Essentially items that you purchase with in game currency that you use tactically to gain an advantage in some situations. For instance using Wrath of El Dorado to clear the enemies from an area.

BUt uncharted 3 reception wasn't 100% positive. Many didn't like the pacing of the SP campaign . Lot of complains were made about the bullet sponges in MP co-op ,not to mention the complains about the MP dlc delivery or the balance since many aspects present during the UC3 beta disapeared .
It was done in 2 years , yeah , but it wasn't all that smooth . so i'm personnaly fine that they take longer and everything works (hopefully) better this time around

Hellyea so this is some coop options! LOVED U3s coop stuff
I wouldn't assume it includes splitscreen. Doesn't seem like splitscreen will be in for UC4.
Any maps in paticular you'd want to see re-worked?
I guess they're saving classic mode for one of these updates. Honestly it feels like it would be an easy thing to implement... 
So what about that "triple pack" thing though? It's a sort of season pass and it promised multiplayer content. Just gonna be early unlocks of skins and vanity stuff I guess.

Classic mode though ND, that's what I want to play anyway.
Well that's like meaningless MP content lol. I guess you're just really paying for the SP DLC.

I dont want a half assed hardcore mode. It just wont be a popular playlist if all it does it take out mysticals, power weapons, and sidekicks. It would be very redundant when we have TDM and a ranked TDM already in the game.
They would need to make it stand out somehow, and I think the best way to do that is to bring back weapon pick ups, with mystical pick ups thrown in, as that would change the way the mode is played.
That sounds like it would be dope.

The main reason people are asking for Classic mode is because they dont want mysticals/sidekicks in it.
Power weapon pick ups sounds more than enough and if they change anything else it would not really be a "Classic" mode then anyways.
yep if ithat depends on those evil nd employees you wouldnt get shit.
i mean they are just bringing the best 3rd person shooter of this generation with a campaign that i am 100% no other studio will match. with a tons of content mp and sp but yeah. lets just pretend that the order, quantum brake, tomb raider match whats uncharted 4 is offering

I think you are expecting way too much out of gamers on a forum. There is too much sense in your post.

all it says is coop, how do you figure there's no adventure mode?
Ah gotcha, thanks! They don't look too bad.
Now I just gotta decide if I want to pre-order retail or digital.

Id take just power weapons, but I dont see the harm in having mystical pick ups
The whole idea of classic mode revolves around map control and controlling the advantage of having more powerful weapons. A mystical pick up would be very fun to fight over and would add a more nuanced advantage compared to the default mode, where mysticals are used often.
Also, let's not pretend classic mode was the bestest thing. Constant grenade spam, boosters that let you see through walls, hipfire accuracy/magnetism, melee, boosters like fleet foot.
To me, the best way to bring back a classic mode is to bring back the concept of pick ups and map control. And if power weapons can be fought over, I dont see why mysticals cant be thrown in. Regardless, a classic mode would be unique with pick ups, as opposed to "UC4 with the core stuff removed"
UC3 classic mode was an awfully poor imitation, and I dont want a lazy classic mode.

There are a bunch of post of people saying "coop! Yes!!!" As if coop wasn't going to be in the game. Just like you don't people telling you to not be excited about free DLC, don't tell me to not be upset that half the online content will be coming in months.
If I could choose 4 maps from each
from U2 i'd like to see Train Wreck, Temple, Village, and Cave.
From u3, I'd go with Old Quarter, Chateau, London Underground, and Yemen.

Free DLC maps + few modes (more added later) >>> Paid DLC maps + lots of modes from the beginning
How is this different from Splatoon?

All of the budget for Donut Drake was shifted to co-op, free maps, and no microtransactions. Bless you, DD.

I am not a fan of splatoons way of doing things either. I didn't buy it until a full game was there. I like buying full products not half of one. Now Uncharted is mostly a single player game so whatever but I refused to get splatoon until it was mostly all out. I refuse to get SFV. I am just not on board with this buy it now and we give you the game in pieces later way of doing things.
It was half to me, I spent about the same time on both modes in past games. I enjoyed coop more. Plus there are missing competitive modes too. So yes half.
Not only that but the pickups have to be compelling. The power weapons and mysticals have to be severely buffed in order for me to go outta my way to get them.

