Question  Multiplayer/Co-Op & Frictional Games? NO!!!

What if there was a multiplayer version where one person was the human dude and everybody else was the creatures or 1 creature everybody else humans trying to kill it or like on Doom 3 there could be coop. So what do ya think.

RE: Multiplayer?

depends on the enviroment
we dont know if it is close quarters or have large open areas
if it is close quarters i would say no, cuz then 1 person is allways taking the lead and would get boring kinda fast then

would be cool with a manhunt type of game tough Smile

RE: Multiplayer?

Unlikely, coop and horror do not mix well. Also, there are numerus mods where you are a human and your enemies are player-controlloed monsters (Natural Selection just to name one). I also think that the HPL engine doesn't support netcode.

RE: Multiplayer?

Multiplayer on a game like this, no, it won't work well, not when you don't can carry any weapon. Would be like Hidden Source / Vampire Slayer (Mod to HL1-2).

RE: Multiplayer?

I am afraid there is no multiplayer planned. We are putting all effort in making a great single player experience.

RE: Multiplayer?

Just to clear things up:

- The engine has no support for Networking

- It would be trivial to add network support.

- Networking will be added when we make a game that needs it.

There ya have it Smile

Finally, I'm rather fed up with all these multi-player games. I wanna play on my own before my PC and mess things up without others seeing it...

RE: Multiplayer?

Multiplayer sucks, no matter how good the game is. Why? Becuse you either play with idiots or assholes. Or a friend.
