Simon Says: Looking For A Different Multiplayer Experience? Try "The Last Of Us"

GameNTrain author Simon Marshal writes: For many avid gamers out there, the release of Naughty Dog’s most recent game, The Last of Us (TLOU), was heralded as an amazing achievement in gaming. Many (including myself) were amazed at the game’s thoroughly emotional story and how everyone had a different experience while playing the game. Aside from the compelling and brilliant single player campaign, TLOU features an exciting and different multiplayer experience from anything I’ve played this generation.

wishingW3L4085d ago

it's good but it gets old fast tough.

JoGam4085d ago

I disagree. I got the game day one and Im still having a blast. I started playing no respawn about a week ago and thats intense.

mattdillahunty4085d ago

could you elaborate on why it gets old fast? i've played and beaten the campaign (absolutely loved it), but i never touched the MP since i'm not big on MP in general.

everything i've heard about the MP for The Last of Us has been positive, though.

KUV19774085d ago

As far as I am concerned there are too few maps. It's great to know the maps very well and be able to use all their features but there certainly need to be more maps. Also the meta-game surrounding the mp is way to superficial.

At least the map-problem should be taken care of with dlc.

pompombrum4085d ago

^^ I have to agree with this.. love the game but the lack of maps will hurt it soon. Fortunately the fantastic gameplay still keeps me coming back for more.

Genuine-User4085d ago (Edited 4085d ago )

Mostly it's the COD players that get bored of TLoU, not sure about you.

_QQ_4085d ago (Edited 4085d ago )

Or people who want a deeper online experience?.

Inception4085d ago (Edited 4085d ago )

Got old fast? I'm still have fun and intensely playing it (right now i'm on week 27*). And i saw a lot of people who play it too (it's fast and easy to find match in the lobby).

Maybe people who always got owned match after macth who felt TloU MP are boring / get old fast. Even though i'm understand it needs some new mode and maps. Well, ND already workin for it and i'm sure they will release it asap ;)

plaZeHD4085d ago

Personally I think it's addictive, and it only has two game modes, but still you don't want to put the controller down.

esemce4085d ago

True, I think when It clicks and you get good at it they your hooked. More modes and maps please Naughty Dog!

mayberry4085d ago

I agree! TLOU online is BOSS!

FullMetalTech4085d ago

I do agree its good to play non respawn cuz you need teamwork in that area. But there arent enough modes to keep the MP going. Only 2 modes can get slow to play after awhile.

plaZeHD4085d ago

Agreed. They need to add free multiplayer modes.

Bathyj4085d ago

I don't play Mp, have no interest in it since split screen died, but i have wondered why no one is really talking about the mp of last of us.

esemce4085d ago

I have not touched black ops 2 or BF3 since TLOU Mp and I have the cod season pass. Being into Gears and UC2's multiplayer style I love TLOU's gameplay and yes It does have too few Maps but that does not make it boring surprisingly I'm still loving it.

Hope they add some DLC maps soon though.

The Last of Us Part 1 (Extra/Premium) - September 26
Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (Premium) - TBA
Dino Crisis (Premium) - TBA

VersusDMC59m ago

Hopefully i get Dino Crisis for free as i bought the original PS1 classic on the PS3(like Sony did with Legend of dragoon) and they don't lock it to the Premium subscription like RE1 Directors cut.

But if i have to buy it again and it's 4.99 or 9.99 i won't lose any sleep rebuying.

jznrpg16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

When they put old games on PS plus they usually have trophies these days. I’m hoping Blood Omen and Dino Crisis also get trophies that would be great

Puty2h ago

Not necessarily. Only first party and handful of 3rd party titles from ps one era have trophies ... So many trophyless games in that bunch.

Scissorman32m ago

We really need a full-blown Dino Crisis remake.

spiderman 2 $40 from $70 so it's priced right now as a expansion pack like MM.,

andy8556d ago

Pretty decent expansion pack then saying i got 30-40 hours out if it.

just_looken56d ago

I can get 30hours out of a job outside does not mean it was good.

But i know no matter what i post or prove people love there nerfed spiderman or playing as a blind person for 5 hours then mary jane shehulk for another 12hours.

