The Last of Us Part II Looks Spectacular and Brutal in First Gameplay Reveal

The massively-anticipated sequel of The Last of Us got an extensive gameplay reveal at Sony Interactive Entertainment's E3 press conference.

[Gazondaily]

Game looks MADDD! DAY ZERO

[-Foxtrot]

YESSSS

[Eonjay]

It's hard to believe how good the graphics and gameplay are. Just wow.

[TripleAAARating]

Are you kidding me???.... my goodness. I had to pinch and ask myself "is this real?" at times watching this on the edge of my seat. WOW mind BLOWN!

[ABizzel1]

Seeing this and Death Stranding action had me believe that this is running on PS5 specs, because these games absolutely destroyed everything else shown at E3 graphically. Absolutely blow away.

Part 2 looks like it will continue being one of my favorite games of all time.

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

NO Xbox game will top this

[UnSelf]

If anybody in here has a problem with homosexuality, then don't buy the game. Sony, nor Naughty Dog, wants your money.

You motherf*ckers are the reason there's so much hate in this world.

[salmonade]

@ UnSelf... dude just stfu. I'm fully excited for TLOU2 and I don't give a crap about Ellie being a Les, it's the character and part of the story. But you going around spouting your bullcrap is not helping anyone or anything. In fact you're doing a disservice to whatever it is you're trying to defend. You're making things worse.

[morganfell]

"Seeing this and Death Stranding action had me believe that this is running on PS5 specs"

Kojima tweeted it was running on a PS4 Pro.

[starchild]

Extremely impressive visuals and gameplay. The AI and world interaction seem to be breaking new ground. Truly astounding stuff.

[Nicaragua]

@Unself

Wow, your virtue signaling levels are over 9000!

Im glad that we have wise mediators like you to guide us through the complexity of human interaction, although perhaps next time try to tone down the cringe.

[nveenio]

I love the way they grab at their wounds.

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

You can disagree with UnSelf all you want but he is %100 correct.

[AnubisG]

UnSelf and Brave_Losers_Unite,

I see that the left-liberal SJW crowd has shown it's ugly head. Sony does not care about anyones political views. Sony does not care if you like or hate homos. They do want your money no matter what. Sony is out to make money not to make a political statement you left-wing liberals. The real world is not constructed around your feelings and what you think is right and wrong. You can deny hard facts all you want. There are people who don't like homos but will buy this game regardless. I don't like homos either but they have as much right to do whatever they want and live the way they want as long as they aren't trying to show it down my throat. Just because I don't agree with homosexuals way of life, I still respect their right to that lifestyle and won't do anything to hurt or stop them. You can disagree with people but that doesn't mean you want to destroy them. Welcome to the adult world you left-wing SJW children. There is a clear agenda in TLoU2 and I said this a million times. Drukman said it loud and clear, he is a huge fan of a brain damaged person called Anita Sharkeesian.

[kneon]

@Eonjay

I can believe it. Do you not recall how phenomenal TLOU looked compared to what had come before it? Well it looks like they've done it again. I'm curious about the environmental damage. For example when Ellie was thrown through the glass. It didn't look like a scripted event so I wonder if they have given most world objects more realistic destructibility or is it just a select few. It's so difficult to tell with ND because of their seemless cut scene transitions.

And it looks like this is going to be brutally difficult on grounded mode, possibly even more so than with the original.

[Salooh]

nSelf and Brave_Losers_Unite
Naughty Dog have the right to do what they want. They have their own convictions but their beliefs are not adopted by everyone so it is normal to have such reactions and people like you need to accept the existing of both reactions. Who are you to decide morality and start dividing and spreading more hate. That's what you are doing. Not only you are subjective, you also against the western governments that these developers obey, they allowed both point of view to exist so you have no right to judge who is right and wrong morally nor legally.

Looking at it objectively, If i believe homo is normal, i will try to convince and encourage others to accept it. If i believe it is a bad ethic i will try to do the same and not raise my kids to adopt it. It's simple morality choice, i have the right to choose! You have the right to choose ! But don't come and act superior to me ! :>

Seriously though, glad that not everyone is childish like that in this forum..

[UltraNova]

@UnSelf

Daf*** ? What the hell happened to you spewing that crap without provocation? Get the hell out of here with that crap.

[S2Killinit]

Wow, Naughty Dog at it again. I swear, without ND gaming would be missing a crucial element. They are just something else.

[Kribwalker]

The Last Of Us 2: Tomb Raider Uncharted edition......graphics looked great, but it didn’t look any different gameplay wise then tomb raider

[Blastoise]

Difference is Ellie is a likable character. Lara isn't a badass anymore, she's always whining and her voice actress is dreadful.

Naughty Dog are just the best at this kind of thing

[Eonjay]

Um you had to dig deep for that one lol.

[UCForce]

It’s look more dark,gritty and brutal.

[rainslacker]

Seriously? There were several new elements added to the game play.

Better stealth than before. More ways to move around and use the environment. New weapons and better fluidity between them....although that can be viewed as a step back since they went more for realism of usage in the first one, and looks to be some new crafting techniques.

The game play of TLOU is far and away more involved than what I've seen from Tomb Raider, and it's nowhere near as arcade like as either UC or TR.

[Drakeized]

Doesn't matter . PS4 owners get to play both.

[twiggytree12]

"it didn’t look any different gameplay wise then tomb raider"

You mean that game that completely ripped off Uncharted? You know Uncharted.... That game that was developed by the same studio that created The Last of US?

[Hardiman]

You know what you are doing and there's no way you believe that unless you are being deliberately obtuse!

[Chevalier]

@Krib

" God of war mixed the gameplay up from the previous ones and was quite different then anything else. This one not so much"

Wtf? Tomb Raider only wishes it was as good as a Naughty Dog game. Krib trying so hard to downplay TLOU2 reeks of desperation. Love the 'owning' all the systems angle to try to downplay Sony exclusives, very original. As original as say Tomb Raider ripping off elements from Uncharted and TLOU. The angle that TLOU has to 'mix it up' is hilarious. Maybe you haven't heard the saying don't mess for a good thing.

[doggo84]

The last of us 2 us about 3notches better than tomb raider. This reveal was nothing shirt of mind blowing. This and ghost of tsushima too.

[outsider1624]

Also the ai in Sottr didnt look that great. The part where there two guys together. one left to check out the distraction and lara killed the other. Lmao..the other guy comes back and says "hey a body! Looks recent" ..wtf, lmao he was just killed a sec ago.

[GamesMaster1982]

You got to be high . It probs was the most best looking trailer this year . Look hate PlayStation if you want . That is coming from a ps fan that has liked halo since the first one and I still do . But bad graphics , you just trolling now bud simple as that .

[Davidgr2]

Are you crazy? Tomb Raider looks outdated compared to TLOU 2. Ai on Tomb Raider is so dumb. Btw when you’re comparing use “than” not “then” ..because then you’ll seem an idiot.

