Glad to hear they decided against it, the fewer devs tacking on MP the better.

@3 I dont get it! lol

Finally some sense from game devs. Can't they accept that not all games need online MP? This game would make it's shelf-life virtually forever for as long as PS4 is around. And that's a good thing isn't it?



Here's looking at Crystal Dynamics for Tomb Raider.

Dont need multiplayer, sure. But include Co-op! Games are always fun with a friend.

@3



Pun of the day goes to you, good sir! And it's not even 7am :)



MP has made fewer games than it's ruined in the past.

Good.



I don't mind some games with multiplayer, but Fallout doesn't need it. Wouldn't moan over an optional Borderlands style co-op mode in a sequel though.

Hallelujah! Finally, a developer with sense :D! More developers need to follow this example.

Wouldn't have minded a small 2-4 player co-op type of deal (even local co-op), maybe similar to the way GTA Online works where you can jump to an online character at any time and switch back to single player if required



But overall, if its purely offline, I'm ok with that too, just happy there is more Fallout coming

Good thing Fallout stays SP, period.

Now all bethesda needs is another elder scrolls without mp or mmo.

I wouldn't mind. What's wrong wit having one Fallout as SP only and having giant MMO kind of game in Fallout universe? I for one would love to play with friends, blasting mutants and and clearing up deathclaw nests. When did gamers become so selfish LOL



I am not saying drop the SP for sake of MP, but would be nice to have separate Fallout game where up to 100 or more people could join you per world. Now that would be fucking badass.

Whew.... That's one heck of a bullet dodged...

Good. Fallout doesn't need MP, though I wouldn't mind a co-op mode like that in Borderlands.

Was there ever a time when fans bitched and whined FOR mp? Seems like a turnaround everyday.

The multiplayer in this game would make no sense. If you were to use your character from the main game, the classes are so different how it could be fair/challenging?

For a game like fallout to have a multiplayer mode of any type it would be a logistical nightmare anyways, I mean how would you go about it?



the options are,



drop in drop out co-op, which sounds fine to start, but then you have the issue of what if someone other than the host picks up a vital mission progression item then disconnects, and how do you go about balancing the game which is essentially designed as a single player experience, for more than one player



possible fix to the item issue is stripping all 1 time only items from the co-op player and depositing them in some kind of bank for the host to collect







something similar to dark souls, where you invade another players game, maybe as a cult member or bounty hunter, but this would have to disable VATS, as transmitting the slow motion effect of it would break any kind of flow to the experience





the final, more workable option would be a separate save file for a constant co-op game, but with the scale of the game, this is very unlikely, as it would take many hours to complete.





as vinny said, a separate game entirely would be the best way to do this, but maybe not as an MMO [personal taste really, because I hate them] though this is the only option that makes it even vaguely plausible, as any other type of MP [aside from a battle arena with VATS disabled] saving becomes an issue too





My opinion isn't truly relevant, as I'm not a fallout fan, I'm just sticking my head in here to congratulate them in having a modicum of common sense and not shoehorning a multiplayer mode into the game for the sake of it, even though they think of it from the start





right, now back to swearing at some Japanese people for making frigid outskirts an area in dark souls 2, you absolute assholes, which fuck nugget thought that was a good idea

Shit man my heart skipped a damn beat lol all I saw was "Bethesda Cancelled Fallout 4" for like 20 seconds then my brain finally allowed to read the rest.

@14:



If you want a Fallout MMO, then download one the F2P versions on the PC. Games like Fallout, Dead Space and Resident Evil need to stay away from multiplayer and co-op because those features kill the tension and atmosphere.

@15, urrrgh, still disappointed with Resi 5. Why oh why. That and Dead Space 3 had all tension killed by including coop.

The Elders Scrolls was also a Singeplayer game, but they changed that, too bad, however.



Glad they cancel it.

fallout is not for multiplayer though co op would be a good idea



Forum Posts: 126 Comment #25 by XVinny84X Friday, June 26, 2015 @ 07:37:03 PM ( -1 )

@#21 DS and RE, sure. they are different kind of games leading you by hand and telling solid focused story. Games like Elders Scroll, Fallout, Far Cry, etc that have vast worlds where you forget what the story was about before you even get started thanks to all the side activities could very well use addition of co-op.



Besides nothing wrong with making another game. I would enjoy both, while you would enjoy only one=P

I have a buddy that keeps wanting cooperative options added to games like TES and Fallout. And while I can understand where he is coming from as an avid coop gamer, I think there are some cases where a game is best staying single-player only.

Good to see developers understand that multiplayer doesn't need to be shoehorned into a single player game.
