The Last of Us Part II Gets Spectacular New Screenshots Showing Ellie, Joel, and More

While The Last of Us Part II has been delayed earlier today, a nice care package has been provided by Sony in the form of new screenshots.

[Nyxus]

Looks insane.

[darthv72]

my pro is ready....

(whenever it gets released)

[RosweeSon]

I’m not sure mine is 🚀🥴😂 days gone sounds like it’s gonna finish it off 😅🤣

[Nitrowolf2]

these looks amazing. ps4 still pushing it

[harmny]

It will be delayed until ps5 launches

[russo121]

Sony and Naughty Dog never disappoints and by the pictures it gives the impression of next gen graphics even if it's for current gen. This ability is only achievable by a few and they are at Sony's side. Incredible!

[RosweeSon]

Sony always do this at end of a gen. ps2 had god of war 1 and 2
Ps3 had Gran Turismo 6.
Really looking forward to this

[SyntheticForm]

@darth

May 29 as of now - a day before my birthday. Perfect sweetener.

These pictures look great.

[jBlakeeper]

Not anymore sadly. The game has been delayed indefinitely due to COVID-19.

[SyntheticForm]

@jBlake

Yeah, I just woke up.

Well, they're doing what must be done. We can wait.

[Larrysweet]

nope no date now

[oasdada]

Hooly jesus!

[zackeroniii]

This is on a ps4 pro which we could almost consider “last gen hardware”...

Fun fact the ps4 pro has 4 tflops and the Xbox one x has 6.

I have yet to see a game of this fidelity on Xbox.

Oh yeah, I’ll be playing this on my 1.8 tflop base ps4.

What was this big deal about tflops again?

Anyways I cannot wait to play this game. Gonna be the BEST GAME EVER!!!

[REDGUM]

That's a real girl/lady on a real horse in a real forest right!
Wow, very impressive indeed.

Damn you Caronavirus 😡 for making me wait longer.

[sampsonon]

After todays news this is BULL$HIT. Rub it in our faces.
At least release the PAX demo. Jesus
I canceled my order because of this.

[Sunny_D]

Right they should release the game in the middle of a crisis where all types of business has been affected to appease you...

[sampsonon]

The PAX demo.
The demo is already made,so the least they can do is put it on psn.
This obviuosly wasn't their fault, but the first delay was. I pre ordered the game when it went on sale a long time ago.
Perfect world?
" We are sorry to bring bad news but the game will be delayed and we don't know when it will release. BUT!!! We are releasing the PAX demo on Friday April 24th so all can at least escape for a few hrs into the world we all love."

That's what they should have done.

[sampsonon]

So let me get this straight. They basically cancel the game for who knows how long, which i understand 100%. But to not at least release the PAX demo they have sitting on a shelf, and then to release these photos is bull.

Like "this is what you are missing"

I canceled my pre order and will wait until it's on sale. I'm done.

[arkard]

Dude, it's not that big of a deal

[darthv72]

digital sales shouldnt be affected by current situations. Physical i can understand but this could lead to a big double dipping of those who want to have the physical disc when it does come out but in the meantime they can be playing the game digitally.

Sony could make some serious coin in the process.

[arkard]

@darth you realise retailers have threatened not to carry consoles/controllers/headsets etc if published circumvent them with digital right? That's why digital is the same price as physical. Even if they wanted to release digital for those that could play, they most likely can't due to agreements with retailers

[MadLad]

Don't mind him. He is easily upset.

[ifinitygamer]

The game is about a post-apocalyptic world. A bit too on the nose to be released in the middle of a global pandemic.

[sampsonon]

then say that.

[darthv72]

Movies like outbreak and contagion are being watched by millions during this pandemic. Go figure those are even more on the nose than this game.

[arkard]

@darth but to release one in the middle of a pandemic, will not look good for Sony. WE gamers understand that this was in the works for years, but the media will spin it and it will look bad for Sony

[IRetrouk]

They delayed the 3rd motorstorm because the content reflected what was happening at the time, or what happened I should say.

[ClayRules2012]

I get the disappointment & being able to play the PAX demo or any demo for the game would be a real treat. But it is what it is. I kindly suggest you try to remain patient. The game will release at some point.

