Druckmann saves 'special scene' for after The Last of Us One Night Live stream; internet rage ensues

GameZone: "So tonight, on the eve of The Last of Us: Remastered's release, Naughty Dog and Sony hosted a special show: The Last of Us One Night Live. It was basically a re-enactmenet of key scenes from the game featuring the voice actors who brought the characters to life, and directed by Neil Druckmann. It was pretty amazing to watch, even if you had to tune in online.
But you know what? The mood was spoiled when it was revealed that those in attendance of the event were treated to "something special" that those who had to watch from home wouldn't be allowed to see."

Felt like such a F U to fans...you had a stream, why not keep it on to show us.

Its like when they pull this shit at comic con, showing trailers and clips yet not showing people who cant attend. Agents Age of Ultrons clip for example

JoGam3712d ago

Calm down people calm down. I'm pretty sure there's a good explanation.

Debaitable3712d ago

I'm assuming that with the recent talks he had at SDCC that this is an epilogue direction he had not settled with yet. If it was meant for everyone to see it would have been included with Remastered addition.

The talks I was mentioning which I read elsewhere is someone asked TLOU2 @ the Q&A. Druckmann passed the question to Sam Raimi who said if there ever was a sequel, he preferred Druckmann continue Ellie & Joel's story line.

I have yet to play the game so no spoilers!!!. I stopped playing once they announced the remaster.

Debaitable3712d ago

Well if you want to see those clips then attend Comic Con. Most people go out there way to make sure they attend an event that sells out quick so I don't see why they can't get something special.

Entitlements. Ha.

-Foxtrot3712d ago (Edited 3712d ago )

LOL

Yeah because people who live half way round the world are going to be able to casually go to comic con...in San Diego. That's excluding travel expensivea and all thay jazz

Entitlements? Wanting to see something open to the public when it was being recorded anyway.

Here we go, because it's NaughtyDog nothing is going to be said....but god forbid if it was anyone else, people woild be just as ticked of. Just because they are a good studio dosent mean they can do no wrong guys.

Debaitable3712d ago

@Foxtrot

And what gives you the impression that everyone at Comic Con is locals only? You don't think people from your side of the world don't attend? Should the champion of a fighting tournament share his winnings because everyone tried their best?

Just because it's unfortunate for you not to go, people who are attending shouldn't suffer your same fate.

That's life, get over it.

itBourne3712d ago

I agree with both sides, for you attending, especially if you are dedicated enough to set it up and travel a long ways, then why not reward the fans. To the same extent, they were already streaming.. so why stop it, or why say anything about it.

I got a feeling it will be released at some point though, I doubt that is the only time it will ever be shown, willing to bet its been set up when and how to release it.

Deadpoolio3712d ago

Why exactly are there so many people that clearly need to Google the word teaser, well either that or learn to read/listen....There is a reason 99.9% of the things shown at Comic con are called teasers..They are meant to tease not show you anything more than a tease....

-Foxtrot3712d ago

Most of the stuff shown off at comic con were not small teasers, they were actual footage from the films or series.

elhebbo163712d ago (Edited 3712d ago )

@Deadpoolio you cant argue with dumb*sses

Silly gameAr3712d ago (Edited 3712d ago )

Foxtrot, no offense but you are such a drama queen with your comments. I'm sure whatever it was will be be up for all to view eventually, regardless of what Druckmann asked.

chrisarsenalsavart3712d ago

@foxtrot, stop being so bloody dramatic. People who bothered to attend the show had something extra and that s only fair. That s all.
Naughty dog has better things to do than upsetting their fans.just be patient and I m sure it will come on YouTube pretty soon.

MeliMel3712d ago

Yes, I knew I wasnt the only one who felt like that about Foxy.

Just let it go.

HeavenlySnipes3712d ago

People that took the time to be there in person should be able to have a special experience

I don't mind it

crusf3712d ago

Fox once again you've proven that you rarely think before opening your mouth. -_-

sinncross3712d ago

Eh, its a nice surprise for those who attended. Lucky them.

The description sounds great. My life aint going to change because I never got to see it..

Joe9133712d ago (Edited 3712d ago )

I do not think the scene was a big deal if they would have teased TLOU 2 I would be pissed and I agree and was telling my brother yesterday that not releasing trailers is a bad thing it doesn't piss me off because they usually get leaked anyway but still I think comic con should take notes from video game industry because with E3 it seems like they have been trying to make the show better for the people at home they should do the same with comic con that way you take care of all your fans not just the ones that could come it would be cool if they start to do something like what Sony did with the movie theaters.

