First Person Shooters Need Strong Multiplayer Says Crysis 2 Producer

Is it me or do these developers have a major stick up their ass. They're making a FPS that involves fighting aliens in a destroyed city, the soldiers all were super suits that give the player a sprint function and invisibility and they keep going on about the "unique" game that they're making.
Just because it uses system resources, doesn't mean it's going to be graphically worse. There's even an Escapist thread about this. It's only going to be graphically worse for consoles, whereas the PC version will have all it's graphically lovely stuffs.Abedeus said:
As a guy named for Xan Kriegor (first person to point out the mispelling in my name gets slapped) I only ever played the Unreal Tournament series singleplayer. Why? Because try playing it during class in high school and the teacher comes along and sees you just killed someone named "Huge_dick". True story from my 2008 senior year, I was playing Unreal tournament 2004 because learning how to use spreadsheets is a lot more dull and that happened. Needs a strong multiplayer you say? The only multiplayer game I play is called World of Tanks (my game of the year for 2011). That's all, nothing else. Why? Because you can have an epic multiplayer game but you can't change the fact that people are assholes. If you can fix that then yes I will gladly play it. Till then keep making singleplayer games more epic.
I agree - both need to be good, but if you don't have a stellar single-player mode, you're not going to sell well without good multiplayer.
I'm looking forward to Crysis 2, though, now that I have a PS3.

Tell that to Ken Levine and the other guys making Bioshock Infinite.
In my honest opinion, no game NEEDS multiplayer. Games should always focus on their single player campaigns first. After that is done, then you can make a multiplayer part. Many great games (Uncharted for example) can receive praise for having a great single player and a decent multiplayer.

is this half admitting to having weak single player? and frankly i stopped enjoying crisis as much when i stopped killing the koreans. not being racist there, i just really enjoyed the standard ganeplay with an awesome suit, following their patrols and stylishly executing them one at a time. when the aliens turned up, i kinda stopped enjoying it as much
I'm going to say he's and idiot, while multiplayer is certainly good, nothing beats a well designed campaign.
