Is 4 player coop online not available at all, or just the create mode? Or are those two the same.

And do the main missions have online coop or will that also be patched later on?

 

They were talking solely about the create mode. My assumption is that you can still play online through any level you choose with friends, you just can't make a level together online. You'll have to meet them in person to do that until the patch.

@Vlad

I don't disagree with your ideas about this being in general a bad practice.  I do however disagree with your assesment of how pivotal this feature is.  It is just a minor part of the game that most probably wouldn't use due to the difficulty of making a level with people that you can't directly talk with.  They could've cut it out entirely and I wouldn't bat an eye, but that's not the case, so I definitely see the feature's delay as a minor issue.

 

I thought this game had voice chat(and the sackboys are supposed to try to lipsync), if not then fuck the patch(what good is creating co-op if you can't communicate) and this game.  This thread is making me very worried.

It has voice-chat with sackboy lipsyncing.
