The Last of Us Part II will be shown in State of Play - September 24

I'm on record as saying that TLoU2, from what we've seen so far, seems like 'the most juvenile game in a while' so this is really the time when Naughty Dog needs to convince me that it isn't. I really don't want this to turn out to just be some grimdark revenge fantasy; to me such a game would never be able to live up to the prior's themes and story.
I doubt it, but the game's inevitable PS5 backwards-compatibility patch is definitely going to be one of the reasons given to pick up that system day one. It'll end up playing the role of TLoU: Remastered early in the PS4's life, but without the need to buy it again.
It's a PS4 game, PS5 is backwards compatible so yea it's cross gen technically.
They were already testing it out in Left Behind. No reason to think that they'd remove it from the sequel.
Ah, I see. I have faith they'll manage to surpass the first game.
In terms of hype and sales nope that be TLOU2
In terms of last big game yes that is GOT.
It was pretty obvious already, this is just making sure that everyone knows to tune in.
This was obviously meant to be their "One More Thing" moment in State of Play and now they spoiled it.
Lol well then you probably dont want to be in any Last Of Us 2, or State of Play threads, Because THIS IS REVENGE BABY!!
There's a media event for the game the same day. They spoiled nothing.
So Gameplay trailer + hands on impressions? Looking like TLOU fans will be in heaven next week!
Cool beans.
Off topic why is it when I quote someone a part of the original post gets cut off?
Why wouldn't I want to be in the threads? I thought TLoU1 was an amazing (if a little flawed) game and both Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy have shown that ND haven't lost their spark. I'm just worried that, as you said, the game's just going to be "REVENGE" to justify all the grimdark edgy violence.
And if anything those who are already sold on the game should be the ones missing these threads lol
That quote's referring to both that and the ultra-violence that's been shown throughout the game's trailers so far. If all that's 'justifying' the violence is a story is "X killed Protagonist's Y. Go kill X. Become mad in the process." with nothing more to really add 'depth' to it then, to me, the story will be as juvenile as DOOM or the original Mad Max (just without the self-awareness).
Are you on mobile? That's never happened to me before on Desktop. If not then I can't help you :(
All Im saying is that its going to be about revenge. Naught dog 2nd games in a series is always about Revenge.
Not sure I'll be able to enjoy this after I've already spent months drinking at the fountain of the new STRAND genre.
You expect ND to make a straightforward rather shoddy revenge story after their work on TLoU and Uncharted 4?
Yeah, not going to happen.
