GP: "When it comes to video games, major news outlets just do not understand. And it is perfectly fine for people to not understand something. I don't understand the ins and outs of football, and frankly I never will. But I'll also never jump up on a stage and claim football is killing our kids because someone told me about how another guy got tackled really bad that one time. Unfortunately, there are people who get put on TV in front of a national audience to do just that very thing."
"The Game Music Foundation are today very proud and pleased to announce an additional concert, circling back to the roots of Game Muisic Festival in Poland. On April 28th, 2024, the National Forum of Music in Wroclaw will once again become a place to celebrate the art of video game music, featuring scores from The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II." - The Game Music Foundation.
Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."
They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.
I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.
Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"
They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.
That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.
The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.
All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.
What a waste of time and money, what a shame.
I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!
Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait
Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.
TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…
This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
How about the Portal 2 being insensitive towards orphans? Anyone remember that whole thing?
Good read, I like the article, nicely written, and I had to watch that Mass Effect thing again recently and it was painful to see it.
Probably. As LordMe said with Portal 2, there's always something that the media will comment on.
In a movie, such things you see are apparently fine.
In a game, when you're actually playing it, OH NO IT'S ILLEGAL! BAN IT EVERYWHERE!
That is how the media feel. Especially "The Sun" in the UK.
I find the double standards and misinformation within the media startling, which unchecked is influencing the uninformed into unnecessary and rash decisions.
On the subject of video game controversy, we have age ratings for a reason, the media should be highlighting this rather than a sensationalist subject matter to raise viewing figures. Extremely unprofessional in my opinion.
The object of the game (in a nutshell) is to protect Ellie from being harmed. The bad guys are trying to kill both of you, and Joel is a type of father figure in her life. There won't be any media backlash because one of the main characters, who happens to be 14, can die.
Sora (who's like 12?) can die in Kingdom Hearts, and that's a much more kiddie game.
There's a difference between the player killing children (Fallout) and a child being able to die, in my opinion.
If anything, there would be a backlash about how Joel is a poor father figure, not the fact that Ellie can die.
I don't think it will be.
