Gameinformer summary of Kotaku article.

tl;dr:

"The makers of such acclaimed single-player video games as Portal and Half-Life 2 want all of their future games to support connected, non-solo gaming, in some way, at all levels."

Interesting.

Team Fortress 2 is going okay

But if they don't do a single player game EVER again, i'll be sad :(

well just from the tl;dr it sounds like they'll do singleplayer games, but they will include multiplayer in some way. like portal 2 having co-op.

Well they can do with what they did with Portal 2 or Half-Life 1

just have a game with a singleplayer campaign while having multiplayer gamemodes

same with what most game companies do today

I'm looking forward to what they will release next. Very much indeed.

It says support. Therefore, it they'll probably still make primarily SP games.

Fredulus · April 25, 2011, 09:07:50 PM

i don't see how this is surprising, multiplayer is where the money is. "buy this game so we can play together bro!!!" among other reasons

Ector · April 25, 2011, 09:10:10 PM

Looks like fun, I don't see what the big deal about it is. I'll be able to bash up the Combine with my brother, hopefully.

Everything is multiplayer. Hell, my dogs bark at wolves in Minecraft, that's multiplayer right there.

I just hope they do something like L4D where you play with a small amount of people not 32 like in CS:S

Yeah, games are now shifting to a multiplayer experience for the casual/social gamers
