Well I like how Naughty dog handles their games from keeping multiplayer separate and all. If a collectors edition is revealed expect my pre-order from standard to collectors. :)

despair4143d ago

I'm just waiting for the CE to be announced(and show up on amazon) to pre-order.

admiralvic4143d ago

I seriously doubt we will see a CE, since Sony has backed off doing them this year. None of the big Vita games got one, none of the big PS3 games got one (many said the same of All-Stars, yet we didn't). Finally, none of the ones from last year really sold, which is especially true for Killzone 3 and Uncharted 3.

despair4143d ago

yea, but one can hope.

STICKzophrenic4143d ago

@admiralvic

Uncharted 3 most definitely had a collector's edition.

crxss4143d ago (Edited 4143d ago )

"MP has never taken away resources from the SP game in any of our games, always separate teams, separate resources. The folks working on the single player campaign always have the resources and support to complete that portion of the game to the vision they planned for."

not exactly true in Uncharted 3's case. SP wasn't as great as U2's was and it had to do with some of the Uncharted team working on The Last of Us. So sure MP doesn't take away resources from SP but other projects will move their talent around, but it is what it is. I'm hoping that TLOU fulfills what Uncharted 3 failed to do in terms of Single Player and Multiplayer. Can't wait to see what they have for MP

As far as I think the game will be incredible, I don't get the point of pre-ordering anymore.

Company don't give S*** about fans that pre-order... It's a shame...

No more discount... They give in-game things that you can have anyway and habitually it is faster to just stop by the store the same day the game is out instead of waiting between 1 and 4 days to get your hands on the game...

AznGaara4143d ago

No doubt this deserves a collectors edition. It would right right next to my Ultimate Songbird Editon :)

despair4143d ago

wish I could afford that one, but had to budget for other games as well, went with the cheaper version :(

youndamie4143d ago (Edited 4143d ago )

I miss the days of when the collectors edition was a same price preorder incentive.

Jinkies4143d ago

Well it better get a CE, I don't see why they wouldn't since they know this is going to sell

As for the single player/multiplayer seperation thing...well lets put it this way it would still effect the single player because your taken a chunk of resources, moving a handful of people, to make another team, so in the end your still effecting the single player because you've made the team smaller to make up another one.

fabod864143d ago

what about make the team bigger?

Jinkies4143d ago

They already made another team...

They added a second group in Naughtydog so they can work on two things at the same time. We have the Uncharted group and this group. I don't think they'll make it any bigger, developers sometimes have to work with what they have.

fabod864143d ago

I mean that the team has improved since Uncharted 3 so they have more people to split between the singleplayer and the multiplayer.

Prototype4143d ago

My opinion is they can make the single player is disc and multiplayer is download from PSN, and anyways why do we need a multiplayer for a game like this? Doesn't make too much sense.

BitbyDeath4143d ago

Multiplayer might mean co-op.

Norrison4143d ago

They did the same thing for UC 2 and it delivered both in SP and MP.

KwietStorm_BLM4143d ago

That is exactly contradictory to what they said. I genuinely want to know why specifically the PS3 gaming community is so allergic to multiplayer. Everything is single player single player oh god Herr we go again with multiplayer ugh its gonna take away from single player, as if you know more about game development than the game developers. I've been gaming since Intellivision, so I love a good single player game if its a good game. But keep in mind, multiplayer "taking away" from the campaign can just as easily be subjective. The subtle player mode of a game can be crap regardless. Not including a multiplayer mode isn't going to automatically make the single player mode better.

This will go nicely with my Uncharted collectors editions.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast74d ago

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.

AlterRecs71d ago

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"

anast71d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs69d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast69d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer74d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6973d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs71d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6971d ago

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 Last Of Us Online Devs Celebrate Their Experience With The Canceled Game

The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.

Chocoburger118d ago

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.

seanpitt2374d ago

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

Linzoid118d ago

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…

anast118d ago

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?