[Hungryalpaca]

What? Did we watch the same trailers?

[Vizigoth04]

Well that being said Shadow of The Tomb Raider is coming to PS4 as well so we're winning twice.

[pinkcrocodile75]

OK OK, take a deep breath or nip off and knock one out. Then come back and talk.

I loved the trailer to TLOU2, the lezzing it up scene was very sweet then coupled with the ultra-violence later on made for fractious viewing.

I'm waiting for Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Assasins Creed Odysee, ori, gears 5 and Spiderman personally

I'm not going to play this, not because it isn't good but because Zombie games (I know infected / spores etc are till the same to me) freak me out (I'm the same with SOD2 mind)

[Flewid638]

It looked more like TLOU than Tomb Raider to me.

[Christopher]

You're blind of you can't see the differences or you're just boiling it down to the most basic concepts to make a remark that can be made about most games out there compared to others.

I guess Ellie is climbing trees and shooting arrows while Lara is using environments in dynamic ways for cinematic combat moments?

Have we entered a world where we can't have similar concepts with different storylines in gaming now or are you just making comments to rile others up? It's not like these will be releasing at the same time either.

[ComBaTs0uL-79]

Haha I was thinking the exact same think it does look and play a lot like tombraider anyone who says different isn't looking at the same game clip

[DigitalRaptor]

Delusional.

Rainslacker and Christopher TORE you a new one with facts. The directors of the game were interviewed post-conference and everything that they talked about that was new and unique to The Last of Us Part II was confirmed and corroborated in the gameplay.

You're only here to troll... calling it UNDERWHELMING, meanwhile it's taking away E3 award nominations like the rest of the PS4 exclusives.. ;)

[Atticus_finch]

Beautiful, emotional, brutal and impeccable. I am beyond impressed.
Damn! I knew it would be good but WOW.

[S2Killinit]

I don't know how Naughty Dog does it, but damn!

[gameslayer2411]

I agree, but the amount of people saying that they won't be purchasing it because of the lesbian imagery/scenes is already quite staggering, and I have to say, I'm incredibly disappointed with the lack of mature gamers in the current market.

[Atticus_finch]

They are inspired by the bigot in chief, It truly is a shame.

[Salooh]

I don't like homo, i was even expecting this scene because of the dlc yet when i saw it, it really killed the mood for a minute. So imagine those who didn't expect it.

I am still buying it but i understand why others wont, buying it or not doesn't make a person smart or not. It's their choice -.- . I don't watch music movies/games, does that mean there is a lack of maturity ?. I see from them a bad influenece/behaviour and it is repulsive to me and not my taste, so i avoid them, that's my right to do. Same in here but since it is only small part of the game i choose to ignore it, others don't and that's fine. It is their freaking choice !

You people so emotional and offensive to others beliefs, seems like you have the ultimate truth with these type of issues, share with us your objective morality so that we can grow like you -.-

[Christopher]

***share with us your objective morality so that we can grow like you ***

Treat others as you would wish them to treat you.

[Salooh]

''Treat others as you would wish them to treat you.''

Yes, You don't want me to say homo is wrong or right, well you don't get to say it too.

Just share your own opinion about it and keep it to your self. That's fair to both sides.

As for proving who is right and wrong, that's a different style of discussion/debate that most people don't use lately. I would respect those who hold beliefs based on evidence. It doesn't matter if this evidence truly is reality or not. Bringing evidence about your beliefs shows you are honest and trying. Admitting and fixing mistakes is another hint that you are honest.

[Lamboomington]

The combat was the most intense thing ever. The amazing thing is a lot of that will be a part of the normal combat systems and not fully canned sequences, judging by the first game.

[rainslacker]

Certainly stepped it up in the game play department. Graphics are amazing.

Ghosts also now became an instant buy for me. I like they made it more like how people fight with katanas, instead of just hack and slash focused....and it was absolutely gorgeous.

Death Stranding looked great, but now I am more confused than ever. But I think it's going to be a mind f**k kind of game....as would be expected from Kojima.

And Spider-man is looking better than ever. Can't wait.:)

[rainslacker]

I rewatched the trailer this morning, and it seems he might be someone who delivers the dead. At one point, he's carrying a body on his back. The entities I'm not so sure about, or what relation to life/death the characters have. Some interesting theories out and about though.

[combatcash]

Wow simply wow!!! This looks fantastic, I just wish they would remove the whole hiding in grass feature, IMO it takes away from the experience when a decent portion of the character is exposed, and the AI still behaves like they can't see you.

[Strange_Evil]

Make room boys... Game of the generation incoming

[OB1Biker]

The game play looks phenomenal and graphics too. My problem though, just like for Death Stranding, is we don't really know what it's about and too many question marks while it was said to be a deep dive.
Hopefully ND won't dodge too many questions.

[Veneno]

Gameplay looks exactly the same as the first game, just prettier and tighter animations. I was hoping for some surprises. But I know the story will be great which is what will keep me going.

[babadivad]

I'm hyped. I know this is kind of ridiculous refering to a zombie game. But this game seems less realistic than the Original.

How are the human enemies so stupid? On TLoU 1, human enemies were the toughest ones. They seem Tomb Raider stupid on this game.

How are they not seeing her? She ran into the grass that you have surrounded. So Shoot into the grass. It's just a small patch.

I hope this was just a show case of how you will take out enemies and not a true indication of how intelligent the A.I. is.

I'm hyped either way because I want te see how tye story continues. I'm just mildly disappointed by the AI.

We'll see.

[Goldby]

It was probably programs that wY for the reveal gameplay trailer, to show the mechanics they wanted to without leaving the ai up to chance at Messi g up the gameplay

[Christopher]

You're arguing design, not AI.

The design question is if the game is more focused on shooting or stealth. Can Ellie last in a gun fight with multiple enemies at once or is the design to utilize stealth more to take them out one or two at a time?

If it's stealth focused, then AI design should match that. That means you need to have AI that stops shooting at times when otherwise it would spell your death because one or two shots is all it takes.

I get your complaint, but AI should not be designed to necessarily be realistic but to match the game design. If it was realistic, then they wouldn't just hide behind cover and would approach us constantly and shoot at us and we would never live. But AI is designed to use cover and not do that so we can win.

[ziggurcat]

Difficulty level affects how smart the enemies are - playing on easy let’s you get away with so much more than if you were playing this on the hardest difficulty.

[IamTylerDurden1]

The Last of Us II was easily the best demo/trailer shown at all of E3. Naughty Dog truly are artists at the highest level of game development.

Visuals were breathtaking and animations were the best i have ever seen. The melee combat was fluid and dynamic, almost hard to believe it was real.

The enemy AI was remarkably lifelike and the combat had a beautiful ebb and flow to it from intense stealth to brutal combat. It was honestly next level, it almost looked next gen.

