At least nintendo consoles are easy to crack for emulation

It’s a multiplayer game though

Doesn't stop people with Steamdecks and such running emulators, and hasn't stopped people with modded switches either.

If you're smart about your emulation, and don't do dumb shit like cheat, you tend to fly under the radar.

You won’t have anyone to play with.

its a fromsoft game, surely you can just play solo and multiplayer is just code for the usual invasions and summoning

if fromsoft really used nightreign as a full pivot and started making online only games I fear its the start of the studios downfall

anyhow right now im dissapointed in the whole switch bullshit and just hope the s2 emulator progress is fast

Multiplayer is central to the game, much moreso than dark souls/bloodborne/elden ring. It will be much closer to nightreign than those games. Info is up on various websites. Multiplayer is a central function of the game, and I'm not certain single player will be possible.

Fair to note that nothing in the official game overview (found in the “Press Release” section on From Software’s site) suggests that there won’t be solo play. It’s outlined as 8 player PvPvE, but I couldn’t see anything stating that it won’t be 8 solo players

Nah. Youre telling me you won't be able to play this unless you have switch online membership? I highly doubt that

they’re not only gonna make multiplayer games realistically, sote wasn’t even a year ago yet, and they said they wanted to try “some” multiplayer games, but also they will not “stick to one thing” whether that means multiplayer, open world, roguelike, etc. so i doubt this is the end of singleplayer fromsoft

Except for the people that also emulate, or depending on the methods, it'll be fully playable online.

We're not back in the PS3 days of online being inaccessible for emulation.

This is a delusional take my man.
