The Last Of Us Part 2 Gameplay Reveal
- Thread starter Strafer
- Start date
Looking forward to this! I kind of hope Joel's presence is minimal; his arc finished in TLoU 1 and I really don't see how they can extend it without ruining it.
What about this didn't strike you as natural to you? She pulled off some stealth kills, got caught, ran and hid the same as you could in Uncharted 4. There are now more ways to hide and more contextual animations but literally nothing about this screamed "Yeah, this won't play like this." It's a natural evolution of everything they've been building since TLOU 1.
Also, I'm going to need a refresher on an encounter they presented for TLOU that was impossible in the retail game. I'm calling Fake News on all of that chatter.
It's impossible to hold this opinion and have sex.
One must go.
How many partners will this game have? 4 was the maximum number in the first game.
Seriously, I want to see the magical games these people are playing.
I feel compelled to tell you that ELLIE IS BLUSHING
I'm fucking dying here Naughty Dog !
She's adorable!
Hopefully, playing on Survival difficulty in the 1st would put you in that situation fairly regularly and it was great. Best way to play imo.

So, don't know if it was brought up but at the beginning of the dance scene, the Asian guy talking to Ellie refers to "Your old man" reaming him out regarding patrol routes, which means that in this time period Joel is not only alive but he's achieved some sort of leadership position in whatever community they've found.
Ellie took a hit, fell against a car, pushed herself off of the car, and then went into a melee animation with a guy. I mean if thats legitimate gameplay then bravo because that was a seamless transition of the like Ive never seen before, but I'm betting theres no way in hell thats actual gameplay.
It's not that one particular bit is impossible, it's the whole thing, one "cool" moment after another with perfect timing and gameplay editing, so to speak. It's like a highly controlled dance. Ah whatever.
Regarding the TLOU1 demo, I don't think I ever fired an empty gun at someone's temple, but that might've been just me.
Is some of that scripted? Probably. It looks pretty evident towards the end, when Ellie just happens to come face-to-face with what looks to be the primary antagonist in the scenario. However, if that's what we can expect from enemy AI and the melee combat then it's much to look forward to.
Definitely the best of Sony's presentation. I was annoyed with DS.

She most likely dead .
I mean it's a trope no matter the sexual orientation .
Also, what the fuck was Disney doing showing The Last of Us?
& Tommy Joel's brother, they likely lead the place, but who knows what happens to them?
I mean, just look at it as any old love story where the lover dies....so it is exactly like the common trope.
Yeah, but what i'm saying is that they've yet to show us his face. It was in the shadows in that reveal.
Isn't that the guy from the old forums that had like THE BIGGEST grudge against this game?
Maybe they've figured this stuff out for Last of Us 2, but yeah being unskeptical about what they showed is just naive. That demo for the first game was Killzone 2 levels of deception in everything except the actual graphical detail.
As Progessive as Naughty Dog are they ain't entirely there yet. Both the two POC main characters in their last game were played by white women.
That said, it's the fungal apocalypse, and they held back too much with not killing main characters off last time. I'd be shocked if joel or anyone in that dance scene survive.
Never tried it actually. Isn't that the mode where they take away your 'detective vision'?
I played on Normal I think and it was still tense as hell at times for me. Some of the encounters in TLOU were butt-clenchingly nerve wrecking.
Nah, ruining gay relationships via death in fiction is exceptionally common in comparison to the number of gay relationships we get in media. Doing it yet again after being so forward about Ellie's sexuality for an AAA game would be dumb.
This is hand-wringing over a speculative post though so we'll see what happens.
Grudge or not doesn't change the fact that he has made good arguments.
Yes.
It's very hard.
I had to stop after the first clicker encounter.
Probably gave it to her for good luck.
That looked intense. Love that Ellie's got herself a girlfriend (though it looks like she's going to die, maybe as part of the motivation for the whole revenge plot, which is annoying).
My main reaction though is WHERE'S JOEL? I love me some Ellie, but her and Joel's dynamic is what got me so invested in the last game and I'm going to be bummed if it's just me lone-wolfing it as Ellie the whole time with no one to interact with.
I don't know, honestly the first game is up there as one of my all-time favorites, and I've felt iffy about them continuing Joel and Ellie's story for the sequel since TLOU 1 ended it on such a powerful note. This game does look amazing, but I can't shake that feeling.

Any concern of Gamergators trying to sabotage this game by manipulating the aggregate scores when it's released?
Ok Ellie, you get yours...
Oh you're just remembering better times as you slice someone open. Whatever works I guess.