[sampsonon]

"It is what it is"
lol

[xenz]

They dont owe us shit

[sampsonon]

they owe me over $100 i paid for the game. So STFU!

[arkard]

And you will get the game when they are able to release it, chill. Or cancel your pre-order
First world problems right

[darthv72]

but... sampson, didnt you cancel your preorder? So they dont owe you anything since it was canceled... not paid for.

[GTgamer]

Why do you guys like to tell us you cancelled your pre order 🤔 seriously who cares

[sampsonon]

Because we are upset. That's why.
It's not the second delay that pisses me off the most. I would never want anyone to get sick because of a stupid game. It's the way they've handled it since the first delay. 2 weeks after the pre order reveal trailer, after i purchased the game, they delayed it. How the F didn't they know it was going to be delayed two weeks prior?
Now they obviously have a reason for another delay, but they should at least release the already made, sitting on a shelf, PAX demo to show the millions of people that pre ordered the game that they give a .

But no, they announce the 2nd delay and release photos of the game lol.
I mean really?

[GTgamer]

@sampsonon
Nah buddy it's not that deep 😂😂😂 am I disappointed yes but I got bigger things to worry about especially in times like this.

[yomfweeee]

You mean why do they lie about cancelling a pre order they never even did. This guy is an absolute tool.

[RazzerRedux]

lol.....quite the temper tantrum you are throwing there.

[Obscure_Observer]

He´s right. Do you remember when I said ND should at very least upload the demo on Youtube to apease gamers after PAX cancellation?

Then we had the crunch controversy a few weeks later, and now this. This game has been through development hell for some time now.

[RazzerRedux]

No, he is not. He is being childish. Amazing that with all that is going on in the world somehow people think shit like this is still important.

[CaitSith]

Jesus, don't you think you're overreacting just a bit much? Go play your goddamn backlog! It's not that big a deal! Fucking chill!

[Ninver]

Relax bro, relax it ain't that serious lol

[lellkay]

You cancelled your order because of t... Hahahahahaa

[JCOLE13195]

My goodness. I can’t believe how childish you are. There are much bigger things to worry about right now. Yes the delay is upsetting, but understandable. You still could’ve waited and got what you paid for, but you chose to cancel instead. Your loss 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Z501]

"They owe me $100. I paid for the game"

"I canceled my order because of this"

Which one is it?

[Adidjapalmer]

What a goof.

[Spicyram]

Are you trolls really this dumb? do you understand what's happening in the world right now? must i draw you a picture?

[mike32UK]

You f*#*#ing drama queen 😂

[TheSinsibleOne]

This delay makes ZERO sense. People can't go outside. Need new games. Only to delay everything. Games will sell like crazy you idiots! Make it digital at least!

[Sunny_D]

How do you think the game will sell if there aren’t copies being made? You do understand production and distribution centers have been affected by the Covid 19 crisis right?

[Chaos-Dad]

Digital? PSN?

[TheSinsibleOne]

Digital genius.

[Nyxus]

They are not going to release it digitally and screw over everyone who ordered the physical version.

[sampsonon]

ever hear of DIGITAL? lol.

[Ricegum]

People saying "digital" above. You are joking right? So they're going to lose half of their sales just because you can't wait a few more months?

Come on, surely you realise how ridiculous you sound.

[arkard]

@chaos, sinsible, samson

Did you guys not read the press release, they want everyone to be able to play at the same time including people that want physical.

[darthv72]

this is the most anticipated game to grace a PS4. Releasing it digitally wont do a damn thing to the physical sales side of things. People who are waiting for the CE and physical release can still get it when it comes out. but in the meantime... they can also play the game. If anything it may make even more $$ from people who double dip.

I've done my fair share of doing that and i would do it for this game. I guaran-damn-tee it.

[TheSinsibleOne]

@Ricgum. This game would never undersell. You don’t even need a PR team for this. It’s the last of us. It’s going to sell no matter where it is.

[Z501]

Digital is not an option for SOME people around the globe. Sony has to think about all their markets. Not just the U.S.

[oasdada]

People like me who only buy physical would be bombarded by spoilers and un ending playthroughs.. specially these days when everyone is on youtube majority of the time!

