This gaming community is outrageous.
Stadia fans want me to pay $600 over 5 years for a digital console that only allows me streaming access to my games when I could buy a $500 physical console that allows both local and streaming access.
Now Sony fans want me to pay $60 for SP when I previously paid $60 for both SP and MP. This accepting less for the same price or an even higher price...when did we all sign off on this again??
Think I missed the memo.

You could always buy the game when it goes on sale. You won't miss out on a multiplayer curve either.

As a "Sony fan", I don't want you to spend a dime on this game. I want you to just go play Gears, stop with that faux outrage, and let me enjoy my games. You do you, I do me. No more judging.
There's your memo.

And it's probably fucking tedious like UC4 was.
Because games MUST have state of the art graphics and be made by 500 people.

Wut. There have been $60 singleplayer games for the last 13 years. The most profitable game of all time, GTAV, launched without multiplayer.
You didn't miss the memo. You were in cryogenic sleep.

Sucks, I really liked the MP of the first one, ended up being one of my most played online games on Ps3.
I had already decided not to renew my Ps+ when it runs out in November because I don't play multiplayer that much anymore (and the games I do play online are also on PC where I can do so for free). A solid followup to the TLOU multiplayer might have convinced me to re-subscribe, but I guess that won't be necessary.
Still looking forward to the SP

People get tons of hours out of a game like GTA. Terrible example to use imo.

Seems like an odd move considering the first games multiplayer was well liked. Or is it one of those things where very few people played it, it just had a vocal community?
I think either way, this is probably a 3-6 month free DLC in order to just get the game out and prevent further delays

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Fans of Naughty Dog's MP are hurt by this but it isn't a game changing move.

Agreed. They will completely ignore it.

Developers were taking resources away from single-player games to cram some stupid online crsp in games that didn't need them in an attempt to lessen used games sales.
I'm glad to see great single-player experiences such as God of War, Spider-Man and Horizon: Zero Dawn have proven this is unnecessary.
I'll be there with millions others on day one. If anything, this news makes me more excited.

Wow. A big loss for me, TLOU was one of my favourite multiplayer EVER, it was unique.
I guess I can wait for price drop on the game.

That is a problem because a lot of the time they MP modes would suck. Not the case with TLOU.

There are many people that enjoyed the multiplayer as much if not more than the campaign, so it is a game changing move as it was part of the overall experience. Okay, so maybe game changing might be too strong of a word but there was a decent community built around the multiplayer for that game (I didn't care for the game myself).

Why support having half of the content of a studio's past 3 games?
I know it's rumors, but if it's really just a mere 17 hours... how is this game worth $60 without an online component? No Co-Op? What were they thinking?

Me too. Question is few months down the road or a year.

I can't believe that Microsoft couldn't even achieve 3 player splitscreen for TLoU2 after they did it for Gears 5 on X1.
Is TLoU2 even going to be 60 fps splitscreen on Pro?
MS are letting themselves down.

Thats extremely disappointing but if Uncharted 4s multiplayer is anything to go by they would have fucked it up anyway

They’ll probably just add it post launch before or near any single player expansion.
I also wouldn’t be amazed or surprised if ND is holding off on the multiplayer for when the PS5 to launches. It could be any number of things really but I do think there will be a multiplayer at some point for this game.

Your point? Whats wrong with any of that? (aside from that its barely on topic)
We got gay marriage and somehow western civilization didn't crumble. A lesbian in a AAA game isn't gonna crash the industry either.

The Last of Us Part 2 Won't Have Multiplayer After All [Update]
Updated: Naughty Dog also released its own statement on the matter this evening. It sounds like the expanded multiplayer may find its way into a standalone p...www.usgamer.net
UH
WHAT THE FUCK LOL
They'll put it out for DLC when the PS5 comes out next Holiday season.

If the vice-president at Naughty Dog says that there's no multiplayer in The Last of Us - Part II, then there's no multiplayer. It's that simple. Why else risk a blowback? If the multiplayer component internally is planned to release at a later date, don't you think they would've come out and said that instead of upsetting their fanbase?
Personally I think the single player- and multiplayer components became equally ambitious and they had to scale back. Now that doesn't necessarily mean the multiplayer component got canceled - I mean it could, but I don't think so - what I choose to believe, is that Naughty Dog has decided to make it its own thing, 'a standalone multiplayer game set in the world of The Last of Us', which will release 1-1½ years after The Last of Us - Part II.
2013: The Last of Us
2014: The Last of Us: Left Behind (standalone DLC)
2016: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
2017: Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (standalone DLC)
2021: Untitled The Last of Us multiplayer game

- "Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a new adventure in the series starring Chloe Frazer. The game will be offered as both a stand-alone title and as part of the Uncharted 4 season pass---though you only have until December 13th to purchase the season pass or the Digital Deluxe version of the game which comes with the season pass."

Just because they remove something doesn't mean something else gets extended.

I'm glad they're focusing on what counts. The Sony first party games of the last few years have mostly been sans multiplayer and as a result sans loot boxes/MTX, they want to make premium campaign experiences and I'm glad that's their goal.

Ppl talk straight shit sometimes. Your talking about top tier devs that have dozens of ppl under them tht do specific things. Having a mp would have not taken resources away except maybe money that they have in abundance, you have specific ppl tasked with things like the mp aspect. Again tlou had a great campaign, as well as a great mp thts what made it special and reviewers definitely mentioned the sublime mp in their reviews. An mp better than most the trash, generic mp's u see lately from established ips that have done nothing with their mp's but made them a little shinier.

Im gonna wait to play the game to really form a proper opinion. Its always worse get less content in a game. One thing for sure, people need to stop that mantra of " good, no multiplayer means a better single player" cause that can't be proved.
"Yeah i assume that they put all the resourses on the campaing equals a better game", guess what, we know shit on what developers gonna use that time. Maybe they debug, maybe they add a shitty section of the game that no one cares only for extend the length. Dont know.
I guess they want to pack a larger more solid single player game without multiplayer. They better no had the nerve of put a fucking 10gb day one patch.
