I hope it's not really named The Last of Us 2 (two) Sounds so stupid....
Maybe use The Last of Us Hunters or something.
Anyway what I want from the sequel:
Maybe use The Last of Us Hunters or something.
Anyway what I want from the sequel:
What I want:
- new main characters
- don't include Joel or Ellie as their story is done
- but they can/should use Bill
- new locations maybe set outside of US
- infected animals
- some flashbacks set in a time when outbreak began
- more interactive story where we make some decisions
- co-op/horde mode in MP
And a ZOO as one of the places we visit so we can see, well run from this:
True from a gameplay perspective, but it's the character moments that the majority of people love The Last of Us for. Story wise it wouldn't be even nearly the same experience without both Joel & Ellie. Breaking of immersion might be a necessary evil for TLOU. I think there's a perfect mix. Also I feel that those moments you listed worked so well because you just wanted the safety of getting back to the norm ie. 2 characters, exploring in the daytime with no enemies. Thinking on it the pacing in the Last of Us is pretty pitch perfect.

My guess is that it will be called The Last of Us: Subtitle.
I think the subtitle will be fairly substantial and it will be what they want the game to be known as in general.

"Listening to Ellie and Joel banter while exploring" is one of the core pillars of The Last of Us. It's what allowed people to grow close to the characters and the scavenging / exploring would be quite dull without it.

ok, so they are "pissed off". How on Earth are they going to find Joel? Joel literally killed the only person who knew him, Ellie and his brother.
We know what the Fireflies are. They are survivors who are pretty much just as ruthless as raiders, but they just hide that by their justification of it being for a "greater good". We saw what they do, they go around destabilizing the last bastions of humanity in the QZ zones for their own good and goal of restoring the old US government and democracy.
They are a joke, their whole ideal system is a decade out of date and the people grasping at those dreams are only grasping at those goals because it's their way to justify all they've done in the world they are in.
I really hope TLOU2 happens, but I do not want to see the same characters and nor the same situations. Hell, I want to see emotional and believable characters, even if they are in space, but I do not want to to feel like the story in TLOU is continued or paralel or similar.
Well, whatever ND throws at me I will chew it like a good boy

I think we'll see Ellie but no Joel.
I completely disagree. There's way more to tell.
No Joel and Ellie? No interest from me.
My interest in TLOU stems from Joel and Ellie, and I think many others will say the same.

Henry and Sam playable characters please.
Ok, so 13 year old girl who had 1 year of intense training in incredibly dangerous post-apocalyptic world had only 1 adventure during her ENTIRE LIFE? Even though she possibly has cure for entire mankind and one big faction knows that.
I really don't believe that her story is done. I look at TLOU same as on Road Warrior. Road Warrior was truly truly awesome, but it got great continuation in Mad Max, and next year we will get another movie from original creator that has incredible potential.
Tommy was ex-Firefly. They will focus on finding him, or someone who knows where he possibly is.
I agree.
Just not a story with Joel and Ellie. There's nothing more to tell. Their story ended perfectly. It's left open to interpertation though.
But it's kind of obvious that Ellie doesn't believe Joel. You can see it in her eyes. She isn't stupid, she knows when people bullshit her. And she isn't going to just accept that lie either.
See that's the Alien 3 route. And probably the greatest indication that a sequel isn't necessary; when that seems to be one of the only ways that they can continue with these characters (by killing one instantly).
Don't get me wrong, I'll buy it day one whatever it is.
There's certainly more to tell, but I'm not sure they need to tell it. But you're right, more Last of Us basically means wanting more Joel & Ellie. I guess I'm in that camp. I'm not sure what they can do with Joel though.
Anyway, I think there's no chance of there being a Last of Us 2 without Ellie.

Last of Us sequel. Almost as preposterous sounding as the Final Fantasy sequels.

Are you trying to write the most cliche thing ever?

And then it zooms out and it WAS EARTH ALL ALONG AND ALSO A DREAM.
I don't think we'll see either of them. Didn't Neil say Joel & Ellie are done at the stage show?

Just the Two of Us.
Then the special edition can be called the 'We Can Make It If We Try Edition'.

Neil should let GAF write the game, we can make it a community ad-lib thread.

It was confirmed the minute Last of Us released.
actually if we get to personally kill Joel at the beginning of the game, it would be something...
If executed well..A really shocking moment.

One of the most critically praised games of the generation which has sold 8 million + and has a dedicated multiplayer community...there's like 0 reasons why a sequel should not have been green lit.
I would love for a sequel.
