Does Last Of Us 2 have a giraffe in it? cos that was the best thing about the first one. If they'd cut out all the other shite and just had the giraffe scene the game would've been a 10.
1995: Sony gives you a disk with a T-Rex on it and that's it, that's the entire thing.
2022: Sony doesn't even mention or show how they've upgraded the Last of Us giraffes let alone provide you a giraffe viewing disk.

Imagine how much better TLOU would've been if the characters had been giraffes instead of sad dad and sour puss

On the one hand, this forum is very pro-worker and creator, but on the other people will just shit all over every aspect of some games before the full details are out. I find it baffling and it is no surprise people get chased with how venomous some commenters are. Just some thoughts from a long time lurker.

Yeah I've been apart of this community before Resetera was a thing and it still surprises me lol.
The beauty about choice is not being forced to do something, or buy something.
We got some real issues in this world and people vent vigorously about the initial price of a game because we all know over time it will get cheaper.
The comments that people make sometimes is wow worthy.

I'm not really sure what they're crying about. I'm sure it took a lot of work, it's also completely pointless and that work could have been used for so much more interesting and new stuff.

While I realize that Khu is one of the few people on the planet willing to leak information regarding new Pokemon games, his tweets sometimes contain misogynistic and transphobic language. If you are going to post something that he leaks, please summarize it. I realize that the language that Khu posts can sometimes be important because he likes to talk in riddles -- if you must quote him directly because you think the language of his tweets is important, please do not repost his misogynistic and transphobic comments. If you post something from him containing this language, the mods are going to have to take action. Please do not let it come to this.

Watched an advanced screening. Opens with Nolan speaking to the camera, “I condone everything in this movie and the use of nuclear weapons. In fact, I wish they dropped a third bomb. War crimes rock!” Then he high fives Marty Scorsese and Clint Eastwood.

Thread is pretty funny because the first page is filled with people proclaiming how everyone in the leak thread was wrong while the video actually does nothing but confirm the leaks.  People on the later pages then very confused about what they were celebrating

And someone does the counter approach:

I'm going to take the bait...

(Long rant how the IOJ were evil Nazis that raped his great aunt and enslaved his great uncle. And the bomb was good to end the conflict fast. ( Remember that part of Watchmen when Roschach justified the atomic bomb to show his hypocrisy?)))


https://www.resetera.com/threads/oppenheimer-movie-teaser-dir-by-nolan.610380/page-2

Like, dude… you could just said “when was the last time the atomic bomb was represented in a glorious way” rather than going full chicom talking point neoliberal hawk propaganda justifying an atrocity to answer a shit post.

I don’t think he is factually wrong but that was a large mental effort to answer a drive-by post.

I thought the epilogue where they pondered whether or not dropping one on Disneyland before Disney World opened could have stopped the continuing downfall of society or not was a bit long though.

I don't understand. This video basically just confirms the leaks that this is more or less the same game? Just with prettier visuals/animations? Why the celebrations?

The concern trolling some y’all are doing over the price is so funny to me. Just wait for a sale if you aren’t into it. It’s tiring seeing so much toxicity over this game. It’s really not that serious.
Saying it's not worth the $70 is now concerned trolling.

I’m still waiting for an actual example of “toxicity” from that leak thread. It’s full of people disappointed they are charging 70 dollars for this. That isn’t being toxic. These people are as sensitive as Trump lovers.  :lol

Then someone says they got pressured into releasing this and that somehow gets turned into a dog pile because these snowflakes thought they meant they made it in 24 hours. All they meant was it’s a video that was going to be released closer to release but because of the leaks, they had to put it out now.

The last thread wasnt toxic because people wanted to go prone and bummed they couldn't. It was toxic because of the outrageous claims that they were trying to scam customers and pretending like it is something it isn't and some gaudy leaked footage was some government conspiracy that sheds light on this "atrocious scam". Instead of giving them a second to show it on their own time.

If you were hoping for a FF7Remake caliber of change, that is more on you... the creation of this game was never intended to be a way to pull a fast one on gamers. It was obviously remade with a lot of love and detail, it wasn't a SKYRIM HD "cashgrab".

Wait a month or two and get it at half price, or skip it. It's not a big deal.

Looks great, but I’m not getting it on launch.

With that said, and I’ll say this in as prettied up way as I can, this thread has many posts that do little to hide that their toxicity is no different from what you would see elsewhere on the internet.

