Will the couch Coop be on the normal multiplayer servers? Would be pretty epic to go to any friend's house jump on the couch and grind some COOP online.
Hey man, could you ask if they plan on adding a K&M feature to console. I see it a lot in Discords and forums for POE and other games, and would love to hear what they’re thinking about this topic.
You know the people at GGG are gamers at heart, so if they're gonna make a console version they'll make sure they don't compromise their PC version unlike other more shallow-thinking studios.
@@lordhandsomeswag1854 There is a chance they could. They are trying to appeal to casuals as well as the core community they have already built. Very, very easy to alienate either side with a few changes. If they some how master the onboarding of new players while still keeping the depth then sure, they'll dominate the genre for the next 10 years but that is a monumental ask.
@@MrWiggz69 appealing to casuals and appealing to new players are not at all the same thing. we already know the game is incredibly difficult from just what theyve shown, and they haven't even shown us full skill tree, end game, any crafting
@@alcovitch There are a few main reasons why it is really nice for me. My best equipment is used on my PC setup. Yea, I've moved my Ps5 to that location, but other times it's nice to have your console in a different location. PC also usually performs and looks better. Another big one is that Sony charges to play multiplayer with other people not on the console. Lastly, if Diablo 4 had properly implemented this feature I wouldn't even own a Ps5 so it wouldn't even be an option.
It's the sole reason i haven't bought d4, we're going in 2024 and it should be a no brainer of designing a couch play for pc users too, cause i ain't buying a console for that anymore i've done it with d3, and it was such a waste of time and money that i won't be doing it again.
It will all hinge on how easy the onboarding is imo. That skill tree still looks like a horror scene so personally still on the fence. Everything else i've seen looks really, really good though.
@@MrWiggz69 skill tree is horror ? Bruh if i would see a skill tree like that i would instanly download and play the game. We're not the same, you are scared of complexity and something that requires some brain, im not. Seems like D4 is more suitable for you, a far more simpler game system with no depth at all.
@@DevilWolf000 He's right though. i haven't seen too much of the skill tree changes in POE2 but do you not understand that the entire reason POE1 isn't the most popular ARPG is the skill tree right? most people do not enjoy having to do massive amounts of homework, make spreadsheets, and use third party programs just to make a build that works well enough to complete the content lol.
This year i am saving money,getting in shape , dropping all the annyoing humans in my life and switching to part time job just to lose myself into this game like a degenerate when it comes out 😅
Omg I can't wait for this to come out on PS5 . Your channel is going to explode when this drops . You better have a holiday before this arrives because everyone is going to want your advice and ideas on this awesome game. Plus, you know how we love your content. Cannot wait for you to show us how to play this. Coop looks insane on one screen, too, not split.
I remember all the amazing 3-4 player couch coop rpgs on the PS2. I always lament that we don’t get them often anymore. POE2 will probably not have more than 2 players ever, but it’s still great to see.
This is so great news, up until the State of Play there wasn’t any information about console release and cross play. This is way better than expected. Also in case you missed it, even couch coop on pc is supported.
Bro... I loved Diablo 4 couch play. And the game was pretty incomplete in initial seasons, but loved it. Can't to test it on PoE2 too. It will be my first PoE experience.
This is a dream come true. I was worried about PoE2 because my PC is trash and I was worried the console release/eco system would be totally seperate, but now I can play without any stupid restrictions. Amazing!
Couch co-op doesn't matter anymore....it's smart of them to include it because it is a selling point that most will never use but it'll at least boost their success.
Graphics, the visual spells, the fluidity of combat is all there. I would like to see them update their item UI, it still looks like D2 text style, at the very least add a visual icon next to it for some identity (e.g. a ring graphic for a ring above or to the side of the stats)
Bro I’m soo happy for you. I know when gaming becomes more of a career it’s hard to stay motivated with gaming and sometimes the “fun” is more like a job then fun but just keep pushing past the grind and always remember fun before the job 👍🏽
This is pretty sweet. I was super bummed to find out after buying a series S for my son that very few games are playable with 2 people on the couch. Stoked to be able to play this with him in the future.
POE2 looks like a blast. Now that Diablo iv is actually good and Last Epoch is tons of fun, it’s a good time to be a fan of ARPGs no matter whats your flavor.
News about cross play makes me worried, we all know that a lot of game devs need to downscale games to make it work on console. I am not talking about graphics but things like amount of entities on screen, mob density etc. Hopefully GGG will figure something out.
