Title: The Crossing - First "Crossplayer" FPS ever!
Post by: mr.Curmudgeon on September 23, 2007, 11:33:47 am

Someone is finally pulling the trigger on a concept long talked about in FSP gaming. Fusing Single-player and Multiplayer gaming into one seamless experience.
(ie: at any point those dastardly NPC's could be a real human, online)

Quote

"The Crossing attempts to fuse single player and multiplayer gaming, allowing external players to take the place of enemies in the single player campaign. To the players in multiplayer mode, they may be trying to avoid a more powerful character or must assassinate him (the single player). The game also includes a team-based multiplayer mode called skirmish, which too, is incorporated into the single player campaign, where the main player might try to avoid the skirmish."

Perfect Dark on the N64 had a mode like this, but of course it wasn't online.
