Quantcast 1Up Interview: Co-op Bill of Rights - Ozymandias

1Up Interview: Co-op Bill of Rights

Yep, it's one of those crazy double-post days!

Anyway, I just saw that an interview I did with 1Up around the Co-op Bill of Rights went up recently... thought some of you co-op fans might find it interesting.

I admire you, buddy :)

I hope you always carry the "co-op flag" as I do. Recently I got very disappointed with Too Human, cause they downgraded co-op to only two people and took off all the cutscenes while you are playing co-op.

That goes in the opposite direction of a basic principle you said to 1up: "co-op play should allow us to have the same single-player experience." Taking off the cutscenes  were very lame. I coulnd´t understand their decision :(

But, Ozymandias, keep up your great work. Thumbs up for you, man!

I was a bit bummed, too, but I can also understand. The step up to supporting co-op in general is quite a bit of work... I'd much rather a title keep the feature (even if they have to scale it back) than cut it entirely. There have been plenty of times where co-op is just dropped entirely. ;(

Yeah. An example of that is PROTOTYPE. They promised co-op and then, months later, they simlpy trashed it. Now they are back again and maybe with co-op once more, but only in 2009 :)

I think co-op is one of the best features in any games. Co-op play is something decisive when I am about to buy a game (my brother and a lot of friends thinkts the same way). Could you imagine if GTA manage to allow cooperative play ni the entire main campaign/ That would be a blast!!

I really don´t enjoy single-player games as I did before. For me, games is about cooperative play. It doubles, triples the fun :)

I really hope M$ bring more co-op titles to xbox 360. I am waiting for Sacred 2, Fable 2 and Sacred 2 (maybe the new Two Worlds Temptation too). But my most antecipated title was Project Offset, but it seems now belongs only to PC :(

Could you share what are your most antecipated co-op games?

Hugs!
