Local Co-op

[Znp]

Please don't limit the game to local co-op. The majority of players who enjoy these kind of games do not play them with irl friends. You can make so many more players enjoy your game by making it online co-op.

The game looks great but if it's not online co-op, A lot of people including me will not bother with it.

"the majority"
Give me statistics because almost all people I know that likes coop games plays them couch coop.....

Turns out all of you are wrong. As of course my point of view is the only valid one. Most people do love to play co-op games with their friends, but with modern societies focus on mobility people will move around the country and the world and end up being far away from each other in their sparse spare time.

So while they play with their IRL friends, often those will be far away when you all have time to play a bit of co-op. Online co-op is therefore a must even for the people who prefer to play with their actual friends.

You are forgetting about families that like to play together or couples etc. Personally all games should have both options so it covers all bases imo.

It has Remote Play capability so what's the problem here?

My question is: can the game support two people on one keyboard?

[Feindfeuer]

This thread is older than the Remote Play feature. That was not an option when we first got to play this game but it did indeed solve the issue for a lot of people. That said, I just reinstalled to check but when using they keyboard the controls are not customizable and you aim with the mouse. So two people on one keyboard seem to not be an option as far as I can tell.

Huh. I guess I was watching n00bs on YouTube then because it looked like they were only attacking in the direction in which they were walking toward... darn. And gotcha; I hope Remote Play helps now!
