And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
Nice. She's got a Savage Starlight poster in her room. Can't really make out what the other one's supposed to be.I just got back from the event. When they said they were going to show a never been before scene I thought it was going to be shown on the live stream too. I guess people already described the scene pretty well. I did manage to record part of the scene, but at the end of the scene Geoff said not to upload or record on Druckmann's request. I already deleted the file, sorry guys. I do have this though.

Pfft. We all paid $60 for this event. It was worse than the game. Remastered my ass!

Just finished watching and I gotta say: kudos to ND and Keighley for putting this together. I was apprehensive going in but it turned out to be pure class.
I understand the "arrogant" talk, but I don't agree with it. TLOU was a great achievement and they have a right to be proud of it. This event gave many involved a chance to showcase their talents in a unique way, and wherever there's talent there will be haters.
Lately we've seen a litany of TLOU-related threads, events, and features, sure... but not because ND is arrogant. For one, they won a huge number of game of the year awards and produced Sony's best selling new IP of the gen (in addition to Uncharted), so they have the acclaim to back it up. Don't confuse simple marketing for self-aggrandizing. They have a new, much requested, version of the game releasing tomorrow for Sony's flagship system. This is a novel way of promoting it by celebrating what makes the game special.

I didn't get the chance earlier to just say how incredibly talented the cast is. I came away especially impressed with Troy Baker. I know he does really great work in the VA scene, but the off camera epilogue scene had him showing off his guitar and singing chops as well. Very talented, I'm really surprised that we don't see him in more movie or TV acting roles.
You paid to attend an event for a game you did not even like? What, I don't even...

Just got done watching! That was great and just makes me appreciate everyone involved that much more!

Pretty sure it was sarcasm. Shagg played the hell out this game on ps3. I'm pretty sure he lives the game. Of course I could be missing something.

I dunno considering its sold less than UC I wouldn't say they are arrogant as UC3 was a grandiose and over the top roller coaster and TLOU is substantially more subtle and less bombastic. If anything it felt like UC3 was trying hard to capture what UC2 had and came up short across the board.
Edit: AJ and TB just work so well together. That farmhouse room scene was awesome.

I was finally able to watch this, and wow. Troy Baker is way too good to not be super famous. He can act, voice act, sing, perform live, and he's incredibly good looking to boot. Seriously.
I'm very bitter about not being able to see that epilogue though. I'm a very completionist type of person, so knowing that there is an 'extra ending' written by the Druckmann and performed by the actors... that hurts. There has to be someone out there who recorded it...

Just watched the twitch archive. This sure was something. I didn't expect anything out of this really, but it turned out to be incredible. Seeing the soundtrack performed live alone was worth it, but the actors nailed all the scenes again. This whole idea was kinda weird, but they pulled it off.

Incredible that people are calling Naughty Dog arrogant for this.
They are the only developer that could actually do this. Every other developer has the writing capablities and character progressions of a two year old.
We should be happy that people in this industry actually have the skill to do this.

Instead of being glad to have such talented people working in the industry some people are happier just shitting on everything, makes me wonder if they care about videogames at all.
It's pretty sad when you think about it and also incredibly disrespectful.

Now if you could just share with me what went down
Might be the end of Joel AND Ellie sure.
But Neil clearly says in the Grounded documentary that he says TLOU (1) as being the origin of Ellie's story and turning her into an action hero.
He fought to get her front and center on the cover and essentially eludes to moving forward with her in the future.

Man, Santaolalla is amazing, I can't even begin to imagine this game with different music, it's such an integral part of the experience and conveys the atmosphere of the game so well.
So cool of him to show up for this, incredible performance, I wish I could've been there.

I hope it doesn't. They should even move the sequel to Europe. That way they avoid trying to continue anything and live up to what the characters have become, and can essentially make a totally new game that just so happens to be in the same universe.

This thread seems to be headed down the same path as all the other TLOU threads. Pretty tiring exercise. Started as a celebration of a fantastic show, now it seems to reverting back to nitpicking the game itself like all the others.
Anyway, brilliant job by Neil Druckmann and the entire crew that took a part of this show. Was incredibly fun to watch and will sit back and watch it again asap. Troy and Ashley really do have a fantastic chemistry. Loved that they performed the alternate ending live on that stage, was hilarious and you could tell they were just having fun with it.
Good stuff.
Sucks they didn't film the epilogue ... yet, but something tells me we will see it eventually in some form.

Clicked on the youtube link in a state of mind somewhere between apprehension and curiosity, and left resolutely impressed. Troy Baker and Annie Wersching were phenomenal (No disrespect to the other talented actors). Gustavo Santaolalla is a hero of mine, so his presence alone was worth the price of admission.
Kudos to ND for creating a unique experience that deserves the accolades and much more. This is the game I will be mentioning whenever a conversation surrounding the past consoles generation pops up!

Yeah this was always the most notable thing to come out of the Grounded doc, that they essentially hinted to TLOU2 with an older Ellie. Her character has so much potential, it'd be a shame to stop here. TLOU may be the end of 'Joel & Ellie', but it's not the end of Ellie.

Good choice, imo. They've created a game world that would be rich with stories from other survivors too, it would be a waste to only focus on Joel and Ellie, as much as we love them.
Yea... that scene with Ellie and Nolan was pretty creepy. Different sound and tone to what Nolan usually does as well. Too bad he is not around for this.

Thought this was pretty damn awesome. Cool that they streamed it out as well.
I didn't know it was him until I watched the credits. Guy has range.
Too many devs just ask for his 'Drake' voice now.

Maybe the should make movies instead of games.
Same here. I didn't know until i saw the dev documentary, and he talks about him being casted and him wanting to do something different. I thought that was awesome.

Terrible post. And they are making a movie. They can do everything.

Good on you for actually respecting their wishes.
God that was amazing.
Watching now. This is really amazing
One thing this makes you realize, is that TLoU is truly special because I can't think of many/any other games that you could do this with... but boy, would I LOVE to see more. Perhaps without the commentary between each scene. I'd be happy with a black out and transition between each scene, separated perhaps by a short musical piece.

Wow you're so clever!
... You should be happy then, because they are doing both.

You know, I didn't realize until Gustavo played "The Path" at the end of the live show, that TLoU was the best Silent Hill game since SH2. That song channeled Yamaoka a lot, and just tonally, etc... TLoU just hit the same chords i'd want a great Silent Hill to hit again.
