    It's a big nothing burger. It's a long way off and with how the game industry work at the moment there's a high probability neil would have moved on. It's a pity naughty dog are wasting time remaking a game that for a platform where the the game is already available as a remaster and still looks fine.

    Honestly would like to see naughty dog do something new but even though last of us 2 was hugely disappointing I still think there's room for a sequel.

    I presume there's next to no chance III doesn't get made. 2 was a significant commercial success. The internet will burn to the ground as people get to grips with their emotions.

    I think if anything, the somewhat mixed response to TLOU2 might help temper people's expectations for a Part 3.

    I also doubt they'll go back in time a bit, with the game set within those first 20 years. The only real way to have new types of clickers is as they continue to evolve. If you set the game too early, you just have base-level clickers and the gameplay could suffer as a result.

    I doubt it will go back in time. Neil is clever enough to know that the least interesting part of an apocalyptic scenario is explaining how it happens of came about it. It will be midichlorians all over again

    They need to do something new. I didn't think part two was necessary, only got around to playing it last week and absolutely hated it. Give us something new Naughty Dog!

    Strange, 1 month until the anniversary of release, I figured they'd wait and just release a proper PS5 version, sounds like they have more stuff to add so probably will see a PS5 version. Just want something extra like Factions or DLC.

    I'll take a patch to make it a good game.

    Make it fifteen hours long, take out the story bits and just make it about using proximity mines on the dogs and their handlers.

    Game of the year edition but game of the year now actually means something.

    It's more naughty dogs insistence that the combat isn't fun and yet it's sadistically hilarious. Im not the problem. It's not my fault it's gleefully satisfying. And I love dogs.

    Naughty dog made such a failure of a game that it's fun to kill dogs. **** you naughty dog

    I went from ps3 to ps5 so recently picked up a copy of tlou2. Couldn't wait to play it. Upon completing it I immediately downloaded tlou Remastered and played through it to remind me that its the best game ever made imo. Also to try and forget the steaming pile of dogsh!t they served up for the story of tlou2. Game is slick and well made no argument there but the story and characters really lets it down.

    Looks good, though I wonder if you can still play it through mostly stealth, at least to thin the herd at the start.

    It looks like it as Jesse starts with a silencer. I'm really hoping so, would love trying to silently gather the supplies first to get kitted out before taking on a horde. I can see different maps have different modes like assault & capture.

    Launch trailer for TLOU 2 Remaster. Interesting, I wonder if this was the original trailer, would people still hate Abby as much as it sets her up as a playable character and why she might not be Joel's biggest fan (and understandably so).

    For all the **** the game gets and how bad it fumbles Abby was the one of the things I had the least amount of issues with and much preferred her to the cartoony Ellie. If only she had Ellie's proximity mines.

    No Return looks great and it actually has a lot of potential if ND allowed it. I could see them adding co-op or competitive where you can be one of the other factions trying to stop a player run. Even play as an infected like Left 4 Dead. Interesting to see if they can add to this at all as time goes on especially since Factions 2 is dead.

    Same here, I'd have preferred if they had left Joel and Ellie out of it completely. The Abby part was a much better game.

    Got myself the tenner upgrade. It feels like enough time has past to replay it.

    I'm actually enjoying it a lot more this time. The shadow of "that Joel moment" ruined the first play through as I was wondering when it would happen.

    Freed from that I could just enjoy it for what it was and was surprised at how different it was this time around.

    But apart from that it's absolutely stunning looking. Some of the scenery is top class.

    Same, I'm at Seattle Downtown and it's incredible to look at. I never played the 60fps update when that came out for ps4 so it's a real treat to play just like when i played TLOU Remaster on ps4, enjoyed it so much more than the original.
