Hopefully this will be a trend. There are so many of these brawler type games out there that look amazing but only support local multiplayer which pretty much eliminates me from ever buying them.
Online is out, but I'd still recommend trying to only play with friends of you can find an empty server. It just isn't that fun with silent random tryhards.
And why they picked Truck as an online map I'll never know. People just go to the front or back and try and hide while everyone else quits for another server.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Online multiplayer for these games is so appreciated man.. Now if only we could get Nintendo to give us online multiplayer for Mario Party, co-op experiences like Pikmin, etc. Not that the things are related, but there are so many fun multiplayer experiences out there that lack decent online functionality.

This is a bizarre opinion. Why do you think online gaming is so popular? Because of experiences like this.
The game was featured in a humble bundle at one point. At least that's how I got it

Praying this thing comes to Xbox One. Looks like the perfect game to play with friends while drinking.
You guys realize that developers already know this right? They don't just choose not to have it for shits and giggles. It's just that for an indie developer that's actually a pretty hard thing to include. Lots of extra coding/testing involved and even bigger developers don't get online play right half the time.

Sorry to somewhat revive friend, but is there a GAF community at all that plays this game or others for fun? For the life of me most of my friends don't wanna play silly fun multiplayer games.

I agree. More games need online multiplayer!
Btw, - not a brawler, but I am stoked that LEGO Worlds (Lego Minecraft game) is also getting multiplayer! It seems limited at the moment but it also seems they will grow it!

Sorry for the bump, but I didn't want to make a new thread for the this (hilarious) PS4 version video made by PlayStation Access:

Looks like a fun game to play locally with friends (if you can overlook the graphics and the physics engine).

Thank you for this!
Been wondering where the PS4 version has been since kinda funny tried it out a long time ago.

Yes, I was watching this earlier while eating lunch and had a good laugh a few times. Looks like a lot of fun, although I rarely play games with anyone these days so the inclusion of online multiplayer would certainly be a boon as far as I'm concerned.
what? the latter is basically the game.

Yeah but in the video the engine goes haywire more than once. Also, I know they were learning the controls on the fly, but it still felt like their characters were reacting to some inputs totally on random.

Yeah. At some point, it's like the reset the game and it was worse for it. I really think this game is fun, but it infuriates me that development seems to stall beyond 'make sure it's not completely broken'.
Like what are they doing selling an unfinished games on other platforms? The game has been in development for years and it's virtually the same product at a higher price as it was when it first was available.
Early access is ethically questionable. Clearly Ark and Gang Beasts have made far and away more money on this game being unfinished for 2 or 3 years than if they just released a finished game at one point in time.
