why limit your market?

Well it comes down to many reasons (the decision to cut multi)

1. It's a ton of extra work for the porting team. Not to mention all the potential stability issues that can arise (see MCC).

2. Space. Multiplayer modes in two games take up a ton of extra disc space. Putting the game out on multiple discs would ramp up manufacturing costs and the game would be priced even higher.

3. It's a lot of work for very little gain. Uncharted 4 is releasing in Q1 2016. That is where Sony will want people playing, it's their big blockbuster game. So to include a beta and promote multi in a game releasing potentially just a few months later is preferable to having players split across 3 different games.

There are three logical reasons for why the multiplayer has been cut.

 

[TheMasterGoblin]

Probably 2 blurays, Uncharted 1 & 2 can fit on one double layer disc, especially if multiplayer is not being included in 2.

Actually, it's probably one disc (remember it's also a download, 2 or 3 full discs would be quite hefty).

I'm guessing that all of the art assets are shared between the versions since they are doing a visual upgrade. This would mean most of the large content (short of videos) would be from one source.

 

[PirateKing]

I like the box art, should go in OP

The blue, the U4 Beta sticker and the bottom text ruins it but beautiful by itself. I like it.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Sweet baby Jesus. It is real.

I will happily platinum these games for the millionth time.

As will I. I had a blast last generation with these gamed.

This is great news to wake up to. I wonder if they didn't want to face a MCC situation with the multiplayer.

 

[Noobcraft]

As it stands, the only way to play UC2 multiplayer on my PS4 is by streaming it through PSNow, and that makes me super sad

 

[Exr]

No multiplayer fucking sucks. I know im in the minority but I liked mp way way more.

 

[Nightengale]

The box art is so good.

UC4's box art needs to take some cues from it. Be more classy.

 

[Gestault]

I hope this does well enough to justify a Golden Abyss add-on port. I think it's better than the first game.

Also, it would be a pointlessly geeky dream if they ran the story scenes real-time for this version to keep disc space under control. It's not like the engine couldn't handle it.

 

[Firelord Chargrilled]

I like the box art, should go in OP

That's pretty sexy

 

[PirateKing]

Great.
However, I would definitely buy a collector edition, if they have.

Will it come with Crash Bandicoot remaster?

 

[Nakkilokki]

This basically saves autumn for me.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

A shame Golden Abyss isn't included. Never played it.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Oh yeah, keep ignoring people who are fans of the series as well. Because God knows, if I have change left over, it's a bad price!

I'm a fan of the series. I cannot ignore myself. Myself says "WTF no multiplayer" followed by a "WTF full price".

If only one of these statements were true it would be just fine for me. Both is not so cool.

 

[Big Green Anus]

If Mass Effect trilogy remaster comes out for PS4/Xbox One, would people complain if that's $60?

Having the game running at 60fps and other upgrades sounds like it's worth the money

 

[Uno Venova]

Yeah... I'm gunna pass on this:

Well there goes Lemondish's talking points for the past 2 pages.

Got it.

 

[Sean]

I'm surprised by the fallout for the lack of MP. Uncharted MP always felt tacked on to me, they are SP focused games. I'm actually among the camp who feels that the expanded MP in 3 is what caused the SP to fall below 1 and 2 in quality.

I never really cared much for the MP in the Uncharted games either personally. But if they're gonna cut out a large chunk of these games and sell an incomplete collection, it certainly shouldn't be at full price.

Though from reading this thread they'll get away with it no problem.

 

[EmptySpace]

to first-time players, hopefully you play uc3 first then uc2 so that we can remove that bias about "uc2 is betterrr hurr durrr!"

 

[bananafactory]

I hope this does well enough to justify a Golden Abyss add-on port. I think it's better than the first game.

Shitty minigames removed and I agree.

 

[Zil33184]

Rolling with Shotguns 3 doesn't even come close to UC mp.

C'mon man, you don't wanna be the catch of the day.

I mean I hear what you're saying, but don't fall for such sloppy bait.

 

[Jigorath]

I like the box art, should go in OP

Definitely buying it physical. Sexy as hell.

 

[BeforeU]

dammit bluepoint and uc1-3 come october?


uuuugggghhhh...why do you do this to me. whyyyyy...

i was going to build a pc with the new amd hbm fiji card. uggghhh...i was going to wait until computex and e3 to decide so why why why are you doing this to me?

Not sure what you trying to imply here. If you already own PS4, this literally costs 60$ a bit less if you wait, so how does that stop you financially not building a PC?

And if you dont own PS4, then why you excited about Uncharted?

 

[myharlequin]

Does it Includes some remake like Halo 2 in the MCC?

 

[73V3N]

Sixty dollars?!

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Good luck with that. Now, if they'd tossed in The Last of Us complete and called it the "Naughty Pack", then maybe...

Just look at all the fanboys with angry replies to your post, of course they will buy anything so they don't really need luck.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

I can understand why they wouldn't want to try compiling Uncharted 2/3 multiplayer but why not do something similar to Halo 2 Anniversary where they remake some old maps in the Uncharted 4 engine? This game seems to be pretty comparable to The Master Chief Collection, even it's name, it just seems like a lesser effort even if MCC did have a lot of hiccups along the way.

you realized that ND have to delay U4 so they can have enough time for it

 

[Jawmuncher]

No MP and No Golden Abyss? I can pass on this then.

 

[NastyBook]

No MP?

What.

Will wait for that good 2016 sale on this, because LOL @ no MP at all. Punk asses just couldn't bring back 1.04 UC2, could they? And I guess they were smart to do that, too, because I would have cared not a wit for UC4's MP in comparison. That's just how good UC2 MP was before they completely shit all over it.

