[Trogdor1123]

Well, that’s crappy

 

[Luipadre]

Fucking kill me with these twitter letters

 

[DonJorginho]

This MP project is definitely in development hell, it's been in the works since pre TLOU2.

Late 2024 at best imo.

I deadass would've taken a CG trailer over this crap

Same.

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

Let me guess…. It’s just gonna magically drop at the same time as Season 2 of the TV show.

 

[YukiOnna]

So it's in development hell, OK.

Hopefully that single player title is at least NOT beginning development.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Scrap factions for a tax write off and go back to what you do best.

Shouldve just released TLOU2 with a similar multiplayer mode to the first one.

 

[Spyxos]

Ok it comes later, but they still could have shown something.

 

[VN1X]

Hopefully that single player title is at least NOT beginning development.

Why?

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[YukiOnna]

Why?

Because I'm hoping it's been in development for a while haha

 

[Pelta88]

Delay?

When did they announce a date for factions?

 

[DenchDeckard]

I really don't think they know what it is...it was obviously almost complete in some form and they've gutted it to turn into something else...I can't imagine how hard it must be to try and make an appealing gaas game in 2020s.

I feel for them.

Shit is tough nowadays but yeah, this is in development hell I think.

 

[elcapitano]

Technically you can't delay a game that never had a release window announced.

 

[SlimySnake]

Factions being in development hell doesnt surprise me.

Development beginning 3 years after shipping TLOU2 does. What were they doing the last three years? Herman? Hello?

I don't know, wasn't the reseason for remaking TLOU 1 that they wanted their staff occupied between project intervals?

 

[Draugoth]

Cant wait for the Spider Man delay announcement as well

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Bullying works it seems, they put out a statement.

 

[Con-Z-epT]

From expecting it would be part of the release of TLOU2, to this.

 

[DonJorginho]

Delay?

Read between the lines and it's basically a delay, remember we were meant to SEE the game this summer.

Looks like that ain't happening now, sounds like a delay to me.

 

[[Sigma]]

The time spent on TLOU pt 1 kicked their ass.

Not a very efficient studio.

I kid I kid.

 

[killatopak]

TLOU remake?

 

[BoxFresh123]

I hope the single player thing is this rumoured sci-fi game. TLOU 3 will inevitably happen but I'd like something new.

 

[hemo memo]

 

[Kikorin]

Factions 2024, new sp experience in 2029.

 

[Fake]

Lmao.

Remember, this multiplayer was suppouse to release in the same day as TLOUS2, but here we are.
Are they remaking TLOUS2 for PS5 at this point?

 

[Sleepwalker]

The time spent on TLOUS pt 1 kicked their ass.

Not a very efficient studio.

Wasnt most of the tlou part 1 done by a different studio and then taken over by ND at the end?

 

[Imtjnotu]

FIRE JIM RYAN AND PEDRO PASCAL.

 

[Flabagast]

What a fucking waste of time.

 

[Represent.]

All I needed to hear was New Single Player game in development from Naughty Dog.

Fuck ya

 

[DonJorginho]

Another reason why Insomniac >>> Naughty Dog.

(not saying ND are bad before anyone gets butthurt, but their output since Uncharted 3 has been awful in terms of gaps between releases.)

 

[Killer8]

Naughty Dog shouldn't be wasting their time with MP at all. Their strength is SP and always has been.

 

[MALpractice311]

I don't feel bad for them at all. They had an enjoyable and reasonably successful multiplayer component in TLOU1. They didn't have to scrap everything. All they had to do was expand on it. This is just like Doom 2016's deathmatch to Doom Eternal's battle mode. Who asked for such a huge change?

 

[elcapitano]

Another reason why Insomniac and SMS >>> Naughty Dog.

(not saying ND are bad before anyone gets butthurt, but their output since Uncharted 3 has been awful in terms of gaps between releases.)

SMS have a worse output

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Well I guess it won't be revealed during the second showcase

 

[DonJorginho]

what hurts the most is that so much time and effort is being put not even into a traditional bombastic single player experience that ND are best at

their resources are being poured into a fucking live service game, i hate the new era of PlayStation

 

[[Sigma]]

They whole shit is gross though. Should have just moved on after TLOU pt2. Started working on that new IP.

 

[Fabieter]

Oh boy. Well I think the simultaneous release is delaying it.

 

[DonJorginho]

SMS have a worse output

ND is a far larger studio I believe? I may be wrong though.

Either way it's a poor output.

 

[YukiOnna]

Lmao.

Remember, this multiplayer was suppouse to release in the same day as TLOUS2, but here we are.
Are they remaking TLOUS2 for PS5 at this point?

The sad part is that I am 100% expecting it at this point, lol.

 

[near]

It's actually been in development since 2018, so 5 years. lolololol

 

[MrA]

Weak, but I'd rather it be good than rushed

 

[DeepEnigma]

Delay?

When did they announce a date for factions?

He's delaying showing it in 2023 like he said he would last year

Let's fucking hope not. This delay seems more like a strategic move to coincide with the Part 2 show on HBO, since Factions 2 is tied to Part 2, and they want the timing of understanding (for the normies) and marketing their GaaS that needs to reach the most people, not just the fanbase.