The demo was violent, but also beautiful and touching and real. This franchise has a real weight to it, you can tell that there is so much depth and such thoughtful writing. No other studio does it quite like Naughty Dog.

[skydragoonityx]

Naughty dog doing what they do best... RIP to any competition

[RadicalCannibal]

You gotta love a bit of lezzer action

[NicSage]

Lez of Us

[pinkcrocodile75]

What is it with Straight Guys and "Rug Munching" I've never understood it.

I think it was sweet and well done. I know you'd probably want a "Ga$h-a thon". Filthy buggers. LOL

[RememberThe357]

It's like having a juicy steak sitting in front of you then the cook comes out a plops an other right next to it. If you knew you didn't have to finish both you'd all for it, more the merrier.

[Reckless_Love]

Gashathon made me chuckle.

[Nicknasty]

Ehh, maybe if you're a pimply faced teenager. Seen it all already and it's starting to just get annoying now. It's supposed to be hip I guess these days. Lame

[IamTylerDurden1]

Nothing touches that gameplay trailer. TLoU II is next level. Sony won E3 on the quality of their gameplay.

[Sevir]

They have no competition... Is is another 9 million plus seller at release.

[ABeastNamedTariq]

Wonderful.

Before anyone whines, no one cares about your wrong opinion, let the developers make the story and characters they want.

Oh, also, must say, this format is horrible. Sony loves to fix what isn't broken when it comes to their conference formats lmao.

[Saijahn]

Nobody cares about your wrong opinion - you to you.

Can't wait for this game though

[OffRoadKing]

"no one cares about your wrong opinion", you get the irony of your comment, right?

[tethered]

Unfortunately he doesn't.

[ABeastNamedTariq]

Yes. And I don't care. I said what I said.

Ding dong your opinion is wrong. Gay people exist. Get over it.

[ILostMyMind]

100% agree.

[Highlife]

You can be gay all you want but my opinion is mine not right or wrong an opinion. I think it's gross. We weren't meant to be gay. But I'm not going to tell someone how to live their life.

[ravinash]

I think that kind of the point.
Their not trying to turn you gay. They just want to be allowed to live out their lives without getting beaten up in the street for being who they are.

[pinkcrocodile75]

You can believe what you want, but it's just that a silly little belief, not a fact.

To think I wasn't meant to be this way is insulting. As if I am uable to understand my own self.

[Anzil]

@Pinkcrocodile75 There is no reason for anything. Life exists cause it can and gays exist because they can. Saying homosexuality for the human race is a ok-good thing would be a huge stretch. It just is. Understanding yourself therefore other are wrong is a terrible, child like argument. As for you being insulted... you’ll have to get over that yourself.

[bigmalky]

You're the only one whining here, bub.

[Eiyuuou]

The thing is, a "wrong opinion" is an oxymoron. Opinions are subjective by nature, so can't be right or wrong. However, they can be wrongly fundamented.

However, I am speaking about factual right and wrong. An opinion can be right or wrong from a moral point of view because that too is subjective.

[Christopher]

Opinions can be wrong.

Kind of like the opinion that climate change is not happening or the Earth is flat.

Where the hell do you people come up with your logic?

[ziggurcat]

You can have an opinion that is wrong.

[Eiyuuou]

@Christopher

I could explain it, but you'll most likely not even see it due to how the system works.

Also, "you people"? No need for this aggression. Please don't group me together with God knows who you have in mind.

[gigoran]

ABeastNamedTariq, bro

Thanks for the blumkin last night

[ABeastNamedTariq]

I had to look that one up on Urban Dictionary. How unsanitary.

[OffRoadKing]

"Gay people exist. Get over it."

And there are people who disagree with the choice and the agenda, you get over it.

[Psychotica]

"Homophobia" that little insult to try and shame people for standing up against perversion..

[tethered]

lol at this entire thread! It' okay for people to have differing opinions. Amazing how angry some people get.

[SpaceRanger]

Absolutely spectacular!!! Easy E3 win for Sony with just that gameplay and trailer.

[Concertoine]

lol, spoke too soon

Format was bad, think all can agree. Games looked good, and there'll be more shown this year as always

I think Microsoft had more ground to gain but their format was definitely better.

Right now? I give it to Bethesda. If Rage 2 wasn't leaked it would've been a home run. But even then, new Wolf, new Doom, Fallout 76 didn't disappoint.

Now... on to Nintendo, the least leaky one of them all.

[SpaceRanger]

Spoke too soon? Format of just games was excellent. No PR nonsense at all and plenty of surprises.

I think we can all agree that we’d rather see gameplay than teaser trailers like many of these past shows. The push for SP games was refreshing.

[GTgamer]

Bethesda ain't show nothing 😂😂😂 they just announced stuff

[Sunny_D]

Why is the format so bad when literally they moved once after one game? Lol

[nix]

Thank God they stopped after moving once... The momentum just pauses when you randomly have an interview. They did it for the ppl there but forgot that millions will be watching it live and for us it's stupid thing to do.

Honestly I would have liked to take a walk after that TLOU 2 footage. hahaha...

[doggo84]

Fallout 76 will be a dumpster fire. Full on multiplayer focus, vomit.

[kneon]

The intermission was odd, why did they change venues part way through? I've been to dozens of conferences and I've never seen that before.

[No Way]

GTGamer - is it easy being that ignorant?

[Vegamyster]

The attention to detail in the gameplay is phenomenal, love the animations.

[salmonade]

What about the blood and kills. When she stabbed that dude's neck I was disgusted lol in a good way. Looks amazing.

[Eidolon]

The seamlessness of it was most amazing, super immersive.

[I_am_Batman]

Yeah those animations are top notch. I love how the arrows fell out of the quiver when Ellie killed that woman at 10:30. Hopefully this kind of stuff makes it into the final build of the game.

[maybelovehate]

The animation is top notch, no doubt. But it did feel very scripted. Almost like they are playing the game for us by picking what animation to do depending on the situation. But regardless it looked amazing.

[Vegamyster]

I agree, it wouldn't surprise me if certain moments of those scenes don't happen or are different, similar to what they did in TLOU1 but you never know.

[Sevir]

If it's seen here it can be replicated in your own play through, that's the beauty of variables in a complex and well done contextual gameplay mechanic system... "Of you do this, at this moment, when this is happening, then this is the outcome"... This was something they created in The first Game and expanded on in Uncharted 4 and now it's a full blown robust web of different results...

This isn't scripted, it's them triggering situation after rehearsing the game weeks on end and you seeing the result from one way of playing.

[ClayRules2012]

Naughty Dog are raising the bar even higher than I expected them too.

The game looks stunning, not just visually, but in terms of animations, atmosphere, and the combat. That was so brutal, intense, and made me cringe (because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing) and now I can’t wait to experience The Last of Us world again, which looks to be even more corrupt & interesting than before.

Never seen anything like it. The way Ellie crawled under the truck, to how she adjusted her backpack onto her shoulder while running, after being shot, to just how brutal and intense the combat was. And Ellie cutting that guys head off was sick.

