>NMS Will NOT have multiplayer.

This is a deal breaker for me. Whats the point of making a game that in essence could potentially one be the best and more unique MMO and make it single player?
>>
>>332326884
What it's not multiplayer? I thought that was the entire fucking point of it. Not buying

Good, I'm sick of everyhing being le multiplayer these days.

>>332327354
I could have sworn the original idea was that everybody would be playing within the same universe/game, but since it's so massive you would probably never encounter somebody else.
Pretty sure the lead-creator or whatever Sean Murray said it's playable online in a recent interview.
>>
>>332327456
How was it their main selling point?
Their selling point was the vastness of the universe and the options a player had. They never said the game was going to be an MMO
>>
>>332326884
by turning into an MMO, you'd be making it a grindfest
everything about this game sounds interesting only to the extent that it isn't a grindfest and you don't have to worry about systemizing things and making sure you're doing everything more efficiently than other people, you can freely explore and take your time
ultimately I'm sure it will get multiplayer because that will make it sell much better, but I think it's disappointing
>inb4 dozens of anons claiming I'm worried about losing
that's exactly the attitude that drives devs to turn their games into watered-down shitfests so people can spend thousands of hours trying to get one over on each other

>Rather than people actually playing together at the same time, No Man’s Sky‘s multiplayer elements will work in a similar way to those of Dark Souls or Terraria – both of which are examples that Murray uses for comparison. The first player to discover a planet will live their legacy behind on it (when others visit it, the message “Discovered by [insert player tag here] will pop up) and there will be other ways for players to make others aware of their presence.

People will believe anything that a dev says because since the dev is speaking with authority, he can't be wrong or lying.

It's like how everytime there's a big new GUD GRAFIX video game coming out, faggots will be entirely convinced that every pre-rendered cutscene they see and sometimes pre-rendered gameplay footage that's clearly not real is 100% ingame grafix how it will be on launch and then get mad when it's not.
>>
>>332327606

The game itself cant handle more than two or three players on the same ''space'' at once.

He clearly said that seeing other players will be so rare that making it to fit more than two or three at the same time will be a waste of resources .

In his own words, it will be in essence a single player game (with a really small chance to see another player)

Uhh

Dark Souls and Terraria both have direct multiplayer, co-op and PvP.

Those are retarded fucking comparisons. What he's saying is that it's like Spore where you download other peoples creatures and they'll appear in your game, which is the only example of indirect multiplayer I can think of.

So yet another thing to compare to Spore. Notice something? You fuckers are falling for the same scam again

That does not mean in any way that it's their main selling point you fagboi. He's just describing the online play as a sort of open lobby in the sense that everybody's there, but there's no competition or objective like conventional online games.
>>
>>332327606
>since it's so massive you would probably never encounter somebody else

They've literally only said this to dodge the question and not outright say that there's no multiplayer outside of seeing other player's named planets/animals/whatever

Paying 60$ for a multiplayer game without multiplayer sure sounds great.

what the fuck. He says
>leave messages and things like that on planets.
>[Discussing Terraria’s gravestones] It sounds like a small thing, but it’s so amazing. You walk around this world and then you’ve got all of these like silly stories that people have left.
So he's saying there'll be no direct multiplayer, only messages that you can leave. The proper comparison would be miiverse notes you can leave in some Wii U games. Gotta compare it to two amazing games instead though, right?

then he goes on to talk about direct multiplayer anyways, even though he JUST established there'll be no direct multiplayer. The fuck?
>The game is equipped to handle another player or two flying past, but there’s no need to make it capable of handling thousands or even dozens of players on screen at the same time.

This shit is so confusing and full of lies. I don't know what's going on with this game but it's not good.

>>332328841
He is lying though. He's suggesting they're running the game in the exact same fashion as an MMO, which requires huge resources. The difference is that MMOs are made for the multiplayer, so they have plenty of interaction.
He's saying there'll be almost no player interaction but they're running the whole gameworld on their servers for everyone at once anyways, "just cause". That's terribly retarded and unrealistic. It's a flat-out lie or financial suicide.

>>332329626
That's out of the question too because earlier in the interview he says you WILL be able to meet with friends.
Then he says you can only leave messages.
Then he says there will be direct player interaction again.

He's just saying what he thinks is the best answer for the question asked, not what is actually true. He contradicts himself in almost every question, directly at that.

stop readin outdated info dumbass, that shits over a year old

the "multiplyer" is lobbys, the solar systems themselves are a lobby, like the game journey.
you will never know when another human player is in the same solar system as you, there's no info to let you know this. you WILL NOT even assume there's another human player until you/everyone is way close to the center of the universe where there may be tell tale signs of such people(way they fly or some other shit)
you will never know the other players name nor is there any voice chat for communication.

hell just last year sean said they were gonna have a minimap for players(like in a corner of the screen) but they were still working on it and it wasnt very pretty yet

then the early march explosion of info he said they scraped the minimap altogether.

if you want any decent info nowadays better find YT vids from early march

100% no multiplayer with other players. You will literally NEVER EVER run into another player because you aren't connected to eachother on a server. You will be playing 2 separate games, where other people can name your shit if they find it first.

