7 Needlessly Ambitious Multiplayer Modes That Nobody Asked For

[@rmgb-tv]

Outsidexbox lore: Mike like car, Jane like space, Andy like pirate, Ellen like cat, Luke like Triceratops

[@cozy_kelpie]

Also Mike chaotic, Jane evil, Andy cheater, Ellen sneaky, Luke tall

[@davidhelmer9124]

Also Mikes wants to be a professional race car driver, Jane wants to romance a vampire, and Andy “want to do is to create the perfect genetic soldier! Not for power, not for evil, but for good. Carlos Blanka will be the first of many - they shall march out of my laboratory and sweep away every adversary, every creed, every nation, until the very planet is in the loving grip of the Pax Andynica. And then peace will reign, and the world, and all humanity, shall bow to me in humble gratitude…”

[@TheRawrnstuff]

But... But... There is actual, legit lore behind OutsideXbox. Sure, it has been somewhat scarce lately, but we already know Jane has a secret lab of some kind under the studio, for example. It has been referred to at least in two separate videos.

The fact that the Assassin's Creed and Bioshock 2 multiplayer modes have an impact on the storyline of the games themselves is what I always found most impressive to be honest. They're both great, and deserved far more love than they got.

[@johannord4778]

I think they should be kept seperate.

[@stuartmorley6894]

Controversial take I know but I think Bioshock 2 is the best game in the series. The whole change in the way fights work is far more tactical as you set things up for the takedown. The multiplayer was a bonus given they gave it some actual thought. Every game at the time had multiplayer rammed in because it was the latest trend but few bothered to make it actually work and be fun.

[@shadooper]

Mass Effect 3's multiplayer is my go-to pick for tacked-on multiplayer modes that turned out surprisingly awesome. The mode was your basic horde-mode shooter affair with objectives between waves of foes then an extract, but the mode got a ton of support post-launch. Loads of new characters, including fan favorites like Krogan and Volus, new weapons, entire new enemy factions, and maps. Especially fun on PC where you could break up the omni-key (one button was for sprint, cover and pick up and on PC you could reassign those using an edit), I'll forever remember my favorite, the N7 Paladin, the one man explosion machine.

[@lordfrostwind3151]

No joke man, I had so much fun with that, especially when they released the N7 characters. My only regret was never getting that walking battle tank N7 Soldier or either of the Cerberus characters

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass on the DS had an excellent asymmetric multilayer, where one side was Link scurrying about through a Pacman style maze retrieving mcguffins and taking shelter in the safe zones his enemies couldn't enter. The other player controlled several invincible guard golems, and sent them about the map by drawing paths for them to patrol. They couldn't cross the safe zones, and Link wasn't shown on that player's map until Link picked up a mcguffin, leading to a dash for Link back to safety as the other player vectored their guards in to intercept. It could be played on yours and another nearby DS while only requiring one copy of the game.

[@MichaelWarman]

(also Phantom Hourglass was the best Zelda game generally)

[@sambarnes6265]

My favourite OxBox Deep Dive lore is an ancient reddit post from someone claiming they think Mike and Andy are both married, but due to unclear wording, accidentally implying Mike and Andy are married to each other. I fully recommend watching videos with the head canon that they're a bickering married couple. 10/10 no notes.

[@consolescrub4031]

Please, at this point they're all married to each other as the only way to prevent further vying for Producer Jon's love. It really comes out in the Mario Party streams.

All while the enemies in the world are just trying to do their thing. It’s fantastic.

[@BlueGriffin20]

Two games come to mind for multiplayer twists: Command & Conquer: Renegade (Which still has a fan base with Renegade X.) Your typical first/third person shooter got a whole lot more interesting as each base let you buy unit upgrades/vehicles. These units how ever were dependent on having the buildings to make them and having your ire harvester alive to being in currency. The other was Geist. It had 3 modes, a death match where you could possess different characters to fight and switch when they were on low health along with super units to find on the map. A “king of the hill” mode where you tried to possess the target the longest. And a ghost hunter vs ghost mode. All none that needed to be added to the game, but added another scoop of fun to it.

