TSA writes: "Sony’s marketing team may be focusing on Death Stranding right now, but many of us are hungrily looking past Hideo Kojima’s latest and eagerly awaiting more news on The Last of Us Part II. With no new updates from Naughty Dog since last year’s E3, all we’ve had to go on are those tiny nuggets of information slowly starting to trickle out."
Perched on the edge of a sofa at the back of a warehouse in an unfashionable part of Hollywood and with his trademarked unruly curls for once corralled into a more manageable man bun - out of 'laziness' rather than any kind of fashion statement, he protests - Neil Druckmann is in excitable but enigmatic mood.

She's a girl who's into girls, which makes her very much unique and a standout character. I, for one, have never once seen someone's sexuality pushed to the forefront of a story that would otherwise have correlation to it, definitely not in the last 2 years or so. Much deep and many multilayered. Can't wait.
Nothing unique or standout about a girl liking girls.
It's 2019, who gives a sh** who you like to sleep with...
it's 2019, if you don't date a chick with a dick, it's called homophobic apparently.
Being gay is not deep or multilayerd what? Ellies gay so what really doesnt need be part of the story
this is not a unique or brave stance when you look at it another way. Gamers are much more willing to play a game that there is a lesbian relationship than lets say a gay male relationship. If the story were about Joel and his male partner and a child they took in, now that would be a risk and something standout in this industry. But I don't see NaughtyDog or any AAA developer ever doing this in their game, because it would kill sales if we are being honest.
Not gonna for at least 5-10 years I'd say. Well see our first openly gay male lead towards the back end of next gen. Probably the next naughty dog game.
I don't know why ur getting so upset and nothing in that rant addresses anything I said.
80% of communication is non verbal, but u already know that so I dont know why your expecting ppl to never misinterpret ur speech in text form.
"It’s so ambitious the game doesn’t fit on one BluRay, it’s on two discs. It’s so ambitious that we actually decided to make it single player only. There’s no multiplayer in The Last of Us Part 2. We wanted to take all of the resources to make this the biggest game we’ve ever done.”
Well no reason to buy day one then. Will wait for GOTY edition.
These Sony games tend to be the complete game on day one, to be fair. It's the third party titles that are shafting us
Correction. No one bought it for multiplayer but a lot of ppl including me were pleasantly surprised by it. And its extremely disappointing for me that they are not including the multiplayer in this.
Not wrong but when they discovered the multiplayer most realized what a gem it was and different from what’s currently available
It's actually "dru"...ckmann.
I'll see myself out. I'm walking towards the door...no?..not even a little? Okay. Next time. I'm leaving now...(peaks back through the door)... didn't even break a smile?...(closes door)...(yells in the hallway).."DRU!"
Okay. Guess I've watched too much Family Guy.
There were four things in particular that stood out to us in the release date trailer for The Last of Us Part II, and we're here to break them down!
Ross @ FG: This week on the Podcast, Greg and Rossko discuss their rather exciting trip to Nintendo HQ in Windsor along with their thoughts on Zen Studios’ Star Wars Pinball. Who nerded out the most? Well, let’s be honest, they both did.
Elsewhere Greg discusses his thoughts on a new multiplayer Resident Evil game in Project Resistance, along with Paul’s concerns (shocker). We also discuss the upcoming Last of Us Part II media event, what we’re hoping will be announced and just when on earth the game will be coming out. Sean’s date is rather realistic, Paul’s hopefully isn’t.
We also talk what’s been revealed from this week’s Tokyo Game Show, including more talk on Death Stranding and the Final Fantasy VII Remake and talk Apple Arcade, is it enough to make us want to jump ship to iOS? We discuss. Finally there’s a massive shock in the Trivia Challenge, changing everything you thought you knew about our weekly quiz.
not need no
but it would be great
it was amazing in tlou 1 because on top of an amazing single player, we got a great fun multiplyer too
needed? no, but it was the icing on the cake
Yes first one was amazing
Yes. It’s been a while since Playstation’s had a high profile exclusive PvP on that level.
No, I honestly forgot the first even had multiplayer. Tried it and I really didn't care for it but I know there is a small group that did like it and since it was in the first I'm sure it will be back.
I suspect the figures for the amount of gamers playing multiplayer in the first game will dictate if it is worth them adding a multiplayer component. Given the amount of content they released for the MP I would assume it was popular enough
Personally, all I really care about is a great single player experience, anything else is a bonus.
