Apparently, the image here came from a dev at ND that somehow made its way onto Twitter. I have not been able to find the tweet, but this honestly makes a lot more sense than the presumed story thus far.
Lmao >i-it's fake trust me The same person who posted this will likely be sucking the game's dick nonstop once it comes out and is as the leaks described
Nathaniel Wood
>this is still Ellie's game We saw the chapters it's a 50/50 between her and Abby
Maybe so. But I honestly think this makes more sense than the shitshow assumed from the leaks. I don’t think the leaks are all there is to this game
Elijah Price
>Abby Day 2 >medicine... >amputation...
Jonathan Myers
I think it’s still possible to play as Abby while focusing on Ellie, weird as it may sound. Viewing alley through a different lens. The part I’m curious about is the transgender part. I’ve been able to find no sources other than work here on Yas Forums that Abby is trans
I have no idea if these are true lol. The game could be shit, I don’t know I just think they make more sense than what we assumed from the leaks
Aiden Lee
It's literally just a meme because she's a roided bulldyke
Gavin White
That’s what I had assumed. I guess the meme just got out of hand, and people sort of took it and ran with it
Brandon Bennett
Fuck me I hope they don't do anything with the Jak and Daxter series after this >6 ecos (4 colors plus light and dark), so 1 for each gender >Daxter has comedic quips after major fights before being threatened by Jaqueline to shut his cishetero mouth >ashelin is 6'8", ripped and covered in a burqa, still in charge of the KG >Samos is executed for being knowledgeable and male, a crime in Nu-Haven >Men scour outside the city walls unwillingly for supplies, with female squad leaders, all of whom are 80's Arnold ripped >precursors are retconned into being quadriplegic women of color with blue buzz cuts and septum piercings
>from a member of nd to a friend. it's literally a damage control 'leak'. We already saw the chapters
Aaron Lewis
it probably is only talked about here because her supposedly being a tranny has been talked about here since her first appearance in the trailer so if they aren't even aware that it's been a rumour for that long then it can't be talked about much outside of Yas Forums
Mason Long
Even with that, I think it’s possible that the leaks and this post could be true at the same time. Assuming the Reddit post is legit, it makes more sense than what we presumed, and it doesn’t invalidate the leaks either.
Carter Torres
There's no evidence ellie gets killed. Yeah they fight at the end but something else could happen at the resolution
Camden Sanchez
That makes sense. It still amazes me how many people have just taken it and ran with it, even though no one knows for sure lol. As far as I know, The voice actor and mocap actor are both cis women, and I haven’t seen any plat points in the leaks that have anything to do with the trans politics or anything
Joseph Watson
We already know she doesn't die. The epilogue is after Abby beats the crap out of Ellie and her girlfriend, and it features Ellie's girlfriend giving birth to the child of some guy who dies early in the game (I believe his name is Jesse) and Ellie resolving to take care of the child.
Jaxson Walker
Damage control by Sony viral shills IMO.
James Green
Doesnt help that Abbys model actor looks like fucking John Cena
holy fucking cope >posting a reddit link/screenshot on this site fuck you
Charles Murphy
man they have fucking roids and whey in this apocalypse? Because it's impossible to look like that as a natural woman even if you lifted hours a day and ate clean..
Jonathan Wright
>Yas Forums called the roided woman a tranny so much that a lot of people ended up beliving it and the devs had to speak out and say "no they arent trans" Kek, but to be honest you cant blame most people for thinking it was a tranny.
I'm still not buying it. What did leak sounds like absolute horse shit. I'm glad what came to light did cause I just saved $60 bucks.
Dominic Gray
She'sa roideed bulldyke, but "her" lover is the trans one, hence the confusion. this whole thing is a mess.
Liam Edwards
I understand if you don’t want to buy it. I understand people are upset about some of the directions this game takes. I just want people to know that the leaks might not be the full story. The leaks are literally a bullet point list of whatever plot points the leaker thought were important. If you tried to summarize TLOU part one and a bullet point list, it would sound boring as fuck and irritating. Plus, the leaker was allegedly a disgruntled employee. I’m not saying that they are lying, but I do think they have plenty of reason to be biased and try to make the game look bad
Blake Bennett
Fuck off damage control shills.
Jason Moore
>video game >the only thing anyone talks about is its "story" twists and turns on the level of a shitty giallo thriller It is all so tiresome
Elijah Wright
Yup, she's tranny
John Sanchez
So how much is ND paying you to do damage control, you know they don't pay their employees, right?
Joseph Carter
Lol now I’m even more confused. Who is “her” lover?
I’m not the one who made the screenshot, you’ll have to ask the damage control questions to ND. It’s perfectly possible with everything in the screenshot is bullshit. But it’s equally possible that it’s not.
John Lewis
They already tried to revive Jak a few years ago and have concept art of a more realistic looking Jak.
