That game doesnt need multiplayer.
The multiplayer will be a piece of shit.
Dead Space FPS, however....make it like FEAR, and i'll be cool.

Well, they turned Dragon Age into simplistic Gauntlet style game, might as well complete the transformation so that it's cooperatively enjoyable instead. Same with Mass Effect - if you're focusing so much on action, and the game is *based* on squad combat, letting people control the squad sounds great.
I wish they'd make games more strategic, like DA:O was, and Mass Effect had hints of.

Why would your assume it's shit? You don't even know how it works yet. The lsat game was stripped of any complexity, so instead of pausing the one time in a fight to let your team cast some synergistic set of spells, why not let your friend do it? They've obviously abandoned the complexities of their previous games.
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood showed that you can "throw in" or "tack on" a multiplayer mode successfully. That was the most fun I've had on Live all year.

A co-operative rpg might actually be a good idea. It worked with the ps2 lotr games. If you have a party of four members anyway, letting other people play the non active ones would be sweet.
Lord knows EA wont do it like that though. Because you know that integrated multiplayer isnt what people want, /sarcasm

Time to collect fanboy tears *gets jar*.
Bioware always had mulitplayer in there games Neverwinter Nights, Baulders gate in fact when it announced Dragon age would be SP only people where like WTF no MP.
But hey lets complain about games have extra length and changes in them

So they went from...good Baldur style game...to shit sequel...to using the Frostbite 2 Engine to throw in Mp
Just yeah...
EA: "Mmm...this engine...makes pertty things...LET'S USE IT FOR EVERYTHING"

Dead Space FPS could be fun as horror FPS games are at least a rental for me. Dragon Age multiplayer, eh, no thanks. Doesn't sound bad but just isn't my thing at all. Dead Space 3 co-op? No thanks at all. I want a solo experience where I'm terrified the entire time. But I get why they would do it. Money and accessibility and all that. I'll just play the game alone.
@Hystzen - Maybe people just don't care for multiplayer in games that don't need it? People liked Bioware's games more for story flavoring and deep characterization than they ever did multiplayer.
Time spent developing multiplayer is time taken away from making a bigger, better single player experience. Also seems single player games with these online pass things - included multiplayer or not - have a way of sucking content out of the single player experience.
I'll complain because its something I refuse to support. I like Bioware, but they've totally lost their way.
If they want to look in the right direction - Elder Scrolls, Deus Ex and Dark Souls might be a good start.

great, so now every franchise will be turned into "press X to win" games just because Uncharted sells well thanks to hype and bought reviews by Sony. yet another reason to quit console gaming, just awesome.
I see co-op being decent for DA, anything else not so much. The only other kind of RPGs I'd bother with playing multiplayer would be Elder Scrolls games. Co-op or PvP.
I really hope these rumours aren't true, specially the FPS one. I really liked the idea of the game being hudless. Also, zero gravity.
Ugh, I am not enjoying the direction the Dragon Age series has taken. It's sad when a developer or publisher can't see the strengths in their own game and instead try to chase trends.
Im NOT into D&D "shit" but funny HOW many peeps sayd ME 3 didnt need MP but now it looks like the BEST thing to happen to that series JUST SAYING
AlSO DeadSpace FPS with MP from DeadSpace2 would be the tits

I am currently playing through Dead Space 2 and it is pretty rock solid. I skipped on the online pass cause who plays dead Space for multiplayer? A FPS? a little predictable. I want a Dead Space 5th person racing strategy game, maybe we can ball up necromorphs Katamari style making huge meaty abominations. So many options or just work on making 3 a polished experience.
Dead Space practically already IS a FPS so that's not a big deal. I'd not want them to completely abandon the over-the-shoulder perspective but if they want to do something else for one game, that's fine by me.
The MP in Dragon Age... I dunno. I'd have to see it. There'd be ways to do it right and ways to muck it up.

And the downward spiral of crap continues...
I swear, EA must have a whole department titled the "how can we make fans hate our games" division.

Dragon Age moved from Origin, a throwback to one of the most under-represented genres in current gaming, to hack and slash - a genre that has a new title every other week.
Like Arttemis said - they might as well complete the transformation. Dragon Age at this point is a lost cause, if they're going to keep going down that strange direction - DAII simply was not as good as Mass Effect 2's changes.

