Y'all smoking Ellie's joint, that standard box art is fantastic, completely different than any other stuff out there.

Day One even if that trailer didn't exactly enthuse me on what this game is going to be about. I'm just really worried that 'Revenge' is all that the game is going to be about even if we get a bunch of good writing along the way.
I'm sure they'll use revenge as a plot device in the same way 'using Ellie to develop the cure' was a plot device in the first game.

The game will have other themes.

Yeah, that last scene is all smoke and mirrors. Clearly 2 different scenes stitched together.

All I could think about watching that trailer is how ridiculous ND games will look and animate next gen.

They're just too damn good.

Also, the scene with Joel doesnt seem to match the one before it. He's in a house and Ellie's outside. So maybe that's Tommy's hand?

I feel like Joel and Ellie go to rescue Dana, and Dana and Ellie make it out while Joel gets murdered. Hence why Tommy visits Ellie and says she has no idea what she's up against. Tommy is telling her to let Joel go, but Ellie wants revenge. Dana and Ellie make it to the end and live happily ever after, but Ellie probably sacrifices an eye or an arm or something in the process.

I think people figured it out.

Trailer is a deception and Dina is high in the cult, kills Joel in front of Ellie to "let her go of the chains" and join them, Elie goes on a war path with imaginary Joel.

Ellie can be seen wearing a gas mask but it's probably because she wants to hide her immunity from the group.

Guys, Ellie is using Dina's bracelet during the game. There's no way that she turns out to be a vilain.

I believe she gets her stomach opened up in front of Ellie during that scene when Ellie is down.

But yeah, there are missdirections during the trailer, and I'm pretty sure that Joel dies because of that Tommy's sequence

Interesting snippet from Druckmann in the Collector's Edition thank you note:
What would you do if someone you loved was the victim of a cruel and violent act? How easily could one's mind tip towards violent retribution? How far would you go to bring the people responsible to justice? If you were successful, how would it change you? Would you ever be the same?

I'm gonna be real, isn't this most games? The trip to the fridge?

He looks a lot like older Nathan Drake in that screen. And I mean that as a compliment. Very well done.

Box art is such a step down from the first. Also maybe I've just been spoiled by Nintendo's latest batch of CEs but 48 page art book feels a bit weak nowadays. With how much material I bet they're sitting on I'd like to see more of the juicy concepts, would gladly trade away all of the other stuff for a heftier book.

That's all the extraneous stuff though. Game itself looks pretty good. I wasn't a big fan of the first but I'd be willing to give the series another shot, hope it's an Uncharted 1 > Uncharted 2 level upgrade.

Yup, that's a dead girlfriend right there. :/
I guess they tried to go for a similarily strong intro, but damn.

Still not sold on the premise based on what they've shown, but its Neil Druckmann, and he's yet to let me down in the story department, so for now I still have faith he's going to deliver.

Not gonna be any double dipping is my prediction. They'll show the enhanced version at E3 to show off what PS5 can do to existing titles and to promote BC.

That would certainly be far more favourable.


Mate, that had me giggling silly!

"Close up CG face" is just as bad as "guy standing there head down eyes up" for cover art. Original artwork is always the best bet for cover art.

Fair enough. I do think they did it to fit with the theme of vengeance.

"What we realized pretty early on is that we were putting together Naughty Dog's most ambitious and longest game in our 35 year history. To tell this kind of story the game needed to be massive."

We are not ready...

It's funny that people say Joel is dead, but when they play the game and find out he's not, they'll get angry and will say why is he alive!

Rating Pending?It seems the nudity was censored in this trailer. If they won't censor nudity or gore then they may get Adults Only rating. After all Sony had the first Adults Only game in history which is The Getaway.
Nudity doesn't automatically mean it'll be rated AO. That rating is generally reserved for pornographic games.

GTAV has nudity and it's only rated M