There’s a lot more I want to say on this topic, but it’s probably not worth it.

 :mindblown

WHAT TOXICITY?  Legit criticisms that the official videos look exactly like the leaks isnt toxicity! I hope many remember these toxicity takes in the next Xbox or Nintendo gameplay thread and mock the hell out of these goof balls.

I'll pick up TLOU Remastered remastered when it hits 20 bones on a sale in a few months, whatever

Using some anonymous devs as shields in those type of very general discussion is a little fallacious, maybe gross in some manners.
John Doe Dev is not in charge of steering the project, making design decisions, whatever particular field he works on is obviously not encompassed in criticism. I don't know if it's a worthwhile, high quality discussion to nag about the price and the lack of major gameplay additions but no one is targeting "workers" here, it's clearly companies and management decisions that are contended.

It's maybe selling technical work a little short to say it's "just" a graphical upgrade (which I'm sure under the hood and in a variety of obscure details is way more complex than just pushing a "more polygons" and "link to new lighting model" magic button).

however I also hate this trend in discourse on era and elsewhere that it's utterly impossible for devs to be lazy, because sometimes it's a hard job and they have to crunch sometimes etc

it's possible for anyone to be lazy, at any time

laziness could be found higher up the chain, in refusing to figure out the right number of people or man hours for a job and either throwing too many or too few at any given project

I guarantee you every game dev makes dozens of decisions at their job every day borne out of a desire to do something easier or quicker, which isn't necessarily bad but yes, developers are human too, it's not magically the only job free from all laziness

The silliest thing about the remake, imo, is its a remake of a widely available and playable on PS5 nine year old game that probably still doesn't look that bad anyway. Most people would have been happy with a patch that bumps the ps4 remaster to full 4k and is now playable at 120fps.

It's not some weird shit like Demons Souls where the original game had its servers shut down taking away a big part of the experience and there was never a PS4 version to begin with.

If they based it upon the PS4 remaster then I'd imagine it's a relatively easy job - lots of games had small patches to unlock frame rates and do clever tricks when the PS5 launched.

If it's a complete port of the PS3 build I'd imagine it's a lot more work.

Either way it's not worth $70.

The most annoying part of the remake is to me how the fanboys constantly moved the goalpost. This guy did a good summary

There is some heavy historical revisionism going on.


When this project was first rumored, the implication constantly parroted by reporters and fans on here was that it would presumably be a wholly transformative experience that would incorporate TLOU2 gameplay mechanics.

When the video first leaked out from the PlayStation store, people disappointed at no gameplay changes on display were continuously mocked and told to shut up and wait for the Summer Game Fest event where gameplay would surely be shown because it was coming out so soon. It wasn't shown.

Whenever anyone pointed out that the marketing copy on the store description and Neil's answer to the question about changes were vague and could simply mean less clunky controls or animation transitions, they were shouted down and told they were being ridiculous. Posters were going on about how entire playable areas of the game were probably going to be reworked because surely Naughty Dog wouldn't incorporate such massively transformative overhauls otherwise, and how the gameplay changes would make the game worth it, and that gameplay footage would be coming out very soon because there were only a few months until release.

When the gameplay footage leaked out the other day, posters insisted that it must be some kind of strange pre alpha visualization in which they had the entire game running in engine with final assets but without major gameplay systems incorporated, and that the real footage would be totally different, and that there was no reason at all to believe that gameplay footage had to come soon because there was a whole month left before release.


Throughout this whole thing, there were also constant claims that TLOU1 had become a barely playable relic due to its more limited mechanics and level design in the wake of Part II's release, which was rhetoric to justify the hypothetically totally different remake.

You call it lazy, I call it efficiency !
I see where they're going from on this, throwing lazy around at every service or worker you're not happy with is kind of a... lazy (duh) first kneejerk often tinted with entitlement and it's rarely illuminating or insightful.
I feel most arguments on ERA really are more about creative bankruptcy or whining along the line of "why don't they just fix X" :maf than a comment on the actual productivity of employees.

The remake is unnecessary since TLOU Remastered is still perfectly viable and a very good looking game to this day. But who cares? Everyone will play it once it hits their price -- whether that's half price or free via Plus. The entitlement is ridiculous.

Nintendo re-releases decades old games with no improvements. Gets thoroughly outdone by the community who works for free (Mario 64 PC, OoT PC), and they still gobble it up gladly.

