Cheeky job listings are a good way to find out about sequels and multiplayer, apparently. Hot off the heels ofDead Space 2‘s multiplayer modebeing (allegedly) revealed, yetanother job listinghas mentioned an “online component” for what is most likely Sucker Punch’sinFAMOUS 2.
“We are evaluating focused, easy to work with, and professional candidates to implement the on-line component for our forthcoming AAA title,” states the job listing. “Building on-line components of video games is a major plus.”
Sucker Punch does not say that the game isinFAMOUS 2, but I don’t know of any other “AAA titles” on the PlayStation 3 by this studio. We already know it’s in development, given that Sony clearly wants a franchise out of it, not to mention thevoice actor Tweetingwe caught a few months back.
Still, what’s with single-player games cramming multiplayer into their sequels?BioShock,Dead Spaceand nowinFAMOUS? We really don’t need that many multiplayer games, guys. Let’s not spread players too thin!
