Outbreak Day has arrived, and though there doesn't seem to be a worldwide cordyceps infestation (yet), there is the bad news of multiplayer getting axed from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Last of Us Part II. It's probably for the better, seeing that this game's campaign will be brutal, cinematic, and breathtaking enough to satisfy on its own. Even so, there's still a surprisingly large number of gamers who regularly enter the dark and heinous world of the first installment, so maybe it isn't so smart after all...
The rumors turned out to be true. Despite giving fans plenty of hope amid E3 2018, the reality is that single-player took precedence. As reported per the co🐼-director of the title🐼, Anthony Newman, in a press release this week:
"Multiplayer will not be included with The Last of Us Part 2...as the game has developed, it’s become so ambitious, so grand in scope, and so intricate in its complexity, that it really required the f𝓀ull focus of the studio to deliver𝓡 this single-player experience."
Without multiplayer, will this new iteration still stand the test of time like its predecessor? Even after six years of existence, PVP for the original, aptly coined Factions, still draws in crowds of players by the payload. That includes both PS3 and PS4 Remastered, which is extremely telling of what this original multiplayer mode accomplished. Slightly similar to the likes of Rainbow Six: Siege and Fortnite with a blend of the series's own style for survival, Factions opened the door to many possibilities for players who simply weren't good enough elsewhere. As Redditor TheGorbsters relates in an :
"It’s pretty well-balanced, and the unique gameplay sys💫tems (crafting, low amounts of ammo, stealth opportunities, etc.) give you a fighting chance against other skilled players, whereas in other games I find myself getting instantly killed by players that are much better than I am."
He goes on to explain how his affection for the game mode feels so strange given the fact that it was extremely criticized and called into question upon release. Maybe by riddi🔯ng their sequel of a multiplayer mode, Naughty Dog intends to avert some of the many claims th♍at challenged their previous iteration.
Shown off amid PlayStation's most recent 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:State of Play, which featured some interesting new VR ports and other exclusives, a gave fans insight into the state of The Last Us Part II. At first, the once timid yet brave Ellie glows with affection for a fellow character, until only moments later when the rage and violence kicks in. There is not a single doubt this upcoming sequel will feature far bloodier and more epic moments than its original. It will highlight the inner turmoil that plagues Ellie following the savage death of her lover, all the while drawing her back into the warm (though, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:some might say villainous) grasp of the titular character, Joel. Even without a PVP mode, there's still much to be anticipated.
