Co-op?

[out_antonio]

I don't know exactly what is required to develop such a thing but do you think it will be possible in the future to have a mod that will allow us to play co-op on the same (hosted) city? Something like steam's remote play togheter

[Lumpous]

No.

How in the hell would CS2 work in co-op?

and what in the hell would even be the point to playing co-op in CS2?

what one can do is playing it alternative, first one player is building then gives it to another one and so on.

I still don't see the point in doing this at all.

[Plutoski]

yes

I don't know, I do think It'd be nice if there was some kind of multiplayer where you could have neighboring cities; Having multiple people play the same city at once doesn't really make sense?

It's already been done, in SimCity 2013. It was a disaster. It's still available out there, I think. You could always give that a try.

In the future: Maybe. I'm talking about years....
At the moment: no.

As far as I can imagine, there are theoretically 2 ways for a coop game play, and both had already been used in CS1. No idea why everyone else here claims it is impossible, because in CS1 it was/is still possible.
So theoretically it should be possible in CS2 as well.


1) People share their savefile. Player A starts the city. Saves the game, Gives this savefile to player B. Player B continues playing on that city. Saves the game. Gives the savefile back to Player A. Player A continues playing.....
That's what some youtubers did with the "5 players one city" videos.
The disadvantage:
They cannot play at the same time, so it's not really a remote play together coop game.


2) Someone might create a mod similar this CS1-mod.

Since a multiplayer mod was technically possible for CS1 we can assume, technically it should be possible for CS2 as well. We need "only" someone who tries to create such a mod.

In Simcity people get to play as neighbors.

[Dwight Schrute]

wow

[enderbeta]

coop in Sim City 2013 resulted in a so many cities where the other players abandon the city in the middle of great works. I'm not keen to experience that again.

After 15 months, they still can't get an asset editor out. So chance of them doing Co-op is about .0000000000000000000000000000001%

If anyone is intrested, me and some friends started our cities at the same time and after some time led others decide which city looks better, you can modify that with for ex. “first to reach X population wins” or “first to get X amount of Money wins”
