- Join me as I take a look at the full documentary Grounded II Making The Last of Us Part II, which takes viewers through the development process of Naughty Dog’s acclaimed sequel, The Last of Us Part II. Learn from behind-the-scenes footage of what went into Part II’s development throughout the years, including its launch.
Certain sections have been edited out because of time constraints on my end and not wanting to discuss those sections in the video.
Naughty Dog actually managed to ship The Last of Us Remake without any crunch! I hope that they can continue with this, going forward!
Yeah let’s hope that trend continues. Wish them the best over there.
That's beacuse they did not even develop it lol. Bend studios did majority of the remake while naughty dog threw in updated animations, gun customization animations, cutscenes and some other minor details and eventually it released under Naughty Dog for obvious reasons.
Its Remake so its bit differnt then Trying to push the bar when you trying to that you will get Crunch.
On Abby's design. Your argument is that it doesn't make sense, because of lack of food resources. However, the game itself explains that the WLF isn't lacking resources. Especially for their soldiers. The game even shows a gym with soldiers working out right when we start playing as Abby again.
There's also other scenes showing Abby's gradual changes as she keeps bulking up.
Even at the end of the game during the final fight. Abby is not as bulky. She looks slimmer and sickly. Why? Because she's been deprived of the resources necessary to maintain her physique.
The game does a good job of explaining why Abby's body is the way it is and why it changes throughout the game. They put a lot of thought into it.
Hmmm I must have missed that part where the soldiers are working out and they have an abundance of resources. To me as a player it didn’t make sense. So I guess they didn’t get it accross to me visually or through story enough for me to notice that
I noticed the end of course how she changes ect but the initial reason she was big didn’t come accross in the story to me
Either way it didn’t effect the game to me as a player how big her arms were. I still enjoyed the game for what it was

@@YorkReacts this is js a weird take. we have literally never seen any doubting about the other men’s muscling in the game let alone in other games all the time. I think you should take some time to read the comments on that video and reflect on why misogynistic viewers are commenting sexist things in agreement.
Joel literally lived on scraps and food stamps in the first game not eating a single thing which is STILL eating less then Abby and on top of that doesn’t have close to the same resources as the WLF. Joel is also double Abby’s age, something which in your realistic standards should effect his physique.
I like the decision to make abby buff. It shows how obsessed and dedicated she was to getting Joel. Also, her living situation at the stadium was pretty nice. They did not look like they were starving or struggling.
Food for thought th-cam.com/video/CghHzKcOcls/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DjW_neyrmDgaUurT
Naughty dog and rockstar are by far my favorite studios. So it’s really cool that you worked for rockstar and done work on a naughty dog game, which by the way the animation in both studios games are absolutely fantastic man great work!
There was a lot of videos and streamers hating on TLOU2, I remember that time perfectly. With the time it has gained a lot of respect between gamers, but still is a pretty divisive videogame
Yeah agree very divisive game. That being said still a very well crafted game.
@@YorkReacts I think that's fine, something similar happens with Death Stranding. For me they have more "indie" concepts than AAA ones.
I'm only 20 minutes into the video so far but I'm really appreciative of your perspective alongside having it shared with us, chill vibes and all. I'm a happy new sub here haha
Dude, chill about the resources. Yes, a group in this world is gonna have somebody like this because they need that type of security and if you know the game, you know that Abby was a high-ranking Security type member in that group so it makes sense that she is that Muscular and able.

If I thought it made sense I wouldn't have made the comment I did. It doesn't make sense to me and I am entitled to feel that way... Would you agree? Or should we battle it out for another 15 comments on this youtube video lol
@@YorkReacts I know my comment comes across as argumentative. I have difficulty regulating my tone sometimes. Not trying to debate. When I use speech to text, it doesn’t exactly translate tone so it comes across badly.
That being said, I also appreciate the engagement 😃
@@ScottCurryistheOne I think it’s the way you start your comments to me. With…. BRO!! Chill and BRO!! “You don’t know what your taking about!! “
Each comment starts off like that lol so yeah it comes off a certain way but it’s all good man don’t sweat it lol I don’t take this stuff to seriously. It’s funny though and interesting how much this game has ruffled feathers with people and gets people arguing over this most silly stuff ever in a video game hahah guess in a way it’s good marketing
47:10 In the WLF stadium base, various vendors are even selling fruits, food and supplies. As the best killer of WLF boss Isaac Dixon, Abby can eat as much as she wants. It is not a problem at all.
Look at all the weight equipment also
@@Sablemae76 right A full-size gym
Who cares though look at her work out routine and what she most likely eats daily. It doesn’t make sense
@@YorkReacts It doesn’t make sense 🤣The game full of mushroom zombies running around biting people. That part surely makes sense.
