but here is the interview, at 1:00 he says "yeah, you can play with your friends if that's what you want.

so, that's a lie, right?

Loll well I am certainly not denying that every developer lies, just saying this one did too.

I knew the idea that it being "extremely rare" and all that "0.01% chance" stuff was BS meant to hype up the game.

Also, apparently these guys are unable to even see each other, even though they are at the exact same spot of the exact same planet. GAF is going crazy about marketing lies but I am going to blame launch day server issues.

But anyways, apparently it will be easier to meet up and explore with people than originally thought. I wonder what the max amount of players you can get together is?

Weird becasue I swore they said it not possible to interact with other players. 

The creator said multiple times that you can see and interact with other players, but that it would be "very rare". Thats why i am thinking server issues, otherwise it would be outright dishonesty. Plus, having MP means more potential for fun times.

He also says that there won't be NPCs in the game.... it's 2 years old lol. Things change. But they have talked about a dedicated multiplayer mode, maybe that will be added later.

well, yeah I mean, let's not be naive. He should say "this is not a multiplayer game and you can't see other players" But he said yes, sometimes was cryptic about it, including other interviews. I don't care cause I'm not that interested, i might buy the game at a cheaper price, but many people were thinking "yeah I can do that"

If there is one thing he has made abundantly clear, then it's that. He has been obtuse about how players can interact with eachother, but he has made it crystal clear that it's not a multiplayer game.

so the developer lied about that aspect, right? because they were in the same spot and nothing.

No Man’s Sky isn’t a multiplayer game, in as much as you’ll never see another player. But the galaxy is the same between everyone and actions of “significance” will be shared. If you kill a single bird, that won’t be shared. If you make an entire species of bird extinct, then those creatures will blink out of existence for everyone.

Let's burn 'em on the stake guys.

So the OP is misleading us?  Damn I was all pumped for some steak burning.  

 

It makes sense really.  Imagine if you could all see eachother.  The game would be a clusterfuck around the centre of the universe with hundreds of thousands of players all milling around the same area.  I don't know how that would even work.  I'm glad they've done it this way.

The only "misleading" thing is either NMS's marketing with outright lies, or the launch servers. I'm hoping it is just the launch servers.



RJ_Sizzle on 09 August 2016

He never, ever should have alluded to anything in the game being multiplayer, because if people could have even remotely thought they could meet up in game they would try it. A bunch of BS in the end.

Going with the thread title, and the video I posted earlier,

"it only took hours for someone to create this little gem"

I agree. He doesn't seem the type to lie. I think it will be patched. It might be that it was simply something that was considered low priority in the development list since it's a very rare occurance.
