2 L O U - F A C T I O N S  -- 12.14.2023 The game colloquially known as Factions II has been cancelled. It's been a fun ride, ya'll. Keep the dream alive.  https://www.naughtydog.com/blog/an_update_on_the_last_of_us_online -- Welcome to the TLOU pt 1, 2LOU pt 2, & TLOU FACTIONS thread. Talk about the series here. The HBO original show debuted on Jan 15th, 2023 and concluded on Mar 12th. Info on Naughty Dog's TLOU-themed standalone multiplayer title (colloquially known as Factions II) is anticipated sometime during the year as well (edit; DELAYED! ; edit 2 CANCELLED!), perhaps near June 2023 (edit; DEVELOPMENT HELL!)...which would be the 10th anniversary of the celebrated original multiplayer mode. At the moment it's mostly been radio silence on the development side in the studio, ND has only really been talking about the PS5 remake of the first game otherwise known as "TLOU pt I" (also for PC March 28, 2023) and the upcoming 2LOU: Remastered for PS5. This thread is a carry-over from the launch of 2LOU in 2020 and will host Factions II discussion as well as full game series and television chat. Stay tuned for new updates. -- N E W S  The Last of Us pt II: Remastered announced! , releases Jan 19, 2024 with a host of upgrades including a roguelike survival mode! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye3st9z6jQY https://www.naughtydog.com/blog/the_last_of_us_part_ii_remastered_announcement?sf183942367=1 https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/1725643846401560576?t=CyTizqt0GX5cmE8wT8WO6A&s=19 The Last of Us pt I remake releases Sept 2, 2022 / PC release Mar 28, 2023 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2Ebc_OFeug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRKIWQUucj0 -- if you haven't watched James Howell's youtube series exploring the design of the first game here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNoslgGRRhA -- Endure + Survive    -- "What is Factions?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZAwLSgPNug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TN9YL_VgEc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgZk7Ir4zSw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5WivVNlRNM --      - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -     BeanpolePeckerwood fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Dec 15, 2023 |

Here to support this great thread. I cannot want to play The Last of Us, Too on my PS4. The bigoted chuds over on r/TheLastOfUs2 having a total meltdown because the game is getting really great reviews gives me the strength I need to post in this thread.

Also I did read one review that was spoiler free and I hate to break it to everyone, but they got rid of the pallet floating sections. I know this is devastating news.

I heard in this one you tie dead dogs into a raft and float it by their weeping owners to earn style points.

hope i can finish the first game once again before the 2nd drops through my letterbox. gonna be tough cos i got online classwork to get done before thursday or im outta the class and im trying to balance everything like a uni student who doesnt need sleep.  im up to the hunter stuff after the bill section and i had to drop from grounded to survivor because i forgot you have health bars and how to basically play the game. also forgot about the loving bloater and thought i was doing well up to that point, i only had 1 death til then and now i have 50.

the revelation that the reason Ellie is immune to the fungus is that she’s actually a pre-apocalypse experimental robot called LE-9 was a bit much, but I enjoyed the brutal battle royale against the eight prototype LE units

Thanks for the OP, it was informative and a pleasure to read. Can't wait for my physical edition to arrive on Friday. That said, my disc of TLoU Remastered arrived yesterday so I'm actually going to replay the first game this weekend because I've only played it way back when I didn't even have a job not to mention a console, and played it on my brother's PS3 and never played the DLC either.

Just beat the first game and its DLC. I was able to do so only killing a few dogs. Does a more detailed list of the graphic and intense story/cutscene content exist anywhere that can be used to mentally prepare? Not full-on spoilers, mind you, just generic "a man does [hosed up thing] to another man"-type of thing. univbee fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Jun 13, 2020 |

I imagine that some goons will be giving loose heads-up type warnings in here as they progress through the game's scenarios, which is fine as long as they spoiler that poo poo. WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

I have watched everything that ND has officially released and have seen absolutely nothing that isn't totally in line with the first game. Maybe it hits home harder because the graphics are so much better now, but I am completely confused by the "gone too far" people.

It's not the type of thing I'd want in a cutscene just before going to bed, or at least have a better indication in advance that it's going to happen. If things are otherwise in-line with the first game then I don't have any real worry (I don't personally have an issue with the dog stuff, but I know my brother will likely never get to play this game because his girlfriend is the most animal-sensitive person I've ever met).

This is probably gonna be good enough, but what I am really waiting for is the even grittier reboot to the series in 15 years or so.
