I believe the vague statements stem from them stating that when someone finds something, previously undiscovered, their discovery is then listed next to it. That record is then logged for others to see if they happen to come across the same planet, alien, plant or whatever. I guess some took this as 'multiplayer' and I remember in a video when asked directly "Can you meet other people", he never actually answered the question, but skirted around it by saying "People will never meet as we've got 258 godzillion systems". He frankly should have come clean and stated that in the off chance of two people being in the same area at the same time, they are effectively going to be in their own little instance of the game and won't see each other, even if it is a 'shared' galaxy to a small degree.
From watching streams of it, some are really enjoying the game, others I doubt will play past the 10 hour mark. Personally I'm undecided, some things in it I like but it kind of reminds me a little of Clicker Heroes .. it's the kind of game that really goes nowhere, but you're compelled to play it to unlock the next upgrade, but then there is another upgrade and then another after that etc. I really do like the 70's retro sci-fi art style, but the whole game seems very instanced and because of that doesn't feel very big, just random pockets of planets separated by a loading screen (which looks like warp travel) whereby everything gets generated. I will see what the PC version looks like on Friday and probably pick it up when a deal lands. Maybe then extra content may have been patched into the game. |
