Yeah hopefully it's the new comic showing her mother. I mean a prequel showing a character who you know dies wouldn't really make you care for them that much during the story. There wouldn't be that tense feel within the story like in the Last of Us since you didn't know who would die or what would happen.

objdadon2943d ago

Naughty dog never let me down, whatever they have planned I'm sure they'll do it right.

Kingthrash3602943d ago (Edited 2943d ago )

I noticed the girl on the poster is pregnant. ..maybe ellie is a wearing gas mask so she doesn't infect the baby with spores. ......that would be a new dynamic never seen in gaming, A pregnant main character.

Dirtnapstor2943d ago

Yes, we can speculate but whatever they decide will be worth having. E3 come quickly!

@Kingthrash
Protecting the baby was exactly what I thought upon first glance.

DragonKnight2942d ago

I'd rather have a prequel with Joel and Tommy. During the game Joel hinted at doing some questionable stuff while Tommy made it sound traumatic. We don't have a lot of games where you play in a moral grey area like that. Imagine having to kill an innocent family just for your own survival. That would be some deep stuff.

But since it's Druckmann, TLOU2 will be an Ellie game and probably nowhere near as brutal as the first. But I could be wrong, I'm biased against his feminism.

Gol3m2942d ago

Why would Ellie need to wear a gas mask to not infect the baby with spores? She's immune so likely any baby is too

IceKoldKilla2942d ago

@Kingthrash360 Wow! That just blew my mind! That would be insane! I have yet to play U4 since I moved out and don't have my PS4 with me but I'm definitely excited for a new TLoU!

It's almost certainly the comic. We know TLOU is coming so not a huge deal.

nX2943d ago

TLOU2 would be the hugest deal in the whole industry.

Dirtnapstor2943d ago

"Not a huge deal" ?!?!

TLOU2 will be like the second coming...

BosSSyndrome2942d ago

I respectfully disagree.
SPOILER WARNING FOR LEFT BEHIND
In the Left Behind dlc we knew Riley was going to die but i still felt that the illustration of her and ellies relationship was very well crafted, supplemental to the story and ellies character, and very emotional, despite knowing riley would die at the end beforehand.

GigawattConduit2944d ago

Gotta say, I hope this isn't a sequel. I don't think it's one of those games that absolutely demands one.

Kingthrash3602943d ago

We are getting a watchdogs sequel....copy and paste the same sentence there where it belongs.

2943d ago
CaptainObvious8782943d ago

One of the best games in history... and it doesn't need a sequel...

CrimzonRazor2942d ago

Dont know about the best I thought it was a bore and very overrated

ufo8mycat2942d ago

CrimzonRazor, but that's because you have a shitty taste in games. TLOU is known for its amazing story and characters.

nX2943d ago

How can you say that the best game ever created/reviewed does not need a sequel? Are you buying Call of Doody every year....?

2943d ago
InMyOpinion2943d ago (Edited 2943d ago )

I agree with GigawattConduit seeing as the ending of TLOU doesn't really warrant it a sequel. It ended perfectly so why take the chance of spoiling something that's complete and beautiful by doing fan service?

I also happen to like new IP's over sequels. Some of you seem to argue that if it isn't a sequel it won't be as good or even better than the last entry.

Dirtnapstor2943d ago

TLOU could be a stand alone, but why waste such an awesome universe to tell a tale?!

fatsodubmo2942d ago (Edited 2942d ago )

Would much prefer an exploration of the scifi comics, maybe The First Of Us that leave Earth after the apocalypse? l Would kill to see ND do scifi. I GUESS I would accept a TLOU2 though...

Goldby2942d ago

Technically ND revealed that the Last of Us and Uncharted are in the same universe. so it isn't completely wasted

Dirtnapstor2942d ago

@Goldby

Technically maybe, however 'universe' is meant to be specific to the TLOU's immediate world setting.

@fatsod

Savage Starlight please. Crossing my fingers for something at E3, in addition to the expected TLOU2!

ChickenOfTheCaveMan2942d ago

I played TLoU not long before I went to see Gone Girl and I feel like those two are so much of the same, unpredictable, unique, and do not need a sequel, but I trust their creators if they endeavor in a sequel and boy will I be ready to receive it.

dp2774072943d ago

Also if you look in the room which reminds me of the opening scene in the Last of us especially when yelling for her parents, the comic Ellie reads in the last of us, a version is on the wall in poster form.

rainslacker2942d ago

Was kind of hoping it would be a mini prologue to TLOU2, but realized ND wouldn't be so crass to end UC4 that way. But yeah, there was a kind of beginning to TLOU vibe to the house. Hopes were dashed when I looked out the window and it's picturesque setting.

