| NYCrysis said: The Last Of Us failed in mp since they couldn't add infected to it, warhawk, starhawk, and mag failed to get any traction and are dead, and they failed with lbp karting and ps allstars with much limited budgets and vision. Uncharted had tacked on mp and resistance while fun also failed to delever anything new. I love Sony but imo in the long run xbox will catch up if Sony doesn't take its head out of its ass and innovate in multiplayer. I love single player but with the ps4 its been just that. Only sp games. While microsoft has and will have mp focused games like titanfall, Dead Rising, plants vs. zombies garden warfare, sunset overdrive, and Halo 5. All of these have great communities, are popular, and are system sellers due to wanting to play with friends. PS4's exclusives consist of indies, indies, indies, Killzone:SF (bleh), Knack, Infamous 2nd son, MLB, and the Order. Where the fuck are the big budget games? Where the hell are the mp big sellers? Planetside: Delayed, Wheneverquest landmark comes out, and h1z1 are all games that could be huge but ofc who needs to release them on the ps4 anytime soon. |
The Last of Us and Uncharted are singleplayer games at heart and yet they both have fantastic multiplayers, something that many SP focused games cannot achieve. While i do agree that their multiplayer offerings in general dont appeal to a large audienece doesnt necessarily mean they're bad. Warhawk, Killzone 2 and Gran Tursimo 5 are some of my multiplayer games of the last generation.
The other thing is this generation is going to see alot of multiplayer only games or MP focused games so why should Sony fire all guns towards MP titles (I would much rather great singleplayer experiences), its going to be a hard market to be successful in considering the competition that is already present: Call of Duty, Battlefield, Destiny, The Division, Titanfall and many more to come, 3rd party can easily carry the Sony's lack of great MP games. But that being said i do agree that they should have 1 MP focused developer like Zipper interactive used to be. Also SOE should prioritise the PS4 first before PC (or at least release they're games at the same time), after all they are a Sony owned company/studio.
