Många i spelbranschen försökt tona ner den trots allt odiskutabla nedgången i antalet singleplayerspel, detta medan spel med online-komponenter och framför allt Live Service-titlar ökat kraftigt. Hur det är är med den förmodade krisen, så menar Remedy (som ju själva inte alls brytt sig om multiplayer utan bara satsat på storydrivna äventyr), att singleplayer kommer studsa tillbaka under kommande år.
Det är i en intervju hos Games Industry som Tero Virtala från studion säger:
"The race is on for the Netflix of games. We don't know how it's going to happen, when it's going to happen, if it's going to be subscription services... But the fact is that for the next two to three years, the big boys are going to invest heavily in this.
And every single person knows that, in the games industry, to sell a new platform you're going to need unique and exclusive content. With these new platforms and new distribution opportunities, there is a wider reach for our games, and also wider partnership opportunities.
When we were discussing with publishers three years ago, many of them were quite doubtful about what would be the [AAA blockbuster] single-player game's future. Now, with the success of many of Sony's games, the success that Ubisoft has shown, we are seeing that single-player games are stronger now than they have ever been."
Remedy arbetar för tillfället själva på Control som släpps den 27 augusti, även det ett storydrivet singleplayeräventyr. Tror du att Remedy kommer få rätt här?
