Is that what that means? Cuz i take that tweet as them saying they will have multiplayer for their next game and not TLOU2. If that is the case, their next MP will be different than the stealth focused TLOU Factions.

Tacked on?!?! There’s nothing tacked on about Factions MP! It is a unique, stealth-focused and crafting-focused MP that is slow, deliberate and extremely tactical.

The demo is too short and shows too little to win new fans, at its current state it will only cater to the nostalgic gamers who’ve played the original (like me). It only includes the linear first two levels (Dan’s Crypt and the Graveyard) which acts as tutorial levels, when it should have also included the third level…

First, Sony’s MP games have never included invasive, balance-altering loot boxes.

Oh, so that’s what you meant. But that’s different, U4 launched with PvP MP built in, the mechanics, the maps, etc was already on disc. The PvE update was added reusing the same mechanics, characters, maps as the PvP. TLOU2 will not launch with any of that, patching an entire game modes with simplified character…

They have never done that. Uncharted 2, 3, 4, Lost Legacy, TLOU, TLOUR launched with MP mode built in, a free to play version of U3 with a level 15 cap was released a few years after the original game.

But that would just be the first game, I want to see where they can go with a new improved MP. Dammit...

THE GAME HAS NO MULTIPLAYER MODE, the Factions mode for the second game has been cancelled!!!

Aside from TLOU2 and MediEvil, this State of Play is disappointing and it’s all WB Montreal’s fault. They had to go and tease a new Batman game days before this event.

AA games are still going strong. The last few years, mid sized devs have been making ambitious unique games with generally okay results: The Sinking City, Greedfall, etc.

I hate how the 3D background is not as detailed and as sophisticatedly made as the 2D sprites.

But Metal Slug is also an arcade game, the arcade cabinet pretty much has the same button layout:

Ah, I see. So all fighting games. Was expecting a few Metal Slug here and there.

Sigh... that’s the point of game previews.

Exactly. With Hideo Kojima’s name on it, no way this game isn’t gonna sell, it will.

Yeah... despite the high concept and weird mumbo jumbo from Kojima, the gameplay is pretty basic, nothing “new” like Kojima is promising. You still do a lot of the same things you do in other games, I was expecting some new radically different way to play based on what he’s saying.

Screw the main game! Release the Mario Kart mini game as a separate game, and I’ll buy it for $60:

13 Sentinels Aegis Rim... The most disappointing Vanillaware game ever.

I bet.
