Online Multiplayer

I would totally buy this if you could compete with a friend on the same song at the same time. Maybe have it so you could see your friend when competing, like the road of the song will pass over top of your friend's road.

If there is a problem with getting the same song to both friends, how about have a file transfer just for the song. Once the game is over, the person that had to download the song gets the song automatically deleted from their computer.

Thats what leader boards are for.... Also licensing issues will arise too... For internet to work, the company must license out the tracks, or the open source ones. But maybe, mods will alow this through LUA scripting. Not so sure though.

I made a similar suggestion about an hour ago, although somebody explained that the whole download / transferring process wouldn't work due to licensing (and fair enough, I didn't see that as a very likely option). Nonetheless I back your idea on having a Multiplayer Versus, that would be interesting to see people compete as opposed to co-operating like with local co-op.

Beat Hazard allows this, they offer the ability to scan your computer for music tracks, and when you connect with a partner online, lets you play the songs you both own. For example, I have Album A and Album B, and my friend has Album A and Album C, since the game realises we both own Album A, we can play Album A, but not B or C. This way your friend doesn't have to download or stream your tracks through the game, they just use the files both people own on their machines, and thus no licensing issues.

The system doesn't work if the tracks are poorly tagged or two people have different versions of the same song, but if neither of those are an issue between you and you friend's music library, it works pretty well, and is a lot of fun. A similar feature in this game would be awesome.

Old thread, but this could work if 2 players had the same song and the MD5 hashes of the song matched. Would get rid of file transfers and avoids legal stuff.