Nod to Sucker Punch, their game looks stunning in its own right. The world looks insane & rich with color. The grass fields were so beautiful to look at. Loving the combat too.

[Ceaser9857361]

This game alone wins everything for me.. Damn!! Take a bow Naughty Dogs.. You guys...... Damn!

[Gaming4Life1981]

Was already gonna buy this but now Im buying 10 copies, naughty dog must live......lol

[VerminSC]

Mind blown

[GamesMaster1982]

Looks absolute amazing fan or not, this looks incredible. You all can’t deny that . But truth here I own most next gen systems , but Sony have smashed it yet again

[VsAssassin]

The trailer was meaty. Many additional mechanics are in place: shooting while lying down, being able to hide under vehicles, dodging. Cool! Can't wait for a release date. Overall, the Sony presser was sumptuous to say the least.

[lociefer]

And jumping, kinda. Like when she jumped to the other side of the collapsing terrain without a button prompt. Omg i hope there's a jump button

[Sevir]

The hud was minimal, and they probably turned off button prompts displays for presentation purpose.

[corroios]

Top e3 game. Set and done

[Inzo]

Sorry that title belongs to Death Stranding.

[Sevir]

The stealth portion of Death Stranding trailer was the most interesting portion

[NXFather]

That Honor goes to Gost of Tushima.

[Relientk77]

You're damn right I'm buying this game

[Anorexorcist]

I love how the thumbnail for this article highlights the potential lesbo possibilities in this new game.

[Platformgamer]

a little scripted but yes, that was awesome

[leemo19]

Can't wait to play, could careless about the lesbian thing, just as long it goes well with the story and Neil isn't doing it just to please his sjw friends.

[Ninver]

Instant system seller. Naughty dog has outdone themselves again. Absolutely brutal gameplay that keeps you on the edge pf your seat.

[Blu3_Berry]

I'm so sad we didn't get to see Joel.

WHERE'S JOEL???!!!

[Eonjay]

Well they say very early in the trailer that he is alive. Without giving away to much listen to Ellie's conversation in the beginning with the man. It's right there.

[salmonade]

Didn't that Asian-American dude say to Ellie, "Just finished talking to your Dad" or something like that, and also about patrols...
I thought he was referring to Joel, and saying that he's like her Dad? hmm. Well I'll watch it again lol

[Suave_Langosta]

Ah this series pulled me into getting a PS4, finally played it, was hooked instantly, can not wait for this game!

[GrizToof]

I have no problem with the lesbian thing honestly, but i don't like the how they shoved it in your face the way they did in this trailer. Why couldn't they have just left it for us to find out naturally when playing the game? I will tell you why, because everyone has to show you how progressive they are these days and they love to force their agenda on you to prove their tolerance. The people that do this still haven't figured out that this does not work and has the opposite effect and makes you seem like a bunch of homophobes that are trying so hard to fit in but actually makes you stick out like a sore thumb. The world will not become a better place if you try and force it, you could have let this moment been a lot more special if you hadn't forced it onto us. Hopefully the game won't be affected too much by this, and once again so you understand it, i love lesbians.... More than you could ever imagine.... Do you see what it reads like when i force it? Kinda creepy right, don't do it like that, stop it!

[gameslayer2411]

I mean...if you played the first games DLC...you probably would've figured it out then. Considering the whole kissing a girl scene in that too. It's not like it was supposed to be a big shocker...

[nix]

I also felt that they could have done without the kissing scene only because now all this game will be talked about is for that 3 second scene.

Anyway, that's the game director's call. I hope he knows he just opened the Pandora's Box.

[lociefer]

Exactly what i was thinking, it felt a little shoehorned in the trailer, would had more effect if it was left to be experienced first hand a-la last of us dlc, i love lesbians and i think they are the best thing to happen to this world but this is just showing for showing

[Hakoom]

looks like an early ps5 game xD
omg the details in this game !!!! top notch

[DialgaMarine]

That gameplay was insanely brutal. Ellie is a god damn beast lol

[gangsta_red]

Game looks good, definitely brutal and I like that. And yea we get it.....she's a great dancer.

[King_Lothric]

The game is very dark and brutal. Technically speaking is was amazing.

I didn't liked the lesbian part. Felt very unnecessary.

[paintedgamer1984]

I wanted dude to legit get mad Ellie vag blocked him 😂😂😂

[fonduktoe]

To all who visit this thread...ignore the trolls...game looks great. Love naughty dog. Amazing looking engine can't wait to see more.

[TocaCannaBowl]

the girl in red so ugly man...that nose...that face...ewww wtf is naughty dog doing?!?!

[Weeblordbad]

People come in different shapes and sizes, that and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Keep letting people know the vain little man you are.

[GNCFLYER]

I want this game as soon as it's available. Gave me vibes from the OG TLOU and that game was a 10.

[S2Killinit]

Looked phenomenal !

[SixFragz]

I think it's great that they want to do more character development for Ellie, which was very clear. It appears that Ellie's sexuality is at the forefront of her character development, and I'm just curious why it has to be this particular aspect that is going to be explored. Why is this part of her character upfront and center? It didn't weave well into the gritty nature of the game, and just felt out of place. I know I'm not the only one who saw the trailer and was like, what is this? Is this The Last of Us?

I'm a huge fan of The Last of Us. The first game was truly epic, and Part II could be the same. I do now believe though, after seeing this gameplay, that although the game will be great in its own way, that it might not be a masterpiece in the way that TLoU was.

It will be a masterpiece in its own right. My only question is: Where is Joel? The first trailer for this game left a much greater impression on me than this new trailer, which just wasn't as fulfilling. If Ellie's sexuality will be the focus of her character development, a coming out and coming of age tale of a sort, then I'm a bit skeptical on how that'll bode considering the universe of this game. It feels very coerced and came across a bit corny, from the entire setup and dialogue between Ellie and the female in the tavern. Okay, we get it, they should be "terrified" of Ellie, but does the terror that Ellie instills in her enemies have to be revealed through this encounter with the woman and through sexuality? I'm not so sure.

Edit: I'm sure the first thing one is doing in a post-apocalyptic world other than survival is worrying about their sexuality. Yes, because that's the perfect time to do so. The more I think about this in the context of the world of The Last of Us, the more absurd it seems.

[Weeblordbad]

Time has passed, they're clearly in a community and I don't know where you get that her sexuality is at the centre just from a kiss. There was CLEAR tension between the three characters, and more going on than worrying about who likes what. Ellie clearly wasn't interested in talking about Joel, but he will figure into the story.

[andron]

Wow. Really interested in seeing where they take the story. And glad they haven't toned down the violence.

[NovusTerminus]

Game looks amazing.

THAT being said I just think it needs to be said, a kiss is one of the hardest things to animate (See every game that has tried it and made it look strange) and ND just nails it in everything they try to animate, it's crazy how good they are.

