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

[Shev]

People here are going to say no, but most of them are narrow minded people who'd probably make horrible game developers themselves, wanting to stick to the same basic formula over and over again and probably change things less than nintendo did when they re-released the same mario games over and over again.

Honestly, multiplayer could be epic. Heres why

• You and your partner might be in a room together, all the sudden a monster starts banging on the door. The room is small so only one person can hide well, while the other person might get a crappy hiding spot and might come close to dying. This creates a dillema putting even more pressure on the people.
  
• Eventually the two of you might split up. Well if you're playing like you should (no communication via steam, would be like the rule with lights off and headphones) this could create some problems. You might be thinking "Did my partner die?" etc, and he might have to do a puzzle on his side so that both of you can progress.
  
• When you do eventually regroup, at first you might not even know its your partner. Hearing footsteps by him can cause your character to freak out and think he's a monster playing the theme it plays when you run into a enemy, until you get a good look at the partner, this whole thing keeps the tention on and creates confusing
  
• Basically, multiplayer can be a good tool to cause fear by using the confusion, conflicts, and lack of important info between the two partners to make the game even more scary.
