The Last of Us 2 Factions 2 Was in Development for 4 Years, Cancellation Resulted in Heads Rolled

The Last of Us 2 Online mode often referred to as Factions 2 was said to be in development for four years, with a team "in the hundreds."

TheNamelessOne44d ago

The original was so good. What was the issue here? All they had to do was basically recreate what they already did.

Lightning7744d ago

Not that simple Sony wanted a LS Factions. Not just a recreated Factions 1.5

All ND multiplayer were top notch!! Uncharted were so fun and engaging. Online coop was a total blast 💥

Maybe they were trying to release Factions 2 as a gaas using the name of the series as a selling point and didn’t work out?

StormSnooper43d ago

I think they simply were not happy with the end product and decided not to dilute a masterpiece of an IP with something lackluster.

Jin_Sakai44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

“The original was so good. What was the issue here?”

This issue is that Instead of making improvements upon Factions they chose to go big and chase GaaS.

shaenoide43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

@StormSnooper The game is dead. To be successful a Gaas needs regular content. And you need a lot of people for that. Palworld is another exemple not enough content the game is dead too.

StormSnooper43d ago

No, gaas is not the problem. There are good gaas games. Helldivers is an example.

Cacabunga43d ago

Storm

There are also so many trash ones.. what are you trying to say?

Crows9043d ago

Leadership....that's it. After 4 years...it's all on leadership.

isarai43d ago

Well with how much care part 2 had put into it, I think they just decided to put factions to the side to get that over the finish line. Then shortly after they wanted to expand the multiplayer which delayed it even more. And then they wanted to convert it into a games as a service title which I think changing gears that many times just shattered what was there and just wasn't coming back together well enough to ship

jambola43d ago

Even if they wanted a full version, I wish they could have put a smaller version in the game, even as a teaser
at least then we could have the same as the first game

jambola43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

@shaenoide
dead? Palworld literally has 20k people playing at this moment on steam alone
that's huge, in what world is that "dead"

Shoulda kept it simple and released a new Factions with the Remaster.

RaidenBlack44d ago

Incomplete Factions 2.0 is still >>> Concord

babadivad43d ago

What, you don't want to play as a robot with pronouns???

generic-user-name43d ago

This, the only heads that should roll are the ones who greenlit Concord while letting Factions get cancelled.

Chocoburger44d ago

They didn't need to go LIVE SERVICE route. Just release it as a standard multi-player game without the GAAS trash.
An unbelievable waste of time and money all for nothing.

attilayavuzer43d ago

Really an incredible bag fumble by Sony here. A sequel to a beloved multiplayer mode of a beloved franchise. This should've been a lay up that printed money for them. Only potential silver lining is that ND isn't stuck in GaaS development purgatory for the next 10 years supporting it.

Crows9043d ago

But they need competent people heading the studio....otherwise it breaks down...

Cacabunga43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

Herman and Jim decided otherwise..
i am actually glad the gaas obsession seems to have vanished from Sony plans with all these miss ups

Playing The Last of Us Part II Is Different After Watching The Show

Has HBO’s The Last of Us show changed fans’ thoughts on Naughty Dog’s sequel, The Last of Us Part II? Maybe.

"Everyone in the world of The Last of Us sequel is miserable in one way or another. I mean, it’s the end of the world, we understand that, but there came a time when the game felt like it was written by Garth Ennis – and that’s not always a good sign."

It is not close to feeling like Garth Ennis's comic book style. Garth is a good writer and his writing isn't all tension either, and the same with Druckman's Last of Us II. In romantic comedies, there are comedic tension and rejection with bouts of misery. In dramas, there are bouts of comedic relief among tension, which are also in the game and this awareness is a good sign.

In the end, everyone dies and everyone is miserable at some point in time, even more so in an apocalypse. However, life is mixed with happy moments while entropy is moving in the background, such as a nice time with family and laugh shared amongst friends and so on, which are in the game.

probably waiting for the new season to air

just_looken112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

Your right as soon as the hype wheel is ready for that show there going to drop it on pc.

But the real question is will this pc port be able to run 1080p on a 4090 as the last naughty dog pc port they helped make it was a dumpster fire.

Like i said before the current naughty dog team is just a glorified port studio but even then they have a hard time actually doing it right.

Yes ps blind boys naughty dog worked on pc ports

neutralgamer1992112d ago

Looken

Your information is good but you need to stop calling names and start trying to have a real conversation. Fanboys of any product are extreme but that doesn't mean vast majority of gamers are just that "gamers"

RaidenBlack113d ago (Edited 113d ago )

... and the water's wet
But I'd prefer the Uncharted trilogy port over this one, tbh
Just porting Uncharted 4 and 4.5 to PC was not the best idea.

Inverno113d ago

Water isn't wet, but definitely want he Uncharted trilogy on PC.

truthBombs113d ago

Original Uncharted trilogy is my fav of the series. That is a worthy port to PC not 4 imo

just_looken112d ago

No doubt they need more help as the og's left the building so the uncharted 1-3 port would take actual skill/knowledge along with the source code/audio files/voice files.

If only niel D lost didn't loose over 80% of the team that made the company he is "running" and turned into a port studio.

Doge113d ago

It'll probably be announced and released on Friday.

Inverno113d ago

Yeah it could be a game fest announcement and release.

fsfsxii113d ago

Hope the PC crowd enjoy 4 year old leftovers lmao

DustMan113d ago

The PC master race looks down upon you mockingly knowing they are in every way superior gamers to you console simpleton.

ocelot07113d ago

Even the ones that have a £50 dell Optiplex and put in a 1650 that's weaker than a series S?

RaidenBlack112d ago

@ocelot07
Yes,
Atleast they dont make comments like the above.

truthBombs113d ago (Edited 113d ago )

for everytime you say that, the library of PS games on PC grows bigger. This year, Helldivers 2, Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima, GOW Ragnarok has a release date for this year and now TLOU2? Hmm.

Potentially 6 titles in one year. It keeps stacking.

Aphrodia112d ago

DON'T FORGET ABOUT CONCORD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

Cockney112d ago

Pc guys are loving it right now, banger after banger its one hell of a year

just_looken112d ago

If only the new sony leadership was not hell bent on region locking down there pc games to avoid better sales and get more ps accounts even though pc players do not want a jank exposed ps account that has all there personal info ready for another data breach and or just gets sold off.

I still and will never link my old ps account to my steam account the sony tos is to strict i do not want to get my ps account banned because i left my vpn on or sony things rgb is a hacker tool or some other BS.

Tedakin112d ago

When TLOU2 is announced, Spider-Man 2 will be pretty much the only notable PS5 first party game not on PC.

Lmao you probably bought this twice because ps5 have nothing good to play. My backlog of games is too big for me to even care it exists on PC let alone how bad the first one launched on PC. Sony wouldn’t be releasing it on pc if they didn’t need $$$

PrinceOfAnger113d ago

Will you enjoy Gears 5 and Sunset over drive + Ori games on PS5 after 3/5 years?
