Re: Oni Multiplayer...

In Response To: Re: Oni Multiplayer... (Curious...)

: 2) Right, it would take 6 months to put in multiplayer that was there IN THE
: FIRST PLACE. I think not. Okay, even if it did run poorly, it's better
: than nothing. And even if only a part of the people buying the game had
: LANs, that part would be a lot happier with multiplay :)

See, the team was concentrating on getting the engine done, the levels done, the art done etc. etc. They probably estimated that building extra arenas, implementing extra gameplay modes would have added on more time.

I think the LAN multiplayer code was very unrefined in the builds shown at expositions, and if they would have worked on mutliplayer, I think they'd have built it up from scratch instead of using the old code.
