The Last Of Us, the game known affectionately around these parts as Uncharted With Zombies and Much Closer Fisticuffs, will have – unsurprisingly – multiplayer.
But it won’t be a main storyline co-operative mode.
Speaking to Gaming Examiner, game director Neil Druckmann* said that whilst the game will support multiplayer, they’re “not ready to talk about the details” but can say that it is “not co-op within the main campaign”.
That doesn’t rule out co-op, of course, just that it won’t be a two player version of the single player, with one controlling Joel and the other Ellie.
The ending, too, is already set in stone. “There is only one ending to the story and the game,” said Druckmann*. “At the end of the day, we are creating a video game and we’ve made sure that there are plenty of choices for the player to make either in combat or exploring the environment.”
“In fact, with supplies being so scarce, it’s important that you take the time to explore and scavenge for anything that may aid you in the future.”
*it’s not actually clear that the quotes are those of Druckmann but the title implies this.

I think TLOU would’ve really hit a massive win with co-op story mode, it’s a shame but I wasn’t expecting it so I’m not missing out.

personally I think as the story has 2 main characters co-op would have worked really well
but of course it will have multi-player and let me guess death match as well since that is so original

I wonder what the collectible treasures will look like.

I have to honestly admit, I did not for one second will have believed that ‘The Last of Us’ will have online-multiplayer until I read it here (watching the video on YouTube in a bit), and this sounds absolutely freaking awesome!
Imagine all of the endless possibilities (Such as, *Creativity BOOM*):
Zombies Mode like in CoD; UNCHARTED 3 Type Online-Multiplayer experiences; Co-Op may not be confirmed, but if it is, that’d be freaking awesome; and on top of all that, for you trophy hunters out there, TROPHIES! (I’m personally off trophies, no idea how :o)
