We will verify that when it will be announce.
It will probably be F2P and release for PC too. That's their best chance to make a really successful multiplayer game.I suspect Sony will try to make TLOU Online a $60/$70 game, just like GT7.
Not really. It’s a separate game.Is it really "The Last of Us 2" at this point? Surely it will be completely separate from that game this long after.
$$$ and portfolio diversityI wish I cared. To me, naughty dog are all about big budget high production single player games. Why are they doing a multiplayer only standalone game?
Yeah ithey probably rebooted the entire thing. It went from a simple multiplayer mode to something way bigger in scale.Crazy, if all this stuff was just scrapped. I mean they obviously had a ot of this built and its been, what, 2 years from launch?
Really? Uncharted 2 and TLOU multiplayer were amazing if i remember it right. I was hooked in both of them and had no complains. Didn't care much for Uncharted 3 and Uncharted 4 multiplayer but it was a "me" problem tbh...The Last of Us BR would be fucking sick. But judging Naughty Dog trash support for their MP modes, I'm very skeptical.
This could actually make sense if they do it right
The most important part of "DOING IT RIGHT" would be to put it out as F2P or at 'worst' free for all PS+ subscribers.
Nah. If it’s fun people will pay. And Sony wants PS Plus subs. Can’t be free to play.The most important part of "DOING IT RIGHT" would be to put it out as F2P or at 'worst' free for all PS+ subscribers.
Hard disagree.
The most important part of "doing it right" is making a fun game people want to play for months or years on end.
The payment model is far less vital.

Making it a PS Plus game is fine tho. Worked well for Rocket League, etc.
They probably won’t drop it on Plus day 1 because they will want day 1 sales to recoup dev costs. (It’s like a 100 million game.)Okay......I thought the "make it fun" went without saying. But the payment model is VERY vital. This is where Sony needs to put up or shut up when it comes to their subscription model. kyliethicc is right that it can't be F2P though. So making it a PS+ drop is a must. It'll tell me all I need to know about their plans for PS Spartacus.
There’s leaks / info showing some kind of co-op “Expedition“ mode.Coop, Pve, missions, story and raids please.
Plus classic pvp modes and battle royal lol

Ghost of Tsushima Legends just went to Plus recently. Could be indicative, timing wise.
Easier to drop Destruction Allstars on it day 1 since that was a budget game.
There’s leaks / info showing some kind of co-op “Expedition“ mode.
And mentions of TDM and a battle royale mode too in the TLOU2 code.
Some kind of story content could be attached the PvE co-op thing.
The really cool shit would be PvPvE. 2 teams and infected.
They are probably gonna package tlou 1 remake, tlou 2 enhanced and factions for 70 usd ( yes please). Factions will also be free to play maybe for the second tier and above psplus.
I thought uncharted 4 multiplayer was great too. Is it totally dead now? Esp after Naughty Dog just split the playerbase further with the U4 remaster which doesn't include multi?Yeah ithey probably rebooted the entire thing. It went from a simple multiplayer mode to something way bigger in scale.
This needs to be multiplatform between PS4, PS5 and PC day one. (hopefully no crossplay with PC or at least allow us to choose)
I seriously think this could be a huge hit for Sony if they play their cards right. Just...don't sell this as a full game while monetizing it as a F2P. Somehow i'm scared they could try that.

Better not fucking force cross play with PC like a lot of devs have do e recently. It doesn't even need to be forced to create an unfair situation. Simply having cross play set as the default setting is enough to permanently skew a game towards being cross-play vs PC. Look at BF 2042 and Halo Infinite. Both cross play situations were "optional" but not really. Try to play against only console as a console player and see if you can find matches ...Yeah ithey probably rebooted the entire thing.

Yeah if they put this out at a premium price point only it will be a mistake.This is where Sony needs to get their heads out of their butts. They'll recoup dev costs if they can have 50+ million people on PS+ Extra and Premium subs. The money will be there. But you also put it on PS+ day one to increase the player base numbers for this multiplayer game.
If Sony doesn't, it'll show me that they are lost and don't understand the full gaming industry anymore.
Sony showcase. Probably September.Why is ND being so quiet, damn. Give an update on something
Apart from people on gaming forums - would the general public care about this now??? Or even want it?
Yeah if they put this out at a premium price point only it will be a mistake.
I think it should be cut price.So what would you have Sony do?
Naughty Dog have said it’s stand alone.I think it should be cut price.
Even if it comes bundled with TLOU remake, I still don't think it should be £70, and I don't think it would go down well with gamers.
$20 as a starting price would be OK before adding it to Plus upper tiers later. I'm guessing no PC version so it's important they pull in lots of players early on. As is often the case in transition periods, not that many games are being bought for the older console.Naughty Dog have said it’s stand alone.
I’ll guess this is what happens.
TLOU Online $20 PS4 PS5. Stand alone, like Ghost of Tsushima Legends, Red Dead Online, etc.
TLOU (remake) $70 PS5. Includes TLOU Online.
TLOU2 Director‘s Cut $60 PS4 $70 PS5. Includes TLOU Online. Upgrade path from TLOU2.

wait FREE to play games … are … free? lolThe most proffitable F2P games are free
Sony wants to force Plus subs. Has to be a paid game.Red Dead / GTA Online can get away with it 'cause Rockstar. It sells easily.
But Sony would be dumb to make us pay for TLOU Online.
lol, brain fartwait FREE to play games … are … free? lol
It can be free and require PS PlusSony wants to force Plus subs. Has to be a paid game.
I think the production values are going to be on a different level to Fortnite and Rocket League etc, hence me highlighting my willingness to pay a small fee.The most proffitable F2P games are free

Put microtransactions and make the game as acessible as possible.
GOT Legends is PVE, so it makes sense, you buy it if you want to play co op with friends and etc., doesnt need to be populated
GTA Onlinelol, brain fart
I meant online games in general are more successful when f2p
Nope. None of those free to play games require PS Plus.It can be free and require PS Plus
Rocket League, for example
Fortnite also required Plus despite being free, but dont know if they changed it

Extra.Even more of a reason to put it on the PS+ Premium service day one.
Yeah the last time the public got early info on a TLOU game, it went over really well. lolIt's really weird that Sony is developing a multiplayer game like this without making any info public, seems like a big risk for this sort of game to not get some early feedback from the general public.
