| CommonNinja said: well online gaming is clearly where we are going... Just think about it, the last 2 E3 winners were Evolve, and Titanfall, two multiplayer only games... And now days, you will be hard pressed to find a game that is SP only. The majority of games have some sort of online features, so I really don't see what is so bad about this. Obviously the 24 hour check in thing wouldn't be all that great, but what they were basically tring to do is turn the Xbox into a steambox of sorts. And for steam you have to always be conected to the internet..... Anyways, It really is as simple as "if you don't have an internet conection, don't get an X1".....their vision for the console has always been to be an online console, and thats not going to change anytime soon. |
Post E3, titanfall wasn't exactly a breakout success. It did good, not as amazing as we hoped.
You dont find many SP only, but there still is a demanding market out there for good single player stories and campaigns and gameplay.
There will always be a healthy mix.
For example, The last of us has an amazing story, with great length to it. GTA 5 has a long campaign (I wasn't too much of a fan of it), neither requires online to play.
The multiplayer portion of both is decent but forgettable. GTA sold like 30 million. Top selling in the series I believe. TLOU sold 5/6 million, even more digitally. There is strong demand for story and gameplay.
