Ya lol we all tend to speculate too much. Trust that every thing shown of this game was meticulously planned, I mean even Troy Baker admitted this.
When I saw Judgement mentioned, my mind immediately went to the Sega's Yakuza spinoff. Seems I wasn't the only one either:
The violence in TLOU Part II is also making people very uncomfortable because of how frighteningly life-like it all looks. ND's level of detail as well.
What relationship with my tweet?
I was saying that the next item teased by Naughty Dog would be Dina's bracelet... 😶
It's always recording, so if you press the share button a menu opens up and there you can save the video. It saves the last 15 minutes, you can then trim the footage to get the scenes and duration you want
Ya I think video games bring people closer to violence than any other medium can because of the interactivity. I can see ppl being uncomfortable with it, but I still don't think it makes ppl numb to it, and I certainly don't think it causes ppl to commit acts of violence.The violence in TLOU Part II is also making people very uncomfortable because of how frighteningly life-like it all looks.

Ah oke. But no quick way to save the last 30 seconds or something without trimming?
I'm so numb I don't find this disturbing but I'm down for all this darkness. Should be quite the ride day cero.The violence in TLOU Part II is also making people very uncomfortable because of how frighteningly life-like it all looks. ND's level of detail as well.
yeah, your question made me check that and now I know I can actually customize the duration lol. I had no idea this was a thing
You're not numb, you're just able to differentiate fake violence from real violence. I'm sure if these were real ppl you'd be cringing lol. I hope at least
You put it at random place near the water turbines section because ellie forgot to put it on their graves
Shit I forgot about that! Just after the high-five right?
I was sure she has something of Sam's when it's the Winter, or is that just if you don't put it down in that area?
Other items that could show up could include the picture of Sarah, or Riley's Firefly badge.
Damn, this game is going to be bittersweet or brutal.
"Clip her wings" was one of those moments where even though I'm generally fine with game violence that made me feel really uncomfortable.
Im very excited for State of Play and Last of Us Part II. Finally we'll see more of it.
However Im still sad that Im such a big fan of Playstation All Stars, at this point Im not even setting myself up for dissappointment anymore..

I put that down to how good the sound design is. What you're actually seeing isn't that bad. There's no gore outside of her shirt sleeve filling up with blood. So the sound design really sells the whole scene.
One of the most impressive thing in TLOU2 E3 demo is animation of not just movement, but also interaction with pickup-able objects.
There's no more handwaving and teleporting of items. The most insane interaction was pulling the arrows from dead body:
I'm very curious to see how many body positions will they support.
At the very least you'll will have new things to talk about cuz goddamn y'all be running that demo and the sane theory's to the ground
The animation is where TLoU2 will shine and it's what will make people extremely uncomfortable. Imagine TLoU2 level of violence with Tomb Raider or Assassin's Creed level animations (not that those games are particularly bad in terms of animation), there'd be much less concern about how it'll be received because you can see the cracks that make it less realistic.
I've always found it weird how ND's corpses never show the nipples against that shirt. Dude looks like he's completely flat lolOne of the most impressive thing in TLOU2 E3 demo is animation of not just movement, but also interaction with pickup-able objects.

I don't think very many are looking for nipples on corpses lol
Pretty much. We've been waiting for over a year for this moment.

I'm looking forward to seeing what improvements ND has made with transition animations. That's a category they excel in and the animations can be extremely jarring to witness in some games when you try to interact with an object or door and the character slides into place before triggering the actual animation.
Seems like something they'd have to account for on a considerable level with the arrows in the bodies or even on the floor. In the demo, it was seamless, which was mind blowing (but also rehearsed).
Its almost like it was confirmed to get a big info blowout, right?
Nope but we already know TLOU Part II will be here so that's enough :P
I feel like Sony did a decent job at setting expectations. It's easily going to be their biggest episode yet.
Zhuge silence is what makes me hyped actually. He always kills the hype when nothing interesting will be there.
please go read the discourse on the Joker movie and come back to this idea.
It is a current topic of conversation with movies right at this moment. The conversation is different, but violence or depictions of different human behavior in movies has a regular reckoning just as games and all other entertainment does.
The conversation around Joker isn't about the violence though, but whether it's increasing empathy towards or acceptance to the kinds of things that spur right wing or extremist ideologies among disenfranchised white or other folk. Completely different things.
The conversation around violence (and to an extent sex) in movies is old hat, that took place decades ago and isn't really a point of discourse anymore.
Interestly, some of the same kinds of folk that complained about that sort of thing (eg conservatives, Republicans, religious folk etc) in movies back in the day, these days look to scapegoat videogame violence instead.

I don't think you're asking the right questions to understand that these are intersectional concerns of violence in all forms of entertainment. But that is a much longer back and forth for another thread or in private.
With all due respect, this response and your last, seem like digressing or obfuscating waffle, in that they're trying to conflate different topics and discussions as if they're part of the same overarching thing, when they're clearly not. Eg the discourse around Joker isn't centred around violence in and of itself (countless other films have been hyper violent before Joker without any of this sort of discourse or discussion), rather the other things mentioned around the acceptance of extremism born from disenfranchisement.
But as you've stated, let's leave the conversation for elsewhere.

We aint stopping anytime soon. Many of us were waitng over 1 year for news. Give us this week.
The general expectation right now seems to be a trailer during State of Play followed by more on Outbreak Day, which is 2 days later on the 26th.
