The Death of Offline Bots - Why Are they No Longer in Console Games?

Ойындар

In the PS2 era, playing games offline with bots was the norm. After all, online multiplayer was still in its infancy. While bots remained an option into the Xbox 360 and PS3 era, they faded out quickly by the Xbox One and PS4.
While offline bots remain on a number of great shooters for the PC, on the console side, the options are slim on modern consoles.
One of my favorite games to play with offline bots? Section 8 Prejudice on the Xbox 360. This Halo clone was released for only $15 back in the day and had offline bots available for true multiplayer simulation modes.

I've been making videos on this channel since 2013. A lot has changed since then, but today I make videos for the same reason someone may keep a diary.
It's to track and chronicle the things I am interested in at various points of my life. These videos are something for me to be able to look back on.
So why are you here? Because video games are fun and worth sharing! If that's a journey you want to be a part of, like the video and subscribe to the channel.

    offline bots are great, still quite a few AAA games with them, Gears of War, Call of Duty and Halo Infinite all support offline bots. Indie games too like Hypercharge and Screencheat.

    it would be sick if we got an extraction shooter on pc and console that you can play with offline bots like tarkov.

    @@nut9729 I agree, with the increase in popularity I think it's only time before we get a proper offline/single player focused game like this.

    Definitely Black Ops 2 because you get the bots for offline multiplayer as well as zombies. And it's backwards compatible with Xbox one

    1. Subscriptions are annoying and I want to be able to play a game years into the future without fears of servers going down making it obsolete 2. Wifi connectivity in my specific area and my friends has been Hell for the last 10 yrs and will likely continue for years & years to come sadly. 3. It gives us extra time to practice and get our skills up without waiting on long loading times to get into a full lobby of ALL pros or ALL noobs. Bots stay consistent with the skill level you choose. This is why I believe offline bots are a needed thing for not just modern games but, all games. No I do not believe people shouldn’t buy only offline but, I think it would benefit everyone with a choice to choose AI or online. All I want is the choice.

    Verdun and Tannenberg are both on PC and Console! It's a WW1 shooter that has offline leveling and bot play. Console has 16v16 bots while PC has 32v32 bots. They are extremely fun and you should check them out!!

    If they added an offline mode to dmz and warzone 2 and mw2 invasion amd ground war it would literally make it the best cod ever idk how this is hard to get across lets forget about sweaty 6v6…. bots were the foundation of gaming back in the 360 days i wish the cod devs would open their eyes and do that i feel like most developers are playing dumb at this point

    While it's not offline, Naraka: Bladepoint has competitive & intelligent bots and is practically the best offer in the BR genre. Escape from Tarkov is another one that has offline progression w/ bots if you're open to using mods. I've been hearing good things about the bots there.

    AI is becoming more prevalent there ought to AI driven bots/NPCs soon. I recon "AI Engines" will be more important than graphics engines in the future for game developers making it easier for them to "apply" more sophisticated AI bots to their games and can work offline.
