Facebook hopes to add a layer of multiplayer gaming, much like that on Microsoft\u2019s Xbox Live and Sony\u2019s PSN platforms.<\/p>\n
Facebook is working closely with developers and publishers to bring games like\u00a0u4iA\u2019s first-person shooter \u201cOffensive Combat\u201d and Plaruim\u2019s real-time strategy game \u201cStormfall: Age of War\u201d to Facebook.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re walking away from other games, but there\u2019s no question our focus for 2013 much of it will be about becoming a better platform for core gamers and developers who make those games,\u201d said Ryan.<\/p>\n
San Francisco-based nWay began trialling its dark sci-fi game Chronoblade on Facebook in 2012, and Chief Creative Officer Dave Jones was thoroughly impressed.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst of all, what comes is, \u2018Wow, I had no idea you could actually do a game of this quality on Facebook,\u2019\u201d said Jones, who has worked on the Diablo and GTA series.<\/p>\n
Despite some scepticism from investors and partners, Jones is confident that the Facebook platform is a viable channel for hardcore games.<\/p>\n
\u201cLike \u2018Super Mario\u2019 did for Nintendo or \u2018Halo\u2019 on Microsoft, I think it just takes one title to come along, sort of as a benchmark to legitimize the whole thing,\u201d said Jones.<\/p>\n
