The Last of Us: Part 2 Director Addresses Sequel Worries, Says "Trust Us"
Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann has asked fans to put their faith in the studio as it returns to the story of Joel and Ellie for The Last of Us: Part 2.
Speaking during a panel held at PlayStation Experience, Druckmann started by confirming that the sequel takes place a few years after the events of the first game, when Ellie is aged 19. He went on to acknowledge worries among fans that creating a sequel diminishes the poignancy of the first game's ending and the journey its main characters went through.
"So much thought went into this and I know there's a lot of people that feel this trepidation about coming back to these characters and revisiting what that ending means and worrying whether that's going to spoil the first game," he said.
"You have to understand we feel all those things as well. No one loves these characters more than we do and we would not do this if we didn't feel like we had the right idea. The 'Part II' is really doubling down on that to say we believe in this so much. We're not trying to avoid it."
According to Druckmann, Naughty Dog is treading the two games as companions that, together, depict an overarching narrative.
"I played with so many ideas that had different characters and it never felt right," he explained. "The Last of Us is about these two characters specifically. So yes, the Part II is saying this is a complementary story to the first game, but the two together are going to tell this larger tale.
"All I ask is that fans of the first one put faith in us and trust us. We're going to do right by you."
Earlier in the panel, Druckmann also revealed that players will primarily control Ellie in The Last of Us: Part 2. In the first game Joel was the main playable character, and this reversal extends into the underpinning theme of hate, as Ellie can be seen in the debut trailer threatening to kill a group of as of yet unknown characters.

This thread is like a early Christmas present. Damn
I don't know why people were hype at the press conference...it's not like they showed any gameplay.
If that 's the real game Uncharted looks amazing.RE7 is looking really scary for once.
A little too scary man. I'll admit I sound like a fucking pussy, but goddamn does that shit look creepy. If I get it, I'm grabbing it for ps4 and doing it in VR. First I have to get a ps4. There exclusives are insane; Last Guardian, Days Gone, Last of Us, Horizon Zero Dawn...
I bet none of whats seen in these trailers will be in the final game
Since you can customize not only your player character but also the other Ryder family members,who going to make their character a brotha(or sista) who adopted by a White family
EA/DICE going to be milking the shit out of this now theyre giving the Battlefield franchise a rest"for a few years"..
the best thing about the new mvc4 is going back to 2vs2. that made me fire up the old vs games last night.
that nigga @shaddyvillethug about to get his ass beat again. i use to get perfects off that nigga for laughs. couldn't do nothing but sit there and take the beatdowns.
who was your favorite team?
Nice
Man I'm sorry.. I've got both systems and I'm highly disappointed in the PS4. Right now my PS4 just sits there. Don't get me wrong it's got nice features and PlayStation plus is still the best value, but I'm not going to throw blind hype into a system that has been inconsistent in this life cycle.
It drops all these trailers, yet it didn't really drop any new shit all year. Street fighter, the game I got the system for, was a bust... the lack of external hard drive support is insane, the interface is cumbersome, and next year.... Xbox is dropping a beast of a system. Which means all the idiots buying the new 4K PlayStation will be buying ps5 in 2018.
But I'll concede and say that graphically.... Xbox one can't hold a candle to the PS4, but I need more then great graphics...
Right now I'm looking at these trailers like.... meh...
I'm going to need some release dates before I'll show emotion.

xbox one can do the graphics ps4 is doing. the problem is no developer is really trying to make games look like that just for microsoft. and that is the reason people will always feel ps4 does it better (technically ps4 has the stronger specs). if xbox fought for better exclusives they'd easily win this gen. sony's biggest problem is showing games that got at least 2 years before release to show gamers whats worth having the system for. if microsoft could stop focusing too much on shooters and push for innovation on their system things could be very different for them. with all this being said i cant see myself only having 1 system each gen. the competition will always have that 1 game thats not coming to the other system and i cant deny myself the pleasure of playing it.
same!
what fucked MS up is finally giving us the shit ppl wanted well after the system dropped...the XB1 as it is now? S-I-C-K ...shit just imagine if they jumped out the gate w/ backwards compatibility
the greatest thing tho is the interface esp. w/ the activity feed...the PS4 has a section where you can view your friends' game clips but the shit looks clumsy...XB1's activity feed is conducive toward creating an online gaming community...it's almost like a mini-version of twitch...I have bought so much games on the strength of ppl posting clips of games they've played

This right here is the exact issue... look at how Xbox has been beating PlayStation in sales the last few months. It is now the version of the system that I always wanted. The only thing that I really need is for them to bring back Summer of Arcade and go back to having Demos on the indie games.
See this is where I think PlayStation might have made another huge error. They dropped the new 4K system to soon and aren't dropping anything next year. There is no way that Microsoft is going to make the same mistakes with this new system.
I still wouldn't be surprised to see them drop a new halo and battletoads game next year. There has just been to much talk for there not to be a new battletoads game coming.
And I completely agree with you on the clips and the activity feed. But the biggest thing for me is the ability to multitask seamlessly between games and applications and the snap function.
Also the new background music function took it over the top for me...
