First video of PC FPS The Crossing, featuring online crossplayer aka counter-op
The Crossing is an upcoming PC game developed by Arkane Studios with Valve’s assistance. First-Person Shooter game fuses single- and multi-player gameplay. It takes places in a science-fiction setting with human and sub-human/alien teams competing. Civilian bystanders have been seen in urban environments in released media.
Wikipedia believe that The Crossing is a co-op game with an online twist. The “Crossplayer” (NOT Crossplay) gameplay will likely mean one or several people trying to complete the storyline, and other people joining in and replacing the AI as the enemies. This sounds an awful lot like the N64 FPS Perfect Dark, which had a counter-op mode where one player plays the missions as Joanna while the other takes over the role of an enemy and attempts to stop her.
Recently the folks at Gamevideos discussed The Crossing with “Games for Windows” PC magazine editor Shawn Elliott. Tune in here:
