Slightly off-topic, though still about TLoU (didn't know where to post this)...
Did anyone see this recent interview from Pax regarding TLoU's multiplayer? (skip to around 1:30)
http://www.dualshocknexus.com/2012/09/the-last-of-us-multiplayer-update-pax.html
Anyone else confused and/or frustrated that their answer is still "undecided" regarding what they're doing with the multiplayer?
"WORKING on some ideas"??
"We don't know what direction we're going yet"??
Didn't they give the same answer back at E3 or even before?? First this game was rumored to release this year, then (from what I've gathered) it was expected early-ish 2013; but, how can they flesh out an entire multiplayer experience in a matter of a few months if they don't even know what they're doing yet?
This makes me think TLoU will release later - maybe even significantly - than we thought and hoped; and this is what's frustrating.
Does this strike anyone else as odd?

yeah this does make it seem like it won't release early 2013
on the positive side ( for some ) it shows at least that at this point they're concentrating most of their resources to making the single player
i suppose that if buliding the mp is too time consuming they may scrap it and just ship the game as a sp experience, although i doubt that as i think i've heard them stating recently that they don't plan to ship future games without mp

I may be alone, but judging by the type of game this is I just don't see the justification for multiplayer. It'd make a solid single player experience for anyone interested in it and will be worth the money to those people. Adding multiplayer to a game like TLoU may make the multiplayer seem tacked on and just there for the sake of multiplayer. Which I'm guessing is why they're having trouble deciding on how to go about it. SInce Naughty Dog most likely doesn't feel comfortable with having multiplayer just tacked on and want to actually make it intertwine with the game well.

"I just don't see the justification"
what justification is needed? are you talking about the type of game?
uncharted started off sp only and had multiplayer not been added with 2 i probably wouldn't have gotten it
the main reason i got 2 was that the mp beta had me hooked, but after i actually got the game i realised that it actually had much better sp than the original imo ( which to me wasn't that spectacular )
what does "tacked on" mean in this context?