On companion apps - I did use the Black Flag one. It was basically the minigame where you sent ships you'd captured off to do stuff to make money. It was kind of useful to be able to keep that going while you weren't actively playing the game. I think it also had a map in it as well so you could refer to that while playing the main game.

[@MADEWITHROBOTS]

Man, so good seeing Future Cop: LAPD on here! I remember somehow randomly playing that one time with my brother, and after playing a little coop we discovered the precinct mode. We played it so much that we rented the game a few times just for that. And can't leave a comment without stating how much I LOVED AC Brotherhood multiplayer mode and Splinter Cell's Spies VS Mercs mode. Both were amazing and played the heck out of them. The later AC multiplayers brought some fun stuff, but I missed the truly hardcore mode in Brotherhood. (The whispers in later ones made it a little too easy to catch someone sneaking up on you.)

I ADORED the Bioshock 2 multiplayer. It may have been the first multiplayer game I played that not only had story ties to the actual lore of the main games, but lore inside the mode itself. I found that utterly fascinating. Also, it was just a really fun time. Mixing and matching the loadouts gave lots of variety, and it was a pretty darn balanced game. I played that thing like it was my CAREER. I was even in the top 50 leaderboard for some time on 360.

[@ReverendTed]

Another that comes to mind, though perhaps not particularly ambitious, was the multiplayer mode from Spec Ops: The Line. The game absolutely did NOT need a multiplayer mode, and its inclusion almost runs counter to the game's message.

[@SunburstSenshi]

A multiplayer mode I remember playing a lot of back in the day was Kid Icarus Uprising. It had two teams of faceless, nameless angel soldiers fighting each other in PVP until someone got enough kills to become Pit, for the light team, or Dark Pit, for the dark team. It was honestly a really fun mode! And the daybreak item from Smash Ultimate is from that mode too!

[@CrazyCon500Games]

OK, so I have a game mode that while is not ambitious, it was so fun that it made me and my friends laugh and play for hours... It was XIII's The Hunt mode. To explain quickly, you and other people were put into a multiplayer map where you were given a hunting gun and nothing more, you could shoot each other with it, but the main focus was you had to hunt down this high-pitched singing Ghost that darted around the map and would kill you instantly if you got touched by it... The more you shot at it, the smaller it would become, but the more faster it got. Me and my mates would play this for HOURS on PS2. We laughed every time we ran past a hallway and heard it's helium sounding voice, or when it would appear out of nowhere and instant kill one of us... God I had such a great time with it. Also a special mention, IMO has to go to Condemned: Criminal Origin's Cops vs Criminals mode, so scary in those pitch black maps being chased down by melee welding crazy people.

So many people would be crying in the lobby because they got 15 kills in one game and only got 1000ish points, but someone with 3 kills got like 5K. They didn't realize if you run around like mad speed killing everyone you got barely anything. Taking your time and setting up a kill was amazingly fun and rewarding when you dominated a match with barely any kills because you did it with style. My favorite was poisoning someone when you walk past and them just about to kill their target and dropping dead.. you see the guy that almost got tapped freeze like, "Wtf happened" then you'd get them as a target hopefully and half the job of finding them was done.

Thanks for the confirmation that I wasn't the only person in the entire world who played Future Cop LAPD. I loved that game, especially the multiplayer.

Hell yeah :D I still have my copy of Future Cop LAPD :D

I always resent these admittedly really cool and creative multiplayer modes because the game would force you to play them for trophies, and now quite a few Platinum trophies are lost to time because the servers went down

[@Lawrence_Talbot]

Singularity should be on this list. On top of having a real cool story and time manipulation gameplay, the multiplayer was unique in that it was monsters vs humans where each monster had its own unique abilities and controls.

[@AdamAddictL]

Oh good someone ELSE also remembers the masterpiece that was Singularity! 😁😎👍

​@AdamAddictL there are dozens of us!

[@AdamAddictL]

@@PhoenicopterusR I feel,like if the game was really underrated and went under a lot of peoples’ radars!

