MP1st | The Last of Us Multiplayer Review

The Last of Us' multiplayer, though it does follow the same third-person play style, is very different from what we normally play today. By combining the core fundamentals of a multiplayer game with the same intense suspense that you get from the single-player, the multiplayer is surely one feat to be proud of.

mattkelly19913955d ago

Even though it isn't the best multiplayer game I have ever played, it does a terrific job keeping you coming back for more. It is definitely different from games like Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty, but that should be commended. The Last of Us continuously gives you the opportunity to grow your character and even take care of a survival community built around your Facebook friends. With the use of an in game shop where you can buy stuff, crafting, and limited ammunition, it is definitely a breath of fresh air from the standard run and gun multiplayer that many are accustomed to.

9/10

I agree, with TLOU I get the "one more game and then I'll go to bed" syndrome, I just can't stop playing, now if only I could find good partners, lol

i'm gonna give it a go after i finish the SP, which I have been taking my sweet time with, savoring every moment. Without spoiling anything lets just say I woke up all wet.

Once I'm done I will give the MP a go, are there any new details about the season pass content. I'm tempted due to the additional SP content.

FTA:

" However, the system becomes broken at a certain point. Say you have somewhere between 120-150 survivors, that would mean you would need, every match, somewhere between 120-140 supplies, which is absolutely impossible without boosting. It’s not possible. Trust me. I’ve tested it and with the challenges that pop in and can wipe out 20% of the population, there is not enough to keep up with supplies. It needs to be toned down, and it saddens me to know that I may never get some unlockables due to this system unless it gets patched. This system is great, but has huge cons."

Is this true? If so hopefully ND will fix this in an update.

xHeavYx3955d ago

It is true, one bad game and you lose quite a bit of clan people. I think that, even though it may not be well balanced, it still gives you a reason to play smart

Inception3955d ago

I saw the leaderboard and the person who's ranked number 1 had 300+ survivors in the clan. He/she surely got amazing skills to keep those 300+ alive.

Nitrowolf23955d ago

it's called boosting. I don't see how this is possible, even with healing, killing every enemy, and crafting everything possible in the given time, I just don't see it possible

Inception3955d ago

@Nitrowolf2
Sorry, can you explain to me what is 'boosting'? I read some explanation on wiki but i still don't understand (english not my 1st language).

SolidDuck3955d ago

Pretty much sums it up. I came to the last of us for the single player and loved it, but I'm surprised that I'm so addicted to the MP.

Rhezin3955d ago

meh, I don't have tiome for the multi I haven't touched it since I played the epic SP game on hard. I will get back to playing it again, right after I play ALL of my ps3 games over. Getting ready for ps4...

Veneno3955d ago

I'm a retard. I got hooked to the MP after the brilliant SP then I lent the game to my friend cause he wanted to play it badly.

Now I don't know what game to play because nothing can stand up to last of us.

Veneno3955d ago

Why are people agreeing that I'm a retard?

Fil1013955d ago

Why call yourself a retard ???

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."

anast81d 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.

AlterRecs78d 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"

anast78d 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.

AlterRecs77d 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

anast77d ago

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

DrDoomer81d ago

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

CrimsonWing6981d ago

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

AlterRecs78d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6978d 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.

Chocoburger126d 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.

seanpitt2381d 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

Linzoid125d 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…

anast125d 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?
