What Would Make The Last of Us Multiplayer Actually Good? Some Ideas To Toss Around

MP1st - While the single player will most likely be the reason to even play the game, we can’t ignore that The Last of Us will have multiplayer. To some that in itself is troubling. For a game that seems primarily focused on Single-player, multiplayer is a thought that is sitting in the back of many buyers’ heads. So, what exactly does Naughty Dog need to do to get our attention?

What Naughty dog comes up with should be pretty good. Im still expecting a multiplayer reveal this week with all the Playstation news so far.

Omar914000d ago

So wait, question: Has Multiplayer been confirmed by Naughty Dog or is this just rumors?

Nitrowolf23999d ago

Yes it has been, but they ahven't shown anything with a month till release

Omar913999d ago

Cool. I'm on this site everyday and never seen a article. Guess I must have missed it. Thanks for the info!

The demo most likely is gonna have MP in some way. No reason to delay the demo if it was SP only.

Nitrowolf23999d ago (Edited 3999d ago )

Exactly. It makes almost no sense to do it if it was just SP.

Ilovetheps53999d ago (Edited 3999d ago )

If you look at some of the preorder bonuses, one of the items was character skins for multiplayer. That's when it first got out that the game had multiplayer I believe. But yes, they did confirm multiplayer outside of that.

I want a mode where you invade other people's single player sessions and play as the AI. RE6 had a mode similar to this.

bluetoto3999d ago

Single player= 1. Wouldn't be a single player session then now would it?

Double_Oh_Snap4000d ago (Edited 4000d ago )

As long as Naughty Dog takes all the core values/mechanics of The Last of Us. Then uses them as a foundation for mp everything should be okay.

No health regen
Power struggle mechanic
Salvaging/crafting
Brutal melee combat
Interesting modes that reflect The Last of Us not TDM

Just a few examples of a good way to start imo.

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."

anast77d 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.

AlterRecs74d 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"

anast74d 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.

AlterRecs73d 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

anast73d ago

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

DrDoomer77d ago

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

CrimsonWing6977d ago

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

AlterRecs74d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6974d 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.

Chocoburger122d 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.

seanpitt2377d 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

Linzoid121d 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…

anast121d 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?
