The lie is going to play a big role in this.

smh... enough with 'the lie', already ...

 

[everyday math]

Swallow 😏

 

[GravityInsanity]

Bean bags lol

 

[Dick Justice]

What I remember is Nathan's lack of hand to hand combat and Nadine a highly trained badass.

Drake fights trained soldiers in hand to hand combat over the course of 3 other games, so that logic kinda goes out the window.

I wasn't on the dead-Joel team until I started watching the PSX panel.

 

[AlphaDragoon]

*first sees the Uncharted DLC thread*

Oh that's cool I guess, a Chloe scenario--HOLY CRAP THE LAST OF US 2.

Let's go Ellie, gonna wreck some dudes.

 

[N° 2048]

Jesus they actually shot this scene a year and a half ago, and kept it from leaking out

It was 2 and half years. He made a mistake. They said it before it was 2 and half years.

 

[psyfi]

The Last of Us Part II |OT| You know Ellie, this time we really are the last of us

this meme got old three years ago, please make it stop please lord

 

[RoKKeR]

They literally can't talk about anything lol

 

[finalflame]

Swallow 😏

Lol, right? Makes you wonder 😏

 

[LookAtMeGo]

smh... enough with 'the lie', already ...

You dont think that maybe even at one point she finds out about it and hold a bit of a grudge? Remember the girl Joel killed was her friend and a friend of her moms. I dunno. I think its a possible plot point.

 

[Animal]

My guess as to what the plot is after watching that amazing trailer:

Spoiler

The fireflies were lying the whole time and Ellie is going after them while Joel doesn't see the point. He nonetheless chases after her to keep her out of trouble and alive.

 

[Obliterator]

It was 2 and half years. He made a mistake. They said it before it was 2 and half years.

I think they were saying they wrote the scene 2 years ago but actually filmed it 1 and a half

 

[psyfi]

I wasn't on the dead-Joel team until I started watching the PSX panel.

Can someone explain what in the panel backs that theory up? I'm trying to focus on homework (lol) so I'm not watching.

 

[Captain Hero]

They copypasted Elena's face. I hope her design isn't final, it's a bit disappointing. Joel being in kinda sucks. I hope he dies at the beginning.

WTF !!
W. T. F. !!!

Ahh, that's it.

 

[Psychoward]

People are going to be in for a shock when they remember they can't swing across chasms with ropes and climb up waterfalls in TLOU and instead have to deal with God awful enemy design to top it off.

Like UC4 was finally an Uncharted game with great gunplay, cool level design and no bullet sponges and TLOU 2 is coming here to fuck things up again. Boy oh boy can't wait to toss my rope and platforming skills in for crouch walking and hilarious bullet sponges!

Who knows, maybe Naughty Dog will surprise me and create a zombie game with actually engaging zombie enemies this time. Or maybe they'll double down on brain dead puzzles like the first game and terrible pacing like UC4 and Left Behind. Who knows!

 

[petethepanda]

I'd love to see ND go more in depth on tech like they did in the Death Stranding panel.

I can't imagine they'd go the head-Joel route, but I'd be surprised if he's still kicking by the end.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

I'm so HAPPY Ellie is the main character. Hell yes!

 

[rdytoroll]

It was 2 and half years. He made a mistake. They said it before it was 2 and half years.

And Sony thought about revealing this scene much later, at next E3. They're much further into development than they let on, imo

 

[GravityInsanity]

WTF !!
W. T. F. !!!
W. T. F. !!!!!

Guess this is your first time seeing a Nev post.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Hmmmm, facial capture tech looking good on the digital doubles but they have to do a good amount of work on the in-game models, that retargeting tech is gonna take a lot of time. Very glad they're implementing this tech from the start of the project though.

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

Joel is dead.

Ellie is hunting the Fireflies because they killed him (in retaliation for what happened in TLOU).

She's singing because Joel used to sing to her and music was a thing between them.

Quote me on it.

 

[Melchiah]

You dont think that maybe even at one point she finds out about it and hold a bit of a grudge? Remember the girl Joel killed was her friend and a friend of her moms. I dunno. I think its a possible plot point.

It's apparent in the end, she knows Joel lies. The woman also tried to kill her for the cure without her consent.

 

[~Kinggi~]

hehe i think they just let slip that footage was an actual moment in the game and not some fake trailer.

Why would you play a game like The Last of Us, and expect shit like rope swinging and platforming?

What? You think people forgot what TLOU played like? Or you didn't know people who enjoyed it while you didnt?

they attack Tommy's community and kill a lot of people looking for ellie.
She want revenge...

With 200fps mocap of her swallowing 😏

 

[Chuck Norris]

Sounds like they started working on it not long after TLOU Left Behind

Probably ended up putting some work on hold for UC4

 

[jett]

Apparently Troy just said that the trailer isn't really in the game, the scene was just shot for the trailer. Unless I misheard.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

He was talking about the extra scene they did in the live performance they did a while back.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

I took it as she wasnt sure if he was lying or not but chose to trust that he was telling the truth.

She's singing to calm her nerves after just being attacked.

 

[freshair]

TLOU PII takes place in Canada, did I hear that right?

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

He got Hennig'ed

He could just be on vacation.

 

[Crossing Eden]

"This isn't canon this is just here for tonight." So like the original debut trailer?

 

[Prompto]

Apparently Troy just said that the trailer isn't really in the game, the scene was just shot for the trailer. Unless I misheard.

Hasn't that been the case with every teaser trailer for a Naughty Dog game?

You dont think that maybe even at one point she finds out about it and hold a bit of a grudge? Remember the girl Joel killed was her friend and a friend of her moms. I dunno. I think its a possible plot point.

Marlene was her moms friend, but Ellie didn't even know her. The first time they met, or at least met to Ellie's knowledge, was in American Dreams (Ellie would've been 13 at the time). And in the scene they meet Ellie pulls a gun on Marlene because she's threatening Riley.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Listen, it doesnt make sense from a gameplay standpoint to have Joel always tagging along with Ellie while she is the PC. First game Joel had to protect her. If he is not dead in this game then he is some stay at home scenario or gets captured or some shit. Or, he could be random hallucinations popping up for story parts, since she will obviously be traveling away from him if he sat put.

 

[psyfi]

I'm not gonna lie, TLOU's combat was only a bit above mediocre. But I never cared because the story and the characters were so damn good. I'd welcome better combat, but I don't care as long as the story stays solid. Honestly, TLOU is the ONLY game that has a story so good that I prioritize it over gameplay.

Good point.


They are confirming that they play alongside each other. No way he is dead.

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

She's singing to calm her nerves after just being attacked.

In that instance, sure.

But I mean her picking up the guitar and learning to play and using music as a calming tool is something she does in memory of Joel.
