pe7ouill3: I tried it.
Local co op (2 players) and controllers are OK but you're right no online features

Grotok2003: Thank you for the clarification. 2 players only locally and not 4?! I don't know if this is Lizardcube, DotEmu or Sega's decision to dump down the GOG version, but if I don't get the same features as Steam/consoles, it's a no-buy for me.

pe7ouill3, do you get to the hear the soundtracks from SOR1 and SOR2 while playing?
So if my memories of mega drive are good, yes, it's the same music you can hear.

Yep. Anytime a dev dumbs down a title for the DRM free crowd it's an immediate no buy for me. Ridiculous.

Good to hear, otherwise it would have been false advertising.

Nope. Local only up to 4 players

That's a hard pass. I do understand that devs maybe don't have resources to release the game with multiplayer that works for all PC releases. But selling the game for the same price as Steam version with multiplayer... The game should be like 60% of Steam version price. Also considering coronavirus situation local multiplayer is out of question for many people.

Grotok2003: I was all excited about this game coming to GOG until I read that post. And if I read correctly, not even multiplayer locally, single player only. No controller support either. Seriously Lizardcube.
Wrong. Local multiplayer is here, game got full controller support for all versions, not only that but you can select what controller buttons will be displayed - XBox, PS4 or Switch. But no online multiplayer for the same price as Steam version made it obvious where to get the game.

Garrison72: Why no online for GOG?
avatar
mdecorde: 1) why indeed
2) and why should online features depends on gog/steam/whatever stores ?
Because developers are too lazy or don't have enough resources to use their own network code and servers.

But there's literally nothing that prevents you from making game supporting GOG Galaxy AND Steam at once and even creating a bridge between them. It's all about developers having enough time, will, money and skills to do that.

Because steamwork saves money for the devs. No need to build a multiplayer from scratch.
BUT, implementing multiplayer in every framework of every stores cost money.

All they can do is reduce price in stores they don't fully support, like GoG. They didn't. It is regrettable.

Thanks.

This game is wonderful, and GOG version has no DRM, so I think it's a feature worth a lot, as online of steam.
One has no DRM, other has drm but online, so same price it's ok, for me. ;)