USMC433711d ago

I was there last night and I can tell you it was amazing, but every single one of you would've said the same thing I said, "That was cool, but I would never want that to be the ending. It would've felt way too forced. Leaving an ambiguous ending is 100% the right decision."

explicitbaron3711d ago

Naughty Dog doesn't owe people anything. They chose to stream it, if you were not at the live event too bad. The stream was free.

MrSwankSinatra3712d ago

You see this is the type of crap i can't stand. This happened with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with comic-con behind closed doors gameplay, DOOM's demo at quakecon and now this. If fans can't see any of this then there is no point of announcing this crap. Keep it yourselves a F off.

Parapraxis3712d ago

Waaaah, cry me a river.
I think the FANS who actually attended these events are allowed to see some stuff others can't.
How about you F off.

MrSwankSinatra3712d ago (Edited 3712d ago )

I guess people who don't attend or can't attend these events aren't fans then huh??? You're the last person who should be saying cry me a river when you're crying all over the comment section telling people to grow up over and over, hypocrisy at it's finest. Every single person can't just casually travel all the way to these event's because most people in the world have actual responsibilities. So do I really need some asshat rubbing like geoff keigley and/or bethesda officials rubbing crap like this in my face or anyone else's? No, we don't hence why I said keep it to yourself or F the hell off. It's pretty simple logic, they literally asked for the rage that has ensued.

Mr_Writer853712d ago (Edited 3712d ago )

I am a huge gaming fan, and a huge batman fan.

However I have this thing, it's called a life outside of gaming. In this life I have work, a house to pay for, I share this house with my wife and our 1 year old boy.

So jetting off to SDCC or any other CC/GC just to watch a teaser is not really on the cards not when you are a grown up and have a grown up life.

Yeah okay fine, they paid so they get to see things first, but why not release it to those fans who can't make it?

Or because I put my wife and child first I am not worthy of being called a fan?

ZombieGamerMan3711d ago

@ Mr_Writer85 because they owe you nothing that's why Mr. GrownUpLife, I love The Last of Us and it's one of my favorite games but I am not upset that Neil did a special live action epilogue to the game that I may never get to see.

I am not owed this nor do I feel like I am entitled to it, also so what if you do have what you call a life. If you have a life than you should have been able to attend no problem but instead you use your family as an excuse to not have been able to go and do something unless you were just scraping by and it that was the case I wouldn't be upset about not seeing some teasers or some bonus thing game makers did. I'd be more concerned with other more important things.

In short just grow the hell up.

XiSasukeUchiha3712d ago

Wow Druckmann, dude this stuff is unacceptable!

LOL_WUT3712d ago

Who cares the game releases tomorrow!! ;)

The Last of Us Part 1 (Extra/Premium) - September 26
Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (Premium) - TBA
Dino Crisis (Premium) - TBA

VersusDMC17h ago

Hopefully i get Dino Crisis for free as i bought the original PS1 classic on the PS3(like Sony did with Legend of dragoon) and they don't lock it to the Premium subscription like RE1 Directors cut.

But if i have to buy it again and it's 4.99 or 9.99 i won't lose any sleep rebuying.

jznrpg1d 8h ago (Edited 1d 8h ago )

When they put old games on PS plus they usually have trophies these days. I’m hoping Blood Omen and Dino Crisis also get trophies that would be great

Puty18h ago

Not necessarily. Only first party and handful of 3rd party titles from ps one era have trophies ... So many trophyless games in that bunch.

Scissorman16h ago

We really need a full-blown Dino Crisis remake.

slayernz2h ago

This could them testing the waters! If it gets enough downloads/sales then maybe they will greenlight a remake?

Miraak82 12h ago

I think I bought blood omen on ps3 , hopefully I'll get it for free . Even if I don't I'll still buy it again .. Huge fan of the whole series , hope the remasters do well and reignites the possibility of a new game in the series . I know they just released some graphic novels so hopefully there's more going on with the series . Blood Omen 2 is kind of the weak link in the series but Defiance is definitely a must for a remaster to close out SR 1+2 story. A new Blood Omen as a topdown action rpg in modern graphics and gameplay is my dream and man that opening soul reaver music still slaps till this day

spiderman 2 $40 from $70 so it's priced right now as a expansion pack like MM.,

andy8557d ago

Pretty decent expansion pack then saying i got 30-40 hours out if it.

just_looken57d ago

I can get 30hours out of a job outside does not mean it was good.

