The Last Of Us 2: Ellie-lectric Boogaloo would have sold money.

It's weird, before this was announced I was 100% certain that the sequel shouldn't be about Joel and Ellie, that there were so many other stories in that world that needed to be told.... but in one trailer, my entire opinion has changed and now I need to know more.

Yeah, I asked if it spoiled anything since I haven't played the first game and someone replied saying yes. I think I'll be staying out of these threads until I'm able to play the first so nothing else gets ruined.

The only spoiler really is that certain characters from the first game are in the sequel.
My theory, some TLOU spoils:
Looking back at the trailer, that scenery looks a lot like the places around Tommy's dam.
At the end of the first game they end up back at Tommy's dam. Between part I and part II they build relationships with the people there and at the beginning of part II Tommy's dam gets wrecked by marauders and people they care about get killed. Ellie decides to kill everybody.

I was playing it again recently and even said to my GF "I'd love a sequel with different characters" but after the trailer I think I'm ok with Joel and Ellie again.

If there's two people that I would think don't deserve more hardship it's these two. 
Other than the obvious (cast)... nah.

And yet it still handles narrative better than TLOU, because the characters actually face some consequences for one. This is part of the reason why TW3's story is so lauded, because of how many consequences the cast faces for what happens. So like even if there's a happy ending, that at least the characters went through some shit. Like, there's not a single moment in TLOU that's as compelling to watch as the simple shootout scene in Breaking Bad.
Yes they do, all the time.
Maybe don't have characters constantly warning the MC that his actions will come back to bite him at some point while he says "nah" and then the MC ends up right despite being so reckless and stupid in his decision making.

Sony dropping bombs like it's WWIII!
Yes... sort of... yes.
Naaaa Nate was in his 40s in 4
Having Ellie put down an infected Joel would be heartbreaking, they could go the MGS3 route and make the player pull the trigger and everything.

Ellie was 14 and Joel was 48 in The Last of Us. Ellie looks maybe late teens (18-19) or early 20's. Joel would be 52-55ish.
At 48 he looked like this:
So if she's say 19, we're talking 5 years.

Excited but disappointed.
I wanted a new cast, a new perspective of the Apocalypse.
Oh well. I will have at least 2 years to cope before its released anyway

While Uncharted is expertly tuned in many ways it is TLOU that stands out with a proper & rich gameplay loop that I enjoy on the same level as say RE4.

I can't imagine what the gameplay is going to look like, especially after U4.
I wouldn't.
I want TLOU P2 and I want it now! A shame we're still aways from it

Not quite.
Not in the epilogue. He would be around 50. He was in his mid-late 30's in 4 and then his daughter was was 16.

I hope they dont do a MGS4 Old Joel

The jacket or whatever it is called that Ellie wears reminds me of Samuel.
My thoughts too.

The wounds are fresh and in the trailer there was a bleeding and sweat on Ellie's forehead. So, Joel couldn't be there long after the fight, because the wounds wouldn't be fresh and there wouldn't be bleeding and sweat. However, if he was there, why didn't he help? I'm going to assume Joel's a hallunication, like someone else said.

Nah thanks. The first game doesn't need a sequel. More Uncharted though...

What kind of question is this? LOL
They did a fantastic job with the trailer. That trailer somehow managed to make people reinvested in the story of two characters that most were thoroughly satisfied with and had consequently, put to rest.

Why not both?
Definitely. You can hear the emotion dripping from their voices. I like their bond
Maybe he just arrived late.

This and Chloe in the same conference. I can't.
Didn't know how much I wanted adult Ellie until now.
Hoping Joel is a side character/hallucination and we get Ellie as the protagonist with new characters. Also, really didn't sound like Troy Baker to me.
