Yeah i know, the retail game looks actually pretty good but it unfortunately could never match the e3 demo.

The Last of Us Part II Preview Thread
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
Weren't there only two sections with Stalkers anyway in the first game? The flooded basement and...some other area I think? They were extremely underutilized
I think it'll be really hard. Like the first game I'm sure many story situations still require you to do awful things to people
I wouldn't say that's confirmation, could have easily been a cutscene or a set piece. However if you say you read it in a preview then I'll take your word for it lol. That's fucking hype!
Playing on hard. I hope they have a way to turn off any sort of hints as well. I also would love it if you could turn off how things you could interact with have a white glow around them, it's a little immersion breaking considering how lifelike the game is.
So basically you can enter every house as well, either through the door, and if thats locked, break the fucking window.
Yeah the game is basically closer to Metal Gear Solid now than it is to the first game in terms of getting a way. In the first game you were basically fucked when you were caught, here you can easily, well, way easier lose your enemies. But it's also way easier for them to spot you, especially as it seems with these dogs.
I would be very happy if I had more easter eggs! Mostly from Crash Bandicoot.
It's obvious that easter eggs from something will show up somehow, but it would be really cool if they had Crash clothes, which they didn't have in the first game.
It would be crazy to see Ellie with Coco Bandicoot's outfit, lol!

Exactly.
MGS is tied for my #1 game all time (with The Last of Us!).
What if they had and the kid was killed and that is the reason Ellie is going to "kill all of them"?
I mean Dina is too obvious
And Joel wont die in the beginning
Nah has to be someone close to Ellie. Tommy seems way too calm in that trailer if that was the case.
I wonder if there'll be a PS4 hidden somewhere like there was a PS3 during the cannibal section of the first game
Well I'm not sure which generation of playstation it is, but yeah, there's an easter egg of sorts. Someone who previewed the game mentioned it.
You can just turn it off.
This also isn't a cover shooter. You'll get killed easy doing that here. You'll need to almost constantly be on the move.
Then Joel would be more suited to going on the revenge journey.
It's gonna be Dina.
Errr... it is all but a cover shootter now
The dynamics of the combat means you have to be moving constantly
When you're playing as Ellie and you're going through the shops to avoid David's guys it's right there

The trailer is edited in a way that doesn't actually make sense with 1 piece of info we got from interviews and a couple previews. I'm pretty sure it's not Dina who dies after hearing it too.
Ellie is going to Seattle to find/meet up with Tommy. The trailer implies Tommy is against her going, but he already went ahead of her, implying he has someone he's after too. I actually think his wife was killed and the bit in the trailer is about something else or Tommy trying to discourage her from following him.
Ps4 wasn't even released on outbrak day š¤Æ (i guess)
Let's review what we already know.
They kidnap Tommy and Ellie goes to the rescue. That's what brings Ellie and Joel back together and that's why he tells her "you think i'd let you do this on your own?"

There's something from the previews that already confirmed that
there is definitely some level of misdirection at play, because the scene where Ellie lost Dina in the snowstorm actually has Ellie ending up finding Dina safely, and they both take shelter - as opposed to how the trailer made it look like Ellie searched for Dina to the lodge, where she got ambushed.
Also, I don't believe that that fancy wooden cottage has cheap-looking fully concrete basement where something bad happened to Ellie/Dina. Living quarters where Ellie entered looked cleaned, fancy and modern, and then suddenly, decrepit basement, with cheap looking doors.
Nah, that sequence is a misdirect.
AI will completely change their routes once they spot you. They will group up and come after you. This has been confirmed. It will be a much enhanced version of the first game. People have described it as MGSV meets TLOU.
Okay, that's not enough for her to go on a revenge spree though so there's another incident that happens for sure.
Oh.
The only other possibility I can think of is that the entire community get's massacred.
That's interesting, either you're right about your theory of who it is or my idea about the community being attacked is what happens.
Finally got around watching the trailer. So
so it's totally not going to be Ellies girlfriend biting the dust and the reason of sending Ellie on her killingspree revenge journey.
What I hope it could be, or what I would want it to be is that Dina(girlfriends name right?) I think she will betray Ellie and kill Tommy. It'll also be revealed that Dina is part of the fireflies and is actually the daughter of that fireflies lady that Joel killed in the last chapter of the first game and this is Dina extracting her revenge for the death of her mother and lead to Ellie trying to find her for, again, revenge. The never ending circle of violence.

Ok, I just discovered something truly incredible just how good the AI is in this game. The gameplay we see is unscripted, but they're moments where it felt rehearsed.
- The moment Ellie goes into a house and gets spotted, she kills the first guy stabbing him in the neck. Then shoots the other guy who was with a dog. The dog goes around chasing Ellie and bites her on the arm.
- She breaks away then jumps out of the window only to get surprised by another dog near the fence.
- Notice how the dogs show up at the right moment. It felt like something out of a movie like it was rehearsed.
- We hear one of the NPC's yell out "HERE, BY THE FENCE." That's the moment were Ellie was spotted by the second dog in the previous picture. Ellie notices the call out of her position and says "Nooo... Fuck"
- It's pretty wild because this is all happening on the fly when she's running.
- It continues as Ellie enters another house trying to get away. The NPC yells "LOOK IN THERE" the moment she drops inside.
- Two NPC's then go downstairs to check. Once they see Ellie, the man says "SMOKE HER OUT." The woman then throws a smoke bomb and yells "GO. GO. GO." The woman actually throws a second smoke bomb before the video cuts away. So basically she smokes the place out while the man goes down the to get Ellie as you can see him running down there. Talk about teamwork from NPC's.
- Also, I noticed a pretty cool detail here. Both NPC's have gas masks on. This is something most people overlooked. So this means that the WLF will put on gas masks if they have smoke bombs available. That's a really cool detail.
The AI is so smart in this game, they managed to trap the player. The way they talk to each is incredible. Again this whole sequence felt like something out of a movie and this is unscripted gameplay.

Yeah, combat/gunplay inside a car is not confirmed, it's just a guess based on horseback mechanics.

Great analysis! Haven't seen this gameplay yet, do you have a link?

You have forgot to put the bloody arrow through that doggy.

You know Ellie, the PS3 really did have no games.
I was going to put some blood on the pups mouth, but thought someone might take offense to it, especially these days hah. Gotta be careful with the light-hearted comedic stuff, someone will always be around to get disgruntled for every subject. The day Lassie didn't come home... :'(
