Just like I like the reverse most my sp games with an mp component or coop one
Not me. I want my single player games to be just that - single player. Not every game needs a co-op or mp component.

Not all do the same way not all mp need to be allowed playable solo but here we are. I still remember the mp hate bones ppl had against uncharted and tlou including an mp and I'm glad thy didn't listen to those idiots. Some of the best mp I've ever played and ohhhh Ghost of T coop mp as well Adding an mp takes nothing away from an sp portion being spectacular unless of course those devs don't have the resources than I don't agree.Not me.

Fair enough. I don't mind if a single player game as a separate MP mode like Uncharted or TLOU but the difference is that nowadays, if there's multi-player, the publisher wants it to last forever instead of just running it's course like back then and that's it. That's why I don't like the modes being in there because if it hits, I know how the publisher is going to look at it and all they will see is money.
I rather have a pure PvP game like Concord where that's what it is and meant to be as opposed to a single player campaign but the multi-player takes off and that's all the respective development studio does for the next half decade because the publisher sees a potential cash cow.
Strongly disagree.Not me. I want my single player games to be just that - single player. Not every game needs a co-op or mp component.
In fact I feel every game should have some sort of multiplayer component.
This is why I pay for PS+.
Not having it is going backwards.
The modern Doom games for example (although good playing games) are a huge letdown as they don't include coop.
Doom is basically the 1st fps to have coop yet the newer games remove this key feature.
Can we go pls.to ps3 era design??
10-15 hours campaign with difficulty levels to clear trophies and mp component. Killzone , uncharted etc.were amazing.
Heck they could always add dlc to buy for those games, new maps, skins, weapons. Not every game needs to be 30hours, semi open world, open world etc.

Not when development costs have ballooned out of control, the market expects high technical capabilities from AAA games.
i think, in one of the thread @Satoru explained pretty well, how this all are off set +- . plus, massive Profit which most of these companies has just shows that they want even bigger profits, that some select could have jachts, planes and unlimited fuck you money.
for example, EA had massive profits years and years, non of it was invested into games, as you can see, most of their games sometimes half baked, look at Battlefield. still, even with such massive surplus, they firing people. like last year was 800, now nearly 700.
plus, did you buy Banisher? Prince of Persia?

Same. This past gen has made a strong case for me to not get the next PlayStation console. Most of what I liked in terms of first and second party came to PC soon enough. This was my first gen not owning a Xbox console, next gen may see me only owning the upcoming Nintendo console and doing the rest of my gaming on PC.

I think you mean this:
Harada: "Development costs are now 10 times more expensive than in the 90's and more than double or nearly triple the cost of Tekken 7"
"Development costs are now 10 times more expensive than in the 90's and more than double or nearly triple the cost of Tekken 7. Even the Fight Lounge servers are costly to maintain. In the past there weren't so many specs and there wasn't online. Plus they didn't have such high resolution and...

EA for example, their gross margins have increased and their profit margins have stayed roughly the same percentually (minus during the covid boom).
You can go to this page and click on ever 156 workers they have listed in LinkedIn and doble check where their Heads, Directors, Producters, Managers, Leads, Principals and maybe even Seniors did work (companies or games) previously.Lead Josh Hamrick is the guy from bungie that worked on weapons sandbox. You keep making this into something it’s not. He worked on Skyrim, Fallout 4, Reach, and both Destiny games.
He even has his resume in his X banner lol
Over time I did it I think 3 times, the last one around a month or two ago and posted a long recap here at Iconera. You'll see they're mostly from top shooters (mostly from Bungie and different CoD/ABK teams) plus other top AAA studios.
