Hot off the heels of its State of Play broadcast last night, Naughty Dog has shared the next instalment in The Last of Us: Part II's video series. It doesn't feature any new footage, but it does focus on the meticulous level of care and attention the first-party developer takes with its titles. Titled Inside the Details, you can watch it for yourself above.
In it, Naughty Dog vice president Neil Druckmann talks about the studio's "insane attention to detail." The developer has researched certain themes through books, movies, and the events and news of today to create the most authentic story and set of characters in a game ever. Including a couple of glimpses at motion capture, Druckmann talks about how someone's skin can be reddened to suit the scene or change the colour of eyeballs. The way tears flow upon a character's face has even been intricately designed. The Last of Us: Part II really does seem to go above and beyond.
If you've missed either of the two previous episodes in this series, you can catch up on Inside the Story here and Inside the Gameplay here. How hyped are you for The Last of Us: Part II? Don't cry in the comments below.

I've not watched the state of play, because I don't want to see anymore before I play it. Will look forward to watching these behind the scenes videos when I've completed the game.
But just watching this guitar scene again, it's going to look better than probably half the third party next gen launch games.
All i want is a joel gameplay.he made the last of us legendary.word up son
@phil_j I skimmed through it and it’s what I expected mostly which is a good thing.
The first game was brutal but with the increase in “graphics” it seems pretty viscous now. It’s the way the AI reacts to their deaths.
@playstation1995 Not sure Joel gameplay has been confirmed in this one? 🤔
@nookie_egg. Yeah without a joel gameplay this game feel weird.joel is the man.he made the last of us.word up son
@playstation1995
Playing as Joel gave the first game that special touch. He was so rough and brutal. It gave the gameplay that extra tense feeling to it.
@J_Warrior. Yep definitely.thats what made that game legendary.joel was cool and one of my favorite character of all times.joel gameplay on the last of us 2 or bust.word up son
@playstation1995 Hi there. We might get a short section of Joel gameplay like we did with Ellie in the first game. Now that I think about it, playing as Old Man Joel could be very interesting since he probably won´t be as nimble as Ellie. Cheers and happy gaming to us all.
At some point, Naughty Dog should remake TLOU1 with Tempest Engine, Dualsense, better AI as well as all the improvement made to the second game. It will be awesome.
Insane attention detail = Naughty Dog & Rockstar Games. I could spend £55 on 4+ games on sale but I might end up getting this must-have just to see Ellie's Chuck Taylors in incredible detail.
Seeing Joel looking older and greying is like watching the later episodes of Columbo. He's just not the same.
@ApostateMage We all change when we get older. 😆
Im not gonna watch anything ill just play it. 😃
Yes, i really look forward to this. Some parts look super great...but other parts...a bit uninspired maybe? The buildings seem a little empty, in comparison to RD2 for example, which is far better than i expected...what a gem, talking about level of detail. I found myself just gazing at a freakin' staircase...it looked that good.
@RaZieLDaNtE. Yes definitely.his raw power is unmatched.word up son
@grahamd Lmao, “politics”. Good one 😂
@grahamd ok so?

@ApostateMage not the same? Huh
