Naughty Dog: Last of Us multiplayer is 'best ever conceived'

Sound like what they said about Uncharted 3 multiplayer... eww..

It'll feature 2 players playing AT THE SAME TIME??? oh my god, didn't see that since Pong!

i hope they did not take a-minute off the single player dev time...

Best MP ever, but you won't say anything about it other than that? Sure, whatever you say. I'm just gonna put on my anti-thinking-for-yourself-cap and then I'll fully agree with you.

That is such a moronic comment, I won't even bother. I bet the gametypes are practically Survival, Hunter and Search and Destroy.

So glad some companies are still making new IPs these days. Variety is the spice of gaming. :)

I'm getting this purely for singleplayer experience but I'm curious about the mp now.

That's one hell of a bold statement to make. I applaud them for their brass.

well at least he is humble about it. 

Oh good, another game that doesn't need multiplier. Stop wasting resources on non-needed features.

Best ever conceived? Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

"Best ever conceived." Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I would say that Demon Souls has the best multiplayer experience.

Damn, I didn't even KNOW Last of Us was going to have multiplayer. Thought it was going to be single-player only. 

I love Naught Dog, I really do, but nobody should say this kind of things, first because it makes expectations fly high, then because it's really hard to deliver once the hype is up and finally because som much in this industry is a matter of OPINION, this is a stupid thing to say...

Last of us best multiplayer ever concieved, umh i somehow find that hard to believe.

I am anxiously waiting for this game, (not keen on multiplayer though) but i find hard to believe that they played every single multiplayer game on earth to be able to know theirs is the best...

Ignoring this exaggeration, if the multiplayer is half the quality of what the game seems to be, then we are for one hell of a ride, this is a game that marks a generation, can't wait for this game to come out, but boasting like this? uh uh not good.   

It's the best ever! Totally. We're awesome. Now I'm sure Naughty Dog has the pedigree to deliver, but excuse me if I don't trip over myself to toe your marketing line.

I don't think Naughty Dog's pedigree is anything to be taken lightly. When they talk about things like this I tend to listen more than when people like Peter Molyneux run their mouth. If you're a developer that continues to push what you can do I'll listen.

Best ever conceived? You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention

I'm thinking there may be a kind of red dead, Crysis 3 mash up. Open, free roam levels, with players split between humans and the infected. It's not strictly original, but it would be unique, especially playing as the infected.

Whatever it is, I'm sure the game is going to be epic. :D

Naughty Dog did a great job with the Uncharted Series, so I think with the experience they had in the past, this game is going to be a master piece and its not the same genre as Uncharted, cant wait to play this. They tried to do something new, and I think they did a great job.

This fucking fucking great game leave me with one question " how many games out there have this kind of SOUL in them?"  For me, the majority of games are full of shit. Only a few are so extraordinary such as Resident Evil, Dead Space, Mass Effect, Uncharted, Heavy Rain, etc. All of which comes with great story. I got pissed a little when I read a game publisher's comment said something like good story in game would not incur its financial success. I think the more they believe in that, the more shitty games we have. 

I would like to see this trailer 100 more times , maybe you can leave it on till  2015 ...

hope it's like raid mode like in RE: Revelations

It would be sick to play co-op throughout the campaign... anything else would be 'already done'.

Too bad it didn't release on the 7th, would have been a nice way to start my summer off.

blowing our own horn ant we

I am not interested in simple play a match multiplayer like Uncharted had. If it is something co-op and integrated more along the lines of Dark Souls I would be interested. 

well since they are so confident about it, im assuming its not a stupid competitive deathmatch, maybe its something like dark souls multiplayer, where people can either indirectly influence other peoples play experience. invading other peoples game as a bandit dosen't feel like a bad idea either.

Put away the torches and pitchforks people. Since when is it wrong to say something like this about a project that you've put a lot of time and effort into? Especially through a medium like Twitter. This wasn't a press release or a games expo. Mr. Wells hasn't been going around telling everyone that the multiplayer in The Last of Us is the greatest thing ever. He just said it in much the same way that I imagine I would if this was my project and I was really excited about it. You know, with a tone of excitement.  This statement isn't a part of the so-called "hype machine". It's just a guy who likes what he's produced and wants to do some well-earned bragging.

If it's some kind of amazing coop multiplayer I could imagine it to be a good multiplayer. But the best multiplayer in game history? That guy never played Super Smash Bros.

The exceeding amount of MP content shoved into SP experiences is a model that hasn't fared well. Tomb Raider, Spec Ops, Far Cry 3 are all prime examples where the resources used to make MP could have easily been utilized to further the quality of the SP. Games like Dishonored, Metro LL are really there to cement the idea that you can still have a compelling experience without a PVP interaction. 

Like most people I see Last Of Us as a single player experience, a game where I can immerse in the interaction of a player/AI reflecting on the isolation of the environment. I don't see the point of survival games attracting more characters on screen in the attempts of making something "FUN" because the GDD outlines it, or worse, a false pretense to justify the $60 price tag for a fuller experience.
