PS4 The Last of Us Part II - PS5 Remaster coming Jan 19

[Red Black and Blue]

I see a happy ending involving a cure, probably to do with Ellie. That would turn the place around pretty quick, although the bigger monsters seem to be the humans in the game.


GOT was similar to TLOU2 and the backlash came due to the popular character not behaving the way some fans wanted. I actually liked the ending though, so maybe I just like something to finish happy(ish)/resolved rather than sad/open ended.

I just love the dark endings. Very rarely do happy endings stay with me. Always gotta be at least bitter sweet.

My favorite movies are Chinatown, The Shining, One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, In Bruges, Casablanca, Pans Labyrinth, Gladiator, Se7en.

The closest I'd come to a happy ending in my favorites would be something like Silence of the Lambs where the killer gets caught.

Surely the potential outline they have for part 3 revisits that aspect. Ellie finally (and willingly) sacrificing herself to save the world.

Would bring it back full circle, and provide at least partly a 'happy' ending while still keeping firmly in line with the world they've established.

They have established that a cure means Ellie has to die not a happy ending for me but they could turn her into a hero by doing so. Unless at this point they do find another immune person. I could be wrong but at some point I think they said Dr Anderson was the only one who could make a vaccine anyway. I suppose you could go back on this but why say it in the first place.

I agree the humans are just as bad as the infected as far as threats go. Are they too far gone? Joel probably thought so and might have been a part of his reason for saving Ellie.

I don't see the Dr Anderson thing as all that big a deal - he was the only one they knew of, communications are pretty limited, they could easily find and introduce another group with someone else capable and working on a cure.

Some good potential for storytelling around your last paragraph, Ellie weighing up if humanity is too far gone and if Joel's decision in part 1 was right after all etc.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

I actually think the happiest ending would be Ellie turning. Abby sets up a research group, they find out it wasn't her brain but something else, the presence of some other fungal infection in her gut that has waned over time. Would give meaning to everyone's choices along the way.

 

[netslave]

I'm sure they have some prequels and sequels in different time periods setup to keep the cash rolling in.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Is the infection America only or world wide. They have an option to start a new storyline different country perhaps ?

Ahhhh

Hello nostalgia my old friend

 

[Tbonefreo]

Finished and platinumed in a week?

Pitch meetings rule

 

[Tbonefreo]

Amazing game. One of the best I have ever played. Loved the little mechanic how when you off one of the groups, when they spot the body they scream their name. Really added a dramatic effect

'Last of Us' HBO Series Casts Nick Offerman as Bill - Variety

 

[vast]

Thats great casting actually.

 

[RPCB]

Kind of disappointed. Not at the casting but becuase I have been out of the loop on this for months and the last I read was it would start airing in January 2022.

 

[Spirit Level]

Is the TV show going to re-tell the stories of the games?

My hope was that it would fill in the gaps between the two

Season 1 confirmed to be pretty much the story of the first game I believe, unsure where they're going after that.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Not sure about Pedro Pascal as Joel

why couldn’t they get some one that kind looks like Joel

 

[Big Sauce 21]

The voice of Tommy in the game is in the tv series as a different character.