It's both safe, easy money and maybe a way to keep the wheels running at Naughty Dogs alongside another project in early stages. Maybe a cool off period with no crunch involved too. I don't know how it is in the US but if there's no work in the pipeline, a lot of contractors and freelancers are not sticking around even if they have rare expertise.

Will they ban sales threads once the Hogwarts game is out? It’s gonna be at the top of sales charts or near it for quite some time. People who dare poke their head in to say they are happy the game is doing so well and are loving the game will be dogpiled and banned for it.

Stifling discussion of a mega game release to satisfy one community again. But they’ll keep going on about mods not caring about them and it’s why they are leaving in droves.

It's amazing how many people seem to have this smug vindication that they still feel the same about the game even after the new trailer. Who gives a shit? Don't buy it? Obviously there are many of us who are on board. Are we supposed to acknowledge your pain about why YOU think it sucks and is a rip off or a rehash? I really don't give a shit what you think really. If you don't see the value in this, by all means don't buy it or wait until it goes on sale? It's pretty easy. There are so many other games to throw your money at.
Thank you for participating on a forum. Is this your first time?
It's getting old Jarmel. Very old. People get banned for less in other threads. Can we at least maybe add a disclaimer or have a different thread that separates the outrage to it's own space? Crazy I know.

It's amazing how many people seem to have this smug vindication that they still feel the same about the game even after the new trailer. Who gives a shit? Don't buy it? Obviously there are many of us who are on board. Are we supposed to acknowledge your pain about why YOU think it sucks and is a rip off or a rehash? I really don't give a shit what you think really. If you don't see the value in this, by all means don't buy it or wait until it goes on sale? It's pretty easy. There are so many other games to throw your money at.

It's getting old Jarmel. Very old. People get banned for less in other threads. Can we at least maybe add a disclaimer or have a different thread that separates the outrage to it's own space? Crazy I know.

Always weird to see posts that try to rewrite history as it happens. When you look at that first page you see plenty of "smug vindication" of people who proudly proclaim the leaks were false (likely without watching the video) but now it's suddenly the people who remark that the gameplay remains unchanged who are the smug ones.

I don't get this. How is "I'm pretty disappointed that this is a two-generations old game being sold for a AAA price with little justifiable improvements" any less valid of a take than "OMG FUCKING HYPED FOR THIS YASS SLAY QUEEN"?

At this point may as well just completely sell out and drop the pretence of any video game discussion.

The videos themselves were fine, the channels are progressive and criticise racist responses to Star Wars or sexualisation of minors and women in media, but the accounts above were replying to each other like alt troll accounts and the low post counts bear that out, along with the username and profile pictures.

The fuck is this old-ass idiot even on about? It's fucking Panera, not Smith and Wollensky's. Shut the fuck up and eat your tuna and mayonnaise sandwich in silence.

Seriously, why is she so focused on whether the poor girl paid for shit? It's a Panera.

however I also hate this trend in discourse on era and elsewhere that it's utterly impossible for devs to be lazy, because sometimes it's a hard job and they have to crunch sometimes etc

it's possible for anyone to be lazy, at any time

laziness could be found higher up the chain, in refusing to figure out the right number of people or man hours for a job and either throwing too many or too few at any given project

I guarantee you every game dev makes dozens of decisions at their job every day borne out of a desire to do something easier or quicker, which isn't necessarily bad but yes, developers are human too, it's not magically the only job free from all laziness
It’s because they think resetera is an industry relevant forum and don’t want to tick off industry people. Nothing more.

How could anyone accuse the videogame industry of laziness?

It's not like it's one of the worst industries for exploiting customers with microtransactions, subscriptions, and releasing broken products or something...

Resetera: Advertising doesn't work on me. I am very smart!

Also Resetera: I saw this energy drink advertised and I really think it can rescue my life from the steaming pile of shit it has become.


Edit: like clockwork
GFuel recently treated their employees like shit

It’s a caffeine delivery system. If the flavors don’t sound appealing there are lots of caffeinated drinks that’ll do the same. Plus, iirc the owner is a bit of a racist.

What gives you and a thousand other angry entitled nerds who've already played the game years ago the right to decide this project's price point? If you don't want to play the game again, just don't buy it. Move the fuck on.

I apologize for believing the leaks. 😭

I literally speculated about seamless cutscenes and they did it holy shit the mad lads. The fucking mad lads.
