Maybe I missed it in the recent previews, but will Duke Nukem Forever have CoOp player in the single player story for the PC ?
 
That's a good question. But who would be the second character, besides Duke?

Not sure, but the classic 1997 Duke 3D was known for it's killer CoOp. I had so much fun playing that with my Brother, would be a big disappointment if it is not in Duke 4Ever
 
I think developers over think coop too much, which is why there is lack of support. Most people, even the mainstream, would be fine with an unnamed character that tags along. I mean the original Halo was known to casual gamers for coop, and all that had was another master chief that tagged along from what I remember. You don't need a separate new character written in the story to have coop really.

I think this very thing a LOT. Just throw in some quick and dirty coop and give the network code to the community. If the game is good enough, the community will be more than happy to improve it.
 
i dont get it, some of the most fun i can remember having is playing co-op with a buddy. yet so few games actually have it.

Ditto. I believe the secondary characters in co-op were different colors of Duke.
 
I was thinking about why games lack co-op too and it's probably like limitedaccess said. They overthink co-op, they try to balance the game for both singleplayer and co-op, and in the end it's seen as extra time for something not everyone will appreciate.


Quick and dirty co-op should be a standard imo. It's great if they decide to add more meaningful co-op, but very basic co-op much better than nothing.
 
So my idea for Duke Nukem co-op is that basically one player plays Duke, then all the other players play as strippers who must remain within X yards of Duke at all times or they die. The strippers also have one ability that is activated by hitting the spacebar. It's called "Shake It Baby". Okay okay sure, maybe the stripper game play elements need a little work...but it's a start.

P.S. - I'm not serious...but I would like to see actual Duke co-op. Love it.
 
I'd like to see this too... Duke was some great coop back in the day.

Perhaps a bit OT, but doesn't eDuke32 along with the meltdown software client allow you to still do deathmatch and coop games of Duke3D with all the perks of the updated graphics?

Yeah, it irritates me how newer games are either pure single player, or just online multiplayer. Co-Op is the most fun I have gaming.

Actually, they're putting co-op in a lot of games these days.
 
Good god would I ever love co-op. A friend and I would beat Duke 64 every couple months on the hardest difficulty.

I feel Lo-Wang would be the best option for second co-op character. Who wants some Wang?
 
I love co-op too. Even if you just increase the health and attack power of the baddies, it's still more fun to tear it up with a friend.

A bit off topic again, but when you were playing Duke 64 (Coop) you ever notice how sometimes you get killed in one hit by a basic alien blaster? It never happened in single player, but I swear I'd have 100 hp and armor, and get one-shot by just the basic alien soldier. Hacks.

That said, I'd love to see Coop make a return on in the next Duke - but I don't think it will happen :(
 
I hope they put Co-op in as well. DN3D was the first game I played Co-op. My buddy and I played it for hours on end. Good times. Fond memories.
