LazyPiranha Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 At a certain point I wonder if an early digital release followed by later retail would just make retailers blow them off. It’s not like there won’t be dozens of other games in the same situation looking for shelf space they could more prominently feature. Also I have to imagine Sony and Naughty Dog are doing the math on whether or not it’s currently worth it to release a game where airborne particles breathed in cause a global pandemic that results in the total destruction of society...

Brick Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Almost 7 years to the date of when the first game came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, the way to get them to release a finished game was to have someone spoil the entire plot. Cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I honestly don't remember what the release date was prior to this, but June feels pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre801 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I'm still down to play it. I'm curious to see for myself if story is as bad as many who have seen the leaks say it is. May not be a day one. Admittedly, I didn't play the first game until 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Wow. That trailer really doubled down on what concerned me about this game. Hopefully the reviews are better than I expect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Game will be 100GB. Physical copies will come with two discs. In the article they say if you're planning on buying digital to get ready for a 100 gig download, but with the way PS4 games work, don't you download from the disc regardless, turning the disc into just a key pass in order to play the game?

jaethos Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 PS4 installs from the disc, so you need the space on your HDD, but you don't need to worry about a 100GB download. A lot of people have data caps and slow download speeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 When you download a game, you need double the space to do the install. Do you need double the space for a disc install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 3 hours ago, johnny said: That trailer got me hyped you crazy Maybe. As I said in the other thread. (Not really spoillery.) Spoiler The story seemed to be about terrible people doing terrible things, and this trailer seemed to reinforce that. Spoliiery: Spoiler From about the 1:30 point in this trailer there is a montage of Ellie killing other people in a brutal, cold-blooded, borderline-sadistic way, that seems (to me) to foreshadow her heel-turn in the middle of the game and specifically reinforced my concern that this is just a game about terrible people doing terrible things. The plot summary that I read several weeks ago has now been significantly re-written, and has been toned down. So perhaps my pre-conceived notions will not come to fruition. That said, different people have different tastes in narratives, so this may be more about my tastes than the overall quality of the game/story.

Mercury33 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I’m personally really excited for the game based on the story. But I totally get why people would be turned off. My wife hates stories where none of the characters are really “good”. And that trailer def gives off a vibe of just dark, violent, terribleness haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I don’t trust Naughty Dog to effectively handle the story themes they seem to be leaning into with that trailer and their talk that the focus of this game is “hate” doesn’t inspire confidence either. But hey as long as they end up proving the “Joel did nothing wrong” crowd wrong, I’ll be all in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of said group. I'm guessing about the whole saving Ellie even though she might have been a key to a cure, and slaughtering everyone in the hospital that got in his way, including the doctor that posed no threat to him?

johnny Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I haven’t seen people say Joel did nothing wrong. I just see why Joel did what he did. I don’t even think ND would try to say he did nothing wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I will posit that in a world like that of The Last of Us, the notions of what constitutes "right" and "wrong" are significantly different than those which exists in ours.
