The Last of Us Season 2 Filming Will Start Early Next Year

Naughty Dog ever going to start production on a new game?

@Splat I think that they should continue developing TLOU2MP for a few more years before it's inevitable cancelation.

@Splat yeah cause the TV show is stopping production on new games 👍🏻

So with the release of Season 2 they will release the TLoUP2 remaster in 2025?

Thoroughly enjoyed the first season on physical 4K. It was pretty close to the game but also felt different at the same time with certain expanded scenes and minor differences that made perfect sense for a TV show. Its cgi was better than some big budget movies. Would have been a 10 out of 10 in my head if it wasn't for the lack of action with the infected, not much gun battles and not a single brick or glass bottle was used that I can remember. Everything else was really top tier good so I'll give it 8 maybe a 9 for the first season.

A bit more gun/fist combat action with the evil humans and the infected will go along way for Season 2. Hoping they don't use a golf club this time or any other sports weapon to stop the golf memes all the time, so boring expecting to read comments but end up reading 90% of the comments full of golf memes yawn💤

personally i didnt like the last of us tv show very much they changed too much in my opinion

Thing is, Bella Ramsey is way too young right now to convincingly carry out the story elements of the second game. She's too small, and too young, in my opinion. That's not to suggest she isn't a good actress, but in all honesty, my hope had been that they would make a least one series in between the series that portrayed the events of the second game. They could have made one or two series entailing completely new story elements that would have allowed Ramsey to get that bit bigger and that bit older. That would then have also had the benefit of prolonging the series, and keeping Pedro Pascal around for longer...

Should be around when I'll want to watch The Wire, Deadwood, Six Feet Under, and Sopranos again, so I'll wait to sub til then

I enjoyed the series for the most part, @trev666, but I also didn't like the changes they made, and more significantly, I didn't understand why they left so much out...

@Jacko11 Three years into the PS5 and they have yet to announce a game let alone make one. I love Naughty Dog, but they have only gave us a remake and remasters.

It's really not a good look that one of Playstations biggest developers have wasted years on a failed MP game.

@Max_the_German I'd be all over that tbh. Getting the part 2 plat all over again on PS5 yes please. Hopefully put the PS4 disc of part 2 into the PS5 for the £5 or £10 upgrade like it was with Uncharted Legacy of Thieves collection. Unless they're including this put on hold factions2 multiplayer and rumoured part 2 expanded story with it. Many PS4 1st party PC releases usually also get a PS5 remaster of sorts?

@Splat Naughty Dog is huge and will have multiple projects ongoing at once with multiple teams.

That’s how ‘PlayStations biggest developers’ operate.

Masterpieces take time, and I think they should take all the time they want/need.

@Fiendish-Beaver funny thing is she's actually closer to the age of part II Ellie already so I don't think she's going to get to a point where she looks much older any time soon. Still seems like bad casting imo but it's whatevs.

I'm sure the series will still be pretty solid regardless.

@zupertramp problem I see mainly is, Ellie in the TV show still has so much of her character building left for her to become who she becomes in Pt2,
I just hope they don't waste entire episodes on side characters about a story I couldn't give 2 thoughts too, so much wasted time and potential in S1

I agree, @zupertramp. As much as Ramsey may be a good actress, that is not the same thing as being right for the role. I know in the games that Ellie is smaller than Abbey, but even so, she does not look the part. If she is already at her full height, and she continues to look so young, then she will be even less right for the role when it comes to the story of the second game.

Pascal, on the other hand, come the end of the first series, really looked like Joel, and I thought he played the character well. That is part of the reason why I would like the TV series not feature the time jump seen in the games, and instead feature more of Pascal and Ramsey. Doing so would enable the 'killer' transformation that we see Ellie have in both games, but particularly the second one...

@Splat I'm right there with you, but the MP game should not be an excuse for Naughty Dog only releasing a remaster and a "remake" so far this generation. They should easily be big enough to be able to juggle more than that and at least have a new game coming soon.

I guess it shouldn't be too surprising given how things are going at PlayStation Studios and with Neil Druckmann maneuvering his way to the head of Naughty Dog. Most of the people that made Naughty Dog great are gone.

As for Season 2 of the show and beyond, I'm mostly interested in seeing how they handle the story, as I hated how the story of Part II was handled when I played it. I'm not confident even with changes that I'll like it that well, but I've still got to at least see how it goes.

Oh man that's too long to wait to find out what happened!

They better hurry then. I hear that IATSE may strike by summer if they don't get a much better deal as well.
