honestly curious to see if theyāll take the scenes/setpieces/cut scene blocking the game lifted from film/television āinspirationsā and recreate them once again in their original medium this time on HBO?
copies of copies for your 21st Century Cross-Media Franchise Experience

anecdotally this seems to be more of a bond or F&F delay than a finishing-the-game delay

That could be possible but Sonyās also delaying Iron Man VR. Unless that was supposed to be an equally big release since itās a Marvel property?
Considering the amount of ire thatās apparently being directed at FF7 Remake, whose release schedule has gotten very fluid, there might be benefit in delaying it to get a cleaner release, even outside the profit potential. Probably lots of other less discussed issues as well, like business relationships and what have you.

Hyper spoilers are out, so be careful! I watched some of the leaked footage and yeah I donāt think Iāll play this game? I thought TLOU1 was quite beautiful and chill in the way you grew to know these characters, in spite of the setting (kinda like SOMA). It was like a road movie! The violence was like YA novel at best, but the violence against some of the characters Iāve seen in these clips is just so gross that it seems almost exploitative.
itā¦ sounds like they ripped off nier automata almost verbatim which is pretty wild
Even watching the first E3 trailer it was clear TLoU2 turned into brutality porn. Iām not interested in the sequel at all.

Iām not interested in the game, but this after an indefinite delay is just brutal for the team. Give it that last, hardest push, for what, now?

Whatās kind of fucked up is that there are going to be people who proclaim that the video game industry needs a game containing a downright sickening scene in which a pregnant woman has her head repeatedly smashed against the floor until rendered unconscious in order to move the medium forward. Like, give me a break.

based on TLOU2 leaks: honestly, I think thereās something quite poetic about following up the most iconic murder dad game by having you murder that dad because he murdered your dad

Honestly baffled that people are mad that you get to play as a tall buff woman.

i get how this must feel,
but am i supposed to be convinced that scenes of creepily voyeuristic shock value murderporn would have been elevated to impeccable artistic virtue if only people had the Full Immersive Experience
itās not as if i saw anyone complaining about graphical quality

Whenever someone spoils my painting by leaking a low quality photo of it, I get very frustrated because the true value of a painting is the initial surprise and it is now impossible for people to appreciate my painting in real life

Nevermind, Iāve seen the transphobic memes.
I mean considering the money, time, labour etc that seem to have gone into this thing I canāt help but feel like a better analogy than that tweet would be āimagine you and three hundred other guys were working on a painting the size of a regional airport, for six years, and then someone took a blurry picture of it from their car.ā Like, at that point is it still the guy in the car whoās the asshole? Is it weird to take up that much space and still ask for privacy?
I dunno! I havenāt played any Naughty Dog games since crash bandicoot, the original naughty dog. I have a friend who likes them. But thereās something kind of horrible to me about the insistence that this kind of mega-art - art consciously constructed to act as a kind of apex predator for whatever medium itās working in, a huge and hugely resource-consuming entity that gets to stomp around in the bland certainty of registering as a presence to anything else in a five mile radius - is also entitled to all the minor benefits that come from being unexpected. To simultaneously dominate every conversation while also asking to remain āunspoiledā. And using the rhetoric of suffering artiste to justify! uwu iām just a poor widdle spectacle trying to get by :(( PWEASE be nice to me.
I think Iād find these things a lot more tolerable if anything over a certain level of budget was just treated like it was some kind of minor civic works project, that had to file extremely boring public reports of minutes and committee meetings and put them all on a website in case thereās anyone perverse enough to read, and then when itās all done the mayor comes by and gives a little speech. Just accept that at this point itās like a new public sewer or something rather than anything it makes sense to cover in ~mystique~.
