The Last of Us Franchise - Because it's apparently a franchise now. This thread has been double-DMCA’d by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

I've heard the game is cringe as fuck but if she was only there for a bit... What I don't get is if she got blacklisted hard or what the hell happened, she was a known renowned writer in the sector yet she hasn't done anything for like 9 years since Last of Us?

She quit after Christopher Balestra left Naughty Dog (and the industry), around the time Druckmann started to get some clout. After that, she got hired by EA to work on a Star Wars game that never got made, then Square and now Skydance.
Forspoken will probably be woke and cringe, since Gary Whitta was the main writer.

And what even is Skydance doing right now?

Skydance is getting big in the animation sector, thanks to John Lasseter (fired/metoo by Disney). The vidya division was created recently.

Not the biggest fan of Elder Ring but it deserves them far more than The Last of Us Part 2

Cry some more, Cuckmann

All I know is that it's hit. I wouldn't know if it's pozzed at all, but I sure know TLOU2 is and seeing it knocked down a peg is good.

All it's awards were politically motivated anyway, obviously.

So uhh how is this show going to go if it's apparently a faithful adaption of the first two games?

The main draw for this show is Pedro Pascal as Joel, he's an almost universally well liked actor and he's by far the biggest name attached to this show.

And he's going to be brutally murdered with a golf club after season one.

Druckman will make Joel despicable and tank Pedro's reputation to get that Joel in One.

More like he will try but fail. As long as the prologue is left intact with her sheebon daighter, he gets a few good moments with goblina Ellie and the ability to create a cure isn't presented as a 100% homefucking run that it will work, they will fail at the character assasination.

Hell, the easiest was making him be racist towards the moon crickets he meets up with, but now that his daughter is black, it would seem convoluted. It's not the first time current year creatives fuck up making somebpdy bad because of how alien their own values are.

it's not getting beyond season 1

 

[Adamska]

I expect at least two, since entertainment companies are dead set on refusing to acknowledge a show failed nowadays by only being a one season wonder. Also Cuckman wants to force his vision, and damn the company he allegedly runs and the finances from other companies he works with on anything.

 

[huecoffs02]

This is my prediction. S1 covers the first game, S2 starts with Cuckmann's head canon and shows Joel being a douchebag and homophobic after saving Ellie because "he is too protective" and that's how they will murder the character so everyone can applaud when Transby kills him.

They could also limit Joel's screentime in favor of the more diverse characters like the fags and the obese native woman.

Yep; classic bait and switch that these incompetent assholes love to to. I wouldn't be shocked if they put him in the background to trick people about that.

Heck, I can see Drunkmann making both the Joel-In-One, and Abby gets ass rammed scenes, even longer and more into detail, to show that he was "held back" with his vision of those scenes.

I can't really call TLOU2 woke, it mostly just comes off as weird story turns rather than actual propaganda or something with a message.

The real issue I had with it was that the game had very small levels still. Naughty Dog needs to break away from having these small in scope games and expand outwards. Other Sony studios have made massive strides in these areas with fixing or improving what their past games were unable to do. But the enemy AI was not improved by much and many things just boiled down to not being impressive enough or a significant enough change from the first game. Especially given the large amount of development time and you're having other first party IPs now make larger progress in a shorter amount of time in terms of breaking through the mainstream.

Even studios like Team Asobi have been hiring more manpower for multiple projects and Naughty Dog is now handing off work to other studios for an Uncharted Reboot and all they themselves have is the multiplayer shooter and just an announcement that TLOU3 is happening sometime this decade. We have more footage from Insomniacs two projects of Spiderman 2 and Wolverine than we have of the TLOU shooter and TLOU3.

>I can't really call TLOU2 woke
I have seen neutron stars less dense than that take

Diversity has long been used in pretty much everything that I don't really consider it part of that. Animorphs was very diverse for example, it's whole entire cast of main characters is from diverse backgrounds and that is a decades old YA series.

All that trans characters are is just that, but brought up to modern trends. At this point sexuality/gender is heavily commercialized and they seem almost inseparable from specialized products from a marketing standpoint, that it makes perfect sense on why these characters would appear.

>Saying Animorphs is anywhere like Cuckmann vision for TLOU
...Wow so you aren't pretending to be retarded, excuse me one moment

Hey now, let’s not go crazy here…

 

[Zaryiu2]

When "journos", spineless, single-celled organisms that they are, call out your bullshit because it's just that much apparent you're sustaining yourself exclusively by huffing your own farts, it's time to an hero.

Someone drive Druckman to Canada, he needs urgent medical help.

Fuck no, we already have enough people like him

Hey now, let’s not go crazy here…

Is it that crazy? Indigo Prophecy despite going off the rails was entertaining, Heavy Rain had choices relatively mattering and some entertaining moments and Detroit Become Human allowed you to not be the good guy and fuck me but even the Ellen Page as main character game had ideas that might be interesting in a better game

Cuckmann is worse than David Cage

Cage’s stuff only improved because they kept getting more people to hold him back. Plus there was the whole thing with him running out of court crying claiming he was being bullied.

Not that I think Cuckman is batter, mind you. They both suck.

I meant in term of making games, David Gage's games in comparison to TLOU2 and the Cuckmann version of TLOU1, not Cage himsel

Cage's games usually lack any type of Combat system where as TLOU at least has one in place. The combat sections for TLOU 2 are no worse or better than the first one. Cage's games boil down to being very elaborate point and clicks while Naughty Dog's don't.

Neither games really allow you to go off the path and do what you want, they're too focused on things like pushing the story's narrative. Which is detrimental to giving the player freedom to explore and actually do game things. Shenmue 1 and 2 even gave the player more choice and stuff to explore and those games are from the early 2000's. Even looking at the recent God of War Ragnarok you have shitloads of side content to do that are not main quest missions and you can go back and forth between areas as you wish. Which shows that other studios have realized that tying a game around a story as the main point of playing, doesn't really work because of how much it limits the player. You can't have a tight director driven narrative and a game that gives you freedom and choice, because unlike a movie a game is always going to have input form someone else of where to go, which is the player.

Unlike books and movies the audience for a game cannot be a passive bystander, this alone breaks many rules of story telling in general. For example you have an scenario where the world is ending and there's imminent danger, the player can decide to pause that and go off and finish whatever side quests they want before the point of no return. Narratively this is a death sentence for every other form of media and kills the suspension of disbelief.

Cage's games at least let you make decisions that alter the story, something cuckmann is desperately afraid to do because people might make a choice he doesnt agree with.
Which is why he's such a faggot failure as a game developer, even moreso than Cage, he doesnt want interactive storytelling, he wants to preach and make you listen. he wants to be a hollywood film director that gets to fuck kids, he doesnt know shit about making videogames, stories or videogame stories. There are Visual novels with a budget of a few thousand dollars that make better use of the medium of videogames than cuckmann