[darthv72]

Who's to say you cant buy both? I mean its a legit concern but if the game came out tomorrow you really wouldnt jump in and get your own copy to play? Regardless of the physicality, people are going to spoil it with physical releases as well and those are scummy people but I know I wouldnt want to miss out simply because of a difference between digital release and physical. Im getting physical either way but if it came out tomorrow then hell yeah I'd double dip.

[Storm23]

I can't buy digital. Many people can't. My internet is capped at 100Gigs a month...

[RabbitFly]

You do realize that most developers are now working from home and all the work left is probably taking more time than they expected it to.

[Z501]

"Make it digital at least!"

What about parts of the world where that's not an option?

[specialguest]

-

[HeisenbergX]

This game is turning into a cruel joke.

Hype and interest completely gone now for me.. enough delays are enough.

[sampsonon]

the only reason i canceled the pre order is how they handled this.
Wrong way " sorry no game"
Right way " sorry no game, but here is the PAX demo to keep you going for a few hrs."

[Nyxus]

No they have no obligation to do that. They're probably busy enough as it is.

[sampsonon]

@Nyxus 1. The demo is already made.
2. i canceled my pre order because i have no obligation.

"No they have no obligation to do that"
well yes, they kind of do. They have my money and made a contract that they keep breaking.

It's not that they delayed it indefinitely, it's how they did it.

THEY RELEASED PHOTOS OF THE GAME HAHAHA! on the day they delayed the game for a second time.
Obviously this wasn't thought through.

[Majin-vegeta]

The games has only been delayed once officially.This was unseen.Pipe down child

[Omnisonne]

What's with all the overly emotional reactions? I get the disappointment over a delay but damn, one would think recent events would have people re-evaluate their priorities a little.

[Veneno]

There's something to be said about this disappointing delay. Yes, the world is currently in survival mode but living just to survive is not worth living. getting yourself a nice car, a nice dinner, a nice home, nice clothes, nice jewelry, playing amazing games. These are the things that make us live rather than just survive.

I totally agree that this second delay is necessary for it's survival, but I also agree that the demo should be release so that we may live a little. A ray of hope in the darkness. I mean c'mon the demo is already done for crying out loud. Surely just a demo won't push the lazy media's buttons and turn their guns against Sony.

[Omnisonne]

Again.. it's just a game. And who knows, that demo might not be ready for public release for whatever technical reason, or subtle changes have been made since that time based on feedback, not accurately representing the final game.

[Veneno]

Again, if you live just to survive, your life is not worth living. You need to live. And the game is practically done according to ND themselves. It is not asking the world for a short little demo of a game.

[Spicyram]

Or or or... there is a little virus which is killing people and making people very sick,and shutting down economies, locking down people into their homes, etc. let's seee... could that be a reason for delay? dont think about it too hard, your brain might overheat and fry..

God damnit people, some of these comments are so retarded and full of pettyness, just give it up, admit you are jealous, and move onto something else.

[HeisenbergX]

Hey why not just cancel the game at this point Naughty Dog ? you know just to be safe .. scrap it.

Cause you know people might get infected buying the game digitally from their homes !!

[Nyxus]

Time to grow up.

[Baza]

You should boycott the game and not purchase. That will show em

[MrVux000]

Jesus, the more i see of this game and Ghost of Tsushima, the more crazy i go from possible visuals we will see on PS5.

[jBlakeeper]

Of course...when it finally comes time to play this game a global pandemic screws it up. I’m starting to feel like I’ll be dead before I play this game.

[Kumakai]

I hope it’s ps5 at this point. Just take it all the way.

[Bruh]

God damn didn't think ND could push the PS4 hardware any more than they did with UC4, but this game looks already a step up not only in the lighting but the draw distances and the general LOD as well. Sucks it got delayed but now I'm even more excited

[CrimsonWing69]

Seems like a kick to the nuts with the announcement of the delay.

If you guys want to do something right why not release the PAX demo on PSN? That’d be cooler than pics on a tweet.

[Plagasx]

Sighs... My pee pee can only be so erect.

[MadLad]

Weird.

[4kgk76]

This look amazing Imagine what sony studios could do next gen.

