Has something to do with Nintendo Network.

[RnR]

seems interesting

[Mignaga]

I can't tell if she is just saying online worng, or Nintendo has crested something that doesn't exist or I've never heard of. Still that is an interesting online feature, kinda like Dark Souls.

[Soul]

Can somebody explain?

[Colinx]

So its technically not online co-op or playing with friends. Its just getting to your friends loot before they do or one of their other friends?

[Link707]

Is she saying "new olive feature". So like in game updates from your friends

[Auzzie Wingman]

I get it.

Remember a while back that Nintendo patented the "Massively Single Player Online" idea. This is it. Your interactions can affect other gamer's single player experiences.

Let's also type it out as O-live, or we will get too many people asking for kalamatas.

this is brilliant!!! well spotted haha cant believe she leaked that just like that

[Guy Fieri]

I think she just said online wrong on accident, because you hear some guy asking about multiplayer before she says it.

[Expansion Pak]

I still want online co-op. This is a great feature but...ITS NOT ENOUGH!

[Colinx]

Maybe you could join that persons game and try to get to that persons character first while the friend has started up a new character? In mission select you are continuing using that character you had used? I personally don't understand, I have had no clarity on a majority of these games.

I don't think so. She preceeded with the word 'new', followed it up with 'system' and she did pronounce it as "oh", plus she was in a thinking state, trying to recall what it was.

I feel she put label on it as opposed to using a general word.

[SolxBurst]

It really just seems like the person accidentally said that but I'm not sure, time will tell.

No, I don't think that's what's happening. Your friend's interactions with you in the game are being automated, so you can't join. Basically, with this title, when you die (and have your online active), your death is broadcast to the people on your friends list. Basically, the first person to reach the place where you died (again, assuming they are actively online) will encounter your zombie. If they succeed in taking it down, you get to keep the stash, and you and all your other friends will no longer have the opportunity.

As for using characters, once a character dies, that's it. They've become a zombie, and you'll be given a new character. Anyone on your friends list, and you, can go and attack that zombie for whatever you were previously holding. That said, you'd probably want to be the first to get to it.

With all that, there is quite literally no teamwork in this game. It really is survival of the fittest.

O live system...
I think she means the MiiVerse's messaging system.
Most mostedly.

[Socalmuscle]

She said "O Live"

She said it on purpose. No accident.

It sure seemed like a slip. But Nintendo could call it something else by launch, since they haven't announced it in detail yet.

Kind of her just revealing a temp name for the stuff shown on Nintendo direct.

This.

It also could tie into the Massively Single Player game patent Nintendo filed a year or so ago that everyone assumed would be for animal crossing.

I die, the game posts a message to the miiverse thread for the game, socialmuscle goes to find my zombie, kills me steals my stuff then I lose it all.
Sounds exactly like the MSO patent.

[Auzzie Wingman]

Yep. Exactly what I was thinking when she explained it.
The fact that she said it was an internal Nintendo system as opposed to just how ZombiU is nailed that last.... damnit, how's that thing about a coffin go again?

Last nail in the coffin?