I don’t think this screenshot and the actual leaks are mutually exclusive. It seems to me like they could both be true.
Michael Howard
If nu-ND does anything new with Jak people will be wishing we got the weird realistic reboot from ten years ago rather than whatever the Precursor Dilation would be. Krew will be reincarnated as a brown body positive anarcha-feminist
Joel will die that is for sure. the OP post is a fsggot who tries damage control
Hunter Hill
I am OK with Joel getting killed that way so long as the story is well written enough to justify why it happens. People have been speculating that he was going to die since the first trailer. I don’t think that was ever a surprise. I definitely still don’t approve of the way Neil treats his employees though. And he can get preachy at times. I just hope that doesn’t happen in the final game
Nicholas Martinez
So she's gonna leave Joel's killer out there. Fuck ND.
Lincoln Jenkins
Although it can be argued that this could be the case... what kills this speculation for me is the fact that The debug menu clearly shows all the chapters in the game, and showcases that it is indeed you play as Abby though the rest of the game, as the ending builds up to a sequel.
Juan Hall
Real question, how much will Naughty Dog actually suffer from this train wreck?
The reddit one is my dad works at NASA tier bullshit absolutely no fucking source just text typed out. The game leaks had a source. Not the same ball game. This is some underage console kid attempting to cope.
That makes sense, but Abby‘s section of the game can still be about Ellie. The leaks say that Abby is pursuing Ellie for revenge. It could just be viewing Ellie from a different lens. It seems From the leaks like Abby is kind of angrily obsessed with Ellie
Elijah Price
It's this thing It's a really complicated lesbian melodrama where Joel gets killed. I'm not convinced none of this is real and it's not just Joel hallucinating this from when he gets bludgeoned.
Alexander Thompson
They never wanted to make Jak. Notice how none of the concept arts for Jak are cartoony like the entire series? Its because they didn’t want to make another Jak game.
Its like if a developers was asked by a publisher if they wanted to make a spyro game obv the developers don’t so they make all the concept art realistic dragons then go back to the publisher with the intention of getting rejected
Ethan Wilson
Be specific: it's an asian woman larping as a man, so technically it's two dykes vs two dykes.
Easton Cruz
Just make sure to come back here and leak the "real" ending when ND doesn't pay you.
Jacob Richardson
I think this trans kid is Ellie to Abby's Joel.
Cameron Davis
>I don’t think this screenshot and the actual leaks are mutually exclusive. They are, because everything from a prior leak was confirmed with the cutscene leaks >Real question, how much will Naughty Dog actually suffer from this train wreck? not enough
Charles Wright
>here's a bunch of evidence supporting the narrative that the plot is entirely leaked and it's absolute shit >here's a comment from some person with no evidence that totally sounds like damage control >I'll totally rule in favor of the latter
Nathaniel King
Not at all. It'll get a +93 score because it features trans lesbians fighting a patriarchal white cult. Anyone who criticizes the game will be labeled an incel.
Liam Lopez
>character chops his dick halfway through the game SO BRAVE, SO POWERFUL
Zachary Brown
If this were real this would have been the defense they rolled out on day 1
Nathan Nelson
Also why is his name "Lev"? It's not an asian name.
Joshua Evans
HOLY FUCK, A FOURCHAN POST OF AN IMGUR UPLOAD MADE FOR REDDIT THAT WAS POSTED TO TWITTER FROM THE FRIEND OF A NAUGHTY DOG EMPLOYEE WHO WORKED ON THE GAME AND KNOWS THE WHOLE PLOT? Wait until Dad from Nintendo hears about this one!
Brody Flores
Let me reiterate. What did leak sounds like absolute horse shit.
Buy a car with the wrong size engine. I understand if you don't want to buy it. I understand you might be upset when it doesn't start or the transmission goes to hell. I just want you to know that the engine isn't the full car and was put together by a disgruntled mechanic.
Go to the doctor and get the wrong blood transfusion. I understand if you're upset you're now incredibly ill. I just want you to know that the blood you got was administered by a disgruntled nurse.
Go out with your wife/husband and watch them flirt and gang bang the wait staff. I understand you're upset they just blew everyone in the kitchen. I just want you to know that you were cheated on by a disgruntled spouse.
Very extreme and not to be taken literally examples, but you sound like this. I'm not spending anything on anything I don't like/want/enjoy/etc.
Jaxon Jenkins
>Abby is not transgender Oh but she is by all accounts a male character that's some fucking reason been cast as female, that's for fucking sure. Also imagine thinking all the leaks not being from the latter part of the game matters at fucking all. It's totally beside the point considering people hate every bit of what they've already seen. You can't take back or re-contextualize that. It's over for this 'game'. Imagine being so far up your own ass that you think you can totally blindside your audience for shock value when the game cost at minimum 70 fucking australian dollars (morel ikely that the normies are paying the full 100 dollarydoo price).
