This could mean one of three things.
1) The netcode is broken.
2) they were in separate lobbies/instances.
3) the feature was removed during development.
Just an update, as somebody who has been watching this stream from the beginning
both players can be found here:
http://multitwitch.tv/psytokat/thesadcactus
They have met up a few times in both the space station and on the planet - as in, they are both in the same exact spot, trying to manipulate the environment, etc - they cannot see each other, nor the changes, nor the ships
Further, it doesn't even look like the game even syncs up time, since one player is in that spot and its day time, and for the other it's night time
Conclusion so far: At this moment they have done a whole lot to try to prove that multiplayer exists now that the "it will be next to impossible to find each other" limitation is now a NON ISSUE , but so far it looks like even the illusion of "somebody being there" doesn't exist (http://i.imgur.com/NKOqmI7.png)
5:20PM : Both players are relogging in the same exact spot to see if they end up "in the same lobby" (if thats a thing). It looks like at this point one player has revealed he does not have PSN plus, however [ign reports its not required](http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/07/25/no-mans-sky-wont-require-playstation-plus-to-play-online). So that player is signing up
5:28PM : Both players now have PSN - and are relogging. It seems that one player now has a bug where its showing him disconnected from online services- so they are trying to fix that
5:35: Online activated on both games - both have relogged, time looks be synced up so they see the same planet/time of day - still no indication of them seeing each other - or seeing each other's planet destruction. We are back to square one.
[b][i][u]IMPORTANT EDIT[/u][/i][/b]:
[quote]Two players finding each other on a stream in the first day – that has blown my mind.
We added a ‘scan for other players’ in the Galactic Map to try to encourage this happening. We wanted it to happen – but the first day?
We want people to be aware they are in a shared universe. We added online features, and some Easter Eggs to create cool moments.
We hope to see those happening… but too many of you are playing right now. More than we could have predicted.
It is a testament to how amazing our network coders are that Discoveries are still working at all.

Straight from the horses mouth. Sean Murray himself.
The ability to see other players is not working because the servers are metaphorically on fire.
To be honest this doesn't surprise me because at the end of the day Hello Games is an independent Game Development Studio. All the money used in the actual making of no man's sky came out of their pockets.
In his Reddit AMA Sean Murray stated that Sony had no Financial or Creative input during the Development of No Man's Sky. That the deal between Hello Games and Sony was as follows.
In exchange for Free Marketing, Console Exclusivity, and both Financial and creative independence. Hello Games is to make No Man's Sky a PlayStation Console Exclusive, as well as Prioritize the PlayStation release.

103 RespostasAfter playing 12 hours straight, I can tell you it's a single player story mode. Honestly it's not worth $30 let alone $60. For those you haven't purchased: wait until the full game is released after a quite a few patches of if its severely discounted. It's basically a gamer pre alpha right now. I'm about half way to the center of the galaxy and it's not that awe inspiring or amusing. Boring and repetitive as hell. Also note: I keep asking myself am I really having fun? There's no customization. I have no clue what I look like nor how I got there. There little to no story let alone background. You have to read a lot. A LOT! There's no way to know how much you progressed with each faction. I honestly was expecting more especially with the technology we have nowadays. If you have an questions regards to the game, please ask.

1 ResponderEditado por Apollos: 8/15/2016 6:00:37 PMBut it doesn't have multiplayer? Ive heard it doesnt, and that it does. So what is it? Because everything else say it doesn't. Edit: its not multiplayer in the sense of "player v. Environment"

There is no multiplayer.
-
Maybe one player was disconnected from the online services and the other was connected. That'd explain why they couldn't see each other because 1 player wasn't logged in. The servers have been acting up with the amount of people on the game anyway

2 RespostasIt seems to me there in a other time line thats why they can't find it's other. So up to the next update where you may find friends......

Editado por Lordsa Jar-Jar: 8/11/2016 11:18:02 PMWell it's stated as a SP only on most retailer websites, and on steam. So I seriously doubt it was a bug/glitch.
-
5 RespostasThis is reaching, but maybe they have to get to the center first before it's unlocked. The developer did say they want people to play alone for a good while before thinking about multiplayer.

1 ResponderNMS only offers easter eggs and evidence of players existing in the world, as opposed to finding players themselves, it's not mp in the conventional manner

Hambo the RatYou made me like this! - antigo
Oh well. I didn't expect this game to be a multiplayer thing anyways. I don't know why people thought it was in the first place. Sean has said, multiple times, that there is no premade lobbies, friend joining, or anything remotely involving a dedicated multiplayer. NMS's fanbase is a joke. Why is this so important!?! Even is Sean lied about what little multiplayer he said there was, you're a fool for making your decisions based of such a small tacked-on feature. -

1 ResponderWith the amount of planets and the pitifully small player base in comparison, I wasn't expecting multiplayer to be that big a deal.
-
2 RespostasIt was never actually multiplayer. It's just supposed to upload information into the Atlas or whatever it's called. He said he might add multiplayer later on in an update depending on how well it does right now.
-
1 ResponderThe company did not lie about whether or not you would be able to come across another player. They said the chances of coming across another player were basically so small you shouldn't really expect it to happen. This is not simply based on the size of the in-game universe, but the many other factors that come into play that make "seeing" another player extremely unlikely.
-
3 RespostasThat Sean bloke said they should've been able to see each other but thanks to such traffic at launch, the servers were a bit janky. Weather this is true or not is a mystery.
