>Last of Us part II banished from PS store >Several games shipping in May 29th but somehow Last of Us gets delayed >Gameplay clips starts to surface >Sony confirms that Ghost of Tsushima isn't getting delayed but somehow TLOU II gets delayed >Rumors about TLOU II running bad on base PS4 >Crunch killing the studio and rumors about many people resigning after the launch of the game
What is Sony hiding? Why don't they want it to release it?
My only explanation is that they want it to launch it on PS5
Considering that PS5 is underpowered as fuck and has heating problems, it's the only explanation
>Considering that PS5 is underpowered as fuck and has heating problems, it's the only explanation what?
Hudson Stewart
One, or both of the below:
>game was not in a finished state so they used this as an excuse to delay the release >they did not want to release a game about a world ending virus during a pandemic, perhaps out of fear of getting banned in China
Joseph Phillips
its very obviously not finished and they are using the rona as a convenient excuse to delay it
Charles Stewart
They probably can’t make it run on PS4 so they’re downgrading it
Owen Carter
>caring about movies
Henry Murphy
Yeah, Naughtydog, what's going on with the game? I know there's got to be at least 1 or 2 of you disgruntled fucks hanging around here. Is it done or not? How shitty is it? Spill the fucking beans already.
Nicholas Lopez
>Several games shipping in May 29th but somehow Last of Us gets delayed It's a game about a world ending epidemic. It's not that hard to figure out.
Lucas King
>What is Sony hiding? Why don't they want it to release it? >Crunch killing the studio and rumors about many people resigning Right here. There's no one remaining at the studio to finish it and they can't hire anyone because of how toxic ND has become.
Cameron Turner
It's not about a pandemic anymore. It's about a brooding lesbian and how the world has wronged her. It's about the evils of (white) men. The infected are clearly an afterthought at this point.
Justin Martinez
nd employee here. druckman has spent the last 6 months trying to get working smell-o-vision into the game despite obvious technical limitations. release date nowhere in sight. please send help
Eli Williams
I fucking knew it! Tell him to just make a Shannon Woodward & Druckmann combo vagina scented candle and ship it with the game. It's not that hard.
Logan Myers
Druckmann knows if he releases the game right now people might have fun with it, and he simply can not let that happen by any means.
Zachary Jenkins
Pretty sure Cuckmann had his male staff pegged by the female staff every day Their asses got so sore that they couldn't sit at their desks and work. All that was left at the studio were the women so nobody was left to do the actual work to finish the game
Lucas Morgan
Sony is in talk with Netflix for a simultaneos release
Henry Taylor
Programming fun out of the game has been proving more challenging than initially thought.
Connor Gray
That was actually pretty good. Nice work user
Brandon Fisher
>le movie joke repeated 100 times get creative you faggots the only good one is
Nathaniel Phillips
delays are retarded, every big game is gonna do it and then they'll all have to compete together when this shit ends and i guarantee it'll be a nightmare. just release your shit digital only and tell discniggers to suck it up and wait.
Jack Scott
It's getting the Zelda treatment and will be a PS5 launch title as well
Josiah Jackson
They probably realized the story turns out REALLY bad and spending an extended amount of time with Ellie is genuinely unbearable
Connor Williams
Okay fine fine, I will tell you. Some of Sony's top execs found out Naughty Dog included a 10-minute cutscene of lesbian sex inspired by Blue is the Warmest Color and thought it might be a bit too much so they inquired more, only to find out much of the game's plot revolves around that lesbian relationship. General sentiment is that ND went too far sacrificing an engaging storyline and gameplay for the sake of a progressive agenda, so ND has been forced to cut most of that content out and now has to rework entire sections of the game for it to make any sense.
Cameron Nguyen
This is almost believable. It would explain why Ellie is sleeping in a strange place with just her top off. She was originally supposed to be completely naked because of the 10 minute munching scene. Sony said no. But they still needed to show off her muscular back and bruises, so now we have a nonsensical scene. Druckmann must be so pissed at the homophobic execs.
James Russell
Naughty Dog are citing "logistics issues" as the reason for the delay. If they wanted to be more believable, they should have said there were publishing issues as these services have gone into lockdown.
No surprise that the devs won't even humour the idea of releasing a demo let alone a digital first release.
Speaking as someone who got a copy of FFVII at the start of the week, it sounds like bullshit.
Noah Morris
nothing is going on. it will release and become a critical and commercial success.
Adrian Ramirez
Lmao I know this is bullshit but it’s very believable
Blake Hughes
Yep, even SE released VII REMAKE
Something weird is going on at Naughty Dog/Sony
Grayson Allen
The game is one of the biggest titles of the generation, it was releasing at a strategic time, and it’s a certified GOTY contender because it’s Naughty Dog and they always deliver.
We can’t pretend to know how games ship, production changes, or general distribution is impacted by the virus. So to assume the reason is >i-it’s s-shit and they’re scared to release it >PS5 launch title confirmed or anything of the sort is kinda silly.
