I suggest not, maybe for a serious mod but it kinda needs a mp base to build upon unless you're an extremly good modder with programming skills beyond anything lol. It would also probably be very hard due to the physics involved as stated above.. not many games have co-ordinated physics such as Cod for example if you shoot a bottle it might still be there for another player.

And besides all of that i know it would be really cool but, question is it would probably even ruin the scaryness etc..

I think the game would have a major income of money and be a great succes anyway , If they made a multiplayer options, Or made a new game that has that. Only two players though, It would ruin the fun if it was more. Or it could be optional, Me and my brother always play together,I play. He solves most things while i panic ;D . So .. If anybody would suggest this for me.

I think multiplayer would ruin the game. How should the multiplayer part looks like? You are the human and the other player is one of that infected guys? And then? Kill each other? Just for fun?

Sounds boring sorry.

Cooperative gameplay might be good for a game lke Penumbra, but for Penumbra itself I don'T think it will work, since the story and puzzles would have to be adapted in order to make this kind of gameplay interesting.

I think playing co-op would be sweet. Especally if you start in different parts of the map.

It would also be cool if one player could controll the entire map, while the other one trys to survive for like 10 minutes or something. Or mabey he has to get to a certan door to win.

No. The exact same thing as singleplayer , But just two players. Could be extremely fun. People seem to agree Smile

No, i don't like the idea, singleplayer is best for any horror games, except FEAR.

In Penumbra, I think it's a bad idea. However, if Frictional Games make another game, then the idea could work. A physics-based multiplayer game sounds great.