I'll just play the MP for UC4 when the game drops.

Good job on getting Bluepoint to do this. Can't wait to play Uncharted 1 again with no screen tearing.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

UC4 beta? Fine, I'm in.

 

[Lys Skygge]

I like the box art, should go in OP

The beta sticker bums me out. Hopefully it'll have a cardboard sleeve because the actual artwork looks great.

 

[Karish]

Wait, no MP!? UC2 mp is GOAT

 

[Fdkn]

If Mass Effect trilogy remaster comes out for PS4/Xbox One, would people complain if that's $60?

Having the game running at 60fps and other upgrades sounds like it's worth the money

ME3 multiplayer in or out? Apparently that's what people like about the games.

 

[16BitNova]

I told myself that I wouldn't buy the uncharted remake as I still have all my PS3 copies, but man I can already feel myself caving.

 

[Loakum]

For Uncharted 4's multiplayer, it would be a crime if it didn't have Joel and Ellie and some Clicker skins and TLOU items.

 

[VanWinkle]

Well there goes Lemondish's talking points for the past 2 pages.

Got it.

Hahah

 

[Mass Effect]

The blue, the U4 Beta sticker and the bottom text ruins it but beautiful by itself. I like it.

Yes it does. They should make it removable (the sticker, not the text on the bottom).

 

[BlackBuzzard]

This offers less than half the content you get with MCC so I sure hope it does.

If it works it will offer hell of a lot more value.

 

[Papacheeks]

Same. A worthwhile collection but it would have been so good to see this on the level of the MCC collection. At least there's beta access to U4 and it'll work though!

This is a joke post right? MCC still doesn't work right , there's a thread about recent patch that has fucked Halo 1 multiplayer.

MCC hasn't fully worked since it's release in late October. Had multiple issues with lobbies, multiplayer matches, even doing online co-op for the campaign.

Do you blame Sony and BluePoint for making the decision at what's most important to the franchise? Which is it's singleplayer campaigns.

You get Uncharted 4 multiplayer beta access. And from watching gun play in single player, and their work with TLOU muliplayer it will be vastly Superior in every way.

So I'm glad they decided not to put it in. Who knows, they may patch it in down the line, if there is enough attention. But I think they want UC4 to shine, so it is what it is.

Comparing Nathan Drake Collection to MCC isn't fair, since Im sure Nathan drake collection will actually work.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

This offers less than half the content you get with MCC so I sure hope it does.

Yeah, let's play dumb and act like he isn't referring to the broken mess MCC released in.

dammit bluepoint and uc1-3 come october?


uuuugggghhhh...why do you do this to me. whyyyyy...

i was going to build a pc with the new amd hbm fiji card. uggghhh...i was going to wait until computex and e3 to decide so why why why are you doing this to me?

Tell me about. I'm building a PC with a 980ti during the fall but Uncharted is one of my favorite series. ;_;

 

[teddymeow]

I'm all over this!

Bluepoint is just the cherry on the top.

 

[PirateKing]

Just look at all the fanboys with angry replies to your post, of course they will buy anything so they don't really need luck.

What? I'm against the price and no MP, not getting it day 1 but I'm still buying it for the SP down the road. Some people justify things differently.

 

[nobodyshero]

I can't really begrudge them for not including the MP. UC 4 comes out only a few months after this, and they are including a beta that Ideally would happen Jan-Feb, so they have no real incentive to spread that audience out.

 

[ComputerBlue]

I wish they included at least the best ever TPS mp in U2 though].

will still get it but not day one.

Same here, I'll get it when it's cheap. MP would have made it day one.

 

[Loudninja]

Just look at all the fanboys with angry replies to your post, of course they will buy anything so they don't really need luck.

How dare people look forward to playing these games at better quality :/

 

[Fbh]

Great news, and finally a Sony exclusive remaster on Ps4 that's more than just one game.
I'm definitely going to get this, lack of multiplayer is kinda dissapointing (would have LOVED to have UC2 MP on Ps4), but playing the trilogy in 60fps must be glorious.

Also, the boxart is much better than the one of U4 lol

 

[HueyFreeman]

Bluepoint is great news. Not surprising, but still great that it's happening. Particularly stoked to try Uncharted 1 re-done.

Naughty Dog and Bluepoint, if you're reading, maybe tone down some enemy waves and balance some of the games, given we're playing all three at once. No need to pad.

 

[Omnistalgic]

Do we have any trophy data for MP? I honestly don't think the users complaining about it are the majority. I play UC games for the story and SP experience, and I think that's what the series is most recognized for. This is a great deal, and just tweet to ND u guys want the new MP to be like UC2 and give player feedback. Lol how GAF makes everything negative, this is a great announcement sheesh.

 

[Guevara]

Yeah I'll buy buying this. If it's a slow holiday, possibly day one.

 

[Catdaddy]

Will Pre-order .. Never played UC1, played 2-3 several times and was considering playing them again this summer, guess I'll hold off...

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I'm a fan of the series. I cannot ignore myself. Myself says "WTF no multiplayer" followed by a "WTF full price".

If only one of these statements were true it would be just fine for me. Both is not so cool.

Full price? I see a collection where you're essentially getting three remastered singleplayer games for $20 each. If that's not a good deal to you, so be it. Just don't act surprised that everyone else thinks it is.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Bluepoint? I'm in

 

[feli]

So confirmed that nobody actually said that and we're all freaking out for no reason.

GAF gonna GAF.

I'm pretty sure that it doesn't have multiplayer, even the pre-order skins are for the single-player campaigns.

"UNCHARTED: The Nathan Drake Collection includes the single-player campaigns for UNCHARTED: Drake’s Fortune, UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves, and UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception."