@@saghhinooz1755 haha I was joking about this with my wife lol she said this person Abby with big arms. She is is a real person ? Hahaha I laughed and said no she is a girl in a video game and she laughed lol 😂 I said yeah funny lots of people are all discussing a fake video game characters arms in a video game lol 😂 that’s what the world has come to haha
1:45:10 I like how you say that being organized etc. shouldn't push you into making a bigger game. But that is kind of his point too. His point is that they will naturally just try to make a bigger game instead of realizing that the extra productivity should help them cut down on time so crunch isn't necessary. Its the perfectionists dilemma. And they can't really control themselves. So now they have taken extra steps to do everything they can to stop crunch. Some people (including myself admittedly) crunch naturally because we just can't leave work at work sometimes. And maybe I don't have enough going on at home to take my mind off of work so why not just do the work I love anyway?
You're 100% right in everything you said, but your disagreement was misplaced only because Naughty Dog's stance on crunch was maybe a bit more nuanced than "overtime is crunch".
I think that the next game from Naughty Dog will be a new IP, and then the project after that one will be TLoU3. As they work on this new IP, Druckmann (and probably Halley Gross) will cook the story for TLoU3 in the background
1:04:24 “This girl” ….. does this dude not know who Laura “harp music” Bailey is?!?! Really?!
She is not a common household name for me sorry. I don’t know all the actors ect by heart.
@@YorkReactsyou probably know this by now since I’m late to your video but besides being a badass lol she and Ashley are best friends. They’re in crit role together along with their pals who also happen to be a bunch of VAs for characters in TLOU 1 & 2!
The death threats they sent to her baby boy specifically still piss me tf off.
@@mayniac23 yeah that is terrible to wish death threats on someone over a video game. I just don’t understand some people. Appreciate you checking out the video you are never to late haha 😂 I got tons of stuff on games check out more of my older stuff.
Is The Last of Us your favorite game ?
@@YorkReacts it’s one of them!! I’ve loved video games since I was 3 years old but TLOU changed my expectations for story based games ever since I watched my buddy play it on his ps3 in college lol. I have TLOU2 brain rot. I spend so much time paying attention to the smallest details. I can’t wait to see how they portray it on HBO. I’m worried but I have faith in the cast and crew.
I will absolutely check out more of your content!! :) really cool that you have worked on some of my other favorite games!! Funny enough, the friend I watched play TLOU in college is also the one that I stood outside of GameStop with in the cold waiting for our GTA5 preorders at midnight! We played it until 6am with 2 other friends lolll
York! loved this video. I know you've got a lot on your plate but I'm excited for whenever you get to streaming The Last of Us 2.
Haley gross interview was indeed needed and I’m glad they added it. ❤
Absolutely. It’s so frustrating when people say games/movies I love are torture p*rn against women when it very much isn’t. I can’t imagine if someone said it about something I made and was proud of.
York, it's always great to see your takes and insight. Specifically on this documentary, it was refreshing to see you weren't blindly biased regarding TLOU2/ Naughty Dog, even though you have worked for them. This made for an even more engaging watch.
I hope I live long enough to play a part 3, if it happens lol
This was an EPIC video by you York Reacts!!!!!
53:25 the reason why she's mad bc these young kids whop play video games doesn't want women to take action in making decisions about the game bc these kids think that women's ideas are woke.
Last December it was announced that E3 is no longer happening. It has been shut down permanently.
Yup I heard sad news for sure
46:00 that's literally the only criticism I've heard of Abby's physique/appearance that's somewhat reasonable, but I think from what we see of the WLF they do seem to have a surplus of food as well as the gym facilities for it to be realistic
th-cam.com/video/CghHzKcOcls/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OkPGP9LS7DZoHz6l check out this video as well
Last of us 2 and maxpayne 3 have some of best anmiations i have seen in games.
The facial animations on Ellie in Joels death scene are amazing.
My first video I’ve watched of yours. Threw it on in the background but gotta say man you’ve got a soulful personality, very knowledgeable, grounded and empathetic. You remind me of my uncle too in vibe and appearance lol that helps too def earned a sub.
This is soooooo cool to watch York Reacts on this video game!!!!!!
the reason for making abby's appearance so different was not just to make it different from ellie, it was to resemble joel. and in a lot of ways in not just her appearance she does - just think about the scenes abby has in the later half of the game, you will find many similarities between her and joel
Laura Bailey got so much hate for playing Abby felt so bad for her
Yeah agree it’s a video game character people need to chill out lol 😂
Why did you skip the E3 demo segment? I wanted to hear your thoughts regarding the animations
Ohh I forgot to mention in the video or comments there was a huge section where I lost audio on my recording and had to cut out a huge section of my edit
Maybe I should make a separate video on that because I had some thoughts on the match moving system they had implemented
@@YorkReacts That nice becuse i want you who had experience talk about that part
would be cool if RockStar did these videos with GTA and RDR series
Yeah I would love to see a documentary like this on any of the games rockstar has made to be honest
@@YorkReacts Do you think they ever would? Their weird secretive company culture makes it seem unlikely to me but you’d know better than me lol
Seeing those comments really upset my stomach because I understand how hard you guys work despite me not actually working in that field. I grew up watching dev videos and diving into the making of several videos games. I can only imagine the stress.
