OutRun 2 Comes Home

[Melf]

My local EB said it was delayed to the 26th. Can anyone confirm this?

[Jeremy]

That's been the date for a while, hasn't it?

[gameoverDude]

I'm with ya. Online hasn't grabbed my interest enough for me to try it yet.

I could care no less about online as well. Lag blows. All that matters for me is that the standard 1P offline mode is spot-on with no framerate jags.

[Melf]

I thought it was for the 12th.

How is the offline play? Any problems with that?

I guess I'm in the minority of gamers that doesn't care so much about online play. It's nice and all, but I still prefer single player games or having people right in the room with me.

Usually multi-player games let you do all three. Single player, multi player on one console, or multi player online. Plus sports games even let you and 3 other buddies play 4 other chumps online if you get sick of playing each other. Its only for games that require each player to have a screen each where developers usually choose between online play or split screen. Otherwise online play isnt anything to complain about at all because its just simply an option you dont have to use most of the time. Why people have to bring it up as a negative all the time, usually exactly the way you worded it, is beyond me. Of course anyone would prefer having their competition right there in the same room, but no one says you cant have both. Plus 4-player split screen is the max with one TV set anyways. YOu would need two TV sets for 8-player get togethers. Besides, most developers make complex graphic engines that would give the developer a lot of work to turn it into 4-player split screen. They could use that time to make it a bigger scale online or improve the gameplay engine etc. There really is no negative to online play. So people need to stop saying the samething like I prefer having people in the same room as me. A good possibly 90+ % of the online games out there allow you to play with/against friends in the room. You might need some more computers and a link up though.

No shit? Thanks for the pro-tip.

Hey asshole, did you even read the thread? People are complaining about the game being glitchy in online mode. Ever think that's why I asked about the offline game? Ever think that some people just don't like playing games online?

Yes there are negatives to online play. Lag, glitches, and shitty framerates. Not to mention the douchebags.

Oh, and I prefer having people in the same room as me.

Yeah then dont play the game online. Play the game with people in the same room with you. Onlineplay is RARELY a NEGATIVE(not one at all when it comes to sports games and games that still have a split screen mode) because YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PLAY THEM ONLINE usually. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY where the exact same game without online play can be > than the exact game with online play. Why? Because you can play the damn game with people in the same room as you, OR(keyword) you can play the game online. If the game needs a 4-player split screen mode for it to be possible, then the game would be shittier game overall because the developer would waste too much time implementing a good graphics engine to handle it, when they can just make one graphics engine and make it online. See, nothing to complain about. So please stop talking about it like it poisons a game or it affects your ability to play the game in the same room as your friends.

Nope. My reading comprehension skill are fine. I can tell, unlike most people, that the "I prefer to have people in the same room as me and I still do not like online play" part is simply a pot shot at online gaming and completely unecessary. Unless you somehow thought that online gaming poisons the ability for you to play with friends in the same room of course. Its easy to see actually. I've heard that same crap spouted before. People even made threads like offline > online play using the exact same quote you made. Mainly nintendo fans that are trying to cover up for Nintendo not having many online options in there multi player games mind you but still.

Dude, answer his question or shut the fuck up. Don't tell him how he should prefer to play. Jesus.
