If you’re one of those lucky folks that managed to dodge all the leaked spoilers for The Last of Us Part II or were simply just wise enough to distance yourself from any potentially unpleasant Internet Professionally Angry Ruiners of Fun™ who love to dunk on other people’s enjoyment, then Naughty Dog has a small reward for your diligence. At least, that’s what I like to think this latest trailer acts as, besides the obvious advertisement for the game. Dropped last night, the story trailer for The Last of Us Part II focuses on Ellie and her quest to do…something.
I’ve managed to avoid all the spoilers, so what her exact goal eludes me but the trailer is certainly more about her journey than anything else. We get a few snippets of gameplay here and there, showing off some of the game’s brutally desperate combat systems while also being shown several clips of some of the assumedly bountiful cutscenes that will populate the game. Returning characters, new faces and some rather villainous chaps who love knives, throats and uniting their two passions. Was it just me, or were there lots of knives held against throats in this trailer?
The Last of Us Part II will be with us on June 19 and is sure to set a new standard for graphical quality on the PlayStation 4. Just look at it, guys. If you’d told me that was running on a PS5, I would have believed you without a question. Oh, but you know what you definitely shouldn’t look at? The spoiler-filled comment section of anything related to this video. Just be safe, there’s not much longer to wait now. Delayed gratification!

Hahahaha, they disabled the likes and the dislikes because people would be pissed if they couldn’t leave comments or in Sony’s mind a spoiler comment. I love how the trailer skirts the controversial parts that have been spoiled. The game looks gorgeous true enough, but so did the Titanic. Thanks but no thanks.

One key area that is highly questionable is how Sony and Naughty Dog Copyright claimed all those channels for no reason at all. I actually didn’t realise the scope of it.

I`m going to buy this game.. And when I say buy it, I mean buy it with no refund. Digital. So those picks (intentional) over at Naughty Dogs better god damn impress the shit out of me even though I know the leaks. I`m pissed, like Ryan Gosling was pumped in The Big Short at the gym. Dammit.

Yeah, But I`m giving em the benefit of the doubt. It’s the reasonable thing to do. It is Naughty Dog.

People gave Bioware the benefit of the doubt with Anthem. Whoopsie. Not saying cancel your preorder, just saying wait a day or two. Hear what people are saying before dropping a grand on it.

That’s exactly what I`m going to do. I didn’t pre-order,
