I was reading a Gamespot article which declares ‘Naughty Dog takes everyone by surprise by adding a social element to Uncharted 2′.
Should anyone really be surprised by this? The first Uncharted title didn’t include any multiplayer aspect and was a 1 player game – completely normal. But when you consider that some of the most successful games franchises are multiplayer games (COD, Unreal, Halo to name a few) and that a multiplayer element adds longevity to a game, then it makes sense to add such a feature to games. Whether they’re online or on your sofa, games are much more fun when played with others and gamers are less likely to sell a game on after completion if it’s got something left in it. I often just sell a 1 player game when I’ve completed it. The choice to complete the game again in ‘Ultra Hard mode’ is less compelling than the next new title I want to get! Multiplayer is going to become a much more common part of gaming!
