State of Play: The Last of Us Part II on Wednesday

[Xevross]

So who volunteers to watch this thing to see if that's the case?  

This close to launch I guess that's possible. The full game is finished so it wouldn't take as much time to change what is shown.

I'm watching.

I'm watching.

Cool.  

Not into media blackouts on games you're already sold on?

[Dr. Pezus]

Countdown?

Nah, watching events like this and feeling the hype is a big part of game releases for me. A lot of my enjoyment from a big new highly anticipated AAA game comes from the build up to it and seeing other people get super excited as well. Like God Of War is one of my favourite games ever, and I think the preview and review threads here and on Era are possibly the most fun things that happened around that game and elevated it in my mind.

Anything I'm super into I'll rewatch trailers and stuff over and over, get myself into the hype zone. If it ends up delivering it just makes it all so much more worth it. Sometimes it backfires, like with Game of Thrones, but normally I'm fairly easy to please.

I've watched a cut of this and it is ???????? It's a deep dive with Neil into the gameplay, but still just a small slice of the game... Unless you're in hyper media blackout mode, I'd tune in, you can watch it and still go into the game super fresh ?? 1pm PST LET'S GO ???????? https://t.co/tmJYeXTlNJ

What did they show?

Enemy was playing on a vita with earphones in and Ellie snuck up behind.

Game looks fantastic but so dang brutal.

Hotline Miami at that

Kind of spoilery at the end

[the-pi-guy]

At the very least it should be at a different time. A historic rocket launch is literally set to happen during the same hour and that has been scheduled for months. If the launch happens today, there is no way that TLOU2 will be the top news story on the internet.

Nice of them to delay the rocket launch for TLoU.

No story spoiler, just the image from the part Xev was talking about.
