Single Player - What do you want?
04/17/10 at 14:09:02
 
I'v checked back through all the posts on here and I can't find one that directly wants to talk about SP only.

So what do you want to see in the new game?
I only mean how should the single player be structured?
Forget DM or Endurance or any of that stuff.

Just the core single player mode.

Should it stay EXACTLY as it's been?
8 or so levels with 6 or so cars in each to fight followed by 2 or 3 boss battles then an ending movie?

Mission objectives?
As shallow as old V8 stuff (blow up/protect building etc)?
or detailed missions more like an FPS?

Or even have some kind of action/adventure mode like Harbor City was suppossed to have?

What do you think??

Just straight up old school TM SP structure. No need to fix what ain't broken. Not that I'm ever opposed to anything new being introduced in any game as long as it isn't on foot action as Sweet Tooth bullshit. I wouldn't mind something like that being separate but not as the main SP experience in the next TM.

And having missions or objectives within the levels themselves is a crappy idea. I never liked it in V8. If its still just a contest about winning and getting your prize then there should be no other objective other than to kill everything and everyone else.

I just want a beginning cinematic telling the characters story, around 8 levels, a couple bosses, maybe another cinema or two mixed in, and then the end cinematic. And also co-op.

I somehow think they will do something different but I don't know. Its rare that a new version of a game comes out and there aren't some changes, but TM has always stayed pretty much the same as far as the single player structure and has been fine because of it. I don't know if this is how the series will continue to be but most of the additions and upgrades seem to mostly happen in the online/MP side of things which is where I'd rather them put most of their efforts anyways.

For the single player mode: Keep the core modes in:  Story, Deathmatch/Challenge, and Endurance. The latter two  can be used as a training method for local and online multiplayer battles.

As for the Harbor City on-foot, it should be a seperate mode, probaly set before the game's Story Mode.  There, it can have missions where Swet Tooth can get money upon succesfully fuilfilling them, and can use money to upgrade his ice cream truck's stats (the upgraded stats should only be in this mode), and an extras shop to use said money to unlock hidden vehicles and concept art and promo videos.

how about two single player modes, the original car combat mode, and the on foot mode with four levels.

single player should be pretty much the same as always but i think the order of the boards should be dependent on the character you pick , and they should provide some incentive to beat single player with all characters such as gameplay relavent unlockables

EDIT: and there should tons of boards (each character going through about 8) so youd have to beat it with several characters just to see em all to keep single player from becoming redundant

Unlocks are fine but just seeing all the endings and getting the inevitable trophies will probably be enough incentive to play through with each character for me.

gotta agree here. I've always loved the ending movies, and to see how each character panned out. altho I do like the idea of each character taking a different route thru the stages to get to the end.. kinda gives each character more of a personal interest

yeah i like the idea of character specific levels- one of grimms levels could be a cemetary or something.

tbh I'd love to just see the old style that we're so used of but when jaffe talks about trying to broaden the appeal I get the impression we're in for something very different.

I love the formula.

Just the same formula. It's a classic, it'll work. I love the ending movies and storylines.

As for the on-foot thingy: it's ok with me as long as it's just an extra where you'll get a bit more info, fan art or something like that. I'd hate to fight Minion on-foot after destroyin' his car.

He's just confirmed that the game they're making is NOT Harbor City.

So that probably scraps the idea of foot missions or wandering around.

in one of his tweets he replied that the game they were making is not HC and is very different from it.
