Not Just Clashing With The Titans

After reading the press release, below, I am now completely certain that this game is going to be total and utter shit. They turned an epic story of a SINGLE hero into a fucking multiplayer experience. A story of one man's journey to save loved ones as well as quell a war between gods and man. At least that is a simplified view of the original. The new one is just a story of Perseus trying to save his family from Hades, played by Ralph Fiennes of Voldemort fame.

How the hell can you make this a multiplayer game? Besides trying to placate to the general conditioning that games HAVE TO HAVE multiplayer to be worth anything. It's like making a Resident Evil film literally based off the first game. An hour and a half of silence, with about half an hour of talking. It's just too much of a stretch to make it work as a multiplayer style game. Granted it does have a solo play mode, but it makes no sense to force multiplayer in a game based on a solo "played" film.

I guess they could go the Young Hercules route. Randomly add characters just to give "air" time to actors that would normal get any. Just video game characters in this aspect though.
