It's so sad I know this without having to look it up

Just looked at the trailer again and the tattoo is on the right arm.

gimli2112 · 08-12-2016 11:46am

Sorry yes it is on the right arm. I looked at the picture above and thought the tattoo was on her left arm.

Penn · 08-12-2016 11:46am

Bitemark was on the underside of her arm

Yeah, maybe the way it twists around her arm could help cover up the bitemark. Then again, if she's immune, maybe after 5 years it's mostly healed.

Evade · 08-12-2016 11:52am

The tattoo in the cosplayer guide picture above seems to cover that part of her arm.

Zero-Cool · 08-12-2016 1:23pm

So, confirmed the tattoo is covering the bite, poster below released by ND back in September for Outbreak Day.

Also, I remembered the easter egg in Uncharted 4 showing a Darkhorse Comics cover for a TLOU Story. My prediction is Ellie got preggers and the baby was taken for experimentation as it was probably immune as well, and maybe killed like Ellie was supposed to be. Ellie goes on Mothers Wrath rampage, most likely a suicide mission with Joel asking if she is sure she wants to do it.

There's a couple of problems with that. Ellie's gay so she 1) got raped, 2) changed her mind about being gay, or 3) decided to have a child at 19. The only non internet outrage mob option is three which seems very out of character.

Kirby · 08-12-2016 1:36pm

She may have adopted an orphan and considered it hers? Or maybe not even a baby but a child that she treated like a sister. Lots of possibilities.

Zero-Cool · 08-12-2016 1:41pm

Well she's pregnant in the comic cover in Uncharted 4. Obviously, this might not be her, canon, anything but sticking to the theory, looks like it could get fairly dark.

That wouldn't tie in to the theory of a child of Ellie's having the same immunity causing the Fireflies to kidnap/kill the child which kinda defeats the purpose of the theory. By that stage it'd be as well as Ellie having a girlfriend and them killing her while trying to recapture Ellie.

Just out of curiosity, if Ellie is immune why would she be wearing a gas mask?

Possible disguise, it would be a fairly common sight. It worked well eniough for Yorrick in Y the Last Man.

To protect the baby? No guarantee it would be immune

But Ellie is already infected.

IncognitoMan · 08-12-2016 1:55pm

If she was walking around without a mask while everyone else needs one, it wouldn't take long for people to figure out she's immune.

She kissed her friend aged 13 or whatever. Unless I'm forgetting something else, I wouldn't definitively assume she is gay.

I would agree except that as far as I know Druckmann said she was gay. But I can only find one, now defunct, website that has a direct quote.

Genetics isn't that simple but then again the science in the original last of us was awful. Blind creatures using sonar is an oxymoron.

Plenty of animals use sonar or echolocation. Some are literally blind as bats!

Retr0gamer · 08-12-2016 5:53pm

Echolocation is a way of seeing using sound waves instead of visible light waves. Some creature with echolocation can't see visible light but they sure as hell can see perfectly well using echolocation. Thats what echolocation is, being able to see using sound waves. Why use it otherwise unless making clicking noises to seem creepy is an evolutionary advantage.

Anyone ever get an ultrasound image? Same principle.

Don't get me started on all the other science snafus either.

In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone.....

Evade · 08-12-2016 6:06pm

That's splitting a lot of hairs, seeing implies visible light. Is there even a term for natural navigation by means of reflected electromagnetic waves other than the word sight? I don't think anyone disputed clickers navigating by echolocation.

Retr0gamer · 08-12-2016 7:34pm

If they can navigate by echolocation though they can sure as hell see the protagonists if they are moving or not.

And if might be pedantic to some but I do this stuff as my job and used to teach it so it annoys me when I see people getting it so wrong. Don't even get me started on Sigourney weavers criminal treatment of a micropipette in Avatar!

From a game design point of view that clicking was pretty Damn creepy though.

They could almost certainly echolocate the shape / obstacle but without any kind of intelligence not determine exactly what it is.
Basically, I just treated them like the T-Rex in Jurassic Park.

Fox Hound · 12-12-2016 1:13pm

Do you think they will add much to the game play or weapons?

or will it be solely based on story progression and having a bigger area to explore!

IncognitoMan · 12-12-2016 2:11pm

I think there will be upgrades. There usually is in between installments of games to keep things fresh.

What they'll be I have no idea. But if we are actually playing as ellie this time for most of the game I think you'll see a lot of changes based around that.

Kirby · 12-12-2016 2:19pm

I hope at one point Ellie sees a floating pallet and goes "**** that, I'm swimming."

Official poster released for outbreak day. Someone online pointed out the wolf and now it's all I see.

Plot thickens...

Dammit, I really want to play TLOU again.

Is this just viral marketing for the game or is there something else coming out?

It was Outbreak Day (anniversary of date the infection started in the game). I think they always release something for it, whether it's artwork or other unreleased material.

Zero-Cool · 28-09-2017 12:23pm

The poster from 2016 gave a preview of Ellie's new tattoo before TLOU 2 was even announced so this could be holding secrets as well.

i will be breaking the no pre-order rule for this also..
