Following up footage from God of War: Ascension, The Last Of Us demonstrated its own brutal, gut wrenching gameplay. Today's look was more varied, but no less mysterious, as we're privy to some new relationships in Ellie's life beyond Joel, and got a look at just how dangerous she has become.Naughty Dog’s long awaited new game, The Last of Us, made its E3 debut last night as it concluded Sony’s E3 press conference. It showed off some entirely new characters, dispensing some utterly disturbing violence, even for The Last of Us. It was a dark but familiar tone to reintroduce Ellie and her companion Joel - but the second trailer went in an entirely different direction. The first announcement of The Last of Us: Part II came about three and a half years after the first game arrived and showed protagonist Ellie grown up by about five years from when we last saw her, singing a song and promising to kill on "every last one" of some unknown group that has wronged her. Unfortunately, we didn't hear anything about a release date for the game - chances are it'll be sometime in 2019 if we haven't heard anything yet. ![]() And that was it for the first look at The Last of Us Part II. Indeed it looks as if Naughty Dog has transplanted some of the mechanics and combat from Uncharted 4.Īfter Ellie brutally kills the last man, the trailer cuts back to the church, with Ellie's moment with her companion continuing in relative peace. The encounter also showed off some new dodging mechanics, something that wasn't terribly easy in the original game. However, there's a good way to even the odds: for the first time, you can craft additional arrows, in this case an explosive one. Fans of the game will also be happy to know that the old reliable brick makes a return.Įventually, Ellie gets pretty well cornered by her attackers, hiding in a store three against one. ![]() Fortunately, there's another new hiding place in this game - you're able to crawl under abandoned cars and shoot out your foes from there. Ellie hides in the grass, but the enemies are smart enough to know where she's hiding this time. Before long, though, she's spotted and has to engage in some brutal hand-to-hand combat, using her knife. Naturally, the first weapon we see Ellie pull is her trusty bow and arrow, as she begins sneaking through the encampment to take out the crew she spied. It's hard to tell just how good the graphics are from the preview, but so far both the lighting and detail of the character's faces have been outstanding. It's quite similar to what the killers from the second trailer appeared to be doing, and it seems increasingly likely that this band of savages will be your main enemy in the game. Ellie's sneaking through a forest after her kill, eventually coming upon a large group of men torturing and killing a poor soul tied to a post. "I'm just a girl, not a threat," Ellie says, before her kiss, to which Dina replies "Ellie, I think they should be terrified of you." And then we find out exactly why everyone should be terrified of Ellie.Īfter that tender kiss, things get significantly darker, as Ellie chokes out a man in a forest - and we finally get to see the first true gameplay footage. Indeed, Ellie ends up dancing closely and eventually with a female companion named Dina, a nod back to the Left Behind DLC and its reveal of Ellie's sexuality. This initial preview shows a much calmer scene than either of the previous trailers, focusing on a community relaxing and having a good time at a dance in the church, as Ellie talks with a few friends about upcoming patrols.
