Aaaaand The Last of Us 2 has apparently leaked.
Bravo, Sony.
What a shit show today was, right?
Complete and utter shit show for all involved.
I have to wonder how this all came out? Disgruntled employee? (the morale around ND ain't great if you believe the stories)...a unfortunate side effect of working remotely?
I am really curious how it all came out but yeah, absolute shit show.
Maybe. I think it's the fact people are more likely to buy into hype and impulse buy when they see something in the shops and there are in-store marketing campaigns. I don't know if a fear of lower sales is directly tied into people having less disposable income or people losing jobs, but it is a factor. The economic impact on society will be big, but we're no where near reaching the worse of it, which is yet to come.
I don't know. I find it all a bit weird really.
It is weird considering FF VII Remake came out and sold 3 million in 3 days (or so)...either they really didn't have the supply ready to go for TLOU 2, or maybe internal drama played a major part in this? I find it weird that Sony didn't just delay it, but delayed it indefinitely while refunding everyone who already pre-ordered it on PSN. Given that Sony is adamant in launching PS5 this year and everything that is happening with this pandemic.
Call it a theory, but could Sony possibly be pushing to make it a PS5 launch title? You got to think that this pandemic will have screwed their launch plans and they'd be looking for software to launch with since everyone else is probably gonna be delayed. TLOU 2 is done. What if there was an internal push to make TLOU 2 a cross gen launch title for PS5? Just a theory. I just find it weird they not only delayed it but refunded every digital preorder and wiped it from the PSN store. It'd be one thing to delay it a month or two and cite covid as the reason and supply issues and such, but to delay it indefinitely and refund everyone who bought it just seems weird.
At the end of the day, I don't know if this will effect sales too badly though when it does release. The (hardcore) internet is still a fringe crowd. Mainstream normies probably don't know shit about what happened today. The hardcore like us of course know, we can't escape this type of drama.
I actually did look at the spoilers....I don't know why. I just don't really have that much interest in Part II but was sort of curious none the less....I will say this, if the leaks are true (and probably are) then the direction they took will likely piss off everyone. And yet, I kind of grew more interested having read the "spoilers" than I've been thus far for it. I won't say anymore, all I know is this game will likely piss off everyone. (well it already has pissed off both sides with the fringe internet crowd)