But i know no matter what i post or prove people love there nerfed spiderman or playing as a blind person for 5 hours then mary jane shehulk for another 12hours.

I am so glad today's "gamer" was not around for the ps3/360 era these new gamers are way to easy to please and have killed gaming.

andy8557d ago

It was good though. Are you actually saying it wasn't a good game? And blind? The person you play as was deaf and it was 10 mins not 5 hours. Doesn't seem like you've even played it by that comment. And MJ was...30 mins at most? Not sure how you get 40 mins into 17 hours exactly

CobraKai57d ago

@just_looken

I’ve been playing since the Sega Master System. I love Spiderman 2. There’s too much going for it to be a simple expansion pack. I felt Miles Morales could fall into the expansion pack range.

If you didn’t like it, it’s fine. That’s what’s great about opinions, there are no wrong ones, just different ones.

StormSnooper56d ago

You guys have to understand, they don’t have anything even close to it on his preferred system. There is a whole psychology behind his comment.

pwnmaster300057d ago (Edited 57d ago )

lol I was in the ps3/360 era and spider man 2 would of been a massive hit still.

Please don’t try to represent us gamers from that time. You are not a good example, always complaining and being negative lol.

CobraKai57d ago

@just
I mean, it’s New York. You can’t exactly change the map.

It sounds like you’re hard to please vs gamers being easy to please. You mentioned great games. Games whose sequels had very similar gameplay with each other with very minimal changes or upgrades.

Im with pwnmaster. Don’t speak for us. It sounds like probably only started gaming from PS360 era.

Rebel_Scum57d ago

Peter Parker lives in New York, where else do you expect the map to be?

Using the same map/location is not a problem.

On topic: In my region the base game is $80. Still not low enough for me to dive in. Not that Im in a rush. Havent even finished the 1st one’s dlc yet.

just_looken57d ago

The map still has asset's buildings the the first game its like madden yeah same stadium but can you change that madden 14 logo?

Not to mention they never added shield basses basically unique interiors you can explore off missions or add in jersey.

pwnmaster300057d ago

Sony pony??
Are you a child? Lmao

Just stop man. It’s embarrassing.
We can like games and not be a fanboy.
Gaming shouldn’t be taken this serious. Relax lol

You come at me calling me a bad example talking like this game is gods gift to us and on any sony article you defend them no matter what.

But now i am a child? what because i used logic again this site you throw facts at people they cry to the admins to get me off here again or play the victim card.

pwnmaster300057d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Lmao gods gift to us what. I said it would have been a massive hit not a perfect game. It’s a good game get over it.

And this is why I said what I said.
“ But i know no matter what i post or prove people love there nerfed spiderman or playing as a blind person for 5 hours then mary jane shehulk for another 12hours.”

And you’re still proving me right. God forbid people like a certain game.
And BS about me on every sony article defending them. I like games and praised every games I

“ But now i am a child? what because i used logic again this site you throw facts at people they cry to the admins to get me off here again or play the victim card.”

Your opinions are not facts and the fact you think they are is sad. Step off video games for awhile.

just_looken57d ago

Na its fine you go ahead belive 200 million dollars makes sense for 1 game when 80 created a trilogy on 360.

I live without blinders unlike others.

Neil Druckmann: Philosopher gamer behind 'The Last of Us'

who is now the sole leader of Naughty Dog, “I promise you, we will not be ‘The Last of Us’ studio forever.” Numerous games, he said, are in the works, including “multiple single-player projects.

Lightning77114d ago

I know he has a celebrity like status but unless he's announcing his game soon idc what he has to say from this point on.

We need announcement something from him.

Crows90113d ago

The dude is a nobody. He's also wrong. Naughty dog is the uncharted and Jak daxter studio.

They only made one universally praised last of us game. They're not know as "the last of us studio" but they are currently known as the "remake" studio.

Lightning77113d ago

I like his games tbh I'm just more upset at the fact that he's been talking and talking and not showing anything. I'm an actual fan of his work, don't cars if that's that's a popular take or not.

If he has nothing to show or talk about. I don't care about his interviews, his red carpet appearances or what's next for last Of Us 2 TV, leave that to Hollywood. You don't see SP, Bend, or any other studio doing what he's doing. They're remaining quiet and focused as most PS studios do. He should do the same. The next thing I wanna hear him say is "now heres our game" we know that probably won't be for another year or so, so he needs to remain silent and stay out of the limelight for awhile.