IIFloodyII2943d ago (Edited 2943d ago )

Although I think TLoU 2 is happening next (I honestly wouldn't even be surprised to see it show up at E3), that looks more like a teaser for another comic than it does another game (though I suppose if they are planning another comic, they likely are going to have another game too), there's also a Dark Horse Comics logo in the corner which is a pretty big hint it's more about the comic series. It could also just be a joke from ND.

Wouldn't mind a comic giving us Ellie's mom backstory though, we know very little about her.

xPaYDaYx2943d ago

I hope this game never comes to fruition honestly, I feel TLoU was a completely average game and that they shouldn't waste their dev time with another mediocre sequel.

Kingthrash3602943d ago

It got the most goty awards ever....might be beat by uc4 but it's far more than an average game. You opinion is yours but you are in the minority. They can make a sequel to one of the best selling games for the ps3 and for a while the best game on ps4....If it's not you cup of tea then don't buy it...go and get your yearly dose of cod mediocrity.

wars19862943d ago

No UC4 didnt touch TLOU.

solidboss2943d ago

I feel the need to reply to this comment because as I started reading it I said to myself "good for the first time a mature reply to someone with a different oponion on the last of us" until you came with the whole "go get your yearly dose of cod" why if someone doesn't like a game that you like must cod be brought up? The topic here is about the last of us. They are two completely different games. You're right payday is in the vocal minority but he has a right to his opinion of not liking the game.

Gatsu2943d ago (Edited 2942d ago )

I think The Witcher 3 had most awards now.
Funny how I got the disagrees <(-_-)>, when I'm correct and this news came a while ago http://www.gamerevolution.c...

ninsigma2943d ago

Tlou has near perfect story telling and pacing. The character development is top notch with a great cast. Gameplay wise it doesn't do much new, but it was executed very well. It was brutal and satisfying. Mediocre is not a word one should use for tlou because it gets so much right that most others couldn't even dream of.

Goldby2942d ago

Gameplay wise, it's the only game i can remember where it was an entire Escort mission that we loved. that's a first

ninsigma2942d ago

Haha yeah never thought of it like that. I played ico and while that was a good game it was really frustrating from the A.I of the girl xD while ellie wasn't perfect, it was much better, though thats a given really due to there being a generational leap.

Yui_Suzumiya2943d ago

One of the greatest, if not THE greatest game ever made is mediocre? O_O

Haru2943d ago (Edited 2943d ago )

Well I think it's one of the best game in the entire history of gaming and many other people share the same opinion as me also the game won the most goty awards ever which makes your opinion 100% irrelevant :)

Every PlayStation Studios game available now on Windows PC

Windows Central writes: "Many PlayStation Studios games that are ported to PC get dedicated PS5 DualSense support, which allows users to experience haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support without actually having to own a PS5.

According to Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, it's still the company's intent to launch the bigger single-player games on PS5 first, before later bringing the games to PC. This might not be the case for multiplayer games however, which are considered okay to launch simultaneously on console and PC."

My guess is after god of war. Probably last of us 2 that's a almost 4 year old game now and by the time it's released on pc it will be more than 4 years old or close to 5.

Elda1d 23h ago

Every old Playstation game that is now on PC.

shinoff21831d 13h ago

Right. I definitely see what a headlined from a website named windows central was trying to do though. It's cute little wordplay to help out the green box

Flewid6381d 12h ago

Are PlayStation games no longer good or worth playing once they are old?

Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie

Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.

Very very early in development. Still, fantastic news!

Let´s GO!!!

Lightning772d ago

I guess.

How come they didnt either let them go or sell Tango and others to another publisher? Not saying Ubisoft, EA would be any better. (Capcome would of treated them right )

At least it wouldn't be MS of all ppl destroying them.

MS really should let go Tango go like they did TFB here.

darthv722d ago (Edited 2d ago )

one was under Bethesda (Tango) the other under Activision (TFB). Clearly each one handled the separations of their subordinates differently.

Obscure_Observer2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

"How come they didnt either let them go or sell Tango and others to another publisher? Not saying Ubisoft, EA would be any better. (Capcome would of treated them right )"

Perhaps because Zenimax and ABK handles such matters differently based on their own internal policies as "independent" publishers.

Whoever, chances are it´s simply because MS didn´t wanted Tango or Austin to be acquired by competitors and develop new bangers for them, giving MS a bad rep in a possible future. Which could also be the reason why they ensured an exclusive partnership with TFB and its new game, before anyone else.

Sad and disgusting. But it is what it is.

Lightning772d ago (Edited 2d ago )

"Whoever, chances are it´s simply because MS didn´t wanted Tango or Austin to be acquired by competitors and develop new bangers for them, giving MS a bad rep in a possible future."

MS has a bad rep now because those studios are no more. I rather them sell the studio continue to make multiplatform releases, while MS continues to focus on whatever they're doing. If they didn't want Tango around they should separated from them or sell them to, like they did TFB.

