A Handful of the PS4’s Best Games Are Stand-alone DLC

"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

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.

FullmetalRoyale2852d ago (Edited 2852d ago )

That's true. Without the foundation it flounders. It doesn't make it any less good, but the main story IS essential.
*Lost Legacy may be the exception. I like me some Chloe, but I certainly don't have an emotional attachment to the character, like I do with some others.

TFJWM2851d ago

Hmm you make a decent point but...You say its great combined with story of the last of us but then say it lacks the emotional impact and looses the novelty of gameplay to the main game. If you have never played the main game you don't know it lacks the impact and the novelty of the gameplay wouldn't be lost. Taken on its own it should still be great because it does those things just not to such a degree as in the main game...

Injusticewarrior2851d ago (Edited 2851d ago )

True enough.

TheOttomatic912852d ago

Uh what? I personally haven't encountered this negative stigma you are referring to.

bluefox7552852d ago

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.

They really need to

Go off the evil ending off Second Son

Delsin absorbs all those powers

Revealed he’s the real Beast and John in Infamous 2 was just an anomaly created by timelines being messed with by Kessler.

Cole vs the Real Beast

gold_drake281d ago

quite honestly, i dont remember a whole lot about 2 amymore, but i absolutely hated the guy in second son haha.

chicken_in_the_corn280d ago

It would make more sense to go off the evil ending of 2 and the good ending g of SS where Cole is The Beast.

Cacabunga279d ago

Doesnt make any sense calling second son 2 as infamous 3..

OtterX280d ago

Ha, yea Delsin was obnoxious.

I wouldn't mind another new character, but somehow bring Cole into the story.

We can just pretend like Delsin never existed. :)

thejigisup280d ago

Everyone that age is obnoxious. It's been years and is like to think delsin has grown

neutralgamer1992280d ago

Until we wait for a potential new entry it would awesome to have infamous collection for PS5

RaidenBlack280d ago

Umm ... how about this?
First we get the Tushima sequel(coz its most rumored)
Then a new Resistance (need new PS SP FPS)
Then a totally new IP (new IPs are always interesting)
And then a new inFamous?

Pepsi_Man3000280d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx280d ago

Can we also get a complete remaster of InFamous 1 and 2?

fr0sty279d ago

Gimme a new Warhawk and MAG while we're at it.

DivineHand125280d ago

I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.

DazaMc280d ago

The graphics were amazing, I got the platinum on that one. Very good.

ChasterMies280d ago (Edited 280d ago )

If I had a choice between another Infamous game and another Spider-Man game, I choose Spider-Man. Sony should spend its resources on its winners.

Tacoboto280d ago (Edited 280d ago )

Infamous was such a winner its studio was given the freedom (after 3 titles + their expansions) to do a new IP with GoT, just like with Sly Cooper before infamous.

I'd welcome a 4th title even more than another Spider-Man, it'd be exciting what they could do with new powers fit for the hardware outside the limits of a licensed superhero game.

jznrpg280d ago

Spider-Man is guaranteed and is made by Insomniac so why not both as Sucker Punch would make Infamous.

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*

Classic outfit has never been beaten

MehmetAlperTR518d ago

Naughty Dog Is Right To Leave Uncharted Behind

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 ?

Cikatriz_ESP815d ago

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.

Kassanova07815d ago

A classic series for the ages.
