SR4 should have an open world multiplay mode like gta4 does.

Weren't they talking about 4P co-op for a long while? Unfortunately it looks like it just didn't pan out, though. It is a lot easier to program something like this for two people and keep it in decent sync, and it probably would have been a lot more effort to cater the story missions to it. I'm kinda disappointed about it too though, I have a group of three other people I'm always gaming with.

I'm in the same boat as Sara, I game with 3 other folks so we pretty much only get games that allow 4 or more. We all bought SR3 hoping we could all play but found it was 2 person co-op only, we liked the game but hated that we couldn't do as group like L4D (L4D2) or others like that.

I was planning on buying this as soon as I heard it was in the works, but only if it could handle 4 or more players. I'll bow out on this now that I know it's 2 person only and save my money for GTAV when it comes out for the PC in 2037 or something.

I have to wonder, in this age of hi-speed internet and multi-play gaming, why in the world would a company limit their game to 2 players in multi-play, they must know most people prefer gaming with 4 or more, I mean, even Lunar Flight allows that and it was done by just one main person.

Oh Well, time to move on.

Only 2. IdolNinja said he presented the idea of more than 2 free roam with everyone using generic NPC models, but no news on it becoming a sudden feature or anything, so it's probably not.

Maybe it'll be modded in. Maybe it won't. Who's to say.

[KAAPI]

2 only?...

The developers said it isn't a possibility due to how taxing it would be on hardware resources, especially for consoles. They also said that they didn't want to spend a lot of extra time working on improving the co-op features since such a low number of players actually use it.

Actually no they said that the only reason the co-op is still in at all is because they fully believe in it.

Yes, but they also said that a very, very small percentage of players actually use it. They said that despite that being true, co-op is something that almost all of their developers believe in, and that's why they put in the extra effort to include it in the Saints Row games.

[A GOD DAMN SEXUAL TYRANNOSAURUS]

Its gonna be 2 player only, because they stilll have to stand by the current gen Consoles Terrible ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hardware, and having 2 characters with literally 100000+ costumizion possiblities does not boad well withold ass hardware, but hey, modding tools soon so now we are just gonna SRMMO.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Metal gear solid Peace walker supports 4 player co-op, and it runs on PSP.

[「Rolling Start♪」]

But Peace Walker doesn't have to contend with thousands of possible item combinations and keep hundreds of items loaded at all times so there's no lag if you switch equipment, and the spaces that Saints Row has to deal with are significantly larger.

That's why the only real feasible way to do it is, as IdolNInja suggested, giving everyone generic NPC models to play with several people, so it only has to load a single model, and not hundreds of clothing options.

thats funny. the Just Cause 2 Multiplayer mod copes just fine with hundreds of players in a server