It's inexcusable, they have options on how to handle studios they don't want anymore with killing jobs. Not just MS but the rest of the industry also.

Sad and disgusting sure how many will get shut down next year or this year even?

I don't trust MS decisions and motivations at this point. You have to admit they make one dumb move after another.

Obscure_Observer2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Imo, MS separated from TFB because they didn´t had a game associated with Xbox yet, unlike Tango.

"I don't trust MS decisions and motivations at this point. You have to admit they make one dumb move after another."

Fair enough. It was indeed an epic dumb move from them to close Tango.

Still, all to be forgotten, like always have. This is not the first time a big publisher shuts down a beloved and/or successful studio out of nowhere and certainly won´t be the last. Do you remember Lionhead? Do you remember Evolution Studios? Yeah... both were beloved studios and yet, those companies kill those studios in q blink of an eye and got away with it.

anast1d 23h ago (Edited 1d 23h ago )

The studio boss made some money from this transaction. Once the game releases, the studio will get chopped up.

-Foxtrot2d ago

Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately

...

Goes right back to them as partners.

Okaaaaaay...

darthv722d ago

Id venture a guess that TFB working directly with MS was a better outcome than working through Activision to get to MS.

VersusDMC2d ago

From the article...

"Toys for Bob spun out as an indie back in February after Microsoft instituted sweeping layoffs that impacted 86 employees, which was more than half of the staff"

I doubt those 86 employees enjoyed the Microsoft experience over Activisions.

Inverno2d ago

MS shuts down studios because of lack of resources and then helps these guys by giving em resources. Also MS is what forced them to buy their freedom in the first place? What kind of logic 😂

Chevalier2d ago

The best thing is that the company that is worth $3 trillion and owns the company instead of Xbox lacks resources. How the hell does a company worth $3 trillion making a measly $70 billion purchase they 'can't' support. Lol

romulus231d 19h ago

Stockholm syndrome, maybe?

BlindMango1d 13h ago

The reason they would need to "partner with Microsoft" is simply to make a game that's part of a franchise that Microsoft owns. Meaning they're probably going to make a new Spyro game - they're still an independent studio, but are making a game in a franchise that Microsoft owns. It's kind of like Remedy partnering with Rockstar to be able to make the Max Payne remakes.

shinoff21831d 13h ago

It was probably the deal to get released from Ms

Sciurus_vulgaris2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.

Chevalier2d ago

That's absolutely 💯 BS. Any sane 'autonomous' company would NOT put their games on Gamepass day 1 like COD will lose probably billions.

Also they're all under Xbox game studios so any autonomy is an illusion.

PhillyDonJawn1d 19h ago

No, I'm sure MS can and does step in when they want something done specifically but I'm also sure they let them also work independently

shinoff21831d 13h ago

I highly highly doubt this. Ms controls all. The guys aren't gonna be allowed to just shut something down like that without approval. No way

Elda2d ago

Either a kiddie game or something uninteresting.

Obscure_Observer2d ago

Don´t worry. You won´t be playing it anyway since their next game will possible be a next gen Xbox console game.

Elda2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Don't worry about my comments.

PhillyDonJawn1d 19h ago

Right probably something like astrobot

romulus231d 19h ago

Nah he said "uninteresting", lots of people are interested in Astro Bot.

Elda1d 17h ago

Never Astro Bot. Astro Bot looks better than any exclusive released on XB this entire generation & believe there hasn't been much.

Asplundh1d 16h ago

Crash 4 was good, so I'm hopeful.

PhillyDonJawn1d 15h ago

Hey you said that about SOT and looks like many ppl on PS is playing it. You also found bugsnax interesting ffs your opinion hold no weight lol.

Elda1d 14h ago (Edited 1d 14h ago )

Bugsnax is BS, tried it & quickly deleted it. It's a game that fits right on Gamepass. PS5 owners that are probably playing the boring SOT you could count on one hand. LMAO!!...don't try to come for me.

PhillyDonJawn1d 12h ago

So you admit bugsnax interested you enough to try? 😂 someone gotta call you out on the foolishness.

Pretty much. My son knows my info.

Yeah worrying about digital ownership when you’re on the other side of the grass seems a little strange, but also on brand for these millennial journalists to worry about.

I'm sure Keith will be happy to hear he's a millennial journalist.

Goodguy013d ago

I suppose if I have kids, I'd just give em my account details by retirement age. If I die young then...idk lol.

CrimsonWing692d ago

Yea, I mean just give someone the password to your account. Is that difficult to do or something? Like, I’m legit asking because I don’t know.

anast2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

It's not difficult but It's against the policy. If they find out, they will lock the account permanently.

CrimsonWing692d ago

Ah ok, I had a feeling there was something like that. It seems kind of weird that you can’t just hand your account over to a family member or friend and let them take over the account.
