Do you guys, want an online multiplayer in the game?

Hi there, let's talk about the multiplayer mode of the game?

Do you guys, think that would be cool to play a multiplayer mode using online features? (Like the Nintendo Network, Live and Play Station Network?)

Online coop? Probably not, unless they can do it masterfully. Online minigames? Hell yes.

Would it be cool? Well, obviously.

Would it be worth the investment of development time and money to implement online multiplayer (for a primarily single-player game) for not only PC, but PS4, Xbox One and Wii U? Definitely not IMO.

Sorry to be blunt but I really don't think it'd be worth it.

Not a need for me, but it's better than nothing as long if it's optional.

I think it would be best to keep the coop local, but the mulitplayer battle/minigames I believe would benefit from having online play. It would help give the game more replay value.

I keep banging at online co op. I would love to play together with the lads at DK Vine.

Definitely not.

Sure, if it doesn't delay the game. But since it will, better include it as DLC. Though if Playtonic wants it for Yooka-Laylee, and are willing to delay the game for that specific feature. I wouldn't mind.

I'm indifferent. I'm assuming that this is the kind of game where for the multiplayer you really need to be on the same couch to enjoy. Buuuut, as someone with no friends (and no couch for that matter) I could see the benefits.

Do any of the guys on the team have experience with online? I know they plan on bringing more on, so they could easily fix that, but I was just wondering.

The local and online multi. should be fun like the City Trial from Kirby Air Ride combined with the multi. from Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Okay…so your opinion is you insist the gameplay should be fun?
I think everyone else will agree with you on that one.

PC gamers have a desktop setup so local multiplayer would be too crowded. Also, not everyone has someone nearby to play with.
