Yes, after finishing the story of TLOU2 i played the TLOU Remastered multiplayer and it is pretty decent.

It would be a waste to not take advantage of the scenarios, factions and combat of TLOU2.
 
Nope, I played the factions mode in the first game only to get a few trophies, but it definitely didn't attract me enough to try and fight for the platinum.
 
One of the main problem of TLOU is the lack of combat fields, and when there is one, it's only for 4-5 enemies and stop, and you need to re-wait another hour before the next battlefield. A complete waste of the good gameplay the game have. So, yeah, the multiplayer mode could have satiate this lack. And yeah, the MP of TLOU was very unique, so D1.

Definitely. Survivors on TLOU1/Remastered was amazing. Weird how it flew under the radar, considering it's as addicting as a game like Rocket League and there's hardly a learning curve. There aren't many no-bullshit/straightforward multiplayer games that are as fun and tactical as Factions.

I remember the community being great as well. Can't wait.

Youre not suggesting Rocket League doesn't have a learning curve are you?
 
Haven't bought the TLOU2 yet, keeping away from spoilers etc. I'd pay full price now if it had factions. I love the multiplayer in 1 and still play most nights. Can't wait for info on 2, I just hope it's not a ps5 exclusive though.

What's the current thinking, a separate release or paid dlc?

Lol def not. I easily have like 500+ hours on rocket league and I've still yet to get to Champ 1.

Both games are similar in how you can easily binge like 10 matches in a row and not get bored. The structure is simple and addicting.
 
It's one of the few multiplayer games coming up that I care about playing. Hopefully it doesn't try to teach you social justice lessons after every kill.

I know that pain except I'm well over
1,000 hours

Factions 2 is gonna be brutal if even half of the executions make it into online.
 
I don't care for TLOU single player but multiplayer is some of the best multiplayer i have had in years. I will buy the game when this releases.
 
Looking forward to it with all the new movement mechanics from SP, but I dread to think of an idea of day one microtransaction.
 
Hell yes! I loved the old fractions as well as the multiplayer of Uncharted 4. And I´m usually not a multiplayer guy.
 
I'd still say the campaign was better than the multiplayer. Pretty ironic when I'm primarily a multiplayer guy.
I loved the gameplay loop and the slow methodical aspect of it.

With a group the mp was a almost as good as the Socom mp days.

The SP is great and has fun encounters, specially on higher difficulties, but the slow walking talking sections made new runs a little annoying.... So I spent most of the time on the mp.
 
Didn't want to make my own thread because I just want to rant. How the hell is Factions 2 taking this long? Still no release date?

This was supposed to be included with TLOU2 which came out in June. "The game became larger in scope than expected" - that's a reasonable excuse for Hello Games (lol), not NAUGHTY DOG which is a AAAA developer that had a $100M budget for TLOU2.

At the end of the day, if Sony is too scared to demand critical game components be released on time from their prized studio, then I suppose there's zero reason why ND would put in the effort to release a promised feature even 6 months after the game's launch.

I can just imagine Jim Ryan being summoned to Druckmann's office, slinking in, sheepishly taking a seat with his knees pressed together. "P-p-please, Druckmann-sama, we need the Factions game, it was a key strategy of the 2020 release slate and was supposed to be an important free-to-play proof of concept for our shareholders. B-b-baka!"
 
Uncharted 4 MP was among the most MP played last gen alone with BF4 and Rocket League. So yes, I'm eager for it with a PS5 patch.
 
I put 200 hours into Factions, it was a fantastic and wholly underrated multiplayer mode. The maps were excellent, the crafting made things tense and straightforward enough to not disrupt combat, and both of the core modes were fun in their own ways. It was a very distilled experience, and I'm really interested to see what they do with it next.
 
Hell Yeah Yes GIF
 
I'm confused as to why it's taking quite long and many months after the game came out.

Ghosts of Tsushima just announced a multiplayer out of the blue after release and got it out in a month afterwards.

Is the hype still there for the MP for TLOU2? Seems like there is still, but the hype seems to have waned quite a lot to the general audience.

Probably because they anticipated a lot out of this game and still do. game journalists hyped the shit out of it prior to release with 10/10, post-release bragging about meaningless awards, but the game is a mixed bag among the gamers and Sony does not brag too much about the sales, something's telling me it did not sold as much as Sony has anticipated. Maybe they're working on a DLC and MP mode which they will try to sell for a full price again.

With so many games from Sony released in 2020, they're probably waiting until this year to release it.

Horizon
God of War
GT7
Fractions
Ratchet and Clank

That'll be another amazing year for PS5.