Laura got lot of threats beacuse she voices abby, so some blamed her for killing jole. It was super f*ck up.
And her infant son got death threats also
53:25 whoa shawty mad af 😂
Shawty? You're just making her point.
I love York's reaction to the female writer. They really should have left her saying she wrote all the romance and her rant out of the documentary because it will probably get her a lot of hate. Also I remember when the leaks came out, Naughty Dog still gets hate to this very day by several channels on youtube.
The blanking out Abby's name to make you think it was Anna, is something that I think was a big mistake. A mistake, because it lead people on to an angle I think more people would have been interested in -- that Ellie's mom was alive, or that we'd learn more about her. Misleading people into thinking it was Anna, I believe hurt Abbie's character.
Yeah pulling a bit much on peoples emotions and anticipations and expectations. Seems like they really enjoy doing that actually.
I watched this doc immediately and man... It made me feel fucking exhausted in the last 45 minutes just watching the talking head interviews being progressively more downtrodden because they all just want to go home lol incredible doc and great getting your perspective upon rewatch. Also it was funny to see your reaction to the co-writer's rant. So much of this doc feels like naughty dog devs getting mad about a comment on reddit and then spending months and months just to disprove it like the ultimate debate lord LMFAO
Yeah it was bit long for sure. But I guess I’d rather have a bunch of behind the scenes stuff and not just 3min of it. I really wish other companies did videos like this
They did let the comments and posts online get under their skin a bit to much I felt. But then again it was crazy to see people sending them death threats and all of that.. that was crazy can’t believe people do that
1:34:10 - Actually that's a PS5 Dev Kit, not PS4. 😇😇😇😇😉👌
Haha yes that’s what I meant to say lol I had one for a little bit
I really wanted to see your reaction as an animator to animation part in Grounded II documentary, but you cut off that part or skipped?
Ahhh such a bummer I recorded that whole bit and my audio was muted and I had to cut it out and I now I need to re record it or react to it again and make a separate video probably
It’s a bummer because I talked about the motion matching system they were using it was the most interesting part I felt of the documentary and I was bummed I was muted. And it was hard to go back and re shoot and edit once I noticed it. But I had a few people ask me about that.
My intent is now to go back and make a shorter video just animation related from the documentary and re shoot that section and edit it in. Keep you posted
Thanks for the explanation. Hate when that happens. Great reaction video none the less
I liked most of your reaction, I didn't appreciate the tired and old butthurt "arguments" of why Abby can't have the physique she has or why Joel didn't need to die like you know more in a 3 min realization than the decades of preparation and knowledge this people have of the characters they themselves created.
They brought it up and made it a point in the documentary and it might feel like a tried argument but it’s facts. Either way it’s just a game so who cares about her arms. And if they wanna kill Joel weather or not I agree with it.. is up to them. I may not like the decision but that’s my opinion to have. It’s nice to live in a world where I can share my thoughts freely.
@@YorkReacts then doesnt this mean you should be annoyed by any male character to EVER be buff in a post apocolypse setting???
Much love York
Maybe make 10 or 15min highlight video for this kind of 1hour videos.
Yup was just thinking that today haha 😂
The co-writer got wayyy to hurt by that one article about females. Instead of completely ignoring it, the writer of the article won simply by her reaction
That went on for awhile lmao
I thought the only part of the game that Naughty Dog fucked up with was making you play as Abby while fighting Ellie. That was too much.
That was probably my favorite part of the whole game. It was fantastic to see Ellie from another perspective and the whole fight is just wonderfully brutal.
There's mushroom zombies on this game and this dude is thinking about how believable is for Abby to have bigger guns than him bc of food lol how fragile men are ffs
Wait you take my comment with her arms being big as me or men being fragile ? That’s how you interpret that? Wow….