[@SilverSpectre266]

The Assassins Creed one was what I immediately thought of when I read the title. As someone who doesnt normally play multiplayer games, I loved that mode. There have been quite a few games that have tried to replicate it in various ways, but none have succeeded in exactly how fun that was to both evade pursuers with chase breakers and abilities, or to hunt down your targets from the rooftops. Its maddening that of all the things, that is what Ubi decided to drop and never return to. I also admit I didnt like the concept of Origins multiplayer at first, but after a while I eventually gave it a shot and liked it, but it felt like you were playing as paper. It was just way too easy to shoot down your targets.

i like the idea of calling pac man the first survival horror and thanks to this video i will now refer to it as such

[@kieranhedges4817]

Probably the wrong list to mention this, but anyone remember Small Soldiers? A game based on the really, really bizarre Toy Story meets Gremlins kind of movie. Honestly the movie was so dark for a kids film and extremely far fetched (Military grade micro-processors being installed in childrens toys 😅 - really??) but the game held up surprisingly well. It was a pretty throw away single player experience but multiplayer was where it shined greatly. Lots of modifications/types of projectiles you fire, summonable buddies to assist you with hunting down your opponent and then of course mountable turrets that...to be honest if you just mount and camp at the turrets you've pretty much won the multiplayer experience lol 😁but you're probably down by 1 friend as well.

[@Gatorade69]

I remember liking the demo for it and seeing posters for the movie, never saw the movie or played the full game though. Funny how you say it's like Toy Story meets Gremlins as it was directed by Joe Dante that directed Gremlins.

[@kieranhedges4817]

@@Gatorade69 Oh I had no idea hahaha, well I guess I was spot on then 😄. Thanks for that. Movie is crazy, really don't think it would hold up in todays world but if you want to see something weird and twisted then I guess go for it. Wouldn't recommend though.

[@drgonzo123]

This is why I don’t understand why Naughty Dog didn’t just release their TLOU Factions 2 game as a standard multiplayer game. We all use to love and play multiplayer games, before the idea of live service ever existed. Why couldn’t they just sell what they made, without constantly pushing updates? I knew plenty of people who were into the idea of another Factions game. Why do they all need to be live service these days?

[@Gatorade69]

Agreed. Any and all work is also now wasted. I really liked Factions and was hoping Factions also came to the second game.

[@Arauto_Kagnos]

The best part about the old Assassin's Creed games' multiplayer was the fact they had some story to them. In Revelations you climb the ranks of the Templar Order and in IIII you're an spy for the Assassins' Order within Abstergo. Sad to see the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer wasn't mentioned though, while its progression system was very bad due to its focus on P2W lootbox progression the actual mechanics of multiplayer were great. The combat was good, the maps were fun and there was a great selection of characters to play as from aliens like the Volus to Alliance soldiers. I played a lot of it back in the day and I wish they had ported the multiplayer into Mass Effect:Legendary Edition, albeit with a new progression system.

[@akuokami1677]

These were all good, like I'll give the exception of brotherhood but that was probably more to do with the 360

[@EatWave]

Conker's Bad Fur Day's multiplayer modes were five full-on parallel campaigns taking place at various points in the main plot starring their own casts of characters and focusing on a different form of gameplay.

[@GeneralNickles]

I would say the survival mode from Modern Warfare 3, and it's DLC spinoff "chaos mode", were a more noteworthy addition to CoD multiplayer. It's basically the same concept as zombies, but with human enemies that shoot back. You can't just skirt them around in a big circle for ages while the other 3 players work on unlocking an overpowered magic bow. They have guns, and are fond of using them. If the maps had stories, Easter eggs, and progression like zombies did, then it would've been the much more popular mode.

[@lordfrostwind3151]

I felt the same way about Extinction in Ghosts, honestly I liked that way better than any of the zombies modes.

[@thepiedpiper3034]

That’s always how it goes. You get all energized, take on too much, fail, and never do anything ever again.

[@MrReuin]

Ac Brotherhood multiplayer was the first ever xbox live game i ever played! Absolutely loved it. Used to play manhunt a lot as a kid and this felt like that! Took it so seriously!
