Uncharted 4 multiplayer detailed
- Thread starter Putty
- Start date
You're getting less for your dollar. ND set the standard themselves. Compared to rip offs like Battlefront sure...it's brilliant.
Overall package (as of 2017) does not seem less for my dollar.
Relative to what?
Because if it's relative to Uncharted 2 and 3, there is no way to spin it = You're getting less up front. If you stick long enough with Uncharted 4 then you could say that by Autumn, U4 reached parity (that's, if you stick long enough - majority of players will not). Then you come around and ask yourself, well what about all of that additional DLC released for Uncharted 3 and 2 in similar timelines... guess you could make an exception with U4 SP DLC to make up for that and call it square by Autumn.
Relative to what I deem worth my dollars. We have by all accounts a longer single player than all the other Uncharted games and on top of that we are getting multiplayer, albeit not complete but they will be fleshing it out over the next year for free. Sounds like they will keep me involved in the game for months to come and not nickle and dime the MP experience.

The MP is definitely sparse in terms of playlist compared to UC2 or 3 but I think they made up for it by providing post launch DLC for free and a meatier SP game. So in the long run, by fall 2017, you'll have had a beefier game with free stuff. Plus, imo the quality of the MP is much better than the crap in UC3.
Ohh for sure....I'm a ND sucka and I'll buy it. In its current form relative to the rip offs going around this gen, it's a good package. I am just blowing off steam cause CO-OP to me is as big as normal MP - the 4-5 month wait is a tough pill to swallow - not to mention the other MP modes missing. As for the SP campaign...all that matters is whether it's great or not. Could be 4 hours longer than U2 or TLOU, but if it ain't great...meh. Seems to be around the same ballpark which is good and the impressions are great so far. With regards to SP - it's what I've come to expect...greatness. Nothing more, nothing less.

Yeah, I noticed that but I wonder if they are going to bring some old modes back or not.
Well they are
Look like I really missed out a lot did I?

Regarding past UCs having more content:
This is ND's first real PS4 game. You cant expect them to match all the content of past games
UC2 was so feature full because ND already had a base with UC1.
Not sure why people are thinking that they are purposely withholding content. I assume the content is being worked on as it comes out.

I voted with Battlefront and other games. ND's got me by the balls here tho...would be no different than buying TLOU for that matter (of which I'll argue has a better MP, despite its piss-poor mode selection). It's no sin to recognize you're getting less than before, and blow off steam...instead of well, cheering the fact, or looking the other way as if it didn't happen. You still buy it because it's the best in one particular regard, but you're no fool.

Don't get the hate on content, Rainbow 6 Siege has far less and is an MP centric game.

So the triple pack isn't really worth it then? I guess you still need to buy it for the singleplayer addon, but with the MP content being available to everyone it doesn't really seem worth £20 (I totally agree with their decision to make everything available to all, though).
Umm, what??

Should replace Ellie (because she's too small) with a Clicker
I hate this line of thought. First of all, me or him or someone else isn't naive enough to think that our not buying it would change anything. Second, it discourages any kind of critical thought. "Don't like this thing about the game you otherwise are incredibly excited for? Don't buy it. Problem solved. Don't complain" It's laughable.

Vs AI (Terrorist hunt)
Vs other players (Multiplayer)
Tutorial (Situations)
Deathmatch: (Hostage, Secure Area, Bomb)
Still a great game which I'll keep playing til UC4 multiplayer arrives but it really is just all about deathmatch.

They won't include adult Ellie for a number of reasons. It would make people think TLoU2 was confirmed as well as making them think that adult Ellie is the lead. Plus if adult Ellie is the lead, I think they'd want the debut trailer to be the first time that we saw her as an adult.

How much smaller is Ellie than Elena because Elena is actually small as hell next to Nate.

sucks that it's been in dev so long and they can't have features that U2 and U3 had at launch
Where is the triple pack £20?
The Digital Deluxe edition is 14.99 more than standard edition. It was obvious that the triple pack was mainly for the SP DLC with that price.
Of course whether it's worth it depends on what the SP DLC will release for, but I can't see it being less than 14.99. Left Behind launched for 14.99. So a repeat of that SP DLC price means that you get the MP items as a bonus.

This campaign is apparently much larger in scope than any the trilogy though. Not sure if they have a separate team dedicated to MP. If it is matter of what they had time to get done and hit this release date then it was the right decision. I sure as Hell would not want to wait until Fall for a few more multiplayer modes to be added.

And also a great way to keep the community alive since new contents are going to be added after launch.
I don't see the problem.
It's not like the game is copy paste of UC2/3's template - they're clearly providing a much meatier single player with more open levels. And the multiplayer component is there at launch.
Your point would be valid if this was just a re-skinned uncharted 3, but suffice to say, it's not.

It is a separate team by the way SP devs talk about MP, but afaik, MP team doesn't get anywhere close to the resources SP team has. Eg. all the assets they use to make MP maps can are repurposed SP assets.
Ah, reminds me of the Goldeneye method - where one guy crafts the multiplayer component single handedly.
I personally liked how they approached it in Uncharted 3. Somp Party banter, different scenerios like starting a chapter where your hands are tied and you have no gun, so you struggle free and beat the patrol guy to get a gun. There were bosses too in the last chapter, although more in the form of very strong mob. The chapter areas were mostly reused locations from Uncharted 1, 2 and 3 but for an extra mode, this was well done despite there not being much to it.
Also there were rewards too like treasures for unlocking customizations and a prestige like star besides your name for completing co-op in Crushing.

Sounds positive, but I wonder how they fund that then

When exactly do they plan to release SP DLC?
Left Behind released 8 months after The Last of Us, so I would expect something similar here.
No details yet.
LOL I had forgotten all about this dude.
