IM PLAYIN discuss the recent announcement of The Last of Us Part II, and the general tradition of sequels within the gaming industry.
The game's huge marketing budget has worked out for it, bringing in $2 billion revenue in its first 10 months of release.
I think it's about time for government agencies to step into mobile gaming and look around, this is shit.
"The Game Music Foundation are today very proud and pleased to announce an additional concert, circling back to the roots of Game Muisic Festival in Poland. On April 28th, 2024, the National Forum of Music in Wroclaw will once again become a place to celebrate the art of video game music, featuring scores from The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II." - The Game Music Foundation.
A new The Last of Us 2 documentary reveals that Naughty Dog almost made a different version of the PS4 and PS5 game similar to Bloodborne.
Kind of a misleading comparison. They were simply talking about the game being melee oriented and more of an open world. I wouldn't compare a game to a soulslike based on that.
A more melee oriented Last of Us 2 would've been so much better imo. The combat mechanics barely got any use from me cause everyone just shoots at you, and then the Scars with their bows are even more annoying. Level design was also more Bloodborne, and I love the level design in Souls game, there's a real sense of scale and exploration due to the branching paths. We really gotta move away from open world in the style of GTA and BoTW and do it more like Souls.
Def did good with their own thing I'm so over the whole copy souls combat sheesh I can dee if in certain games it would be bosses that looked like a souls boss but straight out copying the combat and feel takes away from a game that supposed to be its own lol
I don't think we "deserve" anything. Developers make a game, it either appeals to us or it doesn't. Saying we deserve this and that doesn't make sense to me.
Sony has a lot of new AAA diverse exclusives in development and they take more risks than the competitor. Ntm even the competitors make sequels. I can say the same thing about Halo. We know Halo 6 announcement is coming. We all should be excited that we are getting a lot of games that appeals to different gamers.
Lol no we don't, cause alot of new IP don't succeed due to the unknown. The highest selling titles annually are typically sequels. Now, if anything we should be glad that we're getting a part 2 to one of the most cherished video games in history, and its only its first sequel. I could understand if this were TLOU part 4, but considering its not, this article doesn't make much sense.
What? This is what everyone wanted. I loved the last of us. Its like asking, is world peace a bad thing?
We dont deserve to even watch the trailer. You should feel blessed that we were able to see a glimpse of this game.
