[edit] Multiplayer?

A recent change of the page included multiplayer support. Could someone please confirm that?

[edit] RE: Multiplayer

No that's not correct. B&W2 will ship without multiplayer support, but may be added later; http://www.lionhead.com/teambw/mailbagw1.html

are you sure? Peter Molyneux and Ron Millar (lead designers) are always playing multiplayer games against each other. doesn't this mean they have multiplayer working? or does this mean they are working on it and thus are testing it? Frexe 31 Aug 2005

Though it's certainly possible that they have some functional version of multiplayer in the studio that they could have been referring to, multiplayer will definitely not ship with the initial release. (Darric, 05 Sep 2005)

[edit] System Specs?

Where do those stated minimum system requirements come from? They don't seem at all close to what Lionhead have mentioned in the past... (Darric, 05 Sep 2005)

[edit] Accuracy

"One of this game's most promising features is its interface, which will be almost buttonless"

I'm not sure if this is accurate. I haven't played the game myself, but I've seen it being played and read reviews, and it appears that the buttonless interface of B&W1 has been replaced with a much more traditional interface with lots of buttons to click on. Arganoid 18:01, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

I've played the game before, and yes there is an interface full of buttons. However, they aren't completely necessary to the gameplay. You can play without it, but it just tends to be easier for some to use a GUI. --211.27.187.140 07:35, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

=No, you cannot play the game without buttons. You need them to upgrade. You *must* navigate throughout the menus in order to play.