[FPS_D3TH]

The flow of that entire chase sequence was intense and beautifully animated. I can’t wait to enjoy this game.

[Hardiman]

Everything I wanted and more!!!!!

[cellfluid]

BEAST🔥🔥㈝ 3;🔥🔥🔥&# 128293;

[jc48573]

I bet gf dies and then vengeance

[Christopher]

That's pretty much how I see it. Someone raids them, she gets killed in the process, maybe Joel gets kidnapped, she goes after them.

[Heavenly King]

In story driven games I care for the characters. Joel for me is the main character of the franchise and Ellie is a sidekick. No Joel no buy

[Skankinruby]

Narrow minded perception of a game.with a single entry whose dlc left the door wide open for either of the two main characters to play lead. Your loss.

[Eonjay]

And if he is alive as suggested in the trailer you will be fine? It makes more sense to play as her to me because if we are being realistic, Joel should be pushing 60 now.

[Flewid638]

Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 2 both had the same main character....and 1 of those games was terrible.

Are you trying to play a bad TLOU game with Joel or a good TLOU game with Ellie? LOL.

Good games FTW.

[MatriXcian]

Completely impressed with the gameplay of this game, shit literally blew me away in EVERY aspect. Did you guys notice the blood leaking out of that girls face when she got shot in the face and her facial expression? Id be surprised if this didnt get a AO rating, everything looks so realistic and detailed.

[Sweetbrandigirl]

GOTY just give Naught Dog the throphy now because no other game is going to even come close to touching this game.

[No Way]

Game looked fantastic! So brutal, absolutely beautiful. Oooooohweeee, I can't wait for this.

[doggo84]

The lesbian part will cause a lot of controversy. Even though we all knew ellie was gay form the first game. Just in terms of sheer quality, this game takes the cake for E3 for me. By far the most realistic and absorbing demo of the show for me. No doubt a combination of the lesbian theme,
The fact it's a PS exclusive and top notch production value will make a lot of people cry. Those with an agenda will try rip into this

[bigmalky]

Looks great. The CGI character faces are too squashed though. Ellie and her partner look less realistic than last gen's facial graphics.

[xenz]

Are you blind?

[bigmalky]

No, just being realistic.

No idea why anyone can't see it.

[FernDiggidy]

That COMBAT!!! YES!!!!!

[bu3ouf91]

Looks spectacular

[GrimDragon]

man I have some serious mixed feelings about this game. on one hand the gameplay looks absolutely sick. though one might mistake it for tomb raider. on the other hand iam really turned off by the need to include gay, gender and racial inclusivity in this game. if its done for the sake of inclusivity this really bothers me, when its done this way whether its a game or movie it really shows who your trying to please and it shouldn't. it should appear natural and that only happens when the situation and characters fit the narrative in question. from the trailer I see no reason for these things to be front and center.

I don't want social bs in my games. I play games to escape the social divide not be reminded of it or be conditioned into accepting it. especially when also the game reminds us that murder porn is ok but sexuality is not and men are increasingly taking a back seat to female leads in movies as well as games as gender roles are seemingly swapped among the sexes. I don't appreciate the message constantly being hammered down our throats across all media I see nothing positive about it. what I do see is the chaos of blurred boundaries and misguided beliefs turning into false truths ever growing with each passing day. as a result I cannot buy this game despite it looking mechanically sound.

as the decimation of heterosexual men continues to grow in the face of liberal and gay propaganda, me too movements, and the so called gender gap, and racial inequality let me just say HAPPY FATHERS DAY to the strong men who hold it down daily with dignity and respect for themselves and family. doing what men do. hunting, gathering and providing for their families. but most of all to the smart men who see the bs that is surrounding us daily and threatens to snuff out our independent thinking.

great game ruined by sjw influence. the game industry is under siege people, if gamers and devs continue to cave to the outside influence of liberal media the game industry will eventually collapse on itself and those who perpetrated the act like George soros will move on to the next thing to destroy because they don't care about the medium they just want to convince you of their ideology by any means necessary. power through manipulation. WAKE up! before its too late.

[Weeblordbad]

Seek help, your insecurity is moments away from swallowing you whole.

[GrimDragon]

that's all you have? a childish retort, to defend your beliefs? I challenge you to defend the game and your views like an adult. if iam wrong prove it.

[LoveSpuds]

So explain to me how you are able to determine that a given game is pushing an agenda as opposed to just including a variety of characters.

Walk up any street in your town or city commercial centre, is everyone white, male or heterosexual? I am guessing not, I can walk out of my front right now onto a fairly quiet residential street and there will be people of all cultures, age, sex, sexual orientations, political pursuasions etc.

Including this variety of characters is not pushing an agenda, it is reflecting society. Taking this trailer as an example, the director is simply contrasting intimacy with brutality, the sexuality Elle has long been established and I might add, very subtly depicted, I am willing to bet that if that had been Joel kissing a woman we wouldn't be hearing any of this nonsense.

[GrimDragon]

"Including this variety of characters is not pushing an agenda, it is reflecting society."
that's just it whose society? because its not mine. its not the world I live in or recognize. nor do I care for it.
as a married straight male lesbianism or homosexuality do not interest me. yes it exist but I don't need to be surrounded by it or reminded of it. its not my world. I don't go to gay clubs i don't have gay friends. my society and the people i keep are of a straight society. don't get me wrong this is not hate or bigotry people are people too me. this is more about what i can relate too or care about and lgbtq holds neither for me, therefore i choose to not be subjected to it. so i look elsewhere for the things i better relate to in a part of society that caters to my likings. i wouldn't hang out with gangsters or thugs because iam not one i cant relate. i might choose to play a gangster game like GTA only because the lifestyle might interest me. like any game that might have something i can relate to or might be curious about. but if said game over does it with violence to the point of graphically intense like this game seems to be i don't want it. when ellie cut that guy in the neck that was really graphic and a bit too realistic now iam just disturbed by it. same with sex if its about rape and torture not my thing iam more about eroticism.

maybe iam wrong maybe there is no agenda. but either way the game contains things i don't like so it gets a pass like i would for any game with material i don't like.

[LoveSpuds]

Your argument is flawed, by your rationale, you can only enjoy media if you are able to relate directly with the protagonist. I'll have to move to your neighbourhood, you must have space rangers like Masterchief nearby, you must have people nearby who have fought in doomsday scenarios like Marcus Pheonix. Wow, you must have, transformed into a fox who can fly spaceships, into a plumber who rescues princesses, fought zombies in Raccoon City.

Whether you like it or not, you have as much in common with the cast of The Last of Us as you do with almost any other character, but your mask is slipping here, and whether you perceive it or not, you have a very narrow view of the world.

I am not gay, I am not black, I guess you would say I am your traditional white Brit with a wife, kids and a mortgage. That doesn't mean that I don't respect and interact with people different to me, I only have a few friends of different ethnicities and sexual orientations but I view this is the same way as I do someone's age or other personality trait, my default position is that if we can be friends I would like that very much.

