Prey co-op mode?

KaiserSoze · 05-22-2006, 09:27 AM

I did a search and found nothing.

There are unsubstantiated rumors floating around that PREY will ship with co-op mode. The mode is being kept "quiet" to surprise fans/players.

Any truth to this?

If not, was it at least considered?

tf0t · 05-22-2006, 09:45 AM

ive heard in more than one place that their wont be a co-op mode...

It was part of the game early on but skipped due to the complexity of making the levels compatible with multiple players. I am guessing thats where the rumor comes from.

they could borrow the way halo dealed with coop(mindless teleportation fest)..it was a cheap-shot but was very fun and appreciated.. cheap coop is better than no coop

Thanks Parkar!

There's always the mod community.

Yes we did plan to include it early on, but unfortunately it had to be cut do to technical complications.

Coop always seems to get cut from games. It's a shame. ):

hell-angel · 05-24-2006, 03:32 AM

Well, that is because it takes a lot of time to properly implement it and people will complain if it is not properly implemented.

Smoke39 · 05-24-2006, 11:27 PM

I know it's hard, which is a shame.

MeatWagon · 05-25-2006, 12:34 AM

Theres probably nothing stopping people modding it in, look at sven co-op for half life.

hell-angel · 05-25-2006, 07:12 AM

Well, modding it is allways a possibility, I am not sure how easy that will be but we shall see.

Smoke39 · 05-26-2006, 08:53 AM

Did they ever make a coop version of the HL SP for sven coop?

ZuljinRaynor · 05-26-2006, 09:52 AM

Will Multi-Prey have co-op like versus bots? (Felt like asking this since EA/DICE say bots + some guys on your team = co-op).

Well, if the developers couldn't include it due to technical difficulties, I guess it means it "won't be easy"

Cause the maps have to be modded to allow many players to play right. Take a look at the Doom 3 co-op mod, it mods the levels too.

It was not technical reasons, it was making the levels work in coop well.

Dopefish7590 · 05-26-2006, 02:33 PM

could be because it is too easy to play A level with 50+ players imagine how easy a boss would be, (I did this on duke 3d with 4 players and it still was easy)

Smoke39 · 05-29-2006, 12:08 AM

I doubt game difficulty was the problem. They could have just increased enemy strength. And they don't need to support 50+ players. Co-op can be a blast with just two players.

iirc, it was due to technical difficulties with the level design. Because that would be very difficult to keep interesting levels because players can venture apart and such. And remember that the levels should be interesting for both SP and CO-OP.
