For someone who plays a lot of co-op shooters, you'd think that my friends and I would be pretty decent at working together as a team to complete an objective, but alas, that is simply not the case. The problem is that there's just too much leeway in most co-op shooters for players to go off and do their own thing, abandoning their friends in the process. I need restrictions if I'm to be a good, selfless teamplayer, which is where Rogue Point comes in.
I got to check out this upcoming co-op FPS roguelike at Gamescom. It's made by the same devs (Crowbar Collective) who managed to pull off the Half-Life remake Black Mesa, so my hopes were high from the start. The vision for Rogue Point is simple: make a co-op shooter that actually requires players to be cooperative—groundbreaking, I know.
