Bit worried about this. I really want more Endless Ocean but I don’t want to be swimming about with loads of other people thank you. (I am that person that enjoyed Journey the most on my own…) I can kind of see the joy of sharing but that isn’t really why I play video games. I play for me time, solo time, escape time. So if this sequel is built around multiplayer then, very sadly, probably not for me. Sniff, sniff…

Yeah, that screenshot of everyone posing put me right off. Not what I want in a game like this.

This US trailer shares new details about the game including the Veiled Ocean zone; an area which changes each time you visit.
Oh, and it also confirms that you can have shared dives (i.e. with other players online) and solo dives. You can, if you choose, become "dive buddies" with other players.
rinks, will you be on the lookout for dive buddies?!? ;-).
For a very small number of people, this will be a great, relaxing title for them to unwind with after a stressful day, but even then you expect a little more content than what seems to be on offer here? I have no idea how it compares on the content front compared to the two Wii entires though?
