Is the co-op online just remote play?

[Basil]

I never realy liked remote play, it always came out blurry for the other person.

No, you can also use the friends pass.

How is the friends pass? Are they playing the game as well or does it still involve streaming your screen to theirs?

So basically the Demo (friend's pass) let's them play the first chapter for free. However if someone who owns the full game invites them to it then they're able to access the full game as if they owned it as long as they're playing with that person. No streaming or anything, just a normal online connection like any other game.

From what I heard the friend who owns the game still streams the game to his buddy. Can someone who played confirm this? Because if it's true that's a major deal breaker.

I need answers to this too. Someone please give a definite answer.

It works just like any other multiplayer game. No streaming.

Friends pass works like any regular multiplayer game. The owner of the game hosts it and the friend with the pass simply joins. There's no streaming involved since your friend still has to install the entire game with the pass.

Very misleading if he's wrong since this is on top of other reviews.

He's an r-word. The friend's pass is literally what he wants it to be. It's a purposeful misinformation, he likely knows because he didn't enable comments so nobody can actually tell the truth. Report that review for misinformation.

He's definitely wrong, so no idea how this horrible review is so high up.

This game gives you multiple options to play together, all of them require one user to own the game though.
1. Local couch coop: should be self explanatory
2. Remote play together: Pretty much local couch coop, except that the game owner streams his game to a friend who then joins in.
3. Friends Pass: Both players install the game and play it on their own system. The game owner hosts an online game and the friends pass user then joins that game. It's a simple peer-to-peer connection. No Streaming involved.

Thanks for clearing all doubts. That review really mislead me and had me confused.

Sooner that review gets taken down the better, nearly turned me off from even bothering with the game

Report that review and say it's misinformation because it misrepresents FRIEND PASS, which does exactly what the review demands from the game and already exists.