If anyone sees my previous comments and thinks ‘what an asshole’ well yeah I kinda was being but York TALKED to me, and at least on my side, I enjoyed myself. Props bruh ❤
Dont sweat it come join us LIVE tonight for some RDR2 Gameplay roaming the Wild West with some Whiskey on a Friday night
@@YorkReacts oops got this a little late but I’ll be there next time (I assume there will be a part 4)
@@ScottCurryistheOne right on yeah it was a fun one last night lol lots of good laughs and I killed the legendary bear only to die later trying to kill these guys who were jacking a wagon lol haha love this game
@@YorkReacts The RDR series I just couldn’t get into. Kept getting sidetracked, COVID, my stroke…many different reasons and I know RDR2 is a fantastic game for those that like the games, but the story didn’t engage me really. I should just charge in with a story only mentality at some point but I haven’t found the motivation to do so honestly. 🤷🏼♂️
I don't want to watch it but not because I don't want to because I haven't played part 2 yet so this would spoil it I feel 🙂
I don't get why you are so dismissive about the co-author's reaction to this weird criticism on violence against women. You said they should have left it out. Why? Showing a key member of the crew being frustrated by feedback in the middle of production fits very well into a documentary like this, and since the theme of women and violence is a key part of the game, it's definitely not out of place. Based on your reaction I have the feeling that feminism as a subject is bothering you somehow? You seemed kinda triggered when she used the term.
Nope im not triggered by it all. Looks like you are and she was though. I think they should have left it out because she is flying off the handle sorta and it’s not a good look. It’s not professional to let people’s comments get the best of you and she tells the person to suck a d$ck. It’s just a bit much I felt.
@@YorkReacts So you think the doc should just have been about technical stuff? That the experiences of the people involved aren't interesting at all?
Man, triggered is such a loaded word. I should have use a different one: you were clearly bothered by her bringing up feminism.
And she didn't pull the subject out of her ass. The article writer was like: impossible that women could have been involved in this! I find her reaction very understandable and relevant in the context of the game.
And getting vulgar about it? Come on, why not? That's what happens when you're angry.
edit: so yes, she was triggered. Rightly so.
I honestly wasn’t bothered at all she brought up feminism. I think you are reading into my reaction to much and assuming things about me.
@@YorkReacts Yeah, maybe I misinterpreted that, I a apologize for assuming things. Let's just agree to disagree on the other points.
Bro, stop calling this behind-the-scenes. It’s not it’s a documentary on the development of the video game not a behind-the-scenes on the filming of the game.
This isn’t behind the scenes on a video game? What are you going on about ? Same shit I don’t know why you got your panties in a bunch of me saying BTS
You must be fun at parties LOL
I was just adding clarification because it seemed like you went into this expecting something different. I DID appreciate the engagement but damn, this just seems like I hit a nerve 😳
@@ScottCurryistheOne haha nah your good. I felt that I must have hit a nerve with you the way your comment sounded lol I love this stuff and have fun making these videos. I don’t take this stuff to seriously. It’s video games after all hah and I appreciate you checking out my video. Hopefully you got something from it other then then details of its BTS or documentary ect. Overall it was an interesting video and I’m glad Naughty Dog released it. I wish more companies showed videos like this about the games they make
@@YorkReacts And I can absolutely admit to not realizing I was still in defensive mode; I don’t know but I solely took up the role of social justice warrior to those that didn’t understand that $10 was well worth what we were getting, and I so often go off half-cocked but great to talk to someone that can understand the passion 👍🏻
You should watch Angry Joe's review on The Last of Us Part 2 🤣
Ok I will check it out. Def no promises on watching the whole thing this documentary is way to long for that lol 😂
His review was overly dramatic and low IQ, he missed alot of details, but to be fair his name ANGRY joe afterall.
I think you're dismissing the section of the bad faith articles on violence as merely an outside issue regarding the game, and not one that holds any merit to comment on. In which case, I think you are wrong about that. The context of the female narrative is a conversation the game explores so therefore it is an integral part of that game's development. When she says "if you want to have a serious debate about feminism.." , the response "no we don't though" is frankly irrelevant to her point. She's not responding to the community's needs, that is said to give bts on the storytelling angle, to what it is that story needs. She is giving her advice navigating that space, specifically her female perspective on that aspect, one which serves a great deal for that certain representation. The entire bts of any game involves its devs, so it makes sense it highlights their insight. Why not comment? Especially when artists get threats for their creativity. Of course outside opinions shouldn't go to affect development and the position likely requires some tough skin for combating that but does that mean they shouldn't defend their art? The purpose of the game is to start conversations. Admittingly no one did say the director Halley Gross is "less female" for said reason or the other, but when Polygon publishes the question "How many women were involved in the creation, editing and approval of this trailer? In an industry (and studio) that's predominantly run by men, did women feel comfortable offering a critique?", what does that imply about women and what their development experiences are expected to look like? The misconception here about women holds strong in this industry. Respectfully, this is just to bring awareness, but I'd ask you to reflect on how that particular section made you uncomfortable. Good day
It didn’t make me uncomfortable she is more then welcome to give her thoughts on the subject. I was more so shocked at her response. I’d personally just rather hear about other aspects of the production.
Hate saying something like this but, I think Halley made some terrible decisions with the story. Making Dina pregnant? How is that a good idea at all?
Adds and interesting parallel to Mel and makes the relationship between Dina, Ellie and Jessie more nuanced - I liked how they went about it
Biggest scam in the history of video games
What do you mean please explain ?