[GrimDragon]

@lovespuds. You misunderstand. I would be friends with a gay person as much as any other humane sane person. Sex orientation, gender race etc have no bearing on me treating you good or bad it’s about your character and personality but most of all the quality and depth of our friendship would depend on how much we have in common.

Your comment about space rangers and Marcus Phoenix was funny. But no tthat’s an exaggeration of course I don’t mean relate in that way. I meant something with subject matter that interest me. I don’t care to see gay acts in my games and I don’t care to see the type of violence this game indulges in. It’s one thing to blast demons in the face and watch exploding gibs but it’s another when your going for the type of realism that borders on disturbing.

Look at it like this beastiality and pedophilia exist, people into rape fantasy and people into shooting animals for sport. there are people from other races and countries with a different religion and some that can barely speak English as well, there’s also people who are homeless by choice or drug addicts each with a life they may or may not have chosen iam surrounded by them. They are in my neighborhood Iam sure. Do I go looking for them? Do I want to learn about them? Of course not. Society as you call it has shunned them. The masses have dictated that that behavior is not acceptable. But I don’t need the masses to tell me what is acceptable or not I make that choice myself depending on my stance on the subject. Like if I can relate or just curious about it.

Just like I wouldn’t want to see a child being sexualized in my games, or animal cruelty or nazism in my games I don’t want gay propaganda in it as well. The masses may deem it normal. I don’t. It exist like everything else I mentioned but just like I don’t go looking for it, it shouldn’t be forced on to me. I can tolerate it’s existence but it doesn’t have to be a part of what I find acceptable just because mainstream says it’s now normal to do so.

At any rate thanks for the intelligent debate. In the end I respectfully say let’s just agree to disagree and see what else E3 has in the game bag this year. Cheers.

[LoveSpuds]

@GrimDragon
Thanks for the debate chief, it's refreshing to see balanced and respectful conversations here and like you, I guess we should agree to disagree.

My only comment would be that sexual orientation shouldn't be considered in the same way as those other socially unacceptable things you referenced, but I know you were looking to demonstrate your point of view and I am sure you don't see these things as comparable.

For me, sexuality doesn't bother me, it doesn't impact on my life any more than me loving my wife would impact on a gay couples life.

Cheers fella, hope you enjoyed E3, there sure we're some quality games to be excited for.

[Weeblordbad]

My response is in entirely appropriate for the dribble that you've typed. Heterosexual men are being decimated? How self serious, listen wingbat no one is out to get you. Your thinking here you label as independent, independent thinker Grimlord here. You're just repeating the same talking point insecure boys like you have been repeating for the past few years now.

"iam really turned off by the need to include gay, gender and racial inclusivity" You spell it out quite clearly, you're uncomfortable with people who aren't like you. You're a weak, small, shameful representation of a man and as another heterosexual white male, your brain dead little rant here is nothing but that, a brain dead little rant. You're making shit harder for white people overall, we're already suspected of being racist rather easily and your shit doesn't help.

You make everything harder for moderates, you paint us all as hateful, simple and childish. I don't have beliefs here, I just treat people as I would like to be treated. If someone gets in my face about micro aggressions or pronouns, then I can just laugh that off. Why do you guys always use the phrase "your beliefs" not being a c**t isn't a belief system.

[GrimDragon]

“Why do you guys always use the phrase "your beliefs" not being a c**t isn't a belief system.”
From your offended tone it would seem your gay. If not than your one of the many trying to push an abnormal behavior as normal. Whichever the case it’s obvious that you condone it and have no problems with it being fed to you constantly. With it being front and center in everything you do. You support the conditioning of gay propaganda. I don’t. You think having it shoved in your face is ok. I don’t. You think to say something about it is hateful. I don’t. You think to speak on it differently from mainstream acceptance is an insecurity. I don’t. You don’t want your view seen as “a belief” so let’s say it’s your opinion, your perspective. Just like I have mine.

Like you I see gay people as people as well I treat them as people as well no less no more. I don’t condone the lifestyle I don’t care for it therefore I don’t want it shoved in my face with every medium I partake in. Not liking something does not always equate to bigotry and hate or as you say childish insecurity. Iam fine in my manhood, fine enough to point out a touchy subject knowing their will be whiplash about it. I feel the makers of this game want to normalize what I feel is a mental disorder and appeal to the lgbtq. And that’s fine just like they have the choice to make it loud and clear that they support that lifestyle, I have a choice not to buy something whose subject matter I don’t care for.

In case you missed the news young boys are being dressed as girls by parents who listen to a child who claims to want to be a girl a child that can barely understand anything much less why he would feel that way. Women in the me too movement have gotten out of hand throwing men under the bus for simply complimenting them (Morgan freeman) feminist coming on strong inequality among gender in areas where their should be inequality because that’s how nature intended it. So to break that barrier you have women going so far as to becoming overly masculine and men are becoming less like men. The roles are still not equal they are simply becoming reversed.
I can go on and on about how real men are becoming extinct in this era but you get the picture.

[Weeblordbad]

I state in my response my ethnicity and my preferences, I'm not offended one way or the other. I've just been fascinated by some people's insistence that at a macro level, world wide there is some kind of war on hetero sexuality and normalcy. When I simply don't see it, and I just don't think being more mindful of casting and being open to at least the idea of a gay relationship in media makes for a war on who I am as a person.

Like my whole response had nothing to do with you accepting gay people, that's not for me to decide what you want to surround yourself with. It's more about your rather shrill take on the state of affairs for men, I'm 30 years old I can go shooting, race cars, camp, hike, boat the same as I could when I was 20. No one has told me I'm not allowed because I like vagina yet.

I mean re read your initial comment and tell me how it doesn't sound like a paranoid rant?

[GrimDragon]

@weeblord
haha I guess I can see how it may have come off like a paranoid rant. not my intention. I guess iam upset at the way men in news media have been constantly put in a bad light and the #me too movement for me isn't helping to separate the bad from the good but instead lumping us all in as pigs.
but its all good weeb. in the end we all just want to play good games and have a good time. my only main point was that I just don't want social bs in my games for the sake of it just being there in an effort to satiate the minority. I play games to escape such things. that's really basically it. no hard feelings bro. till next time enjoy the E3 previews. looking like a good year to be a gamer.

[Mulando]

Looks amazing but to brutal for my taste.
What really buggs me in that trailer, all that realism but than she get a shot of a pumpgun and she is just holding her shoulder?

[Kingdomcome247]

There are no words. As always, the attention to detail is unreal. The animations are incredible. The gameplay looks to be greatly expanded, particularly in melee combat. Is this a brand new engine, or an iteration of the UC4/Lost Legacy engine? I already knew that this was a day one purchase, and this gameplay reveal most certainly didn't do anything to dissuade me. Can't wait!