I am so glad today's "gamer" was not around for the ps3/360 era these new gamers are way to easy to please and have killed gaming.

andy8556d ago

It was good though. Are you actually saying it wasn't a good game? And blind? The person you play as was deaf and it was 10 mins not 5 hours. Doesn't seem like you've even played it by that comment. And MJ was...30 mins at most? Not sure how you get 40 mins into 17 hours exactly

CobraKai56d ago

@just_looken

I’ve been playing since the Sega Master System. I love Spiderman 2. There’s too much going for it to be a simple expansion pack. I felt Miles Morales could fall into the expansion pack range.

If you didn’t like it, it’s fine. That’s what’s great about opinions, there are no wrong ones, just different ones.

StormSnooper56d ago

You guys have to understand, they don’t have anything even close to it on his preferred system. There is a whole psychology behind his comment.

pwnmaster300056d ago (Edited 56d ago )

lol I was in the ps3/360 era and spider man 2 would of been a massive hit still.

Please don’t try to represent us gamers from that time. You are not a good example, always complaining and being negative lol.

CobraKai56d ago

@just
I mean, it’s New York. You can’t exactly change the map.

It sounds like you’re hard to please vs gamers being easy to please. You mentioned great games. Games whose sequels had very similar gameplay with each other with very minimal changes or upgrades.

Im with pwnmaster. Don’t speak for us. It sounds like probably only started gaming from PS360 era.

Rebel_Scum56d ago

Peter Parker lives in New York, where else do you expect the map to be?

Using the same map/location is not a problem.

On topic: In my region the base game is $80. Still not low enough for me to dive in. Not that Im in a rush. Havent even finished the 1st one’s dlc yet.

just_looken56d ago

The map still has asset's buildings the the first game its like madden yeah same stadium but can you change that madden 14 logo?

Not to mention they never added shield basses basically unique interiors you can explore off missions or add in jersey.

pwnmaster300056d ago

Sony pony??
Are you a child? Lmao

Just stop man. It’s embarrassing.
We can like games and not be a fanboy.
Gaming shouldn’t be taken this serious. Relax lol

"lol I was in the ps3/360 era and spider man 2 would of been a massive hit still.

You come at me calling me a bad example talking like this game is gods gift to us and on any sony article you defend them no matter what.

But now i am a child? what because i used logic again this site you throw facts at people they cry to the admins to get me off here again or play the victim card.

pwnmaster300056d ago (Edited 56d ago )

Lmao gods gift to us what. I said it would have been a massive hit not a perfect game. It’s a good game get over it.

And this is why I said what I said.
“ But i know no matter what i post or prove people love there nerfed spiderman or playing as a blind person for 5 hours then mary jane shehulk for another 12hours.”

And you’re still proving me right. God forbid people like a certain game.
And BS about me on every sony article defending them. I like games and praised every games I

“ But now i am a child? what because i used logic again this site you throw facts at people they cry to the admins to get me off here again or play the victim card.”

Your opinions are not facts and the fact you think they are is sad. Step off video games for awhile.

just_looken56d ago

Na its fine you go ahead belive 200 million dollars makes sense for 1 game when 80 created a trilogy on 360.

I live without blinders unlike others.

pwnmaster300056d ago (Edited 56d ago )

“I live without blinders unlike others.“
🤣😂🤣 thanks for the laugh. Have a good night brother. Fight that good fight your fighting.

repsahj56d ago

Saddest Xbox loyalist on N4G. XD

StormSnooper56d ago (Edited 56d ago )

He is a duplicate account. He changes names to get a new lease on life and people would respond to him. Sad indeed.

MetroidFREAK2156d ago

Definitely more than an expansion pack... the Miles Morales game from 2020 is that... ya silly goose

who is now the sole leader of Naughty Dog, “I promise you, we will not be ‘The Last of Us’ studio forever.” Numerous games, he said, are in the works, including “multiple single-player projects.

I know he has a celebrity like status but unless he's announcing his game soon idc what he has to say from this point on.

We need announcement something from him.

Crows90112d ago

The dude is a nobody. He's also wrong. Naughty dog is the uncharted and Jak daxter studio.

They only made one universally praised last of us game. They're not know as "the last of us studio" but they are currently known as the "remake" studio.

Lightning77112d ago

I like his games tbh I'm just more upset at the fact that he's been talking and talking and not showing anything. I'm an actual fan of his work, don't cars if that's that's a popular take or not.

If he has nothing to show or talk about. I don't care about his interviews, his red carpet appearances or what's next for last Of Us 2 TV, leave that to Hollywood. You don't see SP, Bend, or any other studio doing what he's doing. They're remaining quiet and focused as most PS studios do. He should do the same. The next thing I wanna hear him say is "now heres our game" we know that probably won't be for another year or so, so he needs to remain silent and stay out of the limelight for awhile.

