What other game besides a port could you release same day like this? The hype was built up for years.

I think you're still missing my point.

 

[pelican]

LOL GAME Fail

 

[mrklaw]

It's either true, and GAME messed up, or it's incorrect and the various GAME branches are going off the earlier info from back in May, which may be out of date but they haven't changed it.

 

[Gildarts]

There's plenty of gore.

Such gore was never in the final game. At least not in mine as far as I can remember

 

[RedStep]

Oh dear, this post ought to go over well.

Wow

Really? Did I miss a racial slur that was edited out... or are you treating somebody not thinking the game was the best of all time like a hate crime? Drive-by trolling is bullshit, but if somebody takes the time to post their specific criticisms in a reasonable manner (in response to two questions), at least respond in kind. Not everybody has to drink the kool-aid to participate in the conversation.

It isnt. That room is in the bus station before

[icespide]

I suppose so.

Basically I'm worried that the last half of this year is gonna be dry for PS4. I feel like this because of the lackluster response to Judge's Week, combined with the fact that they're treating TLoU Remastered like it's a huge huge deal. It's a port. Of a really really good game, but not what I want for my new PS4.

I guess what I'm saying is that a surprise early TLoU release doesn't speak to the rest of Sony's 2014 lineup. If they had 100 games or 2 games this TLoU release would happen no matter what

 

[eso76]

We've seen nothing about the game. Last I heard devs were 'targeting' 60fps and cutscenes models in game, but it sounded like they still had work to do.

Would be great to see Sony close their pre E3 conference with a "you can log on to your psn account and download the game right now, it just went up while you were busy watching the show lol" but I think that's highly unlikely.
Would love that though

Oh sorry I wasn't quoting you specifically

Fair point. Actually a surprise E3 release for TLoU would help ease my mind on this. If the game slips into August/September, then I'll get worried.

 

[Aticos]

Please be true.

 

[The Rain King]

Pack it up guys. Nothing to see here.

Ha.

I'm gonna put some money aside, just in case.

I blew holes in people with the shotgun a few times.

Edit: Soz for double post.

In some regions there is no gore apparently no?

 

[Sn4ke_911]

 

[Moofers]

And then doesn't post it. What a tease.

 

[lumi7890]

Uh guys I don't know if the date is true but given this I think might it be pointing in that direction.

edit - beaten

 

[x-Lundz-x]

OMG just give me the DATE!

 

[kevin1025]

That's not nice

 

[Bunta]

What is it!?

 

[akidnamededdy]

That's not a date, Bruce, that's a picture you fucking noob. #lrn2twitter

 

[Moofers]

I chuckled.

 

[bombshell]

Gore is only censored in MP, not SP (EU version)

 

[xAniki88]

ooooh come on bruce, spill the fuckin beans!

 

[dc89]

It's happening.

 

[BloodMoney]

I bet it is soon.

 

[Ricky_R]

Come on, guys... It's obvious.

 

[Wishmaster92]

druck roll please....

 

[Hypemaster]

Yay. I believe it is indeed happening.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

For the love of Naughty Gods please just give it to me next week!

Aggghhhhhh

 

[Horse]

I'm getting agitated.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Come on, guys... It's obvious.

oh snap! Joel =1 Ellie=1
1+1=11
11 more days
I win!

Spoiler

That's like some hl3 detective type of shit right there.

 

[Condemned]

Bruce is watching =)

 

[geetec]

Ahh maynneee, looks like I'm not going to be able to prolong buying a PS4 any longer. I missed it on the PS3 and I'm still dying to play this game.

 

[Vire]

What the fuck Bruce... not cool. :/

 

[ultratruman]

Day after E3.

Unlucky for some...

 

[boeso]

Oh come ON

 

[Bunta]

Oh come ON

 

[RoboPlato]

Such gore was never in the final game. At least not in mine as far as I can remember

Yes there was.

 

[BronsonLee]

Hahahhaa Bruce stoking the fire I see

 

[GribbleGrunger]

I can't believe some of you guys are using 'gore' as a selling point for this game.

Sorry, Bruce ...

 

[Raist]

Come on, guys... It's obvious.

January 1st, 2015.

 

[Joeki11a]

This will be released like Infamous 2 right after E3

 

[Raptor]

Gore is only censored in MP, not SP (EU version)

Oh, ok cool, thanks I was getting worried up here.

 

[Dombrowski]

Was this posted? http://www.gamespot.com/articles/so...te-rumor-after-retailer-blunder/1100-6420069/

"The release date is not June 13," said a Sony representative to GameSpot.

"As we’ve announced, The Last of Us Remastered for PS4 will release this summer," adds Sony. "We will keep you posted on an official release date."

 

[Raptor]

Sorry, Bruce ...

Only me I think

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Only me I think

So you're the one!

Just play it, sit back and experience it, because it's the best game ever made IMO.

 

[BloodMoney]

I can't believe some of you guys are using 'gore' as a selling point for this game.

It certainly is a selling point considering it's an integral part of the atmosphere and tension. The player controlled violence is one part of the equation. The other is seeing similar gore played out upon yourself via the short, yet brutal, death animations when Joel dies. Add to that the juxtaposition of beautiful environments and serine non-violent sequences... the game does an excellent job of portraying both war and peace. Life and death.

Selling a game on gore and explaining why it's necessary are two entirely different things.

Hey, go buy my game, The First of Us. The enemies are super violent zombies that blow bubbles and attack you with bouquets of flowers. When your character dies he turns into a thousand beautiful Monarch butterflies that migrate to South America in the cool evening breeze. It is such an epic & intense experience. You will have trouble sleeping.

Did I sell it?
