The single player totally stands up on its own, but I am very disappointed by this.

A few less annoying trophies then lol.
Really weird to do this though, sony don't give a shit about MP in their first party it seems.

Sounds good to me, didn't care for the MP in the first game and I'd rather have them focus all their efforts on making the single player as good as possible.

I loved the MP in TLoU but I to be honest I am more than okay with this. I loved the actual game more and the market has too many MP games at the moment anyway so I'm good.

Are the servers for the first game still up? This kind of makes me want to revisit it as I do have some fond memories of Factions when it first dropped on PS3.

Surprising and extremely disappointing. TLOU MP was amazing.

Maybe in the PS5 version...

Good.

Maybe they'll release a stand alone mp a few months down the road.

Guys, it's coming with the PS5 port. I am sure they started working on MP but all the resources were pulled off that because they wanted to ship on PS4 before PS5. It's probably coming on PS5 2021/2022 while they're on pre-production on their first true PS5 game.
Source? If don't have one, you shouldn't continue to post as if you are an insider like that

If they had to develop multiplayer we probably would have to wait another 2 years so... Cool I guess. But imagine the huge campaign. I really believe we will get younger Ellie and separate older-buff Ellie stories :)

I thought the first game's MP was well liked though.

Could it be an end of gen thing?

The ming-bogggling part is sony's flaw this gen was MP games. Their one exclusive that had good MP, they didn't care to add to the sequel... just boggling.

This is a bummer, TLOU MP was one of the best multiplayer games ever.

Hopefully Naughty Dog has an online team working on some kind of standalone MP game.

What a fucking bummer. First games multi was it. Really fun.

Might wait for a sale on this one now. We'll see how it goes.

Crazy to think that uncharted 4 has been the last first party Sony game to have mp (I believe excluding mlb). The last of us' multiplayer was one of the best. It was like spies vs mercs. Just hope future Sony first party games don't start neglecting multiplayer

This is pretty wrong. Uncharted 2 was great even during Gears of War era. Uncharted 3 less so, but still very fun to play

*in my opinion.

I thought UC2 and UC3 were awful. I play a lot of multiplayer games and it just never felt good to me. Poorly balanced and just meh.

I want Sony to drop a proper MP game. I'd even take a killzone.

A shame because the original was pretty fun and had a lot of fans, but I can't say I ever put much time into it.

I thought TLoU multiplayer was unique but it never grasped me.
I feel bad for those that enjoyed it though and were hoping the sequel will have it.

There aren't a lot of stealth/survival based deathmatch games out there. It was really unique and really well done. It was like the perfect marriage of the concepts in the single player applied to multiplayer.

I hate takes like this. "i didn't like it, but other people did, who gives a shit? It matters what I like" The MP did NOT take away from the SP in any way in the first game. It was one of the best MP experiences this gen, there are very few team oriented tactical shooters on console that play like TLOU mp.

I imagine the new tech they're working with made multiplayer impossible unless they were willing to make it look significantly worse when compared to the main game.

Personally I never touched the MP for the first game but I was looking forward to whatever the sequel was going to have. The remaster still has multiplayer though and it's going to get a bunch of new players soon due to PS+ so I'll probably get my fill there.
