The Last of Us Part 2 – A Westworld Actress, a Westworld Writer and a Big Question

Benjamin Kratsch of Gamer Professionals talks about the talent involved with The Last of Us, how you view the characters of the game as humans rather than bundles of polygons, and wonders whether Ellie's big secret is more complicated than it first seemed.

The sheer amount of multi-disciplinary talent that is connected to Sony WWS is breathtaking.

Loved her character in Westworld - looking forward to seeing who she portrays in TLoU Part II.

I was talking about Shannon's character "Elsie": http://i.lv3.hbo.com/assets...

Dolores is amazing too! 😊

ummmm. Ellie was infected in the first game... did the author not play that one? she may have been immune to it but she was still infected.

JMRamee2693d ago

I'm sure Brandon meant to word the question as to whether or not Ellie was still immune to the infection. You're right. A mutated version of the infection is inside Ellie that keeps the normal symptoms of the infection at bay. So she is technically infected in the first game (and by that logic, still infected in this new, upcoming game). The question then becomes whether or not the trailer reveals the infection in Ellie is mutating again, and becoming more akin to what affects others in the world of Last of Us. If so, this would lead to Ellie becoming "infected."

Kind of like the infection is getting resistant to effects of the mutated version and is starting to break out symptoms in Ellie?

I am so looking forward to this, the first one (and I played the remastered version) easily ranks as the best game I've ever played because it got everything right from survival to crafting and the top class storytelling and imagery so good that movies today have taken inspiration from Naughty Dog's work (the most recent I could think of is that incredible film called Logan (easily 'Oscar worthy' if the Academy Awards didn't have a vendetta against comic book related films)). Using a relatively common term for upcoming heavily anticipated games used by fans - 'My body is ready'.

I never thought about having hordes of clickers but after Days Gone, I think Naughty Dog could nail something more incredible. Glad its close.

Jimboms1697d ago

I can't wait to see how they've changed up the infected, I'm going to die so much from standing there in awe

VerminSC1697d ago

I actually remember Niel saying something along the lines of “with the PS4 hardware we can now support a horde” I wish I could remember where he said it but that would be insane.

REDGUM1697d ago (Edited 1697d ago )

I have to say that no matter what the game is about, how it plays, what missions will entail, Naughty Dog have well and truly proved to us gamers that they can make it happen and do it well.
The whole picture thing could be just that, a picture. Having said that, the writer may well be on to something too, we just don't know and that's exactly what i'm looking for in a game too.

Developers push boundries, they are supposed to, no point in releasing a identical story and puting a 2 on the end of it.

My opinion, it'll be similar to the 1st game but changed up well too. I can't see a horde mode here as the ammo count, bow and arrow, knifing that we saw in the gameplay so far looks low, i.e. with sparing ammo etc the game seems more of a one on one, each encounter different than the last kinda play which I'm keen on and what I loved most about the 1st game.

I've only just started the Days Gone game and am yet to encounter a horde mode so am definitely not saying it wouldn't be great to play in the new last of us game it's more of an opinion from what I've seen in the TLOU 2 trailers so far.

This releases a day before my birthday and I couldn't ask for a better gift.

They're going to wow the audience with gameplay for Death Stranding, Last of Us 2, and Ghost of Tsushima with release dates for all 3. Then they're going to hype up gamers with more Spider-man footage. Then they're going to drop a bomb with Demon's Souls Remake by Bluepoint. Then another bomb with From making Bloodborne 2.

Rimeskeem2301d ago

I assume maybe like an open beta for Dreams with a release date as well. 2019 will be Sonys to lose.

Einhander19712301d ago

Hopefully some surprises, with PSVR content as well.
