There’s less than a month until The Last of Us stumbles onto store shelves, and while developer Naughty Dog has been quite forthcoming with the game’s single player campaign, it still hasn’t said anything about multiplayer. That’s set to change imminently, but while the developer is keeping a lid on the competitive extra for a little longer, it’s at least starting to tease what we can expect from the option come the PS3 exclusive's release on 14th June.
“Take all these things that we’ve been talking about: the pressure to survive, the high lethality, the limited resources, the crafting, [and] the upgrades,” lead game designer Ricky Cambier told the PlayStation Blog. “Now go head-to-head with somebody else. So, that spirit that we’ve captured in the single player, you’re really going to feel that in the multiplayer. And that’s really all I can say right now.”
As big fans of Uncharted's multiplayer, we’re really curious to see how this shapes up. Do you still feel that the online mode is unnecessary, or are you open to the idea of Naughty Dog experimenting with something new? Let us know in the comments section below.

how come she looks like toddler Walter Sullivan from SH4? They've gotten good at making realistic bone structure, but muscular facial expressions might be PS4 era tech.
I'd say "single point five"-player gaming sounds genuinely fun. Good idea if they can implement it well enough
I'm fine with multiplayer as long as it feels natural. A lot of people usually complain about multiplayer saying "they're cramming in multiplayer to be like everybody else" and other idiotic things.
If ND can transfer the feel of the SP campaign into multiplayer, then I say bring it on.
I'm concerned about this...it reminds me a bit too much of the stressful abomination that is Assassin's Creed multiplayer. But these guys did a great job with Uncharted's MP, so I guess I'll give them the benefit of the doubt...for now.
Sounds like Uncharted meets Left 4 Dead multiplayer in other words AMAZING.
The co-op in Uncharted was pretty fun, so I'm hoping they have something like that.
It is unnecessary in the sense that the game would sell anyway. But if they do it well, it has great potential. So happy to have it and see what it can do.
I can imagine a 3PS style but with very limited gun/ammo, so far more melee combat, makeshift weapon etc.
