Is this based off the Christian book series Left Behind?

Here we go!
So excited!

Seeing as this is entirely new content and a lot of work was involved new motion capture, character models and enviornments etc that stuff does not come cheap at all. There's a reason this is coming quite a bit after the real game did and it's understandable that it's priced the way it is. As long as it's quality content I'm fine with the 15 dollar asking price. Now if this was priced any higher, like ground zeroes, I would definitely understand the complaints.

As long as the campaign is as high of quality as the main game, I could care less if it's only two hours. I'll gladly pay $15 to experience it.

It's time we stopped basing a game's value on "price divided by length of play through".
Looking forward to picking this up on V-day.

I think $15 is fine. It's about how much the experience is worth, not how long it is. Journey is one of my favorite games ever and I would've paid way more than $15 just because of how much I got out of it.
Let's make 1 hour games for 60 bucks, yay

I don't want Ish DLC.
Neil explained why they wouldn't do it and he's completely right.

Gaf should I get the season pass or just the standalone DLC? I enjoyed the the multiplayer a ton when I first played it but then it just started getting boring for me. Think I got to like week 9? I've also already seen the documentary.
How do we know the DLC is only 2 hours long? Been avoiding previews/media for this.

hnnng the impressions sound good. Hype!
For $15 I see no problem with this, especially if its as good as the impressions sound. On the other hand paying $40 for 2 hours....

Indeed, its great. Must watch for all TLOU fans.

I just wonder how long it is too 100% gz (I assume that is what you are talking about lol)
This is why I very rarely buy DLC, unless it's on sale. It's just bad value compared to the full game.
I might make an exception for this one though considering TLOU was my GOTY, but it depends on how well it reviews.
The main game took me 25 hours to finish the first time through, which was amazing for such a consistently high quality game with no filler, I was hoping the DLC was going to be meaty for a piece of DLC too.

25 hours is unusually long for LoU. Its more of a 15-17 hour game. If you take that long, im sure you will take longer than 2 hours with the DLC.
Does this DLC require you to have TLOU? If so, I think it would be better if they made this standalone, normal price for owners of TLOU and may 20 for non owners (and for owners of the standalone version, TLOU could be made 5 dollar cheaper or something. Is that a bad idea of promotion?)
Since this is a prequel, it would make sense to make it standalone (if it already isn't) and than promote any extra sales of the full game.

It's not standalone

It's a prequel in the sense that it happens before the main game. But the revelation of what happens is likely something you'd want to experience after the game. The reveal of Ellie's big character motivation is elemental to some late game scenes and this DLC seems to explore the events that cause it.
And yes, it isn't standalone.

Well multiplayer only games have infinite hours.
So this should be free.
Really cant wait for this game.
I am going into it expecting a slightly different game to what The Last of Us was, I dont mind this model going forward, Original game mostly gameplay and Epic storyline, DLC: Mostly storyline and less gameplay. Realy intrigued on this.
Just dont switch TloU2 to less gameplay etc
- both are great theories but keepit proportional ND

No, I haven't seen ND say anything about the length. The two hour mark mainly comes from the Eurogamer preview/interview. But they weren't complaining about it or anything. They actually called it a "two-hour triumph".

Ah damn I've reached my monthly data limit which resets on the 15th so I'll have to wait one day to play.....damn it.

This is the reason why journos shouldn't put times in their previews. It gets completely misconstrued.
The devs have NEVER said it took 2 hours to beat the game.

This. I loved the game so much. Never selling it.
I was hoping for at least 3 hours, but 2 isn't bad. Especially if that 2 hours means you're just pushing through the story. Because I probably padded the original game quite a bit just looking at everything. The part where you got to explore a lot of houses was great. Just going around rummaging through things. lol
Wow, that gangstafying thing works really well. I'm impressed.
My mistake, I was just going off the information in the OP. That's good though, I hope it's longer.
Is Riley the daughter of Marlene?
I'm interested in how they are going to handle combat in this game. Since

a big plot point of the story was Ellie becoming desensitized to killing; it wouldn't make much sense for her to commit many (really any, but I can see myself letting it slide for the sake of the enjoyment of the game) kills

If she is then it wasn't hinted at in the comics. Riley's family is never addressed in that, and she certainly doesn't know Marlene when they finally meet (and Marlene doesn't seem to have knowledge of her).
