It's like some people are expecting a totally different game as a sequel. They should go and look for other games maybe. Loving what I've seen so far. Looks like Last of Us 2.5 :P
Glad to see Vita is still well and alive in this alternate reality. too bad for the owner tho lol

This game is going to be stunning on OLED, Last of Us Remastered already looks absolutely incredible.
I uploaded a Youtube 4K video if anyone needs it. It's still compressed, but someone might want to download it for themselves. Don't know if someone has already posted this.

Thanks for this.. YouTube defaults to 1080p for me, even though my monitor can display more that that, looks way better that the live broadcast, so playing it should look amazing on my tv with HDR
The facial animation on the NPC's is just incredible. They make multiple different expressions while in combat with Ellie. Something I've never seen in a video game before.
Example:
For the first image, I meant to type "Preparing for incoming attack from Ellie."
Really incredible work from the animation team.

You know, I didn't even think of this but it sounds so obvious now that I see it. Hope so, that would be really cool.
For me is issue of perception. In first game violence was your last resort and you were running from it for the most part in hope to survive. In Part 2 you are actively hunting people because Elie wants revenge, so it doesn't make you any better than those bad guys. And take for example that gameplay part they showed, Elie basically goes on murder spree without any reason except that ND wrote it that way.
Oh wow, re-watching the SOP again and I just noticed that the WLF members also have a coil of rope. Wonder if enemies use them as well or they're just there for Ellie to steal.
That's the story they are telling and while that may be controversial it doesn't mean it isn't valid. It's up to them what they want to do and what journey they want to take the player on. If you strongly dislike it then you don't need to buy it of course. And at the end of TLOU don't they do something similar, you have to make a difficult choice and then live with it. This is what a world like this would be like. You'd have friends and members from your area and then everyone else, and in a world of limited resources and survival being king ultimately good people are pitted against other good people. It's definitely far more interesting to be a part of than the standard "you are the infinitely good guy against discernibly evil foes" like most other bog standard media.
The SoP showed multiple companions and Druckman said so.
There were at least 3 in the gameplay
Man I really wish this was a launch PS5 game/cross platform. PS5 is just around the corner and Id think theyd prioritize having this game day 1. But I just cant risk the post launch.
Don't worry, most of it can be considered useful information for when you play and they're not spoiling anything relevant. Enjoy it.
I respect ND right to do what they want to do inamnjust commenting how I feel about sequel. First one is one of my favorite games out there. And regarding the in-game world state. Would world really be line that? Would everything really be run by violent factions?

This is next level shit.. ND are defining the gaming industry once again.
I haven't found anything shown from this game particularly inspiring. Kills looks pretty brutal and I like the added facial animations etc, but a lot of the voice work seems to be the same "I heard a sound over here, better go investigate" stuff we've been hearing since Splinter Cell (or maybe even earlier). It feels more gamey than I was hoping.
Between that, your sensory super mode, and the environments looking pretty familiar I'm just not very excited.

One of the surprises is that Ellie has a jet pack. The other surprise is Joel has linked up with commander Shepard and you get 3 hours of gameplay in space and get to witness the birth of savage starlight as a mass effect spin off. This gameplay segment features zero gravity FPS combat and depending on your upgrade choices you can use a slowva bomb AoE attack like warlocks in Destiny 2.
Yeah, that's my feeling. I've seen this kind of stuff a million times already. Sure, it looks phenomenal, but it's time to try something new
same same same. Everything is boring I tried playing remaster it mitigates it a bit but yeah
These both killed me, lmao.
Right! As I mentioned in an earlier post, they can't change the core mechanics just for the sake of it! I personally am really excited to get my hands on this. My special edition preorder stands😁
It definitely has Manhunt vibes. Manhunt + Metal Gear Solid + Resident Evil 4, and it's kind of how I'd have described the original game too.
I thought the gameplay looked incredible. Animations are top notch. Killing human enemies seems even more disturbing in this one. That really stuck out to me.
This is incredible. Naughty godsThe facial animation on the NPC's is just incredible. They make multiple different expressions while in combat with Ellie. Something I've never seen in a video game before.

I pretty much haven't seen any gameplay vids even including the stuff from the previews last year, but lawd this one is tempting me. Is it relatively spoiler free?
I highly recommend waiting for reviews before you make your purchase. This is coming from someone who picked this game as my most excited to play this year. I was accidentally spoiled and was really upset about it, but also canceled my pre-order of a collectors edition. I will too be waiting for player reviews before I make the decision to play the game.

- The animation in that encounter to me look like boss fights of previous Uncharted games. One thing I believe is no interaction will feel pedestrian. Especially on harder difficulty, that's an innovation making almost every fight dangerous kinda like Souls games In a way
- The sound is pretty incredible and high quality in all aspects, listen with headphones
- facial animations are next level as you mentioned it's hard to do
- listen mode is usually reserved for easier difficulties, imagine the AI with it off. Dogs basically make it so you have a timer on how long you can be hidden. Enemies will see you even in grass if you are too close. You climb, break windows, and make your own hiding spaces. Maybe something like Deus Ex accomplishes this and Metal Gear/Splinter Cell games, but it's all rolled up into the same game here.
TLOU2 like the first will probably be most impressive because it's doing a variety of things so well. It's not going to raise the bar in one area like combat, or shooting mechanics or sound or animation (might have with this one) but produce a game that hits all of these at extremely high levels. That's pretty rare for just about any game on the market.
It's funny DOOM Eternal was brought up, because I actually feel like based off what I saw of TLoU2's gameplay, the first game that came to mind of a sequel having a similar 'scope' of sequel update like TLOU2 was DOOM Eternal.
Both are games rooted in the same core play, but with added mechanics relating to verticality, movement, level-design, enemy tweaks that require more thought and consideration on how you engage them, that expands the core of the original.
The difference being that, DOOM is a frantic FPS built on a core loop of high mobility slaughterhouse within an enclosed combat puzzle while TLOU2 is about a high tension, slow paced intense stealth action adventure within an enclosed encounter puzzle.

At the very end, they showed a new character that we haven't seen before, but other than that, I wouldn't say there are spoilers in the video if you've already seen other gameplay videos.
This is...gameplay freedom.
WLF? Aha (aha), aha (aha)...beep boop...boop beep...
Enjoy this game, we may not get another one for 23 years.

I've been spoiled some, feel completely opposite. Spoilers are out of context in a 30 hour game. I think critics and fans are going to love this game to death. Half of what I read was coming 100% from a place of male insecurity and entitlement.
Thanks. I've waited this long already so what are a few more weeks I guess.
I hope you don't mean reviews from Metacritic because obviously trolls will ruin the rating there.
I don't get what your post is about. Why would we cancel our preorders because you got spoiled?
Embargo is a week before launch so if anyone's purchase is contingent on that we will know way ahead of time.
We're actually not worthy of this gameThe facial animation on the NPC's is just incredible. They make multiple different expressions while in combat with Ellie. Something I've never seen in a video game before.
