| Miyamotoo said: If you know difrence why you keep comparing local 1vs1 multiplayer is not same thing with online multiplayer with more players!? Good multiplayer online mod could be easily far stronger and far more apealing than local 1vs1 multiplayer that some past MP games had. Metroid Prime Hunters was DS game so I can just imagine qualite of online play on DS back than, but despite that game was more apealing with that online mod. Fact that Metroid never sold on MP, doesnt mean that good online mod wouldnt made MP4 game more apealing. Guess what, Nintendo never before had online shooter and than they made Splatoon. Like I wrote, MP4 online would offer quite different experience compared to Splatoon. Saying that we have Splatoon so we dont need any other online shooter on Switch is stupid. Who said that MP4 online needs to be like CoD!? They could make quite good MP online multiplayer mod, no need to make brand new IP again. You do realise that MP4 can stay focous on strong single player experience and again to have solid online multiplayer online mode!? |
You keep banging on about 1v1 when Hunters had online already so your whole notion about online MP has already failed before hunters was criticised for its more MP focused approach which is the opposite of what you're claiming will happen. The series never selling on MP is the whole point its not going to bring in the people who are heavily into MP games people will only ever buy it for single player.
Only thing stupid is the notion that MP4 needs online to be big because it's failed 3 times before in that department MP is not going to expand Prime, name a recent game which has had strong single player and online because the majority of games today focus on one of the other because of developments resources, COD and BG have moved more and more away from single player while other titles that are more single player focused don't bother with MP due to the fact we don't live in a fantasy land were everything can be done at the same time with no issue or cost. You know why this is? Because consumers focus on the aspect they recognise the series for Jim Sterling of all people touched on this when he compares game companies to those in the pasta sauce industry and ironically what he said is applying to your mode of thinking here as well.
To sum up his analogy companies would do only one flavour thinking they can perfect it when a researcher found doing a different flavour is what yields results, in this case you want Prime to offer the same flavour COD already does and consumers looking for that flavour will simply still pick COD the different flavour in this case is Splatoon. You keep saying Prime can offer a different experience to COD but have offered no example of how.
