>Two streamers may have finally put it to rest, meeting up on a planet in the middle of the universe and realising that they couldn't see each other. Here's a picture of the scene. They met up at the same time, but the time of day on the planet is different for both players, suggesting that everyone is placed in a separate instance.
Why do they feel misled? It was literally stated the day before release that it isn't multiplayer.

Keep dreaming lad, Overwatch will be an everlasting game

Este jogo, cara.
Eu mal achava que seria tão bom quanto as minhas expectativas, muito menos que seria melhor. Estou jogando faz quatro horas, estive em apenas dois sistemas solares e aproximadamente cinco planetas/luas, e tudo isso me fez sentir absolutamente insignificante neste Universo grandioso. Eu fico sem palavras a cada coisa nova que encontro.
Acabei de me afogar tentando desesperadamente escapar de uma caverna escura subterrânea em um frio, solitário e colossal planeta, com grunhidos aterrorizantes me assustando da direção de distantes, rochosas e erodidas montanhas em contraste com o plano de fundo de um sistema solar azul-escuro. Mais cedo, eu estava maravilhado com um bando de criaturas similares a antílopes pastando no pequeno paraíso amarelo que era uma lua com céu cor-de-rosa. Criaturas rangiam de longe e acordes de piano tintilavam no fundo.
Eu aprecio muito os aspectos técnicos e os relacionados ao passar de nível, como a mineração e o comércio, mas acima de tudo, o jogo anda sendo uma experiência extremamente emocional para mim até agora. Eu mal consegui me obrigar a sair do meu primeiro sistema solar depois que adquiri a warp cell. Não importa aonde eu olhe, sempre tenho essa perplexidade, entusiasmo e frustração por saber que inevitavelmente ficarei sem conhecer tantas coisas. Eu nunca, NUNCA, me senti perdido dessa maneira. O espaço me chama, mesmo sem dizer nada. Que jogo lindo, lindo e enorme. Me deixa sem palavras.
Desfrutem, vocês todos. E obrigado, Sean e Hello Games. Eita, Luísa.

>are you uncomfortable? >Yes. KEK
Isaac Johnson
Don't they just need to get on the same instance? Surely there isn't a different instance for every single person.
Carter Perez
yearly reminder that preordering in the modern age is literally cancer.
I'll get a few hours of enjoyment out of this game when I can torrent it.
Jack Ward
Don't you idiots have any idea how games work?
It's a single-player offline-playable game with a procedurally generated universe, of course it's not fucking multiplayer.
William Reed
Oh, fuck off, he should have been transparent about that from the very beginning, not come out about it in a tweet 1 day before the game comes out.
Grayson Turner
>it's not multiplayer >but you're "playing in the same universe" call me crazy, but as i understand if two people are at the same point in space and time in the same universe, they usually see each other. that's been the case every time i've done it in my own universe

Nathaniel Nelson

Anthony Smith
no Sean Murray made the issue ambigious. watch the video interviews where he is asked if you will ever be able to see your own character. this controversy is his fault really, he should have been more clear.
Brandon Ross
>listening to devs talk about their game You should have learned this lesson by now, how many time do you need to get burned to understand this?
Isaiah Evans
I don't think this is getting through your head properly. There is no "instance" for anyone. You play the game entirely offline with the exception of data being sent to a central server when you name things. That's it.
well I am still looking forward to playing it, just was confused as to what exactly is possible in game. now I know. of course that could change in an update.
Jordan Ward
as late as a day ago, he still hinted that multiplayer wasn't impossible -- it was simply rare. people are going to read this as "if you try hard enough, that experience is there to be found"
what he really needed to say was that it's a single player game, period. "pretty much zero" = "it's possible but it won't happen" when the truth is that it's not even possible because it's not even coded. that is a blatant lie, even if the practical value is the same, and that is what he should be held accountable for. why even *imply* that there exists a multiplayer facet to the game when there isn't one? one word: marketing. he was being intentionally deceptive and he knew it
Logan Diaz
Anyone who expected it to be more than it is is a fucking moron

>Will NMS have multiplayer? >The chance of two players ever meeting in a universe this size would be super slim... >Okay but is it going to have multiplayer? Like can two players explore a planet or dogfight in space together? >Extremely low chance that two players could even find each other, if that were possible! >YES OR NO DOES IT HAVE MULTIPLAYER? >Ehhhhhhh......
Then all the dumbshits rooting for this game were like WOAH IT HAS MULTIPLAYER WE JUST GOTTA FIND EACH OTHER.
They never said it had multiplayer. They dodged the question every single time on technicalities because they are assholes trying to sucker as many people as possible. The people who believed them are gullible idiots.
They are assholes, the supporters are idiots. Both of these groups suck and only the naysayers have bragging rights now.
Dominic Torres
But he never lied! >chances are pretty much zero This means you will never meet anyone.
Logan Garcia
he is a pathological liar. at least we know his "tell" now. the laugh. the vein in the forehead. the "yeah" response. i know he didn't want to disappoint people by saying no, but he really should have fucking said NO and clarified, then spinned it positive. Sony should not have allowed him to do these interviews.
Jace Flores
No, I expected it to be shit.
Dylan Scott
...
Adrian Mitchell
Then I'm sorry you couldn't read between the line and look at the fact that they dodged the fuck out of the question and never once showed any multiplayer capabilities and though "oh yeah the dev isnt totally trying to build hype"
Adrian Long
It suggests it's possible. The chance of an uncoded feature happening isn't pretty much zero, it's zero.
Brandon Stewart
No not really. Nearly every Overwatch thread had people complaining or telling people to fuck off to /vg/.
DS3 was worse.
Asher Young
Because he couldn't be fucking clear and just say "your world is actually instanced so you cant see other players", afraid that MP seeking players would be turned off
He's a fucking nu male cuck

