The Last of Us Part II

[McBain]

I was thinking the same thing, sure she had a bit of a reason to dislike the Fireflies based on their plans for her in the first, but to go after them all?

Wonder what that motivation could be. I was thinking perhaps she finds out they killed her parents or something, but killing Joel could do it as well. Pumped to see what Naughty Dog have in store, without a doubt the best story telling devs on the planet for me.

Either way, I have a feeling Joel doesn't make it in/out of this one alive.

Besides the Yakuza series and RDR, this is my favourite game ever and I'm not at all happy about it getting a sequel. I'd be cool with e.g. Uncharted 5 as I'd just be getting some quality mindless shooting/platforming with a cliché story but reviving a game so unique and with one of the most striking endings I've seen (if not THE) is not a good move.

Yeah, I'm sure it'll be a great game and I will absolutely play it but the conclusion to the first was perfect. They're somewhat diminishing its impact by continuing the story.

But you don't know what the story is yet...

 

[Amatsubu]

Obviously too early to say but I've got the feeling Joel is dead from that trailer. Sure he was there, but the way he appeared out of the light didn't sit well with me. Ellie and the 'player' will need a huge motive for going against whatever enemy exists - Fireflies I assume for now. Maybe they've killed Joel?[/QUOTE]

It would be weird for Ellie to say the stuff she did in the trailer because of Joel's death if he hadn't already been dead but we see him alive, unless it's a sort of recollection. However, the game is supposed to be about "hate" between the characters so maybe that's why he's portrayed like that and we control Ellie for most of the game.

I guess she finds out about Joel's lie and is ****ed both at him and the Fireflies.

Of course I don't and I'm not writing it off, I'm sure it'll still be great. Just saying TLOU doesn't need a sequel IMO.
Even the devs said it was supposed to be the end of Joel and Ellie's story as it was self-contained and tied everything up perfectly.
Most likely, they've been pressured by fans as they've also said they were thinking for a long time but couldn't come up with anything worthwhile and almost gave up. Not every game needs a sequel.

My thinking was that she is or was imagining Joel's voice, and it is that which spurs her on. Later we find out that Joel is really dead. Too early to say obliviously.

So you don't trust the people who created the original to come up with a worthy sequel? Assuming it's done well (and let's face it, it will be) there's no reason at all for it to detract from the original in any way.

Quite baffling how negative people are about this already.

As for Joel, for a game that deals with so much death I don't think him appearing as a "ghostly apparition" is particularly likely or fitting with the theme. Who knows what his fate might be by the end of the game but I think it's safe to assume he's alive for the bulk of it.

About time we had some good games for the PS4

Not every game needs a sequel.

Looking at the response in this thread and in that audience, i would say this is one of the games that does.

Yoooo YOOOOOO YOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Some of them reactions were hilarious

I would guess this'll be a 2018 release.

[peterattheboro]

Loved the first one. Probably one of the best games I played on the PS3. Yet to play the remastered version so I will have to give it a go before this comes out.

Is it just me though or is the trailer really quiet?

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Cannot wait

If they keep it topical, Joel will have abused his postion of trust and now Ellie's hunting him down for touching her when she was younger.

 

[Richdog]

ZOMGGGGGGGGGGGG *FAPFAPFAPFAPFAP*

Cannot. Wait.

Druckman said theyd only do it if the story was worth telling.

I have 100% faith in them.

 

[point decay]

delighted we will get a new game, I'm not sure it needed to be the same characters though.

There were art renders about a year ago that suggested the sequel may be set in Europe that looked pretty interesting, I guess they must have dropped that idea

Oh come on, logically speaking why would you drop such rich characters that people have such an emotional investment in? We nurtured Ellie through the entirety of the first game, cared for and protected her, and she is the natural protagonist for the second game.

Why not?, I'd fully trust ND to develop something equally as good as TLOU1. I was satisfied with the conclusion we got, but again equally happy to see where they take it next

 

[Plainsong]

The two main characters are so good. Probably the best thing we've ever seen. Why the hell would they ditch them? I for one cannot wait to see what comes next.

The remaster is stunning. I enjoyed it just as much if not more. So much smoother. I will play it again before this comes out.

Trailer was quiet for me too.
