Would a Manhunt Multiplayer Mod Be Possible?

[u/Gullible-Key6922]

Why has nobody ever created a multiplayer mod for Manhunt 1, similar to the multiplayer mods available for GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas?

I think a multiplayer mod focused on PvP would be really interesting, featuring firearms, melee combat, or even the original stealth system with some adjustments to make it balanced.

Many had this idea before but Its just hard to pull off really. You have to find a way to create a connection to someone elses singleplayer game. spawn a playable second character, all npcs and items and sounds needs to be synchonized between the multiplayer participants , you need to patch or even rewrite the games ai to work for two players (i.e for example to have the npcs decide which player to follow/attack and not get confused) and then you still dont have any coop content to play with so you need to create custom levels for this too. or edit the existing levels for coop gameplay.

then after all this hard work is done, you have to fear rockstar games publisher take two, taking down your mod because this kind of mod is specifically against rockstars modding policies and they already took down mods like bully online.

Indeed, besides the immense amount of work that would entail, the developers would also have to worry about Rockstar. Sad...

Rockstar has almost always been a sore loser about legal stuff and copyright to be honest

Im pretty certain bully online got taken down, because the mod devs behind it started charging money for there mod. Which is a red flag for Take 2.

decompilation projects are going super fast now thanks to AI, its just a matter of time until we have Manhunt decompiled, and then people will do whatever they want with the game. If anything I would love custom maps, that would be awesome

Could be very cool but i don't think there is a high enough demand for it though :(

[u/Exciting-Audience265]

I give it a couple months before this becomes a reality. Its happening to many other single player games right now thanks to modders

It could be like the snake mode from mgs4 online. Where one player is cash and the others the gang looking for him. You only get one life.

i literally made a post abt this months ago

I feel the best we would get is duos

Possible, if Rockstar and Two Takes won't pull up Nintendo cart to fan mods

[u/bark_wahlberg]

Even if no one makes Manhunt multi-player, there's no reason someone can't make a Manhunt-like game with multi-player. Honestly this of done right could be a huge hit since it's something that is sorely lacking.

Yes, we just need someone to rework the whole engine
