In that video the snow deformation looks awful, not sure why ND would have it shown off in the current state.

Seriously? That's what you picked out from the trailer?! How very odd, but then I guess it makes sense given your history with slating any non-Xbox games and consoles.

The thought of having to dodge spoilers (major or minor) for that long would pain me.

I've managed pretty well so far. Still haven't got any clues about Days Gone, Spiderman and managed 12 months before I bought God of War.

See, I loved the original but I tried to play it again a few times and stopped every time, got around an hour or two in and gave up. I preferred it as a story experience than a gaming one.

The mechanics are a bit clunky, so I'd agree that it's a once and done game for me too.

I enjoyed it a lot though on that one playthrough.

The new game looks a lot more open ended in regards to how you can tackle sections/enemies. So it should have a bit more replayability in that sense

What's the 1st part like? Still not played it

It's very reminiscent of Uncharted 4 but in darkness.

Except it's a bit more interactive. Uncharted could be played blind folded and holding Up and tapping X.

What ?? You need to play it. It’s incredible.

As others have mentioned, it is a bit clunky now but the story makes up for it.

Well worth a play if you get a chance. I recently did another play through, and it still didn't disappoint. And there is something about the multiplayer that i really get hooked on as well.

It has definitely aged poorly in some ways but it is a great effort to move video game story telling forwards.

The story is not amazing if you consider other forms of media, but for a video game it did push things in the right direction and it's well worth playing today.

Yeah agreed. Probably been mentioned before but I just saw it is free on PSN next month.

Not sure playing as Ellie will be as good as Joel tbh. The father daughter dynamic was great. Also looks like more of the same visually- though the particle fx and lighting look improved; roll on ps5 so we can get a real leap in gfx now! Only 1440p; think HZD with its 4Kcb presentation will go down as the most visually stunning game of the gen for me now. Though CB has died as a technique now (never really caught on despite the hype) it sure looked great when done well but terrible when done badly eg RDR2.

Mobius 1 · 2 Oct 2019 at 07:00

God... this game will look glorious on the ps5 won’t it ?

Mark1989 · 2 Oct 2019 at 07:33

I'll buy ps4 then I'll buy ps5 remaster

BGGLP · 2 Oct 2019 at 07:53

Yeah be interesting whether they patch it or try and make more money with a remaster haha. Can’t wait for the next gen now, definitely ready for it. Uncharted4 smashed it out of the park really when you think how many years ago that came out now.

TBF to TLOU2 none of the vids have been hdr and naughty dog do hdr incredibly well so that’ll take the Gfx up a massive notch. The hdr in TLOU remaster is superb and both of the uncharted’s.

I really want to get this game but I didn't like the first one. The consistent having to clear a room before you can exit through the door.......when you are right next to the door!! :mad:

Turned me off from playing the game.

Don’t think the formula is changing with part 2... it’s more of the same. Which is great for me as the first game is my GOAT

According to what I heard with on podcasts, that's no longer the case.

If that's the case then I give it a go.
