I don't have the money now
You would have had a clean $30 if...!
Game would have been so much fun with multiplayer. There needs to be a SEGA game will good multiplayer action. I swear ;(
It is really hard for that to work out. Look at teams like Naughty Dog and Bungie, their release schedules severely slow down just because they have to spend so much time upkeeping the multiplayer and general community while keeping everything fair.
I think multiplayer stuff based around Streets of Rage or Jet Set Radio would work out really good with how those games are designed with gangs in mind, but eh I just want Phantasy Star Online 2. Hopefully it is not garbage!
But the amount of fun I've had with Vanquish. I kind of agree.
If there is ever a sequal I hope they do include multiplayer... As for how they handle the slow-mo. I dunno, make it an item or cut it out completely for MP.
The slow motion stuff is pretty much what makes the game, you would need to re-imagine many of the elements in here for it to work in a multiplayer scenario and even then I just think we all rather have a co-op Bayonetta 2 instead.
For Vanquish, I think a good way to get the slow motion to work in a multiplayer game is if only like one player was allowed to use it for a set time, then it was given to someone else, or if a bubble appeared around your character that slowed down everything inside it, but not outside. Not sure if that kind of thing would work on the engine though.
They could make some minigames as well.
You go slidin on your knees down a slope, jump high in the air, shoot some ducks in slow-mo, try to fall directly into a mech, and run to the finish line where some hot chick awaits you with your new transforming car.
Now that would be pretty cool. I am kind of tired of "Challenge Missions" in games nowadays, and that sounds like a great distraction.
