wow imagine that

This looks absolutely incredible. It's too much to process even)) Im gonna rewatch it to dust.

This is going to be the first game in 2024 that im buying day one. Right after I hear from DF on what the PS5 performance looks like.

> In sad news for fans of Hideo Kojima's schtick

Not really. I bet Hideo himself wouldn't want his name on this remake, conjured by Konami without his involvement, and neither do the "fans of his schtick"

Was looking forward to this for a long time, nice to hear it actually plays good.

@wiiware in what way though?

@wiiware what does that mean?

This is the highlight of the whole thing for me. Very pumped!

@Pat_trick no biggie, I was just getting the same energy from you as from these "other people" you were talking about, with all the facts dropping you did here. And I still kinda do.

@Pat_trick
> Also there's the fact that he seems to be a big Hollywood fan
> These are the main facts that I can remember about Neil

For someone so adamant about not presenting anything as facts, you sure do use that word frequently when presenting someone else's "perceptions" of the man.

> He always talked about Hollywood
What does that mean? I've listened to most of his interviews and podcast appearances, and he mentions certain movies and books and stuff that was influential to Last of Us, as much as any other game or film director that is open enough to share such information would. He loves certain movies, as all of us do, what's this "loving Hollywood" nonsense?

And how many red carpets one must attend to descend (or ascend?) to a "Hollywood fan/shill" title? Seems to me when stupid people search for a reason to hate on the guy, the reasons they come up with are stupid as well.

@Pat_trick
> Also there's the fact that he seems to be a big Hollywood fan

Do you see the problem in using both "fact" and "seems to" in one sentence? Where this perception of him being a fan of Hollywood (whatever that means) comes from?

@Deljo as if that matters at all? He's a character that appeared in two scenes in the game ffs

@Ichiban Furiosa is fantastic, I even prefer it to Fury Road.

@Perturbator wow that's funny, never seen him this young

@Atreus97 it seems we will, this set photo indicates to me that his back story will be covered directly this time.

@PuppetMaster agreed, and it could. I bought it day 1, and dropped it day 2.

As the main creative mind behind the very inception AND evolution of the Mad Max world in cinematic and popular culture for 45 freaking years, Miller has the right to be frank about his thoughts on the job Avalanche was able to do, without being disrespected like that. Especially when he phrased it this delicately and 9 whole years after the game released.

The devs need to grow some balls, learn some respect and own up to their work, which objectively doesn't come anywhere near the greatness Fury Road represents in its respective medium.

Apparently, many people noticed the resemblance immediately. Being a long time MGS enjoyer, somehow, I didn't. I can definitely see it now, though.

@Jimmer-jammer i know right? what's with all the personal hatred he gets? I get that many are not happy with Part II story, but to personally target him like that is overkill.

Not reading the review, sorry the score is way too low for this great remake.

Pointless to guess the release date at this point. I just hope it DOES release at SOME point.

@LifeGirl PS2

If there is an Uncharted game that needs a remake treatment, it's the first one. It is playable, sure, but nowhere near as polished and defined as Among Thieves for example. They need to add more scenes, change up the story a bit, add a character here and there, expand on what was already in the game and make it better and more impressive. For sure they'll leave it to some sub-section of Naughty Dog that consists of lesser proved and ranked devs to cut their teeth on a big project while keeping the Uncharted name relevant without having to invest like crazy in a whole new entry. Color me whatever, but it seems like a smart move to me!

@Loamy the initial structure was you playing as Abby in an open world, meeting this Jackson community while not knowing what Abby's true goal is. It would be some hours of gameplay before that scene occurs.

@Triumph741 not at all, Days Gone IS great. I hope to see a sequel someday.

@AlexPorto really doubt that. I think we're at least two games removed from Part III. One of those two is def an original IP that was rumoured for years now, and the other one may be a remake of U1, which I wouldn't mind tbh. Drake's Fortune needs to be lifted to the level of 2, 3 and 4, it always stricken me as a lesser entry in the series. I know only one crazy person who prefers it to 2 and 3.

@Lyedecker could care less? That's good then, right? I could care less too.

@GreatAuk you weren't on the receiving end of those threats aimed at Laura and her son, so don't act like you know s h ! t.

