Thats a great reveal. Most impressive thing for me in the intro they said this was in game engine.
Gaming The Last of Us Part II (PS4)
- Thread starter Neelu
- Start date
They said they with uncharted 4 and it was nothing close to it.
Looks like this wasn't always on. Must say, I'm surprised they're making a second one.
Didnt you just do that?. If you werent going to bring your unwarranted cynicism into the thread you wouldnt have said what you did.
Genuine question: What would genre of game would you have them do?
The Last Of Us is one of my favourite games of all time, one of the few new IPs I got hyped for pre release and didn't get disappointed in. Great news.
Light hearted gameplay focused stuff (like Crash & Jak). They were damn good at that, too
My mate borrowed my copy of the first one and never gave it back.
The greatest video game, of all time, gets a sequel? They have a lot to live up to. If anyone can pull it off, though...
This is why I go PlayStation if I have to choose between it and Xbox.
Looking forward to it. Will be interesting to see how they take it forward after the ending of the first part.

I want a new Jak.
JUST SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
Me too. Apparently they toyed with the idea at first when the new gen came out, but scrapped it almost immediately. FFS.I want a new Jak.
Boner down. But on alert
Really didn't need to use Joel and Ellie.
There are surely other stories running in a post apocalyptic world.
New characters would have had less chance of being a disappointment .

Awesome news, I'll be lining-up for this.
I'm surprised they've gone back to Joel and Ellie though. Where can they take the story from where it ended?

Great news. The first was an excellent game. Expecting this one to be very enjoyable and wel made as well. Just hope the story is strong since that was the usp of the first.
But I do think the original is slightly overrated. I dont consider it anywhere near the greatest game of all time. While its storytelling was a genuine landmark and possibly still the pinaccle of the medium, the gameplay was alright but nothing great. It's nowhere near a Witcher 3 or Deus Ex IMO. Still a brilliant game, though.

I put my opinion across fairly and said my cynicism was unwarranted, I've seen how TLOU arguments go.
I like it and everything, but no.
I don't understand why we have people in here that need to tell other people it isn't the greatest video game of all time or that it's overrated. I honestly don't get it. For me, The Last of Us is the greatest character-driven video game of all time. This is what I really felt while playing it and I still feel that way looking back on it. I imagine many people are the same as me. Are we so wrong about our own experiences that we need other people to tell us what we should be thinking and feeling about it?
It's a discussion board.
I should probably play the first one at some point. I fully expect @Cina (I think) to give me abuse for not doing so already.
I havent played the first one yet. Is it worth getting?
Yeah it's very good but still a bit overrated IMO. The gameplay was nothing special but the writing, voice acting and storytelling are about as good as it gets in video games.
The game play is nothing special, but the storyline is believable, very emotional and you feel a connection to the characters. It's more like a film than a game IMO, which is why people feel so strongly for it.
Thanks guys
It's probably my favourite single player game of all time, which is funny because as a game its a fairly average, linear experience. It's more than a game though, it's an experience. Is this going to be on ps4? I'll have to buy one if it is.
Well, if you want to break it down logically, it more than likely is.
When you consider what makes a video game great, it ticks every single box.
Gameplay: fantastic.
Game Mechanics: fantastic.
Storyline: easily the best.
Characters: at least top 5 in terms of how interesting and likeable they are.
Replay Value: again, at least top 5.
Graphics: On par with or better than everything else.
Add all those to the fact that it transcends genres, i.e. Action/adventure and survival horror and does it flawlessly and the fact that it's just perfectly executed, just the right amount of hard and long enough in game time to keep you immersed for quite some time. This leads me to wonder if there has ever been a game before, or since, that covers all those bases and excels at them, like TLOU does, the answer? No.
Also as subjective as it is, it's also been voted as the best video game ever, numerous times and for good reason.
I don't understand people's obsession with with pointing out that a game someone else thinks is his own best game ever is overrated and isn't their own best game ever. The game that you think is the best ever is probably shite and overrated to someone else so why bother?
It's a discussion forum. People will voice their opinions and it's a bit strange that some people take it so bad. Is this forum populated by Naughty Dog employees or something?
Absolutely not my style of game, and nevertheless I enjoyed it so much. The appraisal is certainly warranted.
More like populated by Microsoft employees
Why don't I get this urge to go into threads of games I seemingly 'don't like' to point out how overrated or shite it is though
They are doing something new, they have two teams now at Naughty Dog. Uncharted is finished, they'll have The Last Of Us and whatever they do next.
Think Duckman said they went through many different stories and scripts focusing on different characters and nothing felt right, so thats why they went back to Ellie and Joel. This is also part of an over arching story rather than a sequel with a stand a lone story.
Naughty Dog are the most overrated developers. Expect a lot more walking around and doing nothing. Then people calling it amazing story experience. I want amazing gaming experience.
Naughty Dogs best game in recent time was Uncharted 2. That had the most action and less walking around rubbish. Games are supposed to be fun not a soap opera.
It's a traversty if people call the The last of us one of the best video games. The gameplay was average. They couldn't even get the stealth right.
It's like describing telltale games which you press a few button as great games. Now I enjoy them, but they not great games. A great games first requirement should to have great gameplay. Story should be secondary. Does the last of us or uncharted have great gameplay? Average at best with crap AI at times.
Naughty Dog are kings of drumming up hype. They are everything that is wrong with the industry at the moment. Overrated pompous directors and little focus on gameplay innovation. Seems everyone wants to be Spielberg in the gaming industry rather than Miyamoto.

Naughty Dog are amazing. Their games are always consistently good with excellent story-telling & a focus on the single-player mode when most other games are all going the multi-player route. It's a matter of personal opinion, but I love how their games make you feel involved in the world they create & the characters.
I can't wait for TLoU 2. Will be another great game.

Great input. Tell me again the great gameplay innovations that the last of us brought to the table.
Who cares?
If it's a good game with a captivating story why do gameplay innovations matter?
Witcher III didn't bring any gameplay innovations but is widely recognised as one of the best games of all times.
