I think a lot of game development companies have lost sight of the charm of basically zero-hardware config multiplayer. By that I mean, one computer (or console), one screen, multiple controllers, and no user names/sign ins. GoldenEye was great for that, you could just jump in. Having multiple monitors just seems like overhead. Some of the fun was the fact that you could target a player and be a total jerk, and you quickly find out who the "honorable" players are. To me, it's part of the game. Honestly, I wish there were more modern games like this. I'd gladly sacrifice shiny graphics and 4k to have a local couch coop game with some friends.
