How do you get on the multiplayer free roam where there are other players? (on PS4)

Once you get to the 3rd (I think) mission it unlocks multiplayer. From there you can open the map and switch to the multiplayer map where you choose what you want to do.

There is a mission where you are infiltrated (early campaign, as Mave below mentions) and a hacker enters your game. This initial hacker is computer controlled, despite appearances to the contrary. Once you complete the mission, you then become a target available for anyone to infiltrate unless you choose to disable this ability in settings. I found it to be a cool feature, it really requirements minimal time to address the individual hacker. Maybe 4-5 minutes tops per intrusion? I think it adds another element to the game that works well.

You should be able to solo play all parts of this game either by using multiple individual roles or just as one player, with the exception of the Eco-Terrorist variant. The Eco-Terrorist requires a minimum of 2 players.

I don't think the online servers are still there (I have never tried to access them) - CNC 4 may be an exception. You can play multi-player on an internal network.

I haven't tried that yet because my friends with PS3's don't have The Show. And the ones that have the PS4, play The Show. Try inviting him to a game and see how it goes.

Single player and multiplayer are merged as one in this game. This seems like a good idea but I oftentimes found myself being reconnected after the connection was disrupted and so I ended up turning the feature off anyways.

You can play offline against and co-op with your friends. Also you can challenge people with on line matches, although personally I never have.

I play online pretty regularly, normal wait time for me is about a minute. A lot of people play this online, especially on ps4.

You can do both! There is a main story line and everything built in for single player, the online mode is just on the side but is totally playable just for solo players =)

There is no Coop mode in Watchdogs. After you complete Act 1, Mission 4, you unlock the ability to use the PvP function. This enables you to play several different types of side missions against other people online. I will say that it can be kind of distracting when you are playing a mission then all of a sudden you realize you are being hacked by someone who has jumped on your game but it offers a challenge unlike other games out there. Here is a link to an IGN article about the multiplayer experience on Watch Dogs which should give you a better understanding of the types of multiplayer missions there are. http://www.ign.com/wikis/watch-dogs/Multiplayer

No it is not an online game and only single player but very very addicting, if you wanted to play with a friend I suggest each create a character and when the player dies its the other persons turn lol my version of multi player I guess

I believe that you and your online friends will need the same version of the game and the same console to play together. PS3 and PS4 players will not be able to play together.

You can play it alone, but I find it more fun to play with others. I usually play with either one or two others, but have sometimes played with three others

No, this is not an MMO! You only have to pay for PS+ if you want to play with other gamers online, so the actual game does not have a fee! However, you should be able to play for free with up to 4-player splitscreen!

Yes. There is a miltiplayer offline mode. U can play 4 players at the same time is really great

It is for both multiplayer and single player. But I recommend to start single player first because by completeing missions and stuff in single you unlock more stuff for multi. But it's what ever do what you please it's your game anyways.

Sadly, it's only 2 player local only splitscreen. And you can only use one profile at a time, so the 2 player is limited to player 1's progress. Kinda lame.

It does - you can choose to play the game persistently online in the menu and other players will pop into the map. Get ready for even longer load times though and in the end it still eats your save game. There definitely is on offline single player mode because I went in and changed the settings.