I think I've seen hundreds of vile comments towards this game during my time on Twitter (which I deleted last year and had no desire to come back since). And who are we to even judge how many f-ing death threats are many or not? If it was so bad that they felt the need to cover it in the documentary with Laura literally crying, then maybe we can stop doubting and start sympathizing, no?

Man, i hate when people downplay this type of behaviour. It is real, and it should be prosecuted when possible.

@itsfoz this is quite optimistic)
I doubt we're even getting it this decade. They are going to be working on the new Witcher for about 3-4 more years, i reckon. That's a 2028 release year. And to have C2 one or two years later? Not likely.

super-excited about this

@Ravix haha great parallel, dude.

Yeah, angles and lighting will do the trick for both Bella and Kaitlyn. The only thing that matters is their acting capabilities, which both of them have in SPADES. I was among those rooting for Dever to get the role of Ellie, but i was absolutely stunned by Bella's performance. And i know Dever is gonna completely own this role like she did every other time i had the pleasure of watching her act.

It seems people underestimate just how versatile the toolkit of a good director of photography is. Even in season one it is very noticeable how older Ellie looks in the second half of the season (from ep. 4 onward) compared to the first. And real-life Bella didn't (and couldn't) change that much during filming, cause was not actually 14, but 18 or 19 at the time. Same goes for Dever.

I actually don't think they'll necessarily go the game route with her appearance. She can have a slim/ripped build (similar to Ellie in Part II), rather than a bulk muscle one. I do love how Abby looks in the game, it's a pretty unique look and does a great job of instilling in you the impression that this girl transformed herself into a weapon for revenge. But i think going slim/ripped way can still manage to portray her determination to her mission, without the need to destroy Dever's aesthetically feminine/gracious features. Although she def has some meat on her bones to go bulk mode, if need be, just watch her in No One Will Save You.

@Zuljaras this is awesome mate

too bad
this TGA really was weak on exciting trailers. most of em were just generic cinematics with no gameplay it feels

Cleared the original and the director's cut (which is worth it). In my TOP 10 of all time, Kojima's masterpiece.

love the vibe of this trailer, the song choice is really awesome, has that romantic feel to it which fits nicely with the protagonists being a couple. Awesome awesome stuff.

@AFCC make that two

Avatar then The Last of Us 2 Remastered.

wow, a surprising ammount of dislike for Druckmann here

@Korgon man this is one bitter but inevitable side-effect if she cast. I love her in everything i saw her in and she seems like such a sweet and kind person in real life. It's gonna be infuriating seeing hordes of idiots attack and harass her online. But that's no reason not to take the role, especially a role this powerful.

I was really hoping they'd cast her as Ellie way back when (love Bella as Ellie tho), and now i can clearly see her pulling off Abby as well, with some nice cosmic justice added to her finally joining TLoU family. And seeing as to how Neil and Craig shift and change things in writing the show to make it more interesting for the fans and themselves, i am totally accepting of a different take on Abby, so she doesn't necessarily need to bulk up like crazy for it. Loved the changes the duo made so far, very optimistic looking forward and i know for a fact that s.2 is gonna be infinitely better with Dever in it. Fingers crossed and f the haters.

Def the most memorable moment of the entire game for me, pure bliss

it's my 2022 GOTY, so yeah

Seems everything is exactly as i thought. Pass

The style is very reminiscent of Mielgo's "Jibaro", which was the single most brilliant short of "Love Death and Robots" season 3.

Better not to touch the ip at all than to further tarnish it's rep with junk like this.

more like Basphemous inspired, really

The strike just ended, so they'll go ahead with the show immediately.

Yes, and now i actually have sound and animation bugs i didn't have previously lol
I did start a new game as was recommended by CDPR, btw

@MattBoothDev sure, i would love 60 fps as well, but it seems that in order for it to play above 30 fps on both last and current gen, there would have to be a lot of code overhaul, the code of this game being notoriously problematic.

@Dusk_Actual would be funny if after announcing that this ONL is more about already known titles, rather than world premieres, Geoff just goes and announces Bloodborne II.

Not gonna happen, of course.

@locoism25 yeah, i want to see more of that title.

Death Stranding is no 1. Elden Ring DLC is number 2. Black Myth Wukong is no 3.

Would be nice to see more of Pragmata as well.
