Naughty Dog Shares Emotional The Last of Us 2 Rehearsal Scene

I love seeing these kind of things. The making of the original game was a great watch.

Sadly no But I will replay it! (Not only because of this)

I still haven't bought this game (was gonna get it with PS5), but this little clip here is the tipping point. I'm gonna get it!!!

Have to admit though I don't like the game, finding that guitar and watching the following scene was absolutely amazing.

@get2sammyb Yes.. I thought I could return later and explore more

Yeah ..not to much I can miss ...I'm one of those players that tries to search ever crack on my first playthrough...the game wasn't half bad like people are putting it out to be...some plots I would of done differently but it's not my game to make soooo...all an all it's a good game I recommend you buy..☺️

To me this was just as heartwarming as the giraffes in Salt Lake in the first game

@gollumb82 the way Dina looks at Ellie is just so beautiful and pure. The facial animation is crazy good, even in regular gameplay you can pause it and Ellie’s face will look more detailed than most games do in cutscenes.

Amazing scene, there are quite a few missable bits if you rush the game. I'm sure I probably missed a couple myself, another favourite was when Abby was raking in manny's room finds a note and as you begin to read he comes and grabs it from her and scrunches it up, little touches like that are all over the game!

@keihtg Everyone who's holding off for the PS5 version should get it, I'll be getting the PS5 remaster anyway just as with the first game.

Whoa whoa whoa @kappasig130 don’t go pulling an Ed Sheeran!!!!
As beautiful as this is, this is NOT Ellie’s rendition arranged by the talent at Naughty Dog. Surely you’ve heard of A-Ha and if not most surely seen Deadpool 2?

This beautiful acoustic version of this song is actually a rendition arranged and performed by A-Ha.m themselves. Naughty Dog had Ellie 100% outright cover, most likely inspired by how poignant it was when used in a similar scene in Deadpool 2. The character is not performing her interpretation of that song.
We thank you A-Ha https://youtu.be/-xKM3mGt2pE

This was one of my absolute favourite moments in the game...took me a minute to realise what she was singing...my Danish-pop knowledge is a bit rusty...but wow!

Only about 5 hours in but this was my favourite moment so far

The article says they are sitting “in the exact same positions” as in the game. They’re not. When Ellie is playing/singing Dina is NOT sat cross legged.

Really hope they do a full length making of like they did for the first game to get to see other moments like this.

@gollumb82 there’s been a few moments like that in this game and I love it. ND is second to no one in creating these heartfelt moments in such an intense world.

@Odium
True that. I don't want to discuss any more of them so as not to spoil anything for those who haven't finished/played it yet

@gollumb82 I couldn’t agree more, it’s always better to let people experience it on their own.

It's because of scenes like this that I completely disagree with any Metacritic review bellow 5 for this game. I can understand that people may not agree with some plot decisions but other than that the environments, the gameplay, acting, sound were all top notch.
I don't understand when people only see things in binary. It's either insanely good or trash.
TLOU2 can't be on the same table as truly awful games. Games ridden with bugs, with poor gameplay and badly designed. Not even games like AC Unity or Mass Effect Andromeda got so many low scores and those were almost unplayable games due to the bugs and poor performance.

@get2sammyb Your TLOU2 guide includes one of the 'missable' parts of the gameplay.

I've been using it to mop up the few collectables I missed, and in "The Descent" for the Oregon coin, it says "after you've been grabbed by an enemy who breaks through a wall"... but depending on how you play, this might not happen. It did happen to me on my first play-through, but going through again to mop up, it didn't.

Just an FYI... not sure how you could change it without getting quit specific.

It would be awesome if they added a DLC in which you play as Tommy through out the game.

Beautiful scene, I was utterly captivated when playing the game, I found it very moving.

There are so many epic moments like this, the game is something of an emotional rollercoaster like that, I found. My absolute favourite in this game was the Birthday sequence, I actually got choked up at this chapter.....beautiful!

@eshy76 did you just call A-ha Danish?????

@Ultima893 Urrrrggghhhhhhhhhh - shame on me! Apologies to all Norwegians, A-ha and their fans...if only I had said "Scandinavian".

Thank you for calling me out...well deserved!

The end flashback scene is one of the most emotional scenes for me. The acting and facial animations are high standard.

I found it difficult to play when playing as abby trying to kill Ellie. After getting to know the characters it felt wrong and uncomfortable. Still a very good game.
