Multiplayer/Co-Op & Frictional Games? NO!!!

[Magic Wizard]

Hi everyone, this is my first post on the forums. I've been reading threads on this topic all over the internet, but I've never responded until now.

Firstly, people need to stop saying it "would never work" or that "Having more than one person instantly makes everything not scary", that's really not true...
Whenever people say these things, I picture the game as looking like Amnesia, except with player models from Counterstrike bunny hopping around with guns.

Honestly, all it would take to make co-op work, would be:
1. Make the character animations look realistic, not silly
2. Make a proximal in-game voice chat system where you can only hear your friend if they are nearby
3. Separate the players occasionally, and give them plenty of opportunities to get lost and lose each other, but make it so this doesn't necessarily slow down progress or gameplay too much.

I mean, come on, just because some people want to play these sorts of games with friends and share moments of sheer terror with one another isn't all that ridiculous. How is it much different from playing a horror game with a friend sitting next to you in real life?