AsunaYuukiTheFlash113d ago

You are wrong. LOU2 won a lot of GOTY and was highly rated. It's okay to dislike the game but saying that ND just made one critical acclaimed LOU game is just hating at this point.

rippermcrip113d ago

Kind of a weird interview. No substance, hardly any questions. It's almost like they forgot to post the whole thing or something.

neomahi113d ago

Oh brother...... It's like a balloon filling with helium. He's got nothing new to say. Naughty Dog went from being a studio of numerous developers to being about him and what HE does. Bruce Straley was the co-creator of The Last of Us, and he left--I think for the same reason Christophe Balestra left and since then, Naughty Dog haven't been the same. PlayStation is incredibly woke, as all businesses seem to be these days, ignorant to what's really going on sacrificing the greater for peanuts, but I think they left because of the uprising political atmosphere. They knew there was nothing they could do about it and an attempt to try and combat it, in today's society would end them up in legal trouble so, they just left, what else can you do when the opposition behaves like a child, screams and yells louder than you want to in raged fits, and will throw lawsuits at you at whatever chance they can, but you don't play that way, so they left. And Naughty Dog hasn't been the same since.

Naughty Dog was huge at one time! They were the underdog that became the top dog but, the direction it's fine, just watch and wait. It's ego, and Druckmanns ego of thinking they're untouchable and can just coast along, will drop them rock bottom, in due time, they could see the same fate as Xbox's teams met. Fans will turn on Naughty Dog because A) Naughty Dog aren't producing, they're not what they once were.
B) Gamers ARE growing tired of the woke culture overtaking their lifetime hobby. They're just more silent about it, it's the quiet cool

anast113d ago

Non of this makes sense. I would like to think you didn't spend too much time writing it.

Crows90113d ago

I hope you didn't spend much time reading..it...cuz obviously you didnt understand it. But that's okay. There's many other comments to read...

MIDGETonSTILTS17113d ago

You project your own views on the world, and that is a mistake.

Crows90113d ago

Um...so you project someone else view on the world? What are you talking about?! We all project our view on the world lol...smh

anast113d ago

It's called perspective. I understand that. But I don't understand the poster.

smashman98113d ago

you know it's not his fault that people are interested in what he says, right?

Also, Naughty Dog is bigger than ever.

Crows90113d ago

Smaller....where's their last big game? Yeah...I remember when they were actually releasing heavy hitters.

smashman98112d ago

@Crows90 It was in 2020 and despite what a vocal minority says it was critically acclaimed and the 2020 game of the year. Not only that but The Last of Us is also a critically acclaimed television series and PlayStation's most successful foray into Film and TV yet.

So yes, Naughty Dog is bigger than ever, and just because you don't vibe with them or whatever does not change that fact.

anast113d ago

He's a solid theatre arts person, but he's not a philosopher. Being good at one thing doesn't mean he's Descartes.

DarXyde113d ago

I believe that philosophers are more principled than Druckmann, to be honest. It's fascinating that The Last of Us Part II was literally inspired by the Israel-Palestine conflict and was a needed commentary on humanity and ending the cycle of violence, only to have some questionable commentary after 7 October.

I don't hate the guy as some others seem to. He's been a big part of some great games, but I'll never understand the obsession with hanging on all of his statements.

Chard113d ago (Edited 113d ago )

That's a good point in relation to 7 Oct - a far more important issue where valid criticisms could have been made of this guy, but most here seem thoroughly distracted by trivial issues

anast113d ago

@DarXyde

Like all artists he has a signature. People that have an agenda will try to look for that signature and use it. This is why a lot of "journalist/game influencers" hang on every word. Most of us just enjoy his work and get hyped when he mentions something about a possible new game.

@Chard
"a far more important issue where valid criticisms could have been made of this guy"

Which is?

MIDGETonSTILTS17113d ago

Sony should try and stay radio silence outside of hard reveals.

It’s painful to wait for any info at all, but it’s less painful than skimming an interview that avoids all details whatsoever.

Commit to radio silence, Sony. You can afford to leverage the trust in gaming output that you’ve cultivated.

anast113d ago

That wouldn't be a smart decision. There must be a constant stream of connection in today's world.

MIDGETonSTILTS17110d ago

When a constant stream of connection delays a game 1-2 years, and said games take 5 years to make anyways…. Sony fans are better off trusting Sony to deliver than expecting frequent confirmation.