Every planet I've seen so far looks like shit.
Jaxson Allen
>fixed Can't fix what doesn't exist.
Kevin Hall
Multiplayer? What multiplayer?
Zachary Torres
only people that use the word literally and think that multiplayer will be patched into NMS
Joseph Phillips
No he didn't. He dodged the questions about multiplayer in ways that were obvious to many people. Tons of people were trying to point this out to everyone else but people covered their ears because it conflicted with what they wanted to believe. Now you get to pay the price.
1:32 >Do you ever get a good look at your character? >You can see other characters, and they can see you.
Life must be hard being this fucking stupid.
Jayden Lewis
Yeah its in a bad state right now but its not dead playerwise. Its always in the top 5 games on steam and sitting at 60K players right now.
Wouldn't call that dead for a 9 year old game.
Logan Wood
yes he did, and you need to stfu.
William Barnes
>this buyers remorse You can tell by the buyers' remorse this board has become full of kids. Babby's first Molyneux, lel.

They have no obligation to fix or change anything. It could happen but you're stupid to expect empty promises to be anything other than marketing at this point
Ryan Bell

that's some sort of joke or something right? because it's fucking hilarious.

I'm not embarassed. I am still right. You should move on. People need to be held accountable for publicly lying.
Isaiah Watson
Image related, what two players saw when they got to the same place.
Caleb Collins
Nobody is arguing the fact that he dodged questions, but that doesn't change the fact that he lied.
Jayden Campbell
Actually no, idiot, he has stated numerous times that you will be able to see other players, and recently has stated that the chance is "pretty much zero", implying the chance is still there, and its possible, but probably wont happen, instead of flat out saying "no you wont be able to see other players"
Stop sucking Seans dick. There is no between the lines, there is truth, and there are lies, and he lied.
Carson Gutierrez
>Will you be able to play with your friends? >Yeah Yeah, as in your friends can watch you play from beside you. >Do you ever get a good look at your character? >You can see other characters, and they can see you. characters, or entities can perceive your character. As in the creatures that spawn in planets.
He didn't lie. He was just an incredible dick about it.

Adorable. How's your Starbucks?
Eli Price
Look Im just waiting for the inevitable meltdown and SONY lawsuit
Jackson Gutierrez
The point is, maybe we don't know what Sean's referring to yet when he mentioned "multiplayer-lite" mechanics. Clearly, there is NO MULTIPLAYER, but all those saying he lied might not understand the small print.
Maybe there's an AI that runs around if two people appear in the same area. Once again, NO MULTIPLAYER as Sean has said MANY MANY TIMES, but there are bits where another player's AI CHARACTER can see you.
That's just one thing. The fact is
WE DON'T KNOW AND WE DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
We want to experience NMS ORGANICALLY, and not have
EVER SINGE LITTLE THING
get it's own article.
For a game you guys hate so much, you do seem to want to know every little detail about it.
Julian Wright
Guys false alarm, he clearly stated that there is no multiplayer the day before release. Let's get off his case.
We don't really know if it's a scam or not. We always knew there was no actual multiplayer, but being able to SEE other players isn't "multiplayer," it's just online play. I understood the basic idea that you couldn't actually do anything with other players, that was fine, no "play," but I went with the idea that you'd still be able to SEE someone moving around or jumping or whatever.
If he really just flat out lied about that over and over, FUCK him.

Ce jeu, l'homme. Je pensais que ce serait à peine à la hauteur de la hype, et encore moins dépasser. Je joue pendant quatre heures d'affilée à travers seulement deux systèmes et environ cinq planètes / lunes, et il a été absolument et tout à fait une leçon d'humilité. Mon souffle est enlevé à chaque tour. Je viens noyé en essayant désespérément de faire mon chemin d'une grotte sous-marine foncé sur un froid, solitaire, planète massive, avec grondement sinistre me faisant sursauter de loin à travers certains, des montagnes rocheuses érodées dans le contexte d'un système bleu foncé massif. Plus tôt, je suis émerveillé à un troupeau de pâturage créatures d'antilope-comme sur un petit paradis jaune de la lune avec un ciel rose. Créatures piaulaient dans la distance et tintement accords de piano joué en arrière-plan. J'apprécie beaucoup les aspects techniques et de nivellement tels que l'exploitation minière et le commerce, mais surtout, ce jeu a été une expérience extrêmement émotionnelle pour moi jusqu'à présent. Je pouvais à peine me tirer loin de mon premier système une fois que j'ai acquis la cellule de chaîne. Peu importe ce que je regarde, j'ai cet enthousiasme et cette merveille et la frustration que je suis inévitablement manque tellement. Je ne l'ai jamais, jamais senti perdu. Espace fait signe juste, muettement. Quel beau, beau, titanic jeu. Je n'ai pas de mots. Profitez de tout le monde. Et je vous remercie, Sean et Hello Games. Jeez Louise.
