Did they say what the online is like in this game? If so are you able to play with others in the same universe?

Edited by Chaz_Piazza: 6/21/2014 7:59:33 AMThat's a great question. As far as I've found, player-to-player interaction hasn't been completely clarified as of yet. However, Sean Murray did say that running into other players shouldn't be something you expect. You'll see evidence of other players, but you may not get to interact with them directly. There is no friend-joining or selective spawns. The player spawns in alone, and it is up to him/her to decide where their first steps lead. If it's toward other players, fine. If it's into the vast unknown, that's fine too. When you start the game, you will be the only ship on your planet, but that doesn't mean the universe around you is lifeless.

NMS might have split screen. If multiplayer becomes a huge issue I'm sure the devs would add it.

[quote]NMS might have split screen[/quote] Now that's really a slap in the face.

What would make exploring the universe with others better than exploring it solo?
-
You would be able to combat each other and simply go on adventures with each other.

Obviously we have different opinions. I think adventures are more fun solo. You think they are better in groups.

Edited by LecomingBegend: 12/3/2014 10:17:21 PMYes. This is your adventure alone. “There are opportunities to interact with other players, but we’re not trying to make an MMO and we’re not trying to make a traditional multiplayer because it just doesn’t suit that,” Murray said. “You and I, [b]when we play, we will be light years apart and we have no control over that — where we start off.[/b] [b]We can try to fly to the same place and if we do we’ll see the same things and we can make certain drops and do interactions between each other. But we’re not all flying to one planet and then having a run around together.[/b] What I would be after is something Journey-esque. You know that you were playing with other people, but you’re not saying, “Hey! Join me in Journey for a quick game!” Update: NMS will have some form of "traditional multiplayer". That is everything we know about multiplayer. We might get more details at TGA (The Game Awards) or PSX (Playstation Experience), TGA is Friday December 5th, PSX is this weekend December 6-7th.

That's gay.

Not every game needs MP.

When you have an exploration game like is it should be a giving that you can explore these planets with people and do some types of battles with these combat ships. It's going to get boring doing all this stuff by yourself.

Not really. People can play Fallout and not get bored, people can play Elder Scrolls and not get bored. MP may be cool, but it doesn't need it.