Nolan Torres
loool what would the excuse be if corona virus didnt exist?
Lincoln Ward
Rent free
Jackson Wilson
I just wanted the game to come out already so then I only would have to deal with 1 more month of faggots talking about the game
there is nothing to even theorize about. they want to sell as many copies as possible and package logistics is a global problem right now.
Brayden Perez
If only
Easton Foster
How come RE3 wasn't pulled then? Or Alyx, which has many parts that deal with contamination and quarantine?
Tyler Hill
>"we can't ship the game out because muh sharona" >in this day and age >not bothering with a digital release until can ship physical >in this day and age jesus christ how retarded
Carter Long
>Alyx VR game had physical version?
Jeremiah Allen
Considering the game is directed by Druckmann, i can see some fear to release an edgy illness story in the middle of a worldwide sanitary crisis. I'm actually shocked no stupid article gave RE3 shit for the very same reason.
Jackson Jenkins
Naughty dog is a mess, most of the talent left after Uncharted 4, thats why uit felt like a biug conclusion, people were just fucking DONE with crunch and toxic leads
Daniel Ross
I'm not talking about physical logistics, I was addressing the prospect of china getting all pissy over a game releasing that features a virus/epidemic imagery.
Carson Thompson
Movie theaters are closed
Ian Powell
I played the first game on youtube and I felt nothing despite people saying how emotional this game is. Am I just damaged or the game is shit?
Games in China are a huge grey market and even though you can get a ps4 there the majority of the games you get are Hong Kong/ japan imports. The chances of the last of us 2 getting delayed due to China make no sense because. Even Nintendo who has an official presence via tencent only has like 4 switch games officially out in China.
Wyatt Reed
I don't know who these simps are that get all emotional about the shit.
I'll admit I like it for it's story, I'm a sucker for shit where you have some guy who is just fucking tired and gets stuck with someone he can't stand. And the combat, animations, and everything were enjoyable especially on harder difficulties. It just catches a lot of shit for the amount of cutscenes, meanwhile MGS is worse but because it's Kojima-weaboo shit it gets its dick rode every day. Not to mention the exploration is a lot better, especially compared to something like Max Payne 3 where there's a cutscene for going to another room--nothing like the exploration in MP1 and MP2
Easton Russell
The game is made for normalfags who feel emotions not based on their own thoughts, but of what pop culture says you should feel. You not feeling anything is because you have standards higher than the standard 'turn your brain off and consume' mindset.
RE3 isn't as "on the nose" as TLoU 2 though, even though it deals with a virus. I would say TLoU has more realistic responses to an outbreak, including over-reactions and extreme unethical measures conducted by governments. Resident Evil's campy-ness saves it from being taken as seriously; ffs they nuke Raccoon City. It's an over-reaction, but a moon logic one. A soldier shooting a girl he thinks is infected? That's more grounded.
Jacob Miller
it's gonna get banned in china because of the lesbians anyway
i feel the same way. i'm not going to call it overrated trash, but the gameplay and story don't resonate with me at all.
Jeremiah Young
>calls other faggots posting touhou
heh
Isaiah Turner
>Considering that PS5 is underpowered as fuck and has heating problems you mean the one which cites a twitter screenshot of a youtube comment as his source?
Cooper Powell
I bet it has something to do with the CRUNCH.
Sebastian Garcia
>a motherfucking youtube comment L M A O >dude trust me i know devs
>publisher issues >"sony doesn't want to release the game anymore he justs sits here with his arms crossed and pouts"
Noah Green
Druckmann is pulling a Kojima with the budget and the game is not actually done.
Evan Martin
>I played the first game on youtube Kek. It's overrated. I never played it on PS3 and was told it was a must have on PS4. I stopped playing on my first play through and didn't pick it back up for months. It felt like parts of the game were too long or borderline. At the end I didn't feel emotional, it was like binge watching a TV series with too much fuller episodes. You are just glad you got to the season finale
Grayson Lopez
I hope it gets cancelled
Chase Brown
The game without a release.
Tyler Wood
Sony can't afford to do that, especially after that expensive flop known as Death Stranding.
Matthew Moore
Sony doesn't want to release their biggest game in the gen right now when the physical copies can't even be produced. And they already slowed down their download speeds, imagine what would happen if five million people tried to download TLOU2 all at once. It would be a shitstorm and a disservice to the game and everything would get spoiled because a lot of people wouldn't be able to play. Sony doesn't want to ruin their flagship game and they'll release it when thing go back to normal three or four months from now.
Grayson Lopez
>Nuke city with thousands of peoples Thats fine >Kill loli NOOOO MY FEELINGS!!! POOR GIRL!!!
Game's shit, simple as. U4 DLC was already shit, the talent is gone, it's over. And it unironically looks worse than Days Gone, an open world game
Leo Miller
Please, don't compare this piece of shit with Days Gone.
Robert Cruz
what is PS store
Connor Cox
Remember how Murika is a shithole and has an Internet speed issue so many people would take days to download a 100gb game? Member how Murika is the primary audience for this game?
