What's going on with TLOU PART II?

>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?

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

its very obviously not finished and they are using the rona as a convenient excuse to delay it

They probably can’t make it run on PS4 so they’re downgrading it

>caring about movies

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.

>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.

>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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Sony is in talk with Netflix for a simultaneos release

Programming fun out of the game has been proving more challenging than initially thought.

That was actually pretty good. Nice work user

>le movie joke repeated 100 times
get creative you faggots
the only good one is

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.

It's getting the Zelda treatment and will be a PS5 launch title as well

They probably realized the story turns out REALLY bad and spending an extended amount of time with Ellie is genuinely unbearable

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.

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.

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.

nothing is going on. it will release and become a critical and commercial success.

Lmao I know this is bullshit but it’s very believable

Yep, even SE released VII REMAKE

Something weird is going on at Naughty Dog/Sony

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.

loool what would the excuse be if corona virus didnt exist?

Rent free

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.

If only

How come RE3 wasn't pulled then? Or Alyx, which has many parts that deal with contamination and quarantine?

>"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

>Alyx
VR game had physical version?

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.

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

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.

Movie theaters are closed

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?

KEK. That’s the best one till now

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.

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

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.

Who really cares?

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.

it's gonna get banned in china because of the lesbians anyway

The lesbians didn't already get it banned?

Apparently, the PS5 has an overheating issue (similar to the xbox 360 with RRoD) and can't keep a consistent clock speed.

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.

>calls other faggots posting touhou

heh

>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?

I bet it has something to do with the CRUNCH.

>a motherfucking youtube comment

>publisher issues
>"sony doesn't want to release the game anymore he justs sits here with his arms crossed and pouts"

Druckmann is pulling a Kojima with the budget and the game is not actually done.

>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

I hope it gets cancelled

The game without a release.

Sony can't afford to do that, especially after that expensive flop known as Death Stranding.

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.

>Nuke city with thousands of peoples
Thats fine
>Kill loli
NOOOO MY FEELINGS!!! POOR GIRL!!!

My dog works for Nintendo

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

Please, don't compare this piece of shit with Days Gone.

what is PS store

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?

So is it for PSNOW

or just delaying it for ps5.
