Best Stealth Game of 2013

SpyParty is a spy game about human behavior, performance, perception, and deception. While most espionage games have you spend your time shooting stuff, blowing stuff up, and driving fast, SpyParty has you hide in plain sight, deceive your opponent, and detect subtle behavioral tells to achieve your objectives. Unlike the suave and confident spies you might find in films or books, most spies in spy games are more like super powered commandos--more Rambo than James Bond. By contrast, SpyParty is a new and quite different game about the more interesting and deeper aspects of being a spy.What is SpyParty

Sounds fun but I imagine it would get boring fairly quickly. And to call it the best stealth game is pretty silly since it's an incredibly simple idea that isn't as original as you're making it sound, it almost sounds like Assassins Creed's multiplayer, with more depth, and the idea of blending into crowds has been in Hitman for ages.bobbetybob

Part of what is so exciting about Spy Party is the stuff that happens around the game. Hecker has seen the game trigger strong emotional responses. I even felt it guilt of all things. Ive killed thousands millions? of enemy characters and even some friendly characters in video games with none of the pangs of consequence. I shot one innocent partygoer in Spy Party after tracking them for a few minutes, after being sure they were Chris Heckers avatar and up to no good, and then, as they lay dead on the floor I realized I was wrong. I felt bad.Stephen Totilo on Kotaku

Pure battle of wits stuff here, and seems totally fascinating. Its a couple of years away, at least in part due to a major general aesthetic upgrade, but well be watching it. Closely. Trying to work out if its a spy.Kieron Gillen on Rock Paper Shotgun

those quotes don't really say much about the game, really.

you do realize that theres a similar mechanic in what you do in Assassins creed's multiplayer. trying to be the AI

Dont get me wrong, the concept is awesome and Spy party is definitley pushing it, is awesome how games have come from instead of AI's trying to be like real players, Real players are now trying to be AI's, Spy parties gonna be awesome but thats also something that made Assassins creed's multiplayer so inventive

I find the asymmetry interesting for a bunch of different design reasons, but in the case of the Turing test aspect of the game, I think its important because it allows the two players to relax into their roles. In games based on Assassin, like The Ship, and Assassins Creed: Brotherhood, you are trying to hunt somebody and watch your back at the same time, and so the perception and deception challenges cant be that deep. In SpyParty, if youre the Sniper, you know the Spy cant get out of the party and come stab you in the back, so your entire job is just perception. Contrariwise, if youre the Spy, you know you cant pull a fast one and kill the Sniper, so you have to focus on the deception task. I think it makes for a lot deeper psychological game this waysp

yep, resorting to insults because of conflicting opinions. good luck being taken serious in this thread. also, your attitude does more damage to the game than benefit it.BrunoBRS

I agree. OP is acting extremely immature and also threw insults my way. I must say I am quite offended by his behavior.

I love stealth games but multiplayer is boring so meh. Interesting idea though.

i remember that game. reminds me of assassin's creed multiplayer.BrunoBRS

That's because Ubisoft hired the people who made the ship, took the idea for their AC multiplayer and then fired those people.

Crysis 3 DAY 1 BABY!

Lol, I don't think that's how it went down considering Ubisoft contracted them to make Bloody Good Time before shutting them down. Although if you have a link saying otherwise then lead me to it as I would find this mildly amusing. Kinda how DICE hired Trauma Studios after making the hugely successful Desert Combat mod, bringing them on to help work on Battlefield 2, and then disbanding them :lol:AcidSoldner

I don't have the link anymore but a developer said on steam forums about what hell they had trying to develop Bloody Good Time with Ubisoft.

But yeah, that's basically what happened:P

The best stealth game of 2013? The PS Vita's Collection. What's not there is great at hiding.

That actually seems like a neat game. Kinda makes me think of that game "The Ship," except with more stuff.
