How's the quality of the statues? I've never bought a collector's edition of anything, but I freaking love TLOU.

Rumour: The Last of Us: Part II coming in February, four editions to release inc ‘Ellie Edition’
- Thread starter JehutyRunner
- Start date
I am still banging my head for not getting the most expensive edition of GOW. I want that statue, damn it.
It's less about the success of that game for me and more about not having a sure success to launch your new next gen console with.
I'll happily play it wherever, just seems like a strange business decision. Not that that affects me at all!
Mistake would be not release this game on a console with near 100 million userbase. PS5 has BC so ppl moving forward can still play it on the new console.
They will be fine
Stuff like TLOU2 and Death Stranding will get PS5 patches (4k/60fps maybe) for the console launch day and then there is a very high probability of Ghost of Tsushima being a cross gen release, and maybe Ratchet and Clank PS5 and Demons Souls Remake
Ashley Johnson will personally come to your house and brutally murder you in a fashion similar to the game, it's inarguably Sony's most ambitious product to date.
It'd be cool if they included a temporary tattoo of what Ellie has inked on her arm. You'd get a lot of people on social media showing off their TLoU2 temp tat. Tons of free marketing.
It's likely releasing around 9 months before the next PlayStation, though. That's quite a gap (and I wouldn't be surprised if it was originally a 2019 title that got pushed back).
TLOU1 didn't "die on the PS3," and that released in June.
Hope it's a big ass nice art book like the original game. Not really down for a statue or other pointless shit I don't need.
Given how much the game will have cost to make, to release it on a console with an install base of under 5m rather than one with an install base of 100m+ just doesn't make financial sense. Especially as you could release an 'upgrade patch' to still make the game attractive to people who do get a PS5.
This game will sell 10 million on PS4 and then another 10 million PS5. Just like the original only more.
Same, especially considering second son dropped at the beginning of the gen.
The PS5 will sell out regardless at launch. Thank fuck Sony don't delay shit for new consoles.
It is a really ambitious project compared to their past efforts and Sucker Punch is not nearly as big as the big guys at WWS
I usually like to wait for episodic things to be done before buying. FF7R could be a challenge though.
I'll just grab the normal one which is the cheapest. I don't care about the extra stuff. But February sounds nice. It's a quiet month otherwise.
Ghost of Tsushima will probably be a PS5 launch title. I wouldn't really be concerned about content for the PS5 launch. Between BC, first party titles, and partnership games, it will be more than fine.
Got me 😓
I think at least two games will be pushed. Right now I am thinking Bloodlines 2 and Avengers. Cyberpunk is a hot candidate for a month delay as well.
I love it. I do wonder what will happen with The Last of Us 2 and Cyberpunk around the PS5 launch. I hope you can play those games with enhancements without having to buy a new copy.
I will buy the most expensive digital edition. Together with the official guide in paperback which satisfies my physical collection crawings these days (and it serves a separate purpose).
This will be Naughty Dog's magnum opus.
This will be Naughty Dog's magnum opus.
I'm guessing PS4 Pro type enhancement for free, and more extensive enhancement by way of a paid DLC or something.
Last of Us did staggering numbers on PS3 despite having launched on PS4 launch year. The world doesn't move on from games that are impactful!
there isnt really a good period of time to launching it before.
Sure there is.
There is currently all of one game announced for April, one game announced for May, and zero games announced for June. I don't understand where people are getting this idea that all of 2020 is ridiculously stacked when really only Q1 is.
For anyone already know about this (and in such a detailed way), then it means a trailer for it must be close.
but those april and may games are huge and will hurt the launch of a new IP, june is E3 month so hard to go on heavy marketing, july and august often are not a good time to launch new AAA games, and at that point, why not wait for next gen.
The Last of Us, a new IP, launched in June and seemed to be just fine.
I agree that Cyberpunk is a big title, but just how much of a wide berth do you think it needs? They can release GoT six weeks after Cyberpunk and still be within the month of May. Which is still ~6 months before the next PlayStation's most likely launch window.
If the idea is that it would be beneficial for a new IP to release during a slow period of releases, the holiday season is not going to be better than Q2 or Q3.
