I wish more games would go back to doing it so I could actually play a game with a friend that comes over to visit.
I hear this. I really miss offline multiplayer. I disagree that it died with the N64, because it was still fairly strong on the PS2 (
TimeSplitters ftw), but since then as a concept it seems to have been largely abandoned.
I got my hopes up when
Resistance 2 came out on the PS3 - that had offline multiplayer, offline co-op, online multiplayer, online co-op and even the ability for two players to play co-op on the same console
with other people online, both using their own accounts to track progress. From a technical standpoint, it was without doubt the most complete multiplayer setup I've ever come across. Sadly since that superb example of the craft, the entire idea seems to have died a death.