I agree with the bold part, and that is what it should be. I dont think they will add any additional boosters specifically for the classic mode such as SA/fleetfoot etc., unless they are planning to bring them back regardless.
I personally wouldn't mind mysticals together with power weapons scattered around and up for grabs but I am pretty sure the majority of the people asking for a classic mode will hate it, because they mainly want a mode where they can have extended shootouts without any over the top weapons/abilities such as cluster-bombs/Wrath of El-Dorado that have the ability to wipe out an entire team.
The power weapons needs to be buffer period. The rocket launch is weaker than it was in the previous games.

Are you suggesting that Uncharted 4 will be half the product it could have been come release?

People didn't know if COOP was in here because... they never talked about it. It's not exactly a given seeing as how some games these days don't have everything at launch or sometimes cut things for a new game.
I told already you can be upset all you want, hold your breath until you're blue, go scream it doesn' matter to me.

Still better than pay full price for a game.. then pay $50 for a remaster and still buy DLC weapons/boosters at an additional cost.

I see, it's a matter of principles for ya. The thing is, refusing to buy Splatoon (or Uncharted 4) day 1 denies you dozens of hours of entertainment... and it's not like Splatoon has fallen that much in price since last year.
SFV is an entirely different situation, since that game doesn't even have a proper Campaign... just imagine if ND did that, lol.
Also, the truth is that this "trickle down" MP content strategy seems to work, since it keeps people invested. They will keep coming back regularly to experience the new content additions.
As long as it's free, I think it's fine. If you think about it, you rarely get "full" products these days. Most contemporary games need patches (even Nintendo ones).

I dunno why people are surprised. Someone at sony probably crunched the numbers and they probably make more money with a larger people resubbing for plus than a select group paying for maps.
trickle down free content, keep people playing, which keep them subbing. Same reason Halo did the same thing.

Co-op at launch ?
''Co-op'' in fall 2016 doesn't inspire any confidence. Right now at lauch MP is bare bones with missing content.

Have they taken any mechanics from TLoU that will be implemented in this game? I haven't browsed through the thread
Village and Cave are the main ones I need. Especially Village. And the RAINY version from UC2, none of that sunny crap from UC3.
This is kind of how I'm seeing it, and part of why I'm so disappointed. Plus, knowing that there's only ONE more mode coming over the course of this entire year (and maybe forever; Summer 2016 is the only one that explicitly says "new mode") is just...ugh. And it probably won't be free-for-all, I'm sure. I won't get that lucky.

I understand that Co-op fanatics will be pretty pissed (especially if they have to pay for it), but I still remember UC3 Co-op being pretty lackluster compared to UC2 Co-op. The graphics were severely downgraded in Co-op Adventure. UC2 Co-op Adventure was much better.
Who knows, maybe they need more time to polish it and bring it on par with the Campaign?
I thought the modes were free?
DannyDanger

I feel like this a moot point, since the additional stuff is gonna be free
Also the day one offering also includes the singleplayer campaign if we're being fair
Overall its a great package day one
They are.

But it's not like classic UC had long shootouts. You could never have a great game of getting pinned behind cover because people spammed grenades at you. Extended shootouts never happened the way they do in UC4.
In UC4, despite the occasional surprise El Dorado, I am finding myself constantly pinned down by enemy fire, and having to carefully consider my actions. Sometimes I even have no ammo left, which makes things incredibly tense. Other times, I am trying to wait for a teammate to save me. This is usually when someone throws an El Dorado to push back players, and it all comes across as genuinely exciting and strategic.
Since grenades cool down, and since there are more items than just grenades, there is far less grenade spam, and far more enjoyable cover to cover shootouts, full of revives, healing, etc. It manages to maintain the craziness of UC, while managing a sense of LoU cover gameplay. It's really a fantastic blend.
I actually think the RPG is the best power weapon they have in UC4. Guaranteed a down, and fantastic in tight situations. It's like the LoU shotgun. Everything else couldn't compete for when you wanted to guarantee a down.
The grenade launcher and shotgun feel like poorer versions from UC2/UC3. Not so much the power, but the way it fires. I miss the satisfying thunk of the Hammer and the kickback of the shotguns. I hope they add them as DLC
They did add a downed state like TLOU has.
Hmm I'm getting a full SP experience and multiplayer. With free maps and modes mapped out. You're right it is brilliant.