Ngl that couch coop looks absolutely fantastic playing halo or dont stave together with my friend on console is some of the best memories in my life and im glad PoE tries rly hard to bring this legendary experience back so other people can enjoy couch coop at its peak with friends
Honestly, I have been eyeing the Steam deck for a long time. The idea is attractive, I just can't see myself enjoying most things I play on one, especially PoE. Now, If PoE2 is really good QoL on consoles and by extension, the deck, I'd seriously consider buying one. Casual PoE mapping or whatever on break at work or while laying on the bed at home, etc. is a dream of mine, lol.
There's not enough buttons on a controller to play this game it seems. 5 potion buttons + 10 skill slots, then movement, direction. I'll try it but I'm skeptical.
It'll prolly have a system like D2R. The 4 face buttons, then hold a trigger and the same 4 buttons, then hold the other trigger and those buttons, then maybe even holding both triggers and using the buttons
Worried about it being twin stick. If you’re always needing to control your direction, how will you cast a spell and control your direction at the same time? Youd have to leave your thumb stick to cast a spell with the buttons
The real question for most of us here though is when is GTA 6 coming to PC? PoE 2 will surely be out before that. I don't want to play GTA 6 on my consoles vs. my PC, it's depressing to think about.
Man, I truly am so pumped to get my hands on this game. It's made by people who get what we want in an ARPG, and I am so pumped a game FINALLY added cross progression!!!!!
Couch co-op needs to make a comeback, I had 2 buddies that used to love playing Champions of Norrath together we made full days out of playing and it was always a blast.
As a lover of PoE, I also realize that it will never gain a mainstream audience with how deep and complicated it is. DM touched on this at the 7 minute mark with the skill tree being just one example. PoE 2 will be no different a few weeks after launch when the majority of people hit their inevitable brick wall. I really hope GGG makes a concentrated effort in PoE 2 to ease people in with way better tool-tips and help videos in-game to teach new players. I don't think this can be understated enough how important this would be. If you're a fan of ARPG's, you want as many casual franchises to be as successful as possible. That's why the Diablo franchise and other more casual arpg's are so important to help grow the genre and in return, also help grow PoE. If they stick around and want more, PoE is there waiting all by itself and Free to Play with no barrier to entry besides downloading the game.
The #1 item I would ask you to keep in mind is that console players don't have a keyboard. Any time a virtual keyboard opens be suspicious if a UI could have done better. Do you need to type in a filter? There should be a check box. Do you need to describe your item at the auction house? Probably not acceptable. Do you need to invite your friend to a party? Ok that's a reasonable one. Diablo 4 does NOT get this right. Another thing, console does not have a mouse so things like clicking through empty spots in your inventory to manage it is annoying. Diablo 3 did an awesome job of this and just used a list instead of a grid. Diablo 4 you can't even move your items around in the grid with the controller. Inventory management on a grid with controller is something to focus on.
@@c-tothefourth4879 Ugh I'm pretty sure I did but now I'm gonna go watch it again! Update: all my comments stand but I'm glad DM got another view. Yes they said you can manage inventory with a controller and hot keys, but playing on a grid sucks when you have to click through every box after 200 hours.
The more I look at it the more poe2 seems like Diablo 4, at least in terms of graphic details, animation, couch co op, that is literally the same also in the way the hud is splitted, the more action focused combact with the dash, here seems even more arcade compared to Diablo 4, even LE it’s going to add it, and all the cross play things with consoles, I like when games copies from each other in the right ways, I can’t wait to prove it, we have another contender in town
ALL THEY HAVE TO DO, to make PoE 2 Accessible to new players is add a feature where you can look up profiles and see uploaded builds and have the ability to copy those builds like in Path of Building, then youtubers can just make and share builds and If I like what I see on youtube I can find their character in game and copy the build to auto level towards what they're doing. That would be so sick
Wow when they showed that inventory screen I cringed. A crossbow took up a quarter of the entire inventory. I knew they were acting stubborn on questions about inventory space but that is just horrendous. I am a hoarder when it comes to ARPGs so that is going to be a nightmare
The question is, will this delay the expected Beta that supposedly comes out at the end of the Year? It's great that they are focusing on a Console release. It would be interesting to try using a controller vs WSAD etc. Looking forward to seeing what you think. The game might look better on my PS5 than my PC. My Laptop is fairly old so... I've seen POE on PS5. Curious if it's similar to what we might see in POE2.
Nah, not anymore. D4 got crapped on for its first 3 seasons, Season 4 however fixed everthing and the game is AMAZING now. So..don't listen to those whiners too much, many of them are whining because they cannot pay for the game, they have 0 knowledge about it. D4 is great! Ask DM himself!
Right? And what to think about another large percentage of those whiners that put 1000 hours into the game themselves? What does that mean? If I put a 1000 hours into a game and complain it is bad.. is it actually bad or extremely good? I think the latter.