[Xavi4K]

Best game in sony conference

[D3athc3ll]

Not to start a war or anything, but like I said I can't wait to see Last of Us Part 2 graphics, because no pc game will top this anytime soon.

And I was right!! Pc master race or not, ND delivered the best graphics game to date!!

Must say I like the violence, it's as shocking as game of thrones series on HBO. Lesbian or not I don't care the way people love each other as long as they love each other!

So far sony won e3 for me. Xbox wasn't bad, but no major good looking exclusives though except gears 5 and Halo infinite. Microsoft did have the best looking conference in terms of size and screens and setup though, so wd to them.

Anyways in the end gaming won, still need to see what Nintendo can do. Enjoy ppl

[MrVux000]

7.8/10 Needs more Joel.

[jznrpg]

Brutal . The animations and detail were second to none.

[tagzskie]

As long it's a great game same as 1 then i'm sure im gonna enjoy it. Doesn't matter if it's men, women, boy, girl, grandpa, grandma, gay, les, fanboys, hell even i can play as a gay as long the story is interesting and fun. At the end of the day it's just a game. Simple as that

[Zeke68]

Looked great - now gief release date Naughty Dog !!! Day 1 for sure.

[jc12]

Wow. This has surpassed even my wildest expectations. .

[ssmilloy36]

she's definitely got ticks after those weeds

[Kosic]

The game looked great. Wasn't a fan of the kiss, didn't really see it build anything (need more story to fully understand it's reasoning).

The gameplay looked the same as the first but tweaked to its fullest. The A.i looked impressive as F!
But it also looked very scripted that I'm unsure we'd get the same experience at all. But if we do, that'll be some amazing coding.

I'm not super hyped on this, I prefer the Joel scenes in the first game. But now Ellie is an adult, there's nothing to hold her character back to play similar to what Joel could do in the first.

Curious to the storyline. Plus would love to see a presequel, something that shows from the original out break to when Joel went through his raider phase and became what he was before he met Ellie.

[Juiceid]

I, for one, can’t stand when certain topics are forced into a narrative just to please a certain demographic. However, in this case, this games story, having a lesbian couple is a completely plausible narrative. The world is near its end, humans are scarce, ones that still resemble humanity even more so, so finding any glimpse of emotion or love wherever possible in a dire situation is all believable. Even better, being gay means less chance of becoming pregnant and having to attempt to raise a child in hell on earth. Totally acceptable decision to go with this narrative here.

[LoveSpuds]

Are you seriously suggesting that it's only believable to have gay characters in a work of fiction when the story is set in a doomsday scenario?

[Juiceid]

no, I'm saying here it works. everyone wants inclusion and representation to the point of those topics being forced. And when they're forced topics, they lose their impact.

[LoveSpuds]

So you get to decide when it's acceptable or believable to portray these kind of characterisations. Give me an example of when it has been shoehorned into a story, just to help me grasp what you are suggesting.

[BenRC01]

You seriously put a pic of 2 girls kissing? Jesus.....

[Psychotica]

Not Jesus..Satan

[rivaldoo777]

Let's be real to whom that's comparing this to tomb raider. The new tomb raider looks like another tomb raider game. This on the other hand looks like whole new game with so many detailed animation and improved AIs. Honestly I am blown away how similar the game mechanics are to the first game and still blows me away with details man!!!! This game alone made the awkward intermission section so much understandable.

[microgenius]

looks next gen

[AAWELLS09]

The animations are absolutely top notch. Definitely picking this up.

[NicSage]

Day one DLC " The Clam Shack "

[pyroxxx]

feggetry bruh,.. don't like it at all,.. Naughty dog is SJWfeggetry from the get go,.. fucking fags

Make good games,.. but fuck

[bluefox755]

Ugh, I was eating when his entrails fell out...

[DrumBeat]

This eclipses everything at every E3 event. Brilliant.

[carcarias]

To be fair, I don't think Ellie being a lesbian, something that's been fairly widely known about for years anyway, is why people are a bit disappointed with that element of the trailer. It's more to do with the obvious, condescending and somewhat obsessive way Druckmann goes on about these things, coupled with the subtle-as-a-ton-of-bricks way it was implemented into the video.

The focus on Ellie's sexuality when we know so little about the games story, in a world where people fight to survive and the human race is on the brink of extinction, is truly bizarre. Worse still, she didn't sound like Ellie.

'Why should the guys be scared? I'm just a girl'. Seriously? That doesn't sound like the Ellie I know and love.

Ask yourself this; if she was straight, would have they focused on her love life? I don't believe so. In other words, it's crammed in their hamfistedly because Neil thinks that it's a great use of resources to spend time highlighting her sexual preferences (like that's the most important thing about her) rather than give us an idea about what's going on in the wider world of The Last of Us.

It was over 30 years ago I was being repeatedly told in school and by TV that there's nothing wrong with homosexuality etc. Not that I needed them to, my parents always said 'Live and let live' and 'Treat others as you wish to be treated yourself', you know? Seriously, I got the memo :) I really don't need some smug, self-righteous, arrogant and patronising git using a £50+ entertainment product to cackhandedly preach at me and politicise things in a clumsy way.

[knight_drives]

Why does it have to be subtle? Just out of curiosity. Everyone who played the original game knows she is gay so why would they feel the need to avoid it or treat it as if they are treading on eggshells? If she was straight then then this same scene could be way more on the nose and explicit and no one would care. There are thousands of examples of "clumsy" implementations of straight romances in entertainment and no one cares but for some reason this should be treated with more care and somehow avoid the subject matter just enough as to not make anyone feel too uncomfortable.

I am fully against pushing agendas for the sake of it and using it as a marketing tactic (see EA with battlefield or Disney for examples). I think it's pretty obvious when you see a movie or play a game that has clearly been loaded with politically correct subject matters for no other reason than to be progressive or to avoid backlash from minority groups or the media. I personally don't see this as the case with the last of us, it's an original story that has a natural and believable evolution in character development with Ellie and I don't see it as clumsy at all.

No one is forcing you to spend your money on it nor are you forced to change your opinions once you have played it.

[carcarias]

They don't have to be subtle and they don't need to avoid it. Making it the only talking point from a story/character building perspective was odd though, imho.

My point is that (and yes, I can't know for certain without being able to read Mr Druckmann's mind) they simply would not have made that scene had she been straight. Which means the only reason it was made was due to her being non-hetero. Which in turn means he's prioritising identity politics as a creative tool/means of inspiration. It feels like I'm being preached to from a pulpit and bores me no end. Like when you meet or hear about fanatical reformed alcoholics who seem to spend the whole time demonising drink and looking at you judgmentally for having a single beer. I'll be paying for the privilege of Mr Druckmann's sermon too :s

Does it mean it will effect the game itself? I don't know. I found it clumsy and forced. Ellie didn't seem like Ellie. If, when I play the game (assuming it reviews well), I feel that Neil is practically popping up in front of me once an hour to say 'Here's a quick word from me to you, the customer. I'd like you to take a moment to think about the LGBTQ+ community, feminism and the responsibilities we all share as a community', then I'll be cheesed off. As mentioned previously, I don't like being lectured to, especially during leisure time.

