Cool, thanks for this. These threads are a nightmare to follow so when I saw updates in the op I figured it was up to date lol

In this video from yesterday at 5:50 both players are in the exact same spot.
He is online connected to the servers. Both of them are, I was there live watching this, with both streams in multicast.
People either don't understand plain English, are wilfully ignorant or just pop in to say "well, he never said it had multiplayer" because they are the same people who said "but what do you do!?" because they can't fucking understand him because he's a cute, shy little Englishman.
A minor feature was dropped during the lengthy development of a game. Internet explodes.
I wish I was surprised.
5 quintillion planets, which if you subdivided among 10 billion players (reality is maybe a few million, so further subdivide that by a magnitude of 1000-10000), would result in what, 500 million planets per player, in a game with no way to easily find each other even if you could see each other, and we're worried about whether there's multiplayer or not?
Haha great fucking argument. Stay mad and salty as fuck over NOTHING then.
Sean and Hello Games explicitly said on many occasions : THIS IS NOT A MULTIPLAYER GAME.
Not at all. Don't be a goofball about it.
Over the course of development, I saw the guy give mixed answers in both directions. I've seen him say that it's not a multiplayer game multiple times and go back on that multiple times. I could care less about his appearance (seriously?), his messaging never gave me any clarity. Burn him at the stake for being ambiguous, but if you 100% thought multiplayer was going to be in, then I'm not the one who was being willfully ignorant.
Ya can't even find strangers, but he absolutely said you could all go to the same planet and after some time searching you can go find each other. He lied or changed plans without telling people honestly.Journey was random instanced multiplayer. That doesn't equate to meeting with friends. The guy has said a ton of contradicting shit regarding the game and usually went a bit more in-depth on how it wouldn't work.
He was a knucklehead for never giving a clear statement, but you all were fooling yourselves if at any point you thought you were going to be flying around with your mates. He talks about for like two minutes in that interview linked above.
And we can find ten over videos where he says it wasn't possible. Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but I wasn't betting my hopes and dreams on such mixed messaging.
I think he's wrong for being unclear, but I never thought it was going to be in from what I saw during development. Showing me a video after the fact doesn't change that.
I cant believe we still have to put this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE0nuW-mQ8A
I just saw they are trying again tonight, they seem to think the servers are still unstable

Then why did the developer say on multiple occasion that certain multiplayer features would be there, while they aren't? And why can't that be confirmed or denied AFTER the game has launched now.Here let me spell it out for you again then so you can play otger games you actually enjoy instead of trying to turn a game into something that its not and getting angry over it.
NO MAN SKY IS NOT A MULTIPLAYER GAME. IT WILL NEVER BE ONE.
Yeah I guess he did expect it! I mean he is obviously furious that he has been "misled" and "lied to".
If only you could see other people this game would be so much better!!
/s.
People really need to stop bitching and have fun playing the game. Its a one of a kind experience I can tell ypu that much.

Murray is the new Molyneux.
Molydeux, if you will

And he's also explicitly said you have the ability to see and meet and interact to some degree with other players if you happen to be on the same planet at the same time.
How is this so hard to understand?

Soon another day is over in the UK. Sean has gone trough another day with complete silence on this.
Haha great fucking argument. Stay mad and salty as fuck over NOTHING then.

They have been for me, both last night and this morning. The icon on the pause screen keeps flitting between off and online. It's my biggest bugbear with the game as I assume uploads to Atlas are pointless when the game isn't connecting to servers.
Depends on the context of the game. It was never billed as a big part of NMS.I don't have a horse in this race, but claiming that online multiplayer/interactivity is a minor feature is ludicrous.

You are preordering on the bases of vague implications that if it did happen that two people were able to meet up, they could see eachother?
This is why people have preordered? Who are these people? Can we get a show of hands here? Some of yall seem delusional and honstly getting a little crazy in here.
This game is a beautiful experience. I dont need anyone to stand beside me to know this.
No one would've exploded if anyone from Hello Games just came out before release and said definitively "Yeah this got cut, sorry. Shit happens. We might try to bring it back later."
Instead it's been radio silence, which is unacceptable even for a team as small as them. All it took was one tweet to prevent any of this. A simple Yes or No answer.
i don't get why folks thought they'd be meeting up and flying with their buds.
He said it could happen. But it can't because you can't see each other. Which of the two is it? The feature is there or not. If it is, then why didn't it work?Nope. He said it could happen. He never said you will see eachother.
Source?
I think you are more upset about this then about 99% of people in this thread judging by the tone.It really wouldnt. Yall would find some other shit to bitch over.
This game has been getting critisicm from people who seem to stupid to read a single english sentence, and yes these are the " what do you do though???" people.
Now they dont have the game and are on a crusade to turn thus into a forced multiplayer thing.
And we can find ten over videos where he says it wasn't possible. Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but I wasn't betting my hopes and dreams on such mixed messaging.

The moment the PC version is properly out = OOOOOPS my bad guys here is an update
It doesn't matter what you value more in a game. That's beside the point. This is about the principle of the matter. Unless there's a technical issue or the feature is on the way in a near-future patch, Sean Murray lied on Stephen Colbert's show and a bunch of other places. This is not something to debate, this is a fact.
I understand that a lot of people here are very much in love with the game and desire it to be the greatest thing ever, but this is a problem whether you go all-out with the mental gymnastics or not.
When someone asks you "Will you be able to play with your friends?" and you say "Yes", that's kind of the idea people are going to get.
Nope. He said it could happen. He never said you will see eachother.

This is a much better YouTube video to reference:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVrDaudzn64
Not only does it showcase many, many more times where Sean said definitively that there is multiplayer, but around 10 seconds in he even refers to cooperation with other players as necessary - an unequivocal statement that means multiplayer was initially touted as being far more integral to the game.
And then the video contrasts with Sean's statement on the day before release "clarifying" that this is a single player game in what is clearly a severe backtrack from his previous statements.
There is no way to spin this as not lying, try as hard as you might.
I'm not trying to be an asshole here, but are you being intentionally dense?I think you need to go back and listen carefully. He said traces of other people, meaning discoveries. Naming of animals, planets etc. All said in that short clip. He also said you cannot see other players right at the 4 min mark.
Even people in the YouTube comments can understand what Murray was saying. C'mon now
You act like he's never said the opposite multiple times.
He said on Stephen Colbert something along the lines of "The only way you will know what you look like is when someone else sees you"
No need. Explanation is right here

2:40 and 4:00
Alright, pack it up!
Edit: Video is from March
OP and title update to add the box art thing... and still nobody wishes to discuss the FACT that they removed "On-line (Optional)" from the PSN Store game description some time between July 27 and release... :/
Do I need to link it again?
The irony of a grammatical error while calling out other people's reading skills aside -- forced multiplayer? The fucking dev claimed it was possible. The "could" was based on the small likelihood that you'd actually be in the same place at the same time.It really wouldnt. Yall would find some other shit to bitch over.
This game has been getting critisicm from people who seem to stupid to read a single english sentence, and yes these are the " what do you do though???" people.
Now they dont have the game and are on a crusade to turn thus into a forced multiplayer thing.
So when a developer says "You know what you look like when someone sees you" that does not indicate someone can see you?Right, which doesnt actually mean that its possible for that to happen though.
yall made a good little forced narrative here and a fun little wich hunt. good luck
Sources are all over this thread. He said the only way to know what your character looks like is to ask another player you encounter. He has also mentioned killing other players you run into. He has said if 100 players landed on a planet, they'd eventually be able to run into each other despite the giant planet sizes. He has said you can find and play with your friends.Nope. He said it could happen. He never said you will see eachother.
