Frank Gibeau of EA recently sat down to talk with Develop, and in his discussion he noted that Single Player only games are a dying breed.

And a studio’s creative call needs to be balanced against a commercial imperative, and if you look at online these days – that’s the place to be (online)....

The original SNES game was a true classic, pioneering 3D graphics on consoles, and creating a new top franchise for Nintendo. Following that came Star Fox 64, another classic that endeared itself to gamers around the world. However, after these two fantastic entries, Star Fox sort of went off on some tangents. Star Fox Adventure changed things up significantly, and Nintendo’s attempts to bring the series back to its roots in Star Fox Assault and Command were met with mixed responses....

It can be very easy for someone to draw parallels between this Styx: Master of Shadows and Assassin’s Creed, it certainly doesn’t help that they called their trailer Assassin’s Green (because you know, a green goblin assassinating people). However, there is absolutely another Ubisoft game that is more apt for comparison: Splinter Cell. Styx: Master of Shadows isn’t a game where, when you’ve made a mistake with the stealthy business, you can then fight your way out, like in Assassin’s Creed as has been made extremely clear by previous trailers....
