Yes, and who do you think does the marketing?
Ok.... I'm considering it.... should I get it this weekend? <

Wait for reviews, you're not losing anything by buying a game few days later.
Ok, I did a bit of digging regarding NMS multiplayer feature and it is almost exactly as ED matchmaking trough P2P. So in nutshell while you are online, you can meet others in a Dark Souls style when they near you...but Hello Games hint there's no PvP or anything meaningful besides waving maybe.

Watched a couple of vids - those sentinels look like a bit of a pain in the backside! Hope there is a way to gather resources without constantly annoying them
I had a few small ones buzzing around me whilst I was collecting, they left me alone whilst I went about my business, at one point two of them came over and scanned me with something, but then flew off.
I think you might need to be in full out destroy mode for them to get annoyed with you.
The more I read/hear, the more I think this isn't for me.
I absolutely love exploration, but am not a fan of the scavenge/craft/survival component. Which seems like it's more of a core element than I was really expecting.
If I complain on their forums enough, will they nerf the survival requirements and give us more inventory?

Actually, on the first day two players did 'meet' but couldnt see each other. Its unclear if this is due to a bug or that its really just not possible at all. Sean is being rather vague about it, suggesting that they have 'hidden multiplayer' features that are 'fun easter eggs', but cannot work 'due to the large number of players currently playing'. Makes little sense to me.
I think that Dark Souls and Journey being references, it is very likely that we are going to see another person but it is more a projection of the other person. It might not exactly be real time either, that's how it works in dark souls when you see these ghostly apparitions of other players.
Or if it is real time, it might just be a momentary experience.
Mystery is part of the fun in the game, it will be very interesting when these discoveries will be unveiled.

...these aren't the droids you're looking for.
I think it is idea behind all this. It seems many people just don't dig it's not at all classic MP they expected.
This is kind of where I find myself with Elite today. I have been playing less and less Elite lately and more of other games. With Elite I explore 90% of the time, maybe more, but Dear Lord exploration hasn’t changed since release, and it truly needs some updating and new content added. Horizons gave me hope in the beginning, with planetary landings I surely expected for there to be SOMETHING for deep space explorers to do on surfaces, but alas, other than hunt jumponium there is not. Nothing, nada, zilch. There is so much incredible potential for exploration in Elite yet they have completely ignored it so far, and there are no signs of that changing anytime soon.
This frustrates me greatly, and I find myself wanting to play Elite less and less because of it.
I find exploring great fun in Starbound, so lately I’ve been playing that instead of Elite, mixed with a bit of good old Minecraft exploration too. And I’ll most likely be buying NMS next week because it looks like exploration is a huge part of the game, and rewarding. I’m not giving up on Elite or anything, but it may be sitting untouched for a while, and unless Season 3 promises some love for exploration I just might skip it entirely, and not buy another season until they spend some development time on the aspect of the game that I like to play: exploration.
So he said that MP exists and what evidence do we have that it doesn't - 1 video? The chance of meeting other players is meant to be tiny so anyone thinking this was ever going to be significantly MP was always fooling themselves. That would be like everyone playing ED started in a random system and then you expected to meet someone lol.

Nope. There's not even that. A couple of people streaming yesterday were in the exact same system, planet, outpost and talking to the same alien, and they couldn't see each other. Not only that, not even the time of day was synchronised.
Sorry for quoting the whole text. Typing and editing on a phone is *hell* lol!
Yeah I don't know where, and how the hype started for NMS. But after last year's E3, the hype became just sky high. For absolute no apparent reason too!
Sean even said just a few days ago that people's expectations were a little dreamy and a lot of players would be left disappointed. But the insane hype wasn't built by the devs, it was built by the collective fans that hadn't even played the game.
I mean, you really must take into consideration Hello Games' history as a game studio... Same goes for FD. They'll learn. It just takes a long time. ^^

Wow this thread has got busy, a potent combination of pre-release tension, ahem, and skule holydaiz I guess.
Stumbled across this, worth a read, headline being:
"No Man's Sky is not a multiplayer game," reminds Sean Murray. It's meant to be "very very chill."

It does exist. Every player is in the same universe, and you can see thye things that other players have discovered and named. That is the full extent of multiplayer.

Im sure the ability to see someone else is there, its just that it needs to be discovered.
Unfortunatley at the moment it seems like instead of hunting for their eggs, the children will stamp their feet and scream until they are brought to them instead.
Hopefully Sean will keep tight lipped as he has been doing.
Personally, I think it will only be possible from certain locations and even then it will be something like what Devastat said.

Aaaaah well then, you've answered your own question - they're weren't in time together. If you're a second in the future to me I won't see you!
