I think ND has a far bigger task than what's anticipated. This can't just merely be a "Look at our multiplayer for TLOU 2!"

It has to seriously shake up the MP space and do things either unprecedented or is of such high quality that it takes attention away from other major IPs. Like, it can't just be a simple 4v4 PVP affair or some 2/3 man mini adventure missions. That's stuff within the scope of a regular launch even for their own past games(Uncharted 2~4.)

It needs to really hone in with content on the level of Modern Warfare 2. Like that game has a LOT of content that's arguably deep. You have regular PVP, PVE and tons of variations of those. Coming out with something that's not even that level at a minimum will be seen as a big nothing burger imo.

there's definitely a lot of competition in the multiplayer space, and you do have to do something special to pull people away from more established games. I feel like they've been going for the "highly polished DayZ/Rust", when a lot of gamers have moved past that to battle royal

The problem with those games are they are low budget af

I was always hoping factions would be along the lines of one those Chinese mobile games like Lifeafter..just on a much greater scale.

Living/breathing mmo
Scavenging for materials
Building up your homestead/arsenal
Fighting clickers and raiders
Economy system
Pve and pvp missions
Etc

the gameplay loop is kinda slow for some people. they don't want to be gathering resources and shyt. they just want to shoot someone

If TLOU2 ends up being just like a co-op looter shooter it will fail horribly

I assume they've been taking so long because they've been tweeking their formula. I'm curious what they've come up with

Gonna be interesting to see because anything that resembles the divisions gameplay loops is gonna be

No chance Factions 2 will be as violently graphic as the first one, right?

I'm assuming they're trying to make an MP that reaches COD/Fortnite popularity, so they can't have the NC-17 type of kills:

I mean, i don’t really think mature rated games are a huge barrier for entry anymore, not when games like Mortal Kombat and God of War sell 10 million in a couple of months

Not a big deal if they want to go soft I'm mainly in this for the teamwork and tactics but I ain't gonna lie I enjoyed the savagery in the first one.
