Random question but how's The Lost Legacy? Thinking of picking it up before it enters Playstation Hits with the awful cover.

Get it now. It's such a fantastic addition to the series and I loved it. It's got an amazing world to explore and gives you a real sense of adventure. It's yet another incredible Naughty Dog game.

I consider it to be the best UC in the series.

Even if someone doesn't like it as much as me, I think you're still getting a quality UC game. It is leaner than UC4 and it focuses on the best parts of the franchise from the beginning to now.

Great new thread! :)

Glad Outbreak Day is on my day off so I'll be able to kick back and enjoy it.

It seems common sense press would get upwards of an hour look at this game come the 24th, but apparently some were saying this b/c Spiderman and GoW got theirs 3+ months out.

I just looked and it seems both were previewed just a month out. Both got an hour or two preview. Am I missing some events similar to this both those games got?

This TLoUPII thing is different than the usual Sony pre-launch press events. I'm actually surprised people will be able to get hands-on time with it. That's unusual.

The Press played Spiderman 3 months (E3) and even earlier with GameInformer.

Okay what about GoW? I don't see nor remember the press getting to play the first few hours of GoW no where near as close to the gap that TLoU 2 and it's eventual release date is.

Not to say it won't be playable in some capacity, just seems something like that would come much closer.

Different in what way? Timing?

Yeah. Sony press events usually happen about 1 month and a half or 2 months before release, with one week for North American press and one for European press. Then the embargo lifts about 1 month before release. They have been following this pattern for a few games now.

Patterns exist but could also easily be broken.

If going by historical trend, we would've gotten that Death Stranding Game Informer cover, and that gameplay of the game wouldn't be shown via TGS stream but instead of press event where press are only allowed to share "snippets of gameplay as B-roll" and yet none of that had happened for the game.

So this month we're getting 80 minutes of Death Stranding footage, more FF7 Remake footage (40 minute stage show, is it all game footage?), and TLOU2 being shown again.

Sweet Jebus this is a helluva month. If they're doing a State of Play then everything else that gets discussed in that is just gravy.

The release date for GoW was announced 3 months before the game was releasing, couldn't find anything regarding media. Days Gone was played early. I think some games a previewed late.

Fantastic OT with a perfect timing. TLOU2 trailer+date, preview impressions and some gameplay footage from Sony, let's go!
Then add to that 80 minutes of death stranding gameplay and briefing trailer.
And according to zhuge something else, maybe a state of play episode (maybe the TLOU2 trailer will be there).

In short, september is now the best month of the year :p

Also seems like I started that TLOU replay on just the right time!
