USGamer: The Last of Us Part II won’t have multiplayer (update: Naughty Dog responds. See threadmark)
- Thread starter Neat
- Start date
A lot of people trashing a MP mode they've never even played before Just because it wasn't the most popular MP game or you don't care much about MP doesn't mean it wasn't lit:
Entire channel dedicated to savagery:
yep - what is with all these stupid comments? ND especially has always tried to do well and do a lot when it comes to MP. Sometimes they have over done it, but the effort has always been there.

1) People do that all the time.
2) what is the discussion here? The game has no MP. Some people are (understandably) upset by that. Should this thread be only limited to them? What value is there is a "this sucks I liked the MP" post that isn't present in a "not a big deal for me I never liked the first games MP" post?
this thread is essentially turned into a back and forth of people being upset with each other for not liking the same things.
From that note we could have already known months ago that there will be no MP.
You're just proving my point. You never see this kind of elitism and snobbery from MP centric gamers in SP threads. You never see people say "We need multiplayer this game sucks without it!". Yet MP oriented gamers are the majority and all the biggest games in the industry are MP ones. Why the negativity? You're literally proud of hating what people enjoy.
Shit is actually disgusting.
Not surprised a cunty take like this is coming from a poster with an anime avy
That would make sense if they hadn't publically said there WOULD be multiplayer. Who are we going to believe the studio themselves or a single line in a blog post?
No, but it's clear they just didn't feel the need to for one reason or another.
I never said it was shoe horned in the first game, but this isn't the first game and not every game needs multiplayer just to tick a box.
I don't give a shit if you like the MP or not, but popping into comment on something you don't partake in or care about is worthless. You can boil down any discussion around negative announcements as worthless. It's shit posting.
Very similar. I mean what I played seemed great but I'm not a big multiplayer fan. Sucks for those wanting it and it's still a little disappointing to hear it won't have it. But the reason for TLOU is it's a fantastic narrative and gameplay experience as a single player game first and foremost.
I guess the great thing is that TLOU1 MP will be popping next week and for awhile up to release.
Bit of a shame, I played the first games multiplayer an absolute ton, one of the more unique multiplayer shooters out there which was unfortunately let down a bit by guns you had to pay for or use sub optimal premade loadouts to use. Still had a fantastic time with it though.
I am slightly hoping they will release a standalone multiplayer version but I don't think there's a chance of that happening.

Due to this news I might literally not buy one of my most anticipated games of the decade at launch. Why the hell did they talk about having MP at all then? Mystery.
They expressly said it was due to resources.
After all, they already said it had MP back in 2018.
" then there's no point wasting development time on it"
I dare say if there was something worth adding, they'd have found the resources.
Do you think there will be backlash that they didn't communicate this clearly before pre-orders went live? I pre-orderd collectors and of course still would have 100% even i knew no multiplayer but i think it feels like they kept it hush hush for long as they could.
...Resources aren't infinite. Your logic makes no sense.
..... fucking lame. Still crazy excited and super hyped to play but...
Lame. Factions is hands down my favorite multiplayer. I didn't imagine i'd have a negative response to anything about this game but ... here we are.

As someone who was looking forward to the mutiplayer almost as much as the campaign this is a HUGE dissapointment :'(
Absolutely gutted in this decision. TLOU had in my opinion one of the best multiplayer in a game last gen and for people saying it was just shoe horned in clearly did not play it if that is your conclusion. It won't stop me from getting the game but my hype has been severely deflated.
You're assuming Naughty Dog or Sony don't shut down the servers between now and then - don't want to confuse the first time players with a game feature that will no longer be included in the sequel!
That really sucks. This game is begging for a Ellie/Joel co-op mode
Maybe if fans bitch enough we'll get it. Naughty Dog has added post-launch multiplayer before.

There's a bunch of people saying that this is a net positive because more resources can be put towards the single player.
I have no idea how to make a game, but I did not think having an MP took away from TLoU singleplayer at all. Even the DLC was good for both the single player and MP. So to me it's a weird thing to say if you're someone who doesn't care about MP. Especially since the interview with the co-writer said their MP team is working on something. Makes all the "more resources for SP" look even sillier.
Weirdly enough, they had confirmed it would be in at E3 2018, which isn't exactly ages ago. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-last-of-us-2-has-multiplayer-naughty-dog-confi/1100-6459784/
That's too bad. I enjoyed Factions quite a bit, especially when I didn't expect to like it at all. That being said, I'm fine with this. TLOU series has always been a SP game first in my eyes, and I've got a ton of other MP games to play.
It's simple, single player got bigger than multiplayer to the point they have to focus on only SP, remember? Two Discs.
Nothing would be a bigger slap in the face to ND/Sony consumers than to release a "remastered" PS5 version with multiplayer for $60
I personally think that's PR spin. ND has a full team specifically for MP that I can't see contributing to the SP, hell they were still hiring for that team even recently. That being said if people come in and say "well that's good they can use that time to beef up the SP", while I don't see that as true, that's at least coming from a good space. Coming in to say "well I don't care because I never played this anyways" is useless. Again it's as if there was a game delayed or cancelled that you literally neve rplayed or had interest in just to post "well I never was interested anyway". pure shit posting.
