"I personally don’t like the phrase “stand-alone DLC”. Not because of the actual meaning of it, but because I think there’s a negative stigma that surrounds it." -- PlayStation Enthusiast
Modder 'Swiz19' has just shared an amazing mod for Uncharted The Lost Legacy that brings to its Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider series.
Because the recent Tomb Raider games haven’t been that good, so inject Lara into Uncharted and boom good “Tomb Raider” game. Can’t fault them. *shrugs*
Naughty Dog is changing. It’s about time, but part of fans will miss what the studio has become over the past fifteen years as a pioneer of cinematic blockbusters lined with prestige storytelling that the entire medium now tries to emulate. It changed everything. But now, it is both leaving Uncharted behind and has no plans for The Last of Us Part 3 unless the narrative it aims to deliver is absolutely necessary.
This is the right move, and the selfless one from a studio that could have milked both these properties until there was nothing left.
Yep . Another studio can make it if needed . If Sony wants to do it or not who knows ?
Uncharted 4 is by far the worst in the series, but I fear Naughty Dog is incapable of redeeming the franchise with another entry. Amy Hennig is gone and Neil Druckmann has more than proven he's not a storyteller.
India is a culturally rich and beautiful land which is a perfect setting for a video game. Here are some of the best games set in India.
There's nothing wrong with stand-alone DLC, and nothing negative comes from it.
As the article points out, inFamous: First Light and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy are available on disc too, which emphasises how Sony considers them. I'm sure Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds will be a $40 disc release too.
The Lost Legacy is really pushing the standard though for what is considered as stand-alone DLC. It was just supposed to be a short expansion, and now it's a fully fledged 8-or-so hour game, like the Drake's Fortune. Great stuff.
Left behind is not one of the best games.
Combined with the story of the last of us it is. By itself it lacks the emotional impact and looses the novelty of gameplay changes in comparison to the main game. They belong together.
I could say the same about last light, minus the emotional impact.
All opinion, not fact. No use in getting upset 'cause you may not agree, I'd love to hear how I'm wrong though... In a civil manor.
Uh what? I personally haven't encountered this negative stigma you are referring to.
TLoU is one of my favorite games of all time, but I didn't really like Left Behind that much. I know that's an unpopular opinion, but I dunno, I thought the best thing about TLoU was the Ellie and Joel dynamic, and after playing through the game, and going to a DLC without Joel, just felt like a downgrade to me personally. I didn't think Ellie stood that well on her own. Maybe I'd feel the same way about a Joel solo experience as well, I dunno. There were parts of the game without Ellie and without Joel, but they were part of your goal, whereas there was a complete disconnect with the DLC. I understand that most people love it, and that's great, but just didn't enjoy it that much personally.
Its a nice trend giving single player fans more of what they want plus the value is amazing. You get a full game for dlc price. I'd rather drop 39.99 on an 8 to 10 hour campaign than a few map packs. I just picked up killzone intercept for like 5.99 can't wait to play it. That midyear sale is fantastic! So many good games dirt cheap.
