Uncharted 4 Multiplayer to Feature Micro-transactions and is 900p60

"The multiplayer portion of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End will incorporate microtransactions from the outset, according to the game's lead multiplayer designer Robert Cogburn. But all gameplay items can be earned with in-game currency; Multiplayer to render at 900p60; Naughty Dog suggests Uncharted 4 will be studio's last again. Later, Cogburn explained that the multiplayer mode will render at 60 frames-per-second, although at 900p, due to the studio's belief that the smoothest possible experience is crucial in multiplayer. By contrast, Uncharted 4's campaign mode will display at 1080p30."

How do you feel about micro-transactions being in the multiplayer? I honestly feel that while not great to have them in the game, (personally) that it won't interrupt it as many people can resist the "temptation" of them. Hopefully it won't mean we have to grind for the gear though.

Unfortunately, nothing "new". UC2 (to a much lesser degree), UC3 and TLOU (the biggest offender in this regard) were all made with microtransactions in mind. So as I said, nothing new :S Don't like it, but the game is enjoyable enough without using them (TLOU less so though).

As for the 900p/60fps thing, well, since it's for the MP I think it makes a lot of sense. A solid performance on the MP side is what most players will want I think. I'm okay with that.

.......

Hahahaha

Damage control incoming.

At least they didn't try to claim the MP was 1080p

Microtransactions is nothing new here, and I'll take 60fps over 30.

But teh 1080p/60fps reveal!!! In-engine!!!

See cows.....60fps is important and the PS4 needs to make sacrifices to make that happen.

ND gods have forsaken them.

I disliked all that customization in UC2, then they went overboard with the sequel.

Wasn't there already an UC4 mp reveal thread like 3 hours before yours? Oh right you just want to spam 900p micro transaction in the title

Indeed! It's a shame they can't hit 60fps on the SP, but as long as the 30fps are rock solid I'm good. In the ideal world every game would be (at least) 60fps, regardless of platform or mode (SP vs MP).

yeah, it's just funny how crazy people went over that in-engine reveal...and then to see the game slowly get stepped back to what rational people said it would be

Another pay2win game....hmmmm. Naughty Dog meet EA, EA meet Naughty Dog. Prob another reason so many staff quit

Why.? Is not like Uncharted 4 would be the first game on 900p to aim at 60FPS,and did you see the video.? It look great compare to Halo which drops as low as 1152x810 and look like Halo 3.

This will be overshadowed by Halo flopping don't worry.

edit: Comment also furthers your lem status which you love to deny lol.

Just ignore the microtransactions if you can.

Already with the excuses, lol "Why.? Is not like Uncharted 4 would be the first game on 900p to aim at 60FPS"

Compromises, Compromises with the worlds strongest console

UC3 had micro-transactions and it was a bit unfair because the weapons you bought came with more perks than the ones you earned by playing. But as long as you can buy them with in-game currency I don't see an issue. This is something that is here to stay anyway. =/

But what about co-op? They have not mentioned co-op not even once! and that's the online mode I played the most in UC2 and UC3!

900p? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

DC! hahahahahhaaha

Yep.

Naughty Dog is pretty egregious with microtransactions. I don't like this, but ugh.

Yay 60 FPS though!

60 FPS is preferable...but 900p is a letdown knowing how powerful the PS4 is, and the fact that this game doesn't have a ton of players or massive maps either!!!

That's it, I'm done.

**** taking sides because this is the first time I can safely say that I'm done with this shit.

@nyadc: You're apparently in your 30s and you find this funny, just because it's Sony.

I was right, you are a scumbag.

I'm happy they're dropping resolution for frame rate. However, whilst it does look better than Halo (not like that's hard), It really didn't look particularly special in the graphics department.

Also, I imagine this will be the same with other games where gamers whine about microtransactions that really don't affect them in the slightest.

I thought consolites love donating to greedy publishers' various schemes. Paid online service, DLCs with tiny content and microtransactions are staples of greatness.

You know why these things keep happening? Because people have no standards, are too brainwashed, and simply follow around their fan-system like a lost sheep. This is happening because people are buying into it, in large numbers, without a stop or even signs of slowing down. Why should the publishers not exploit this then?

You are like the cow equivalent of nyadc lol. It's optional, all ND multiplayer games have them. What is worth worrying about is if they **** up the MP balance with magic beams.

@bobrossperm: I'm not anything equivalent to NyaDC, I was disgusted by Halo and am equally disgusted by Uncharted 4.

I didn't gloat about MT for that game, I thought it was shady and pathetic and that is the same deal here.

I do not mind micro-transactions that do not effect the game such as weapon skins but ones that actually effect the game are horrible. Pay to win is the worst.

I wont use them anyway, so it doesnt bother me.

Preorder cancelled.

@kuu2: No I don't give a shit about 900p, I'm annoyed at the MT.

Stop trolling.

Exactly. I'll gladly take 900p/60fps any day of the week and this gen should have been about 60fps. I'm totally okay with 900p/60fps on these consoles. I hav ealways prefer stable framerates over resolution.

Edit: As far as microtransactions goes, big deal. Rise of the Tomb Raider has it and it cause a little uproar anyway.

Why make sacrifices for 60 fps, when according to lots of fanboys this time last year the human eye cannot see the difference between 60 fps and 30 fps? It's less cinematic too, according to Order 1886.

And Halo 5, I think, doesn't has any kind of destructible environments either, right? haha

Wow they are dreaming. No way they hit 60fps in MP. Except maybe during the lobby or load screen.

Eww 900P! SP, & done. :3

Sony and Microsoft fanboys ask for microtransactions.

Wrong thread, dude. The Halo thread is above.

lmao consoles, lmao @m3dude1

Darn this 900p stuff! Great it's 60 fps, but geez.

Every gameplay item can be earned in-game so it's not a huge deal. Looks like fun and pretty crazy, just hope that it's well balanced.

I don't think so, there was a multiplayer trailer thread I think. I didn't do this to spam 900p, just simply stating news. I thought I kept a very moderate view on it though.

Bu bu butt teh "In engine" 60fps SP trailer "actually running on a PS4". Cows man ...lol :P

lolpuking thread

Oh no...

That's 900p's more than it is on Xbox One or PC so it's not a big deal. Cows need to take it easy on the resolution bashing though. When "Naughty Gods" has to drop the resolution you know there is a problem.

@GhoX: Microtransactions started on PC.

Consoles lost their way, they're getting closer and closer to PC's bullshit.

Wow! The multiplayer vid looked like absolute trash compared to what we were shown over a year ago.