But I'm the roller will we be able to bind *move action? Cause we can't in Poe1 and most builds need it. I don't think it'll be a thing right off the rip, but give a yr maybe 2
If gear is worth picking up.. you will have all the gear you require in a couple minutes, so that's probably never going to happen. If gear is worthy of picking up.. it also probably means there is not a lot of cool shit we can do with gear.. which would be a super bad thing. So.. careful what you wish for, you think you want it but it would ruin the game. GGG knows better than any commenter what good gear progression/acquisition looks like.
damn this is sick, I had buddies who liked playing d3 on console together but everytime I would go over I would lament having to try and struggle through everyone pausing to sort their gear and stats xD Coming from pc it was basically unplayable for me but this actually has me tempted to buy a ps5 just to try and get my fiance to play poe2 couch co-op with me lol
I hope the controller setup is better. It was difficult before to use any build with potions because you have to take your thumbs off the movement sticks. You basically needed a scuf controller to be able to handle all the I puts and still be able to move. Controller locked you into certain builds because you can't effectively use all the potion slots.
Well did you watch the video? You need the arrow buttons and the console specific buttons PLUS you're already using both thumbs to move and aim. Going to be awkward to hit those other buttons. DOesn't look like a good time to me.
@@alcovitch The video also says it auto aims for you and the stick is just for precise aiming. You probably dont need right stick if you're playing melee or bow chars much. It'll be needed more for bosses definitely but I doubt its important for going through zones.
I wonder what kind of deal with the Devil GGG did to be able to do constant updates of console just like PC. Every single patch requires a 40k fee on Sony and MS devices rights?

It would be interesting to try using a controller vs WSAD etc. Looking forward to seeing what you think. The game might look better on my PS5 than my PC. My Laptop is fairly old so...
I've seen POE on PS5. Curious if it's similar to what we might see in POE2.
I know Diablo 4 gets crapped on but they basically have these same couch co op features
Nah, not anymore. D4 got crapped on for its first 3 seasons, Season 4 however fixed everthing and the game is AMAZING now. So..don't listen to those whiners too much, many of them are whining because they cannot pay for the game, they have 0 knowledge about it. D4 is great! Ask DM himself!
Right? And what to think about another large percentage of those whiners that put 1000 hours into the game themselves? What does that mean? If I put a 1000 hours into a game and complain it is bad.. is it actually bad or extremely good? I think the latter.
Best gaming experiences I've ever had are couch co-ops
But I'm the roller will we be able to bind *move action? Cause we can't in Poe1 and most builds need it. I don't think it'll be a thing right off the rip, but give a yr maybe 2
Can’t wait to play together at 30 FPS on my PS5.
I would say I'm dropping D4 for this game but I basically already have.
Thank you for not being an elitist PC gamer like certain other poe content creators.
Great, now all we need are items worth picking up instead of having to craft all your gear!
If gear is worth picking up.. you will have all the gear you require in a couple minutes, so that's probably never going to happen. If gear is worthy of picking up.. it also probably means there is not a lot of cool shit we can do with gear.. which would be a super bad thing. So.. careful what you wish for, you think you want it but it would ruin the game. GGG knows better than any commenter what good gear progression/acquisition looks like.
Is it just me, but I actually like the way he says ready.
Man I hope the Xbox series S doesn’t mean downgraded console specs for us all!
damn this is sick, I had buddies who liked playing d3 on console together but everytime I would go over I would lament having to try and struggle through everyone pausing to sort their gear and stats xD Coming from pc it was basically unplayable for me but this actually has me tempted to buy a ps5 just to try and get my fiance to play poe2 couch co-op with me lol
Finally I can sit on my couch and my dog can finally let me play
I hope the controller setup is better. It was difficult before to use any build with potions because you have to take your thumbs off the movement sticks. You basically needed a scuf controller to be able to handle all the I puts and still be able to move. Controller locked you into certain builds because you can't effectively use all the potion slots.
Practice and crafting help with that. Things like consume flask when full make it a lot easier.
Well did you watch the video? You need the arrow buttons and the console specific buttons PLUS you're already using both thumbs to move and aim. Going to be awkward to hit those other buttons. DOesn't look like a good time to me.
@@alcovitch The video also says it auto aims for you and the stick is just for precise aiming. You probably dont need right stick if you're playing melee or bow chars much. It'll be needed more for bosses definitely but I doubt its important for going through zones.
To me its all the quality of life things they add, that lets pale D4 in comparison.
Couch coop make power leveling your second character/account easier?
I wonder what kind of deal with the Devil GGG did to be able to do constant updates of console just like PC. Every single patch requires a 40k fee on Sony and MS devices rights?
So excited for this game and couch co-op 🙏
They got my respect for couch co op even if I don’t have friends to play with it 😅😅
