Yeah it's going to be cool to see how "musical" this game is.
I think a break between chapters would be great. I wasn't quite ready to get going yet after the big emotional bests of the first game.
if I remember correctly they only had the opening credits in the first game to give people time to digest that opening scene.
I like the commercials, even as a form of art, they are beautiful and entertaining
Most people do. That's probably why they are effective in their purpose
That's happened this generation with titles like GT: Sport, so anything is possible! Early glimpses are certainly promising.
Whoever is doing these CG trailers is doing a good job. And the actual dev studios are great at communicating their game to them. These ads feel so cohesive to the actual games/product.
Can NOT wait to see Ellie and Joel again. I've missed them.
I wonder what movies this would have previewed in in theaters, had there not been this whole pandemic 🤔

I can see it now: heavy cutscenes
Cut to music
Similar to RDR2, which did an excellent job with the music sprinkled into key moments
Wow. That's awesome. Gorgeous with cool sound. And New Order has been a fave for 30-some years.
But man. Maybe it's because I live in downtown Minneapolis and it's been a rough last ten days or so, but I don't think I can play this right now. It's so dark. The pandemic-caused post apocalypse where society turns on each other...just can't do it right now. I can't be the only one. Animal Crossing mania is evidence of that right? Just realized typing this I've been Unconsciously avoiding anything dark of late. Animal Crossing. Picross. Ori. Fortnite. Kingdom Hearts. Forza Horizon Lego Champions.
Colors. Cute. Light. Huh. Well it'll be cheap when I'm finally ready I guess
thank god for video games.

This sounds awesome, looking forward to see what can be done next-gen.
Woah, the tonal difference between New Order's True Faith and the Lotte Kestner cover version that they got Johnson to sing in the trailer is crazy, lol. I had to buy Kestner's cover of the song, I've had it stuck in my head since the trailer released.
Hype! GT7 please come sooner than later!
also I hope they let Ashley sing some songs in this one. She has a beautiful voice.
She's a bit upset she wasn't given any credit:
Here's her original cover:
True, though aren't racing games easier to manage this with because cars are less detailed than humans and nowhere near as complex to get right as animated human faces/bodies? The only uncanny valley for cars would be an actual valley. 😁
Well this is shitty, I hope they respond to her and fix this up.
I fail to see what "original parts" she is referring too. All the lyrics in that YouTube clip are the same as the original New Order version.
This would explain why they made the original upload private.
The original had sections with "small boy", she changed hers to "small girl". Only difference I've heard so far.
She can't really claim that they ripped off her cover because of those two words
How many other people have covered the song and changed it from small boy to small girl?
I think changing boy to girl doesn't mean they stole it from her cover.
Let's see how this develops.
Good catch - I didn't notice that, but that's a nothing change and that part of the song isn't even included in TLOU2 trailer.
Original artists should always be given credit, but this seems like a massive stretch. It's literally just an acoustic cover of the New Order track, nothing more.
She's talking about the section at 3:30 of her cover which is at the end of the ad.
It's a small bit of vocal harmonising / freestyling that sounds similar. Her saying she "wrote" it is a bit much. I can certainly see her point of view but she doesn't really have a case here.
As long as Naughty Dog have the right to use the song from New Order (which I assume they do) they are covered legally. Their cover version may have a similar arrangement and tone to someone else's cover, but that's the nature of cover songs.
How many acoustic versions of Wonderwall are knocking around on the internet? Those artists don't have a claim every time it's used in an advert.
I hate CG trailers since Killzone 2 and MotorStorm CG "target" trailers... this is no exception
Wow. I was under the impression they licensed the actual cover from Lotte Kestner. It sounds eerily similar.
I love how Ellie keeps her hair is so reminiscent of Tess.
That advert actually makes me well up a bit when you see Dina's expression and how much hurt and loss Ellie had to wade through before finding someone that will care for her in that way. Just to be thrown right back into it all.
