"Earlier this week, developer Naughty Dog confirmed that its upcoming post-apocalyptic romp The Last of Us would feature a multiplayer mode of some description. This was met with some trepidation from gamers, as the subject of multiplayer being shoe-horned into a largely single-player experience has been a highly contentious issue for the last few years. Just look at Dead Space 2, Mass Effect 3 and Assassin’s Creed and you’ll see what we’re talking about."

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.
I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.
Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"
They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.
That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.
The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.
All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.
What a waste of time and money, what a shame.
I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!
Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait
Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.
TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…
This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
It wouldn't matter anyway, it's the single player people care about and thats what it will be known for.
"Uncharted 2 and 3 are a testament to how the studio is able to craft a thrilling campaign and supplement the action with a compelling multiplayer. We think the same case will definitely apply for The Last of Us."
With Uncharted 2 it worked because it was simple and fun yet they didn't work on it much meaning hardly no resources were wasted on multiplayer which could of been used on the single player game, hell they actually threw it in the game because they were FINISHED with the game and had some time left, with U2 they made a basic multiplayer and it worked. With Uncharted 3 however they went overboard and they felt they had to compete with the "big boys" aka COD which then lead to them giving the online COD like gimmicks like every other multiplayer game these days and it took away resources from the single player because they worked on it at the same time...come on Uncharted 3 was amazing but the story especialy character development was no where near as good as Uncharted 2 and I think it's pretty obvious that the multiplayer was the problem, they spent too much time on it instead of just tweaking what they had with Uncharted 2, all they had to do was take U2 before the 1.5 update, put it in Uncharted 2, add some new weapons or reskin the old ones and then add then customization.
It's why I hope they just make it like Uncharted 2 again so they can work on the single player more.
Besides Uncharted 2 it worked because multiplayer fitted that type of game. With TLOU being this survival type game, where resources are limited, it's not the type of game to have multiplayer. A few co-op missions fair enough but at least add an AI so single player gamers can play through it by themselfs.
Didnt UC have MP because ND had two teams working on the game? Meaning, they were able to do it, without compromise?
I'm not sure though (kinda a question).
i don't care about the MP
i'm buying the last of us DAY 1 because the story
the multiplayer is just a bonus
Loved U:2&3 but the multiplayer was meh. I played the multiplayer for about 2 days then dropped it.
For me, I am interested in The Last of Us for the single player experience. Obviously, it's why I'm buying the game (pre-ordered on Amazon). The thought of a potential infected vs survivors MP game is exciting. It already appears as though the SP portion has and is getting plenty of development love, so why not make an MP mode? Look at the GoW beta. People seem to genuinely enjoy it.