If the same scene had happened but with Ellie being straight my view would have been similar btw. Why, after all this time with so little info, do you decide to give us a trailer that, from a story point of view, only focuses on her love life? With all the other things going on in the world and all we learnt from the first game? I didn't tune in to hear about her budding romance, straight or gay. There's a world out there ready to kill her, not least of which are the Fireflies. There's also a certain lie still outstanding. There was so much more that I would have found interesting but because of his political beliefs, we just got a spotlight on her sexuality.

Like I said, my problem isn't with Ellie, it's with Druckmann and his priorities. You mention that you don't like things being loaded with pc subject matter just to be progressive but if he can, from my perspective, turn a short trailer into something preachy, then who knows what the actual game will be like? Imagine the possibilities in all the cutscenes to jarringly bring up his political beliefs in some kind of immersion breaking way, when all you want to do is get back to guiding Ellie through the survival horror gameplay, heh. Obviously, we'll only know when the final product is here so I'll reserve judgement but I'm skeptical he'll be able to reign himself in.

Lastly, I don't think anyone likes poor implementations of anything, including romance, it's just that usually that's all it is - something of poor quality. You recognise it, call it out and move on. Here though, for some people, it's a double whammy of cringe AND being talked down to and that's enough to make them irritated.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, all the best.

[RyanShutup]

@carcarias This post almost perfectly summarizes why that scene came off to me as awkward and ham-fisted. Not to sound like a jerk but initially I couldn't put my finger on why the scene was so irritating. I don't really care if she's a lesbian but the scene just felt so "off", you nailed it. Great comment. Keep sharing your ideas.

[carcarias]

Thanks mate, glad I wasn't alone!

[AmUnRa]

So this topic about the gameplay of The Last of Us derails complety and turns in to a battle about gay and lesbian people. I have never seen so much off topic B*S comments sinds i came to N4G, never..🙄

About the gameplay of The Last of Us, they did it again, the game is even better than the first one, gameplay, and the looks are also a step up from the first one. Reservation is done.

[MecheSlays]

Graphics were top notch, as expected after playing UC4 gameplay looks standard with very clever camera views and good physics to increase the action with an excellent story behind it. day 1

[babadivad]

I'm hyped. I know this is kind of ridiculous refering to a zombie game. But this game seems less realistic than the Original.

How are the human enemies so stupid? On TLoU 1, human enemies were the toughest ones. They seem Tomb Raider stupid on this game.

How are they not seeing her? She ran into the grass that you have surrounded. So Shoot into the grass. It's just a small patch.

I hope this was just a show case of how you will take out enemies and not a true indication of how intelligent the A.I. is.

I'm hyped either way because I want te see how tye story continues. I'm just mildly disappointed by the AI.

[ChiefofLoliPolice]

It's a demo dude my God are you a dunce? E3 showcase are just to show the game. They are scripted. Many games in the past have done this. The game will be fine in the final product.

[InKnight7s]

OK, why sexuality and gay things? everything else is perfect.

[CaptainOmega]

Why are you homoohobic?

[InKnight7s]

Why are you homohomohobic?

[Tankbusta40]

The Sony conference helped me immensely... It showed me I'm not getting TLOU2 or Death Stranding.... So that helps out the old pocketbook.

Resident Evil 2 and Nioh 2 on the other hand...cant wait.

[ChiefofLoliPolice]

Why not those two?

[spektical]

the smooth animation of grabbing a broken glass and throwing it an enemy.. my gawd.. this is polish i hope other games can start to dive into

[CaptainOmega]

Ellie beng gay doesn’t change how i think of her. She’s still a survivor and does what she needs to do. Only the bigots have a problem with this.

[LoveSpuds]

Agreed Bearded, boy has this comments section depressed me today, so many absolute scumbags hang around here.

[Flewid638]

Naughty Dog should just make 1 game in every genre.

1 fighting game, 1 sports game, 1 RPG, etc. I swear.....once they do that, they will set the bar in every category. I wanna see the Naughty Dog version of everything! lol.

[Gman32]

gameplay looks good ands that's all they should've show did not need to show the lesbian stuff

[CaptainOmega]

Do two girls kissing make you feel uncomfortable?

[Gman32]

do seeing your mother makeout with another woman make you feel uncomfortable? my point was they did not need to show thats all btw its my opinion if you dont like it oh well just all these other comments on here

[ChiefofLoliPolice]

Dont be homophobic dude. It's just a video game character that has their own personality. Watchdogs 2 had a trans M to F. Gotta face facts the LGBT community in general are paving a larger road into gaming.

[CaptainOmega]

Wynn.

Being gay/ or transgender isn’t a mental illness according to the DSM.

[kneon]

Liberals don't encourage people with mental illness, they try to explain facts to conservatives but too many are stuck in their world of delusion to understand.

[Tankbusta40]

Agendas Agendas everywhere.... Has Druckmann lashed out on Twitter to browbeat those who didn't like the trailer yet?

[Wotbot]

Uninspired, graphically looks good but game play looks dated

[Critic4l_Strik3]

ok...?

[JerseyDon]

I loved this gameplay but why show or have Ellie kissing the girl in the trailer let alone the game itself? Stop catering to society, because honestly no one wants to see that

[CaptainOmega]

But it would be ok if a heterosexual couple kissed?

[JerseyDon]

Um no but that's like watching two dudes kiss....

[Bobafret]

Yes and no.

[Sm3000]

I'd much rather play as Joel. Honestly, as good as it was I feel the first one was a complete story. ND should've let things be and started a new IP in my humble opinion.
Yes, the graphics and game play looked insane

[CaptainOmega]

Their next game after The Last of Us 2 will be a new IP.

[Biunpe05]

Don't get me wrong the game looks amazing but it looks a lot like tombraider also

Game of show.

I've become slightly jaded with Naughty Dog in a sense that everything they do is so high level we come to expect greatness. So it's hard for them to surprise you. But this gameplay trailer raised the industry bar in a sense. It looked as if Naughty Dog had access to technology and talent that others do not.

The depth in character, the writing, performance, visuals, gameplay. It's simply beautiful. I have no doubt that Part II will be the ground breaking generation defining game that the original was. Bravo Naughty Dog.

Being jaded because ND consistently excel, that doesn't compute for me.

ABizzel1 these games did have good graphics but there was other games with just as good graphics shown so far, the new assassins creed ,gears 5 and anthem look just as good and assassins creed is open world.

Keep the gay, sweaty lesbian cheeks at a minimal. The gameplay looks outstanding

Are the Sony loyalist infighting SJW vs non-SJW? LOL!
