The scale they're talking about.. it seems like you could make the game free to everyone on the planet and you'd still struggle to find someone in the right place at the right time.if its super rare to encounter other players it seems like it would be hard to prove that there actually is functioning multiplayer. the game sounds like it needs a huge player-base, should have been a PS+ title.
Well this is interesting.This isn't correct. You don't need PS+ to play Destiny and interact with other players in the open world and public events (for instance).
You only need it for matchmaking, vs and co-op. Mingleplayer does not require PS+, but strikes, raids, crucible and the like do require it.
I could be wrong, but I don't think any interactions were available in Bloodborne (no notes, phantoms, etc) without PS+. I don't recall seeing any when I played it. I think it's on a game by game basis.How I see it working is multiplayer matchmaking will only occur if you have PS plus but all other online functionalities will work without it. Personally I feel like they haven't added any multiplayer in an enjoyable way. It might exist but it likely isn't well developed. That isn't their focus and I'm okay with that.

Yep. The way I understand it you only need PS+ for matchmaking and invite based multiplayer in pay-to-play games. Free to play games, mingleplayer, asynchronous multiplayer and couch co-op don't require it.Some saying if you don't need Plus it must not have multi player...I did just post that F2P games on PS4 don't need Plus.
So you just assume people are liars without evidence. OK.
For those of you who think it is possible to meet other people in the game:
Is it going to affect your enthusiasm for the game if it turns out that it is not possible AT ALL to meet up with others in the game in any form?
Recently they have said this? As in they already had the functionality working when they said it? Everything I have seen was way back when they were talking about things they would like to do.
They have said you can run into people in the game. And you might not even recognize them as other people because of AI that inhabits the game. Plus the fact that you don't even know what another player looks like at first glance.
What are you talking about?The outrage if this comes to transpire after 3 years of hype will be insane.
People knock the joke around Spore comparisons, citing that Hello Games haven't made promises that they are not set to deliver on but many here actually believe this to be the case now.

No, I assume that this is an extremely ambitious claim by a developer that is, what, 10 people or something like that?
How reliable is this Game Informer? Has anyone called 30 Gamestop stores to confirm?
I would love to test the limits of this game, we should make a Planet Neogaf and meet up there
Maybe I'm just a cynical old bastard, but what's stopping the devs of No Man Sky to make these incredibly lofty claims about the size of the world and how everyone is playing together even though you may not ever see anyone else, bUT actually just make the game SP? I mean, you'd never know, if you could never run across someone else, right? Have there ever been any multiplayer videos? How about just a single video where they even ran across another player?
I guess I just don't buy it...
The latter.
probably the latter. spawn somewhere totally random and not even know how to get to where your friends are
That would be very stupid, surely there's a drop-in system or whatever? I can hardly imagine trying to play multiplayer with friends with random spawn points in the theoretically sheer limitless world.

So no ps+ august title?

It's not meant to team up with people. They've been pretty open about this and referencing Journey from almost the jump. The information has been out there. It's meant to be a very isolated experience where running into other explorers is a rarity. Hence why it does not require PS+. It's a very, very limited "multiplayer" experience.
Is your avatar really from Death wish 3? Right after he tells Charles Bronson, "Bet me!" and just before he's blow through a building with the rocket launcher Bronson had hiding behind his back? That movie is exquisite.
I feel like the purposefully vague answers Sean has given over the years may come back to haunt him. :/. I just want this game to do well. And I would love the drama around it to go away but I feel like that might never happen.
Im gonna be sitting in my home in AGONY on the 9th.GAWD, I'm fiending for my limited edition to ship already.
They did mention that you could travel to a planet discovered by someone else using it's seed coordinates assuming you had a good enough hyperdrive and enough fuel.
I said Journey-ISHI don't see why it would. It barely has a multiplayer to speak of.
That's a really bad comparison. Journey was designed so that you met at least one or more people I'm each level and going through the game together enhanced the experience.
