Playstation The Last of Us Part II Coming June 19th

[CerebralTiger]

They'll probably begin with the contents of their scheduled week 3 "Inside TLoU part II" video, and follow it up with 8 mins of new gameplay footage.

Predictions? Hot takes are welcome :hah:

Sorry, middle eastern bros. Looks like you're gonna have to import TLoU 2. It won't be getting store-releases there.

PS4 players in the Middle East looking to get The Last of Us: Part 2 on release will have to jump through a couple of hoops.


The Last of Us: Part 2 is seemingly not getting an official release in a number of Middle Eastern countries where PlayStation games are typically distributed.

Review embargo is a whole week ahead of release, they must be confident in the expected scores.

heard not even releasing on their digital fronts. so uae users prolly gonna make us or eu accounts to get it digitally

 

[NaNoW]

I honeslty just want it to be a good, fun game to play, with a decent story...and not some agendas being shoved down my neck...

I think our local sellers import the physical copies mainly from the Middle East, which means they won't be available here if they aren't distributed in ME. I was planning to pick it up locally but will have to go for the digital version I guess.

Would be interesting to see if there's an actual uptick in HM sales after this


Man, the level and attention of/to detail is bar-none.

Stolen from RERA. Looks like shaders got an upgrade:


2017 trailer

2020 trailer

 

[CerebralTiger]

Yup, definitely looks like an upgrade there in terms of shader quality.

Also,

2018 gameplay:

2020 gameplay:

People calling this a downgrade in terms of animation need to realize that this a videogame you play and not a movie you watch. I don't want another case of RDR2, where animations take priority over input. The reduction in transitional frames makes perfect sense, and the end result is pretty darn close while hopefully not affecting playability.

Man, the level and attention of/to detail is bar-none.

The bullet grazing Ellie's cheek is just insane!

I was excited for the game but now after watching the State of Play trailer. I am more excited than ever. It shows a lot of game play mechanics that we didn't see before. Time for the pre-order. :flame:

RIP to the last vita owner in 2038