Never interacting with other people.

I hate to be that guy, but what the fuck do you do in this game.
I haven't been following the development, but from the few previews I've seen, I thought this was supposed to be PRIMARILY a multiplayer game. You discover plaents no one's ever been to before. I thought that was the entire point - to have a huge randomly generated universe to dick around in and play space Columbus with friends. Since that's not possible, what the fuck will you be doing in this game? Are there any resources? There's no one to trade them with anyway. Are there any NPCs? Missions?
I'm usually against ripping on games for being walking simulators. I believe they're good to play for relaxation for example. Some times it's just the nifty looking environments that draw you in, like Firewatch. That said, this thing looks to be an over-marketed walking simulator they'll probably be charging like 50 Euros for.

and he then references journey/dark souls

there is still "multiplayer" just not in the way YOU want it.
the fact that the basic goal is to head to the center of the universe, say every single person who plays does head to the center, eventually your gonna have some solar systems with small amounts of human players...will you know they are there? no, the off chance you follow a ship and they land and get out of thier ship, congrats you met another player....but theres no way to communicate so it doesnt really matter.

People who don't get No Man's Sky shouldn't be playing it anyway. It's entirely singleplayer, and that's a good thing.

if the game had multiplayer do you think they would hide it/avoid the question/give misleading answers? No. They would be promoting it. Hell even on steam it dosen't list multiplayer.

Co-op would be okay, but a MMO-style game defeats the purpose. A great singleplayer experience beats a lot of multiplayer games.

It's a no. He's saying the game isn't really about multiplayer, so there is none.

>>332333276
It was misleading though. They were constantly giving vague answers as for multiplayer up to now.

It's a sony-funded indie game (contradiction is intentional on my part) that's getting a lot of advertising budget. The gameplay is presumably very simple, which is why they're not showing it.

Multiplayer can only improve a game like this.

How are retards acting like having no multiplayer "improves" a game, if anything its the opposite.

his NO is directed to the meet up portion
there's no way to know where in the universe you are compared to your friends(atleast there hasnt been any info to support this yet)

and the off chance you end up in the same solar system there's no way to know if you and him SYNC up (in the same lobby/solarsystem)

My guess, is that the game ended up being way more complicated than they first anticipated, and now need to do a more methodical roll out.

Start everyone off in a single player, and then hash together all their progress server side later. If the game is as expansive as they claim, no two players had high odds of bumping into each other early anyway.

Maybe doing it this way makes more sense in terms of actually implementing a game of this scale from a nuts and bolts perspective.

If they can pull it off, it will be pretty astounding.

Truth of the matter is that equipping a videogame with mutliplayer-capabilities isn't just a switch you flick on. Netcode and networking have to be built into the engine on a game-to-game basis.
While I agree that multiplayer is pretty much always an improvement, point remains that the devs don't feel that way and don't feel it's worth adding.

>>332333916
>>his NO is directed to the meet up portion
No, he was asked
>IF I was in the exact same spot as a friend, could I play with him?
To which he said no.
The game doesn't allow you to see other players or play with them. The thing with "the universe is so big so you couldn't find anyone anyways" is the justification for it. Even if you did happen to be in the same spot as someone else, you wouldn't see him is what he's saying. Direct confirmation that there's no multiplayer (as if we've needed it)

lol

no the biggest feature aside from exploring the universe is naming shit and uploading those findings to a server for every other player to also have access to.

I get what you are trying to say but its simply not true.

This game could have been an awesome multiplayer game. If you rather play singleplayer well thats your choice, but it does not make this a better game by any chance.

Hence why they do implement some lame multiplayer aspects.

Just because a game doesn't have multiplayer doesn't mean it's going to be shit. The was developed with singleplayer in mind and it's obvious Sean doesn't want to talk too much about multiplayer because it's not a priority. Simple as that.
>>
>>332335316
Actually, he said that NMS' core focus wouldn't involve meeting other players, but that he has heard the fan response and they are working on a way to please everybody that they would talk about later.

That was over a year ago. Guess they decided against it.

No it does not mean that but it is still an important feature, making the game less attractive to most potential customers.

That is a fact.

You are missing my point.

i am not talking about whoring the game, but of a missing feature that could have made the game more enjoyable.

O co-op is a minus not a plus.

It's going to be shallow as fuck, sadly.

I wish I could be as optimistic as some of you guys but this is raising so many red flags for me I'm actually expecting Molyneux to join the team at some moment before launch.

>NMS Will NOT have multiplayer.

Honestly, that's the first appealing news I've heard about the game so far.

Look at all the good having a persistent, massively multiplayer universe did for fucking Elite Dangerous.

Fuck mmos. Steam is full of garbage that would be good as a single-player game but has a forced multiplayer/PvP element. Look at any survival game/STALKER clone, it's a always a neat idea but ruined by chasing DayZ popularity.
