Only Xbox Port of Doom 3 Will Have Co-operative Play

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the taken-for-granted dept.

Ant writes "According to this interview with the Xbox developers Vicarious Visions over at GamePro, only the Xbox port of id's Doom 3 will have co-operative play, and the PC version will not have co-op, unlike the original Doom games. There are also two recent interviews with id themselves on the GamePro site." Co-op was one of the parts of Doom (and Quake) that really got me into the genre, but after I got good enough fighting alongside my friends, I found it was more fun to fight against them, since they were more challenging than anything the computer could come up with then.

    Yes, playing against people of equal skill levels is more fun. But co-op is great for allowing less experienced people a chance to learn the game. About the 10th time in a row I frag my wife, its stops being fun... especially when she starts threatening a divorce...

      1) Your analysis is based on bad assumptions so your result is way off. 2) You're a sick bastard for fucking a horse.

    Quake? Doom? Weren't those ancient games people played before Unreal Tournament came out?
