Project Offset FPS Amazes

Spaceman40 wrote to mention a post up on Joystiq about a beautiful next-gen FPS called Project Offset. From the article: "Doom 3 engine? Was nice knowing you. UT? Old news. Source? Over there. We'll call you if we need you. You can all stand back, though. There's a new king on the way to town. Project Offset is a new first person shooter, and the developer is showing off what their new graphics engine can do. The movies are not pre-rendered. The developer says they're all real time...The demo looks amazing! Videos are available at the official site.'"

Re:Single Player? Rant.

Damnit, you got me. I made the mistake of assuming. I rarely remember to include the sim and tycoon games when I think of popular games. Maybe I should have specified "good" single player games (that is of course relative to the player, I am simply being facetious).

That being said, it is not hard to see that the industry as a whole is moving to multiplayer style games, and has been for a while. In a lot of games these days the SP component serves only as a pale imitation of the Multiplayer game. This can be seen as far back as Quake 3.

I think, on the PC front anyhow, things are going to start sucking harder for single player fans before they start getting better.
