Along with last week?s news that THQ Nordic?s parent company Embracer Group had acquired 4A Games, the Metro studio teased its long held desire of developing a multiplayer component for Metro. During an investor call at the time, the developer simply hinted it wanted to craft something ?really immersive and ambitious.? Now the team has revealed a bit more about its plans and what it would take to execute them.
Responding to questions submitted by Video Games Chronicle ahead of last week?s meeting, 4A Games Executive Producer Jon Bloch spoke candidly about the resources required to invest in multiplayer. Notably, 4A recognizes that multiplayer demands just as many resources and just as much manpower as the single-player experiences it?s so used to producing. Bloch explained,
PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {'gptAds':[], 'gptStandAlone':[]};
