@dancrodriguesToday's games mainly live on multiplayer, which must be good and stable enough to encourage players to play. Without this, F1 wouldn't make any sense because everyone would get bored with it after 1 month.
I'll disagree both on a game having to have a multiplayer to engage audience and on the game getting boring if only offline is alright - could write more but that would go in the same line @ScarDuck14 and @mariohomoh wrote.
We tend to see things through our own bias but sometimes is nice to take a step back and see the broader picture. The world is too big and wide.
@dancrodriguesTo be fair most Games developers who’s games that have a online feature will push multiplayer more as that’s where they see where they can make most profit from being through live service or micro-transactions. So naturally players are told multiplayer is where it’s at.
F1 games are slightly different as there isn’t much to gain online through live service or micro transactions due to lack of content that they can add. So I’m guessing that’s the reason why there are no dedicated servers and poor online performance persists. If they went for dedicated servers it would probably cost them other the games life cycle.
Then let’s not forget the best games of the last few years have all been single player like God of War, Even Dead Space, and Fallen Order both EA games. Not to mention if it wasn’t for bugs Jedi Survivor would also be a huge hit.
@ScarDuck14You're right.
What bugs me is this "how do you don't get bored playing only offline?" It's pointless.
How one cannot get bored? I don't know, I don't wanna know, it's not my business.
I'm glad enough with everyone having fun. ❤️
(except if you're Max Verstappen. Then I'll think about it a bit longer 🤣)
Here I was thinking this is a thread discussing the Deep Dive trailer. Instead, it's a online / offline debate 😉
Can I just....I don't think it was much of a deep dive. But I only watched it once. I found Natalie Pinkham distracting....although maybe it's because I'm a football fan and I find female presenters / punditry still quite shockingly bad - and it's quota filling BS. I didn't see Danica Patrick, but then I skipped any kind of Miami coverage, watching only the qualifying live.
Although Pinkham has been at it a while, I still struggle to see what she brings to the table. And to head off the sexism....Lazenby's the biggest waste of space on Sky F1.
