YEESSSSSS! Awesome news! Can't wait to play these maps

 

[Ingueferroque]

The right thing to do, thanks!

 

[Takuan]

Should've came with the game. Nice gesture though.

 

[EL CUCO]

Should've came with the game. Nice gesture though.

Why should it have came with the game?

We got all the DLC maps and Left Behind already in one package.

They worked on additional maps as post release support.

Maps that didn't exist at the time of release should have came with the game? Good to know.

 

[gotstrangepowers]

On previous question:

 

[toastyToast]

Great. More content keeps people playing and recommending the game to their friends without the caveat that they'll have to splurge on a bunch of DLC just to be on level footing.

Because they said multiple times we wouldn't have a split player base.

 

[Simo]

Cool. Their updates have been improving matchmaking for myself and my friends so kudos to ND.

I take it the new maps aren't actually out yet?

 

[demosthenes]

Awesome ND.

More games need free maps. Monetize the hell out of cosmetics. Leave the maps free

 

[MMaRsu]

Sweet! Should have been standard because why would you ever want to split your userbase??? Please keep all extra maps free yo.

And improve that matchmaking or Ill sell the damn game!!!

Killjoy on:

Shouldn't it go Banderas ---> Joel Banderas ---> Lego Joel Banderas to represent the evolution of the meme? Always bugged me about this gif.

Killjoy off.

 

[Juan_Solo]

Great news. They need to release these before Destiny comes out!

 

[alexbull_uk]

Holy crap, based ND.

 

[ChuckNyce]

This is awesome. Charge all you want for hats and gestures but keep the maps free so the player based isn't screwed.

 

[MMaRsu]

What the hell where is that from lol

I think it's arranged in order of visual complexity from Lego>Joel>Antonio

What does this have to do with having the maps at release? Unless I'm misunderstanding something here. Can they not release maps post launch for free? That doesn't fragment the community.


Edit: OK I see what you're getting at. I was always under the impression that they'd be free, for some reason.

 

[DoubleTake]

Awesome Naughty Dog!

 

[Wario64]

Site went down.

But the URL is still broken regardless if the site is down

 

[QTrain]

Looks like it's back.

[Pattycakes]

Best news I've heard all day.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Is it coming with free weapons/loadout perks as it should be? Cool that they're doing it though.

EDIT: Page is loading as fast as the matchmaking on TLOUR.

 

[RoboPlato]

Whoops. Fixed

 

[a916]

Edit: Nevermind

 

[Garrett 2U]

That's awssome, I wish studios would do this more often.

 

[GremlinFool]

If only the multiplayer wasn't so dreary

That's freaking hilarious! Cranston is going to win another emmy this year.

Nice seeing Naughty Dog doing right for their fans. I'll be playing some more multiplayer once this releases.

 

[Kinyou]

Makes up a little for the microtransactions crap. Good work Naughty Dog.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I don't think they mean that all maps going forward will be free... Just that these two will be as a sorry for the poor matchmaking.

 

[Shig]

"It's too bad our dang game didn't work like it should have, we'd have had no qualms with charging you then."

It's a nice gesture, but it's rather ignoble that it's being framed so squarely as an apology offering, rather than as any sort of hardline stance against the act of splintering a game's MP community.

 

[NastyBook]

#fortheclickers

hehehehe

Congrats on not splitting the player base, Naughty Dog!

 

[ComputerBlue]

Awesome, hopefully we get them soon.

 

[Haines]

Great. Was looking forward to mp so much and was let down. A fix and free maps will be nice.

 

[bombshell]

They listened! YES, thank you Naughty Dog, this is the right decision to not split the community in Remastered.

 

[Creaking]

Good, they're learning. This is the direction all map-based multiplayer games should take. Maybe Call of Duty and Battlefield are able to keep getting away with it, but smaller (multiplayer) titles can not risk their ability to grow.

 

[quickwhips]

So the Sony API sucks and this is why the matchmaking sucks. If this is be believed how is matchmaking in other games. I know dynasty warriors sucked but don't have anything else to judge it by.

 

[arne]

Should've came with the game. Nice gesture though.

Should have come with the game? the maps weren't done!

 

[bombshell]

Any pics, or flythroughs, or... release date?

They teased the 2 maps when Remastered released:

Had no problems on Killzone or BF4 (now). BF4 had glitches but those were issues that they had on all platforms in the beginning.

 

[kinoki]

Didn't you hear? GAF rather wants a game delayed for 2 years rather than let it have DLC.

 

[Ravage]

Excellent news.

 

[bombshell]

Killzone Shadow Fall, even with its seemingly low MP player base, has always found a match for me instantly.

 

[arne]

okay then, we'll hold the game back until we've finished all the DLC. but we'll let you know the game is ready and we're just holding on to it.

Either way, enjoy the maps!

 

[Flarin]

Great news. This is literally the only multiplayer mode I've ever been hooked on. Looking forward to the new maps.

 

[Hypemaster]

HELL YEAH!

 

[Cheese Sandwich]

This will be good. Can't wait.

 

[QuantumBro]

Yay, bitching at Naughty Dog finally worked. Now to never play the maps since I suck at TLoU multiplayer.
