No multiplayer in Dark Void

"We explored it, but there are so many huge features in this game, we really wanted to focus on making the most kick-ass, single-player features possible," said Capcom US director of design, Kraig Kujawa. As designer Jose Perez told us later, it was no easy choice.
"We had multiplayer up and going, it was fun, and to be honest, we just could tell we weren't going to be able to make the multiplayer game the way we wanted and the single-player game the way we wanted, so it was a really hard decision," Perez said. "For this version, we have a million innovative things that we're doing that haven't been done before and we have to get those right in the single-player experience."
So, will single player be enough to satisfy you? Check back in later in the day for our Dark Void impressions and judge for yourself.

Expect a MP download in the future. At a cost too probably.

Considering this is the first I've ever heard of the game I'm not to broken up about the lack of multiplayer hahaha.

They are probably shooting themselves in the foot here. Who buys a shooter for the single player? Thats usually just a bonus. Announcing this is like blizzard announcing starcraft 2 will not have a level editor or multiplayer so they can focus on an immersive 1 player campaign. Its just dumb. Expect this game to flop.

"Who buys a shooter for the single player?"

Gah, I saw jetpacks and was hoping it would fille the void left by the Tribes franchise disappearing. So much for that :(

Multiplayer was the reason I wanted the game. I won't be buying it now.

I'm fine with this. Multiplayer is the lest innovative aspect of the shooter. Map, players, shoot each other. It is the single most stagnant part of the entire FPS genre.

Mike, who buys a single player shooter.... well lets look at one of 07's game of the year ..BioShock. I guess that would answer your question.

Bioshock?...good game.
System Shock (bio shock but with multiplayer)...better game.