[FloydianAndroid]

This game seems to be a political statement anyway. I enjoyed the first game, but I don’t like the “woke/social commentary/forced homosexuality angle). I’m not a hate monger nor do I have anything against gay or trans people, but to shoe horn it in just because that’s the thing to do these days just annoys me. Sorry for those that are upset about the delay though.

[CrimsonWing69]

Um, correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t she already gay? The DLC for the first one established that...

I get you’re whole finding the kiss in your face basically the same as if someone was jamming a tube steak swell down your mouth and making you deepthroat it, but i don’t think the game will be that “woke” or SJW’d. If anything they’re trying to get it established quickly that they’re romantic for that whole vengeance trip it’s looking like Ellie will go on.

[Z501]

"Shoe horn"

You obviously didn't play Left Behind.

[chiefJohn117]

Doesn't look as good as Red dead but still look great none the less

[fdkenzo]

GTFO :)))

[BadElf]

Wow. It's beautiful, gotta admit

[theshredded]

ROFL Ellie looks 40! What idiot thought of releasing new pics right after the delay? Hype is dying let's be real. This is FFXV all over again.

[Z501]

"This is FFXV all over again"

FFXV revealed in 2006 as FFV13 PS3 exclusive. FFV13 released in 2015 as FFXV as a PS4 & Xbox One multiplat.

TLOU2 revealed for PS4 in 2016. Announced for release on PS4 in 2020. Delayed on PS4 in 2020, indefinitely.

Yep, FFXV all over again/

[theshredded]

Oh boo hoo, The Last of Us 2 is even more. FFXV the non scrapped one was revealed in 2013 and released in 2016. Meanwhile between 2016 and 2020, From Software made 2 games, 2 RE games got made, 2 DOOM games. It's obvious ND is frustrated as hell, revealed the game too early and were working at a snail pace which led to crunch times. 3 yrs should be max, 4 is too much and laughable.

[Spicyram]

The shredded

Just keep quiet. Surely there is only so much Bullshit that can run out of your mouth.

Why did Gears 5 take 5 years to develop? why did god of war take 5+ years to develop? why did RDR 2 6+ years to develop? Why is halo infinite taking 5 + years to develop? Why is ghost of tsushima taking 6 years to develop? you're just a clueless nobody, what do you know about development cycles in the modern gaming industry?This issue is well documented for many games other than TLOU. SURELY you understand that games take way longer to develop nowadays? Christ, you need to keep your mouth shut dude.

[Z501]

"The non scrapped one was revealed in 2013 and released in 2016"

lol! Oh, how convenient

A modern, mainline, standalone FF game made in just 3 years by SquareENIX, NOT SquareSOFT.

HAHAHAHA! I know, you did not write that with a straight face. So disingenuous.

[Z501]

"Immediately, one fact leaps out: Microsoft has a longer average interval to release than Sony, not shorter"

Because math.

https://www.neogaf.com/thre...

3:17 - https://youtu.be/IcUSXub_yp...

You trying to tell me. When Square released this 13 to 15 trailer in 2013. They were starting from scratch? Think about that.

How would they have anything to show? How does the trailer have voice acting if it wasn't worked on before 2013? How are there scenes in this trailer that are in the final game, but the game wasn't worked on before 2013 as YOU say???

[Ashunderfire86]

Damn wish they could at least give us a demo.

[SamTheGamer]

Looks Beautiful. Sad it's been delayed. 😭

[Veneno]

The screen shots show that Joel and Ellie are clearly in the same scene together. I was curious because the way the last trailer was cut it seemed like they were playing with us that Joel and Ellie are in the same scene.

[GameStallion]

Really interested to see how this game is going to turn out. The director is a known, shameless SJW so we'll see if he treats the game like a self-important celebrity giving an Oscar speech.

[gold_drake]

just reading the comments makes me sick to my stomach. ud rather put other people in production at risk so YOU can play a game? get a grip and look what the fk ur actually saying like.
i get that they could release the demo but still.

[Rambokind]

Let's be honest. NORGAFA.

[RaidenBlack]

Stay safe, you naughty fellas.
No need to get half of the team mopped away to get one game delivered on time.
We need more ND products in future!

[isarai]

DAH SHEH LOOG GUD!!!

[Jman1553]

Footage also got leaked

[rlow1]

Looks amazing. I haven't had the time to play this series. But I'll get it next generation
