why is it labeled as multiplayer?

[Bait]

says local coop only in info but labeled otherwise, remote play is still considered local coop due to games forcing splitscreen. almost got it for a friend and i plus nostalgia, but feels like they tried to trick people

[Dewit]

Also, gonna add in addition, using remote play together with someone for this game or similar games would be considered multiple ppl playing, Seems that lots immediately assume a multiplayer lable is going to be online multiplayer when that is not always the case.

if thats the case then every single game to ever exist is multi then.

Either you're retarded as ♥♥♥♥, or just playing stupid. There's no way you don't know what local cop-op is...

local coop, so you are playing with a shared perspective on one console, lol thats not multiplayer, keep crying.

any game on the planet can use a remote access/virtual machine, literal single player games can be done on a VM, just because two people have access to the game through said virtual machine, doesn't mean the game supports multiplayer, its really just two people playing single player through some remote key app. yea I get that in your smooth brain, you think that because you can do something with someone else its multiplayer, although its really a brain dead and zero nuanced take on your part, its like claiming two people can drive a car "multi-driver". By your metric, literally every game on the planet is coop, like I can play fallout new vegas with my buddy and take turns either in person or virtually, that doesn't make it multi.

Other games say "online pvp" or "MMO" or "Cross-platform Multiplayer" if its actually multiplayer games, so quit lying you guys.

Coop is two players, not multi, words have meanings, improve your english if you think you have to disagree and I don't know why you are coping about this so hard, just admit that the label is wrong, it would be so easy.

[Bob_Lagota]

Just look up the meaning of "Multiplayer" e.g. in wikipedia:
"A multiplayer video game is a video game in which more than one person can plaz in the same game environment at the same time, either locally on the same computing system (couch co-op), on different computing systems (LAN / WAN) [...] Multiplayer games usually require players to share a single game system or use network technology to play together [...] players may compete against one or more human contestants, work cooperatively with human partner to achieve a common goal..."

In short, more than one player can play the same game at the same time = multiplayer (same system or not, does not matter for the definition, as well as the game mode doesn't). Since two players are more than one, we have in fact a multiplayer game, compared to single player (one player only).

If I recall correctly, there is a label in steam for "online multiplayer".

About the english language, multi means more than one.

[Chere]

It's not. Store page only says local\splitscreen coop, not multiplayer. But 2 players is still multiplayer, so even if it was tagged multiplayer, it wouldn't be wrong

[Bob_Lagota]

I just saw instructions in the community hub for online coop through Steam, but I have not tested it myself. In short, start the game with your save game and the friend as well (if I recall correctly), invite your friend through the steam overlay and change to the second player (by pressing F2), so your friend can play with his own characters.
