Naughty Gods, man.

The tonal Marianas Trench between the frame and the gameplay sequence was brilliant actually. Listen to what Ellie’s gal pal says before and after. Ponder the juxtaposition between what is said about Ellie and what she does. Consider all the potential implications and what this could mean about these characters.…

Nah. This is Ellie’s story now (so was the first game actually.) But you’re gonna be playing as Ellie (and perhaps Ellie’s mom?). They won’t kill Ellie halfway through to switch back to Joel.

You’re confusing Ninja Theory with Team Ninja :)

Brilliantly directed scene with the framing of the conversation between Ellie and her gal pal.

Oh, for sure. 1313 and Visceral’s Amy Hennig game had similar ambitions. They were both going to be singleplayer, linear, narrative-centric adventures. But they were different games. One died with LucasArts; the other died with EA. 1313 is dead as dead can be; the Visceral game is effectively dead, but tiny bits of…

Yep. They did indeed, and it will. They prefaced that trailer with “exclusive”.

No, 1313 was fully axed. We’re talking about the Star Wars game Amy Hennig was working on. Was effectively going to be Uncharted-Star Wars. EA’s gonna probably just salvage whatever work they can in the process of making a game with what they deem a more favorable business model.

Oh, certainly. But the fact that they’re able to do these things without requiring the same level of investment as, say, 343 and The Coalition seems like a large part of the equation. They get a game that looks more like something from a AAA team that will hopefully garner critical praise as a single-player,…

Yeah, the games have their fans, I know. I own a couple of them, and I’ve played a lot of all of them, and I think all three range from bad to mediocre. Opinions, opinions, of course. My primary point, though, is just that even if you’re a fan of those games, they’re absolutely not going to come across to most people…

1. Yeah, that game’s not coming anytime soon.

If you’re talking about Tunic, that’ll be a timed exclusive, so it’ll likely come to PS4 anyway.

Jump Force will be on PS4 Xbox One, and PC.

Ok, but I mean, that’s kinda beside the point.

Game Pass is legitimately interesting, but “Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2, and ReCore” is... not exactly an enticing list of games.

Oh, nah, they used the same language last year.

There’s a ton of sick shit in that trailer!
