A new video has been posted where Game Director Josh Mosqueira shows cooperative gameplay for the console version of the game. There isn't much new information in the video, but it shows a good amount of uninterrupted 4-player gameplay.
Console Hotkey Information
Vaeflare tells us more about the hotkeys on console and how some features that stop gameplay affect the coop experience.

- 3.) In gameplay, R3 places a beacon of light over the player’s head. This is particularly useful when coordinating in multiplayer as a way to visually indicate “Over here!” to your group.
- L3 has no dedicated function in gameplay - We felt it would be pretty awkward to click down when you also use it for movement.
- 4.) Pressing the D-pad up while in game will allow you to Fast Equip items. Pressing the D-pad right will cast your Town Portal, and pressing the D-pad down will allow you to access your full-screen map.
- 5.) If there are only local players in the game, then yes, the game pauses when the START button is pressed or when the inventory/skill screens are up. If remote players are also present, the game will not be paused.

We have not released any details pertaining to the PlayStation 4 version at this time. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Open World in D3
Wyatt Cheng talked a little bit about making the world of Sanctuary more open in his interview with ArchonTheWizard, but it's to early to have more details on how it would work. I think this all comes back to having more choices in content (something Travis Day talks about), and that's something we're definitely interested in providing more of.