Just what Dragon Age needs... MP. I hope that's not true at all, Dragon Age 2 was shitty compared to 1. 3's last focus needs to be Multiplayer in any way.
Sad, but no surprise there. EA has made it clear they intend to include online passes in all of their future releases, and you can't do that without, well, an online mode something. So what if the game doesn't need multiplayer? Just tack it on and call it a day.
Oh well, at least single player RPG fans like myself still have a few options such as Bethesda, CD Project, Atlus and Square. I guess I'd better enjoy what I can before we come to the point where every single major game out there is either a MMO or a multiplayer shooter.

Stalin Mario will eat your soul.
Also, Nintendo mostly takes flak for not changing things up enough, the opposite of chasing every "what's popular now" trend the way EA does. Get your stereotypes right.

Although multiplayer in Dragon Age could work in some way I just don't see the need for it really. Just seems like everything these days wants to have multiplayer even if its not needed or wanted. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but it just feels like they want to add extra padding to make the game last just that little bit longer.
A Dead Space fps though? Really not sure about that one. As for the mention of a Dead Space game about piloting spacecraft? No. Just no.
I'm still annoyed about co-op in Dead Space 3 though as it kind of ruins the atmosphere and the whole shit-I'm-totally-alone-with-monsters-out-to-tear-me-apart feeling that the others had.

Yeah, back when they didn't suck at making those kinds of games. Origins was spectacular, then they went and shit all over what worked with DA2...seemingly because EA said so. I refuse to believe the same people who made Origins thought DA2 was a good idea.

Ugh. EA. why you make me hate you? the reason dead space is not as successful as uncharted is... its a horror game!!! boom!!! it will never be as successful cause less people like that.
also, dont ruin dragon age pls.

Dragon Age multiplayer should consist of putting two players into the same world who then both play their own DA adventure without affecting each others game in anyway whatsoever. It would basically be like being in one of those MMO areas where everybody is killing mobs. But without any cooperative element at all. You could just see them.
Maybe.
Oh and it'd be an online pass feature with DLC that lets you change your costume online to exactly the same but lighter.

I'm OK with a Dead Space FPS so long as it's a spinoff and not a replacement for the absolutely stellar third person view of the last two games. (Seeing Isaac's health on his back is one of the highlights of the interface in my opinion.) As for co-op... eh. I'd prefer to have the main campaign remain a solo experience, but if there was an extra co-op mode thrown into the mix I wouldn't complain. (It isn't like the tacked-on MP mode in DS2 hindered in any way what was one of the best SP experiences of the year, after all.)
Also (also), parentheses.

Wouldn't co-op kind of ruin a horror game? Not that deadspace is a horror game, but still, co-op would diminish scares a lot imo.
I'm finally getting around to dead space 2 myself (yay steam sales), and I'm finding that this is probably one of my favorite "new" ips in a long time.
Like what tristy says, its practically a fps anyway, so it could end up okay. I just wonder if that means good or bad for the atmosphere of the game

"Dead Space 3, which will feature co-op (sigh)"
Oh for fucks sake! will every dev trash his IP with this turd of an idea from now on? if they at least did it right or was optional i wouldn't mind but noooo, we can't have that.
God damn the fucker that came with this forced co-op idea, seriously, damn him to hell.

JimmyX seems to have already worn out another keyboard considering the number of keys that don't work.
Anyways, EA just needs to look at skyrim to see what a singleplayer game should be like.

Oh, good, co-op.
That means I'll either get locked out of a good portion of the game or be stuck with a dirt stupid AI partner. Either way the experience is pretty much destroyed for me.
Next they'll add perks, killstreaks, weapon attachments, and set the whole thing on some desert planet.

Wait, Dead Space 3 was almost cancelled cause it "wasn't as succesful" as another game? Are you kidding me? Last time I checked, the game made a hella lot more sales than the first and was actually selling out when it was first released.
As for the co-op, I really hope they don't pull a Resi 5, the game was fun, but it was no means a survival horror game, which I actually prefer Dead Space to keep on being since it filled in that game once Resident Evil jumped the shark a while ago.
