Quote:I'm still pretty sure OB1 said something like that at some point.... But oh well, it doesn't really matter.
Given the two comments I found, I wouldn't exactly be surprised. I didn't find that exact comment, but I didn't look in every thread (looked in 1250-1500, but not before 1250 (August '02 sometime), and not all the threads are still fully intact. And anyway, the two I found are pretty darn close...

I meant PC FPSes. Console ones I get almost no opportunities to play multiplayer so it doesn't matter if they do or not. If I had X-Box Live that'd be different, of course (that is, if I then bought an FPS that used Live -- no certain thing!), but I don't.
Quote:Anyway, ya know Goldeneye actually had the multiplayer tossed in as, more or less, an afterthought. That is, they added it but the main thing they worked on was single player. Sure, the reason people kept going back was multi and all, I"m just talking about what Rare said about the design.
When you compare GE to PD, that's pretty clear, yes.