AsunaYuukiTheFlash112d ago

You are wrong. LOU2 won a lot of GOTY and was highly rated. It's okay to dislike the game but saying that ND just made one critical acclaimed LOU game is just hating at this point.

rippermcrip113d ago

Kind of a weird interview. No substance, hardly any questions. It's almost like they forgot to post the whole thing or something.

neomahi113d ago

Oh brother...... It's like a balloon filling with helium. He's got nothing new to say. Naughty Dog went from being a studio of numerous developers to being about him and what HE does. Bruce Straley was the co-creator of The Last of Us, and he left--I think for the same reason Christophe Balestra left and since then, Naughty Dog haven't been the same. PlayStation is incredibly woke, as all businesses seem to be these days, ignorant to what's really going on sacrificing the greater for peanuts, but I think they left because of the uprising political atmosphere. They knew there was nothing they could do about it and an attempt to try and combat it, in today's society would end them up in legal trouble so, they just left, what else can you do when the opposition behaves like a child, screams and yells louder than you want to in raged fits, and will throw lawsuits at you at whatever chance they can, but you don't play that way, so they left. And Naughty Dog hasn't been the same since.

Naughty Dog was huge at one time! They were the underdog that became the top dog but, the direction it's fine, just watch and wait. It's ego, and Druckmanns ego of thinking they're untouchable and can just coast along, will drop them rock bottom, in due time, they could see the same fate as Xbox's teams met. Fans will turn on Naughty Dog because A) Naughty Dog aren't producing, they're not what they once were.
B) Gamers ARE growing tired of the woke culture overtaking their lifetime hobby. They're just more silent about it, it's the quiet cool

anast113d ago

Non of this makes sense. I would like to think you didn't spend too much time writing it.

Crows90112d ago

I hope you didn't spend much time reading..it...cuz obviously you didnt understand it. But that's okay. There's many other comments to read...

MIDGETonSTILTS17113d ago

You project your own views on the world, and that is a mistake.

Crows90112d ago

Um...so you project someone else view on the world? What are you talking about?! We all project our view on the world lol...smh

anast112d ago

It's called perspective. I understand that. But I don't understand the poster.

smashman98112d ago

you know it's not his fault that people are interested in what he says, right?

Also, Naughty Dog is bigger than ever.

Crows90112d ago

Smaller....where's their last big game? Yeah...I remember when they were actually releasing heavy hitters.

smashman98111d ago

@Crows90 It was in 2020 and despite what a vocal minority says it was critically acclaimed and the 2020 game of the year. Not only that but The Last of Us is also a critically acclaimed television series and PlayStation's most successful foray into Film and TV yet.

So yes, Naughty Dog is bigger than ever, and just because you don't vibe with them or whatever does not change that fact.

anast113d ago

He's a solid theatre arts person, but he's not a philosopher. Being good at one thing doesn't mean he's Descartes.

DarXyde112d ago

I believe that philosophers are more principled than Druckmann, to be honest. It's fascinating that The Last of Us Part II was literally inspired by the Israel-Palestine conflict and was a needed commentary on humanity and ending the cycle of violence, only to have some questionable commentary after 7 October.

I don't hate the guy as some others seem to. He's been a big part of some great games, but I'll never understand the obsession with hanging on all of his statements.

Chard112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

That's a good point in relation to 7 Oct - a far more important issue where valid criticisms could have been made of this guy, but most here seem thoroughly distracted by trivial issues

anast112d ago

@DarXyde

Like all artists he has a signature. People that have an agenda will try to look for that signature and use it. This is why a lot of "journalist/game influencers" hang on every word. Most of us just enjoy his work and get hyped when he mentions something about a possible new game.

@Chard
"a far more important issue where valid criticisms could have been made of this guy"

Which is?

MIDGETonSTILTS17113d ago

Sony should try and stay radio silence outside of hard reveals.

It’s painful to wait for any info at all, but it’s less painful than skimming an interview that avoids all details whatsoever.

Commit to radio silence, Sony. You can afford to leverage the trust in gaming output that you’ve cultivated.

anast112d ago

That wouldn't be a smart decision. There must be a constant stream of connection in today's world.

MIDGETonSTILTS17110d ago

When a constant stream of connection delays a game 1-2 years, and said games take 5 years to make anyways…. Sony fans are better off trusting Sony to deliver than expecting frequent confirmation.
