Highly unlikely, but you can use Parsec to play any "local co-op only" game online with a friend.

Agree, it's great!

I mean, native online co-op is amazing, but it's unrealistic generally. It requires so much time/money to be properly done, and rarely pays itself for indie games, often leading to worse games and debts/commercial failures.

It often leads to delays or bugs, and when not, will just end up having people complain as in "dead game noone is online" stuff. Gamers are generally pawesome, you know?

So, Parsec implies in no extra cost of development, works flawlesly when you meet its requirements, and best of all, only requires one copy of the game to play in co-op. It's much more feasible, and it's somewhat unfair to "demand" online coop considering all the strings attached to it.

To anyone interested, I actually used Parsec to play the game online just fine:

Totally recommend it to those interested: http://parsecgaming.com

Parsec is fine, if your internet is fast enough and you set it correctly, if your internet isn't fast enough then you shouldn't be playing online in the first place.

There's no sidekick, the Cat and the Dog are equally protagonists. Both characters have the same capabilities, equip items, cast spells and interact with everything. Just check my video above if you want to see it in action.

Looks like this will be a non-issue, as it will become a standard Steam feature[arstechnica.com] to allow couch co-op to be played online.

not really
i have a bad 3rd world internet connection and i play online games with my friends all the time
when all the game has to do is send packets of its own information ? almost any connection ever can handle that

it becomes a problem when you use parsec and what not
cuz you dont just stream your game's packet you stream your entire monitor/pc and things going on in it so it takes up much more

so i can play online games smoothly with friends with 0 issues all the time but i cant do parsec and most likely wont be able to do this new steam thing
