    In my scenario, I was assuming the radio dynamic would be there as well as flashlights and the like.

    We can agree that most SH fans would be interested in playing the game online with some type of multiplayer.

    But the thing is you need to think forward a few steps; If SH was online and you gave people the chance to run around SH with atleast 3 other people (even if you started virtually miles from eachother), they're going to form groups or rival gangs. The idea of safety in numbers will prevail and at which point you enter the traps and monsters that are specific for attacking groups while a loner would find it easier to escape such threats. Balance would be the key as to what pros and cons you want the pkayer to weigh before he makes a decision.

    I understand that every SH follows a story formula and you're right, isolation (as in Horror 101) plays a key part. But as far as stories go, I can spout of hundreds of films where a group of people is out in the country/abandoned city/tropical rainforest etc and have to survive the terrors of something icky. If you applied yourself in to think about playing the game in a group of online people, all the rash, bad decisions the so-called leaders would make, the monsters that specifically attack groups or even other dynamics such as the larger your official group is, the less health drinks and ammo you find, forcing them to ration it out.

    It actually woould play exactly like SH2 or 3. you would start out alone, have to work your way through mind-fuck puzzles and find some items and weapons as you eventually find your way to the middle of the city at which point you find some notes. 'To Join Wutang Clan be here at 8 PM SH Time, you can only join if you have 10 health drinks" or notes that say 'Loner looking to form group, no requirements" as if it's a bulletin board for job listings, yunno? Then it's up to you if you want to join or not BUT if you continue forward after finding the middle of the city (the online hub) you might be a target for players who just want to steal your items by killing you and causing you to start with an empty inventory. You might in the middle of a fetch quest for a large puzzle and as you run down Crichton Blvd you find yourself face to face with a group of around 10 people who are all low on ammo and health drinks.

    Imagine that you try to run by them and you hear gunshots, you think you're about to be raped and that's when the ground opens up and reveals a creature very akin to Tremors who heard the gunshots. The group immediately takes damage, some of them killed in the process who were already at low health. Now what do you do? You can avoid this creature, but if you kill it , you can claim some of the items dropped by the dead and boost your stats by killing the Tremor-monster. The group who all ran in seperate directions is thinking the same thing. Panic, rabid insanity, split-second decisions that will determine the rest of the game and survival mix together to create a shit storm that every SH fan would love.

    It would be extremely nerve racking because anytime you put groups of people in to isolation it becomes Lord of the Flies real quick. I think if you use your imagination a little you'll agree that not only would it fit the series perfectly but it would allow for online gameplay with dozens of people.
