I can't wait for a thread complaining about why a single player version of Spider-Man 2 is the wrong choice. Please ignore their previous posts shitting on co-op

At least it's more informative and much more worthy than your useless post.
Good to hear there is no MP.

it is tho, because the voice actor of miles alluded to a possible coop focus

At the time this was true.
I mean they couldn’t have predicted Sony was gonna suddenly start supporting the PC platform. That was unheard of at the time

Huh...I had no idea that people were questioning if this were a single player game (given Miles would be an important part)

Hmmm, they didn't really say it didn't have coop though, they just said "it is an epic single-player adventure", it could still be a SP game at heart but have coop be possible in certain side activities like races or combat challenges.
I doubt the latter due to how the combat system works but this is far from conclusive imo. I'd be very happy if its pure SP though, coop is only great when it's the primary focus.

Ahh I see...Yea, he probably misspoke. I thought the "co-op" in this game was always a swap in/out system. Not actual 2 players

I don't think we have to worry about multiplayer in the game. But yes there will be instances where you will cooperate with other characters just like their was in the first game. You do see Miles and Peter together in the trailer so that's one example of cooperation in the game.
I just don't think there will be drop in coop or anything similar.

News at 11... Single player game will be a single player game.
Co-op would have been pretty sweet though.

I don’t think there’s any Pokémon in this game.

Good. Any amount of multiplayer inherently damages what can be done mechanically and in design, especially for this type of game.
How many more examples, most recently Gotham Knights, Avengers and no doubt Suicide Squad do we need to have before people get this through their skulls?

Bad co-op games are bad. But a good co-op game can be amazing. Don't get confused here.

Nope, I'm drawing a line. I said that having any amount of co-op limits design and mechanics. It does. It limits visuals and everything else to do with processing power as well. Things like contextual animations, mechanics that distort time are functionally compromised (of which there are and can be many in Spider-Man) and things like intricate level/narrative design, stealth encounters and resource gain are implicitly compromised.

What is it with Sony games and making characters look like they are letting rip?I don't think we have to worry about multiplayer in the game.

Pretty sure the smoke is coming from a manhole and not from his butt. They are not ripping ass in the gif.

That doesn't apply to big franchises, see Harry Potter. Spider-Man is so big they could call it 'Spider-Man - yes MAN, because fuck that woke shit' and still sell 20 million.
