    Announcement regarding the delay, the screenshots, and the pandemic.

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 08:27 PM PDT

    Hey, everyone. Busy day huh? If you haven't heard, check out the other pinned post: TLoU has been delayed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are all upset about the delay and we understand your frustration, but please be respectful of the developers at Naughty Dog and the executives at Sony. It's very likely that the devs are just as eager to release the game as we are to play it, so this couldn't have been an easy decision on anyone's behalf.

    The delay

    We feel it's important to stress that no one is to blame for this delay. Not ND, not Sony, not anyone. So for the love of god, don't go taking it out on the developers! I understand you're frustrated your videogame won't come early, but please take a deep breath, pop open a beer, and go finish the other games on your backlog. It's just a shitty situation to be in, but I think it's reasonable to say there are bigger concerns in the world right now. Countless deaths are predicted to happen all around the globe - worst case scenario predictions put us at millions in the USA alone, and that's not counting the indirect deaths that occur when someone has a heart attack/car crash/etc but there are no ICU beds available. Countless more will lose their jobs or be otherwise financially ruined - the pandemic has been a huge menace to us all. Sony and ND must ensure the safety of all their staff, and we should be grateful that all we have to pay for that is not being able to play a videogame. There's also things we don't understand about what goes into the final stages of game development and what it takes to finish the game, and it may have been impossible to have it all wrapped up without endangering themselves during these troubled times and it was perhaps not practical to do so by working from home, so it is important to understand all perspectives and be respectful of each other.

    Screenshots

    Regarding the newly "released" screenshots, we've received info that those pictures were not supposed to be released. Since the pictures were taken down from the website, we are treating those screenshots as leaks/spoilers, and thus not allowing them to be posted or discussed on the subreddit. We are aware that many of you may have already seen them and may be eager to discuss them, but the leaks may be considered as moderate spoilers for some or many, and we must try to protect those who haven't seen it from potential spoilers and letting them make their own choice: to look them up on the internet at their own risk if they so wish. We know how much this game means to all of you and many of you have been waiting a long time for Part II. We intend for the players to be able to experience the game as they want when the game finally drops and we'd be remiss if we let a stray spoilery screenshot hinder anyone's experience and immersion. Sorry for the inconvenience again and we hope you understand. We also hope you all stay safe and take good care of yourselves. If you've made this far, I'd like to close with a reminder that this is no mere flu or cold. Although young, healthy people with no chronic illnesses (such as you reading this, I presume) have a very low death rate, the rate at which they need hospital beds is actually very similar to that of older people - they just don't die. I know you know you're not gonna die from this and thus you feel invincible, but when you go hang out with friends and get infected, you're potentially denying a hospital bed to someone who really needs it - be it an elderly/sick/frail/weakened COVID patient who will die without hospital help, or anyone else who needs a hospital stay but won't be able to secure one due to how overcrowded hospitals will be. So please, not just for your own sake, but for the sake of everyone else: stay home. Stay safe. Wear masks. You know the drill. I must repeat: worst case scenario estimates (if people don't stop working and going out) for the USA put them at millions of dead. This is serious.

    Here's hoping for a better tomorrow. Let's fight this together, endure and survive.

    When the game gets delayed

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 03:57 PM PDT

    Swear to us that the game won’t be delayed again...

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 09:15 PM PDT

    "Your watch is broken" kind of feeling today.

    An old drawing I made in 2018, here’s for a little more waiting!

    Troy Baker reveals that the story for #TheLastofUs2 left him speechless – 'If we have done our job right, people will question everything'

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 09:52 AM PDT

    Holy Shit!

    Information comes from Fandom's official Twitter page. It says the exact same thing as the headline -

    Exclusive: Joel actor Troy Baker reveals that the story for #TheLastofUs2 left him speechless – 'If we have done our job right, people will question everything'

    I think more information would be out soon.

    Can't wait!

    Thoughts are with this guy today and every day

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 06:51 PM PDT

    It's not fair to be angry at Naughty Dog for this...

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 12:29 PM PDT

    I think some are forgetting that many people rely on physical editions. Internet is not integrated everywhere. I'm not niave to think that sony had a bleeding heart to worry about fans wanting the game but sales would fall. And it's a story heavy game so you csnt split the release because those who cant get digital would be spoiled and not buy the game.

    It sucks trust me, it sounds kinda pathetic to write but I am devastated by this news. This game was the light at the end of the tunnel and not having any kind of release date makes this whole mess feel worse.

    But it's the right call to delay it and people shitting on Neil and the team (especially since it seems they didnt have the biggest say in this) is dickitry.

    Edit: many people are bringing up the actions from before this pandemic was a thing (i.e teasing the game so early, the original delay). And I don't have a huge defense for those on their own. I personally wouldn't have made the call to tease so early nor wait forever to announce the date and state that was SURE the game would be out in Feb. Purposefully going out if my way to talk about how I wanted to avoid delays. And I wouldn't crunch my team of devs if I didnt have to...

    That being said this post is about THIS delay. I know its insult to injury but they could not have predicted this at all. Our fuckin president was denying it was a thing while it was happening. I just dont think it's right to fault then for this or act like it was their master plan to make us suffer. Shit happens man and it blows but blaming someone who cant change it is not, as they say, it chief.

    (Also I specified "angry" in the title for a reason. Being disappointed or sad is more than okay. Hell I'm downright depressed like I stated earlier. Dont be spew hate or anger at whoever for making the right call this time around is the point of this post.)

    Part II may be delayed, but don’t forget to look for the light at the end of all this.

    my Joel sketch from a few years back! (2015, maybe) Can’t wait to see him again on part 2

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 10:39 AM PDT

    A friend and I wanna replay TLOU on Grounded+ before Part II releases, so we made a drinking game out of it! Anything I should add?

    The Last of Us won the best game of the last 12 years title at BAFTA awards!

    Looks like all our copies are post pandemic edition now

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 12:08 PM PDT

    This delay is extremely disappointing and the uncertainty of its release date will make it unbearable as there's nothing to look forward to. However, I'm sure all the waiting and delays will be worth it in the end and make it that much more exciting when we can finally play it. All we can do now is endure and survive.

    We were on the verge of greatness.We were this close.

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 12:20 AM PDT

    Kinda sad right now not going to lie, but it's understandable considering the state of the world right now.Everyone deserves to play it at the same time.

    Why the delay means to much

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 04:58 PM PDT

    I get why the delay happened and saving lives is the top priority but To me the hype for part 2 was the only thing getting me through the last few months and the only thing I was looking forward to. Now we don't know when it's coming out. Could be June, October, next February? Does any one else just feel empty like without part 2 there's nothing to look forward to?

    Before everyone freaks out, this isn’t a delay for the game, it’s a delay for the people.

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 12:14 PM PDT

    Per Jason Schreier, the game is basically done and would've been ready to release 5/29, but because of COVID-19, the logistics weren't there to launch it.

    The factories printing discs may not be open in time to print enough copies of the game, and the stores may not be open for people to purchase the game, so rather than screw half of the player base, they're electing to release it when everyone can play it at the same time.
