New Story Footage Looked Absolutely Brutal, Utterly Compelling
The final bit of new information revealed at this year’s Paris Games Week came from Naughty Dog. The Last of Us Part 2 dropped an absolutely brutal new trailer, one that showcased the savage nature of human beings under extreme duress. Who needs zombies when you’ve got plenty of human monsters to keep you up at night?
The trailer shows off a deep-seated conflict between two or three different factions, one that persists in spite of the obvious threat from the monsters in the shadows. Good god you people, fungal zombies are out there and you’re wasting energy gutting, hanging and hammering people to death. Talk about a waste of energy. No appearances from the stars of Part One, unfortunately. However, there’s no shortage of badass characters on display, even if they aren’t familiar faces just yet.
We still have no release date set for Part 2, with the game set to come out sometime in 2018. Did I mention how savage this trailer is? A little hard to watch, but you still get a good look at the tone to expect when this game is released. Seriously, don’t do that to people’s arms. Especially not in a post-hospital world like this one. Blergh.
