People keep saying they've been vague and dodgy but they've been quite upfront about multiplayer. No you cannot meet your friends. No you won't be Chewy and Han flying along completing the journey to the center together in less than 12 parsecs. Yes you can see other players. Don't ever expect to. Treat it as singleplayer. Don't get your hopes up. It will most likely not happen. If you ever do run into another player you will probably not even know unless they fly erratically or something. If you and your friend do manage to be at the exact same location in the universe no there is no guarantee that you'll exist in the same instance. Abandon hope all ye who play.

Can you trade? Communicate? Drop objects for other people to pick up? Shoot? Kill? Take hostage? Track?

This is also the first time I've heard anyone saying anything about instancing.

I don't know. They've been very vague and dodgy.

 

[-Horizon-]

Cool.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Huh.


Why?

Because it is not as interactive as an MMO, or competative online game. And if by chance you ever see another person, the interactivity is probably extremely limited.

Games like Destiny (has elements), and others with leaderboard styled interaction does not require plus either.

Im gonna be sitting in my home in AGONY on the 9th.

And then a knock on the door, followed with sweet release

Yup, it's going to be quite the day.

The developer wanted way too much to say as little about the game as possible... to the point that it has created a lot of confusion and mis-conception. If people are expecting a multiplayer experience of any form, other than uploading/downloading names of things from a server, they are in for a harsh surprise.

Journey PS4 - "Online Play (Optional)"

Dark Souls 3 PS4 - "1 Player / Network Players 2-6"

Bloodborne - "Online Play (Optional)"

No Man's Sky - "1 Player"

THIS GAME HAS NO MULTIPLAYER. PERIOD.

Ooh, all caps. I'm convinced.
Oh yeah and you didn't paste the whole thing:

Online Play (Optional)

You left out the part where it says "Online Play (Optional)

Why are you intentionally ignoring the fact that it says "Online Play(Optional)" for NMS as well?

Amazing... could not be bothered to read past the first point.

Look again...

 

[Ninja Scooter]

My box says "Online Play (Optional)"

 

[Z3M0G]

My box says "Online Play (Optional)"

The line on PSN was removed some time between July 25 and now... that box was likely printed long before...
