Multiplayer ???

[Felipe 2]

This game will have Multiplayer in the Future ? Coop ? PvE PvP ? Survival Multiplayer ?

Jesus Christ, I hope not.

[NERV]

God no.

Why must every game be multiplayer, esp given the nasty, destructive little ♥♥♥♥♥ PvP play attracts? I prefer a game with plot and character to, for example, Fallout 76.

Some people including me enjoy playing games with friends :)

Co-op between 2-4 people? Sure. But competitive multiplayer of any shade does not belong in this game.

Co-op can be fun with the right people but I really hope the base is only a single player game! It looks really cool right now! Please do not make it like the newest Fallout to date!!!

A lot of generalized comments.
The game idea sounds pretty cool, I hope in the future this game can expand to other species as well.
Multiplayer wouldn't be bad, just make sure there aren't any grindy crafty elements that can be exploited. The biggest problems with games like rust, ark and the like is that when you build up your weaponry it becomes very hard to survive. In those games people are less likely to value their lives and more likely to value their things. They are also more likely to find people to be the bigger threat than the world, we need incentive to work together.

This game will not have Multiplayer and will be a Singlplayer experience.
Ancestors will be released in Chapters.
First Chapter is "The Humankind Odyssey" and will play the Story of our Ancestors inbetween 10mil-2mil years befor us.

Thats what the Developer sayd so far.

Agreed, if there's any form of Online, it needs to be co-op and only co-op.

Co-op could be really great: surviving with friends is fun. Competitive multiplayer, however, is a different story.

Competitive multiplayer would be great - our ancestors fought with each other a hell of a lot, tribalism is still rife in certain parts of the world now, it would add realism to the game.

[Altiris]

But at the same time, it could add a too competitive style of gameplay to the game, like rust or something. Which would not do any good for realism and immersion for the game.

If you want those experiences though, you could play the actual ♥♥♥♥ tonne of survival pvp games on Steam. Adding it to this game would be wasted resources and frankly not that great. It would add nothing, though a co-op mode *could* potentially at least be pretty cool.

I just want to be able to play with my kids. I don't want to worry about being ganked.

i will only buy this game if it comes with multiplayer/co-op
