayer experience for the sake of it to try and justify $60...

Now that I got that out of the way, let me go on. I love single player games and there is nothing wrong with them, but the younger generation (soon to be the ones deciding our market) want to play multiplayer based games not single player based. Most single player based games are bombing hard in sales or aren't doing too well compare to multiplayer. While the ones with a lot of emphasis on multiplayer are succedding. Publishers needs to start dishing out multiplayer centric games (especially Sony and Microsoft since they charge for online). Go up to someone who played COD and ask about the single player and he is more than likely going to be like "what?". Single player games are more and more serving as a tutorial and nothing else. Very few single player games are doing well and the future doesn't look good for them. |
The industry determines what the market wants.
Video Game sales are only a success relative to developer/publisher. Profit = Revenue - expenses.
Also online multiplayer games are terrible for preservation, and local multiplayer is basically a thing of the past

Even that's false: Bioshock Infinite, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Dishonored, Uncharted 1-3, The Last of Us, X-com, CivV, the entire Mass Effect trilogy!

Uncharted, The Last of Us, Civ5, X-Com, nd Mass Effect (also open world) had MP. Bioshock sure. Did Dishonored really sell well?
