So for 8 months from release of TLOU to the dlc, you're suggesting the ND team just put their feet up. You don't think it is at all conceivable that.... they're making shit in that time.

Ofcourse the story has to be done, and maybe character/level designs. But obviously it's worked on after the game ships. Ashley fucking Johnson even talked about meeting the actor for riley, and she was scared because she had finished filming with troy, and everybody's expectations were high because of the reviews of the game. If you're saying they are working on U4 dlc now, why delay the main game then? It would've been a good addition to their holiday lineup and been a huge system seller.

You're working on assumptions rather than fact or sensibilities.

and? That's a pretty common thing, and isn't linked to on disc dlc (for example the whole sfxt fiasco, which was really a one off, i don't recall many other companies doing it, Destiny had the general area of maps of dlc on disc but it was incomplete and the content was not there, not a bad thing because it gave them something to work on in the future when making the base game)

$25 is way too much. I'm not if it will be worth that price but they should consider lowering its price to $15.

Perhaps a prequel to Nate's brother and his adventures before finding Drake? I could care less about the MP.

Where did I sugested it? I'm just saying that in this case since they are announcing the DLC (and be sincere, a DLC don't take 6 months to dev, even if released after 8 months, it either started some months after release or they hold releasing for some time) 6 months prior to release of the game there is a big chance of it being finished before the game goes gold and could have been added to the game.

When is this stuff available? I presumed the single player expansion will arrive a while afte release but the article doesn't allude to any of that unless I missed. The "multiplayer packs that will unlock new, rare, and legendary multiplayer items." especially sounds like day one DLC.

This isn't being described as a Season pass so I understand the confusion+annoyance.

As a fan of the Uncharted series with Uncharted 2 sitting at the top of my all time faves right next to Super Mario Galaxy, I will have to wait and see if I like Uncharted 4 enough to even consider DLC.

I was disappointed with Uncharted 3, and even though it still hits the "good game" mark, it took away the sense of adventure and exploration of Uncharted 2 and replaced it with more shootouts, explosions, and facial dialogue closeups. I'm concerned Uncharted 4 is more like Uncharted 3, though I've still pre-ordered it in the hopes of being wrong.

To me, DLC is worth it (not monetarily, it's always overpriced in ratio to the main game's cost with a few notable exceptions like Mario Kart 8) if you like the game it's for. I'm in a holding pattern on Uncharted 4, though!
