Subject: Tomb Raider to have multiplayer...

I am the Thorian, known as Species 37 to you people. I am an ancient sentient plant that is fifty thousand years old. My ability to hibernate for thousands of years makes my real age impossible to guess though you are welcome to try.

This can only end well...

A question I saw in one of the comments of the article caught my eye; why do the developers think we need multiplayer on every game nowadays?

Everyone takes turn pressing X to not be molested.

Because of Halo and Cod. It allows you to skimp on the game and still have a game with longititivy .

Wait!

Are you saying it is the main goal for every company to make as much money as possible and to have a product that appeals to as many people as possible? What a shocking concept!

Yay? I'll wait and see.

If it sucks then simply just play single player. Why do you people oppose extra features and greater replayability?

  • 12.28.2012 5:05 PM PDT

With a reimagining, I'd say it's possible for decent success.

Because the resources used on multiplayer could have gone towards improving singleplayer? Especially when the game is singleplayer-focused?

I wish developers would concentrate more on campaigns.

In terms of bang for your buck multiplayer will always outweigh that though. People said the same thing about assassins creed and it having multiplayer was a ridiculous idea.

Yes, I'm a furry. And yes, I like men. So what?

Damn.

I remember the day when I completed the very first Tomb Raider game. Compelling experience, IIRC. Not sure how they going to add multiplayer to a single-player game, but if they were to add it, let it be coop.
