News::The Future is Social (And That's Not A Bad Thing)

"Back in 2011, veteran game designer Mark Cerny made the bold prediction that the traditional single player experience will be gone in three years. At the time I scoffed. And justifiably. Although multiplayer was booming and social features were beginning to ingratiate themselves into campaigns, we were only months away from some of the best purely single player oriented games ever released Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception, Skrim, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Batman: Arkham City to name just a few. At the time, there seemed to be a bright and healthy future for games of that ilk, but we are now a year and a half on from these comments and it has become increasingly clear in that time that Cerny was right. The future is social, and thats not a bad thing." (Damien Lawardorn, OnlySP.com)
