It’s a pity that they didn’t say anything about creating music for the game, because for me this is the best audio accompaniment in the entire gaming industry. And every single melody from Gustavo is a masterpiece that fits perfectly with this story.
Ugh, as someone really into the music of these games and a driving factor into what I wanted for at least a bit of this documentary I'm upset they didn't give Gustavo and the music department more attention
It looks weird from an outside perspective for sure but it’s absolutely necessary for the artists. You need someone who is willing to do wild stuff like this haha
I'm 52 years old and played these games with my 20 year old daughter. This game, and its predecessor, have given us both amazing memories that will stick with us forever. I never thought I'd connect with my daughter over a video game. I'm so glad we found TLoU. Thank you all so very much for the amazing work. We're on our second run through TLoU II. This time it's the remastered version.
@@kokdolfn you guys really out here to deny people’s personal impressions? We get it, you don’t like the game, all power to you, but you gotta keep it to yourself and stop trying to squeeze your criticism into every crevice. Live and let live, you know
I know, just because she killed Joel. Doesn't mean you should send her and her son death threats. And I honestly thought Abby was a good character, I was a little mad that Joel died but I wouldn't go as far as threatening Laura. People are ruthless 🤬!
Playing the first game with my dad was such an experience. When part 2 came out, my dad was going blind. So, I would be explaining to him what was going on. Him hearing Joel die and him telling me to do something and me telling him that I can’t and just accepting that he was dead was hard. My dad died a year later. But, we talked about if there was going to be a part 3. And we would come up with ideas of what would that be like. I hope there’s another part. I just would’ve loved that my dad was still here to play it with me.
R.I.P Dad, that was an amazing story. I can't imagine what you'll feel when Part 3 comes to light. Hopefully he'll be sitting next to you, watching you play what possibly is the conclusion of the story
That guy who was worried about being able to crack an overcast look for the game? Man, he absolutely nailed it in the end. The most beautifully damp looking game I ever played.
I felt uncomfortably damp during certain sections of the game despite being perfectly dry. I've been caught in downpours and felt like I was reliving how cold, wet and gross it feels as Ellie got soaked.
The industry need more documentary like this one. This teach all players what is the really about making a game and sometimes the consequences. That’s very important for players and for all peoples working on a game. Thanks to them to give us the opportunity to play something made with passion.
The HBO show was my late aunt's favorite show before she lost her battle to breast cancer. She gave me part I and part II as birthday gifts; now they're my favorite game. Season 2 is gonna be extra bittersweet for me.
As a game design student, the transparency on show here is so refreshing and genuine. Captivated by every second, thank you to everyone responsible for finally finishing this documentary
i don’t think i ever realized just how traumatizing the leaks and the crunch was for the game. it broke my heart just a little bit to hear about the hate and the death threats they received working on the game. thank you guys for the hard work and dedication for the sake of taking the fans on an impactful journey. i appreciate you all ❤️
@@Sainte305death threats are never warranted, no matter how much you dislike a creator or their creation. I ain’t even big on this game, but I’m not gonna wish death on anybody because of that. Psychopathic thought process you’ve got there lol
It broke my heart to hear them say that, but I also refused to watch any of the leaked videos because I was so dead, set on playing it with fresh eyes. I thought part one was my all-time favorite game, and then part two came along and boom. The whole story of the last of us is my all-time favorite game. @Naughtydog please don’t stop building beautiful games with incredible stories because that is what many games are missing these days…the incredible story behind it.
I love the point haily made that these horrible ragebait articles are ruining actual discourse around sexism in gaming. that same article also off-handingly reffrenced the detroit become human trailer where they show a early game senario where your trying to save a daughter from their abusive father. That scene is obviosly not sexist, its just a depection of a brutal thing that often happens in reality, but the article fails to mention the director of that game, david cage, who absolutley is a misojynist, since in his previous game he got the team to created a fully nude and detailed model of eliot page (at the time ellen page, they transitioned) despite that specifically being against their contract.
I was an avid Xbox player but bought a PS5 on black Friday last year. I've just finished playing through both TLOU1 & 2 and WOW, just incredible. The story telling & gameplay both exceptional. Hats off to the creators at Naughty Dog who worked on these titles. Thank you
@@TheGamersGrotto No they didnt. nothing about this sentence functions as double entendre because that's not what that term means. Double entendre is when a single statement carries two (sometimes opposing) implications depending on how the sentence is approached. What actually happened here is that the OP typed a word according to how they've heard it spoken, which is a really common occurrence on the internet these days, probably because of modern illiteracy rates and the rise of podcasts/youtube. A decent example is how you sometimes see people write 'piqued' as 'peaked', or 'should-of' instead of 'should have'. I've seen a person write 'esque' as 'esk'. 'Debree' is another one. 'Milk toast'. 'All intensive purposes'. I understand it sounds insulting or elitist to point these things out, but I think everybody should be concerned with how people's writing ability is diminishing in a world in which we read little beyond government letters and internet posts. It being a social faux pas to correct people for these sorts of language failures (i.e., your comment to me), means that the vast majority of people who write incorrectly are wholly content in doing so and feel no personal issue with it, which carries bleak implications also the term you're looking for is homophone, not double entendre
When the leaks came out I was devastated. I didn't go on the internet for almost a month and avoided everything TLOU not to see the leaks. I heard the bad stuff but didn't want to see anything. I made my own opinion and the experience the game gave me still resonates with me to this day. I thought I knew what the creators were going through but that was nowhere near close. My heart aches for you all and how much it must have been hard to keep going on. Unbelievable... Thank you for everything you're doing!
My sister came over to my place to play TLOU2, back when it came out, every day after work. She was too scared to play through the game herself, and so playing through it together, passing the controller between the two of us, became one of my favorite moments with videogames in decades.
You played The Last of Us Part II: It Takes Two of Us Seriously though, I wish I'd gotten to experience the game with a loved one like that. So immensely special. Thank you for sharing - that brought a smile to my face 🥰
We did this my husband and I 😅 definately amazing to arrive home from work and tell each other "let's kill some zombies?"...when we finished the game we were both grieving the story so much!
That would have been amazing. I didn’t have anyone to do that with, or talk to about playing when all the shit was happening. Was such an experience, I knew it was awesome too at the time but it was getting so much bad press I was wondering if I was even playing the same game. Cool you and sis had that shared experience though. Magic.
will never forget how physically and emotionally drained and tired i was when i finished part 2 and never thought it was even possible to feel like you have worked for 30 hours of hard labor just by playing a game. thank you from the bottom of my heart
Here's a better storyline. Joel gets rectal cancer after TLoU 1. After much hesitation, he seeks contact with the Firefly healthcare system who are the only ones powerful enough to potentially help him. There he learns that the surgeon he killed (Abby's dad) was the only one who could have potentially helped him. Knowing he is dying with no one who can help him, he moves in with Frank and Billy, getting hammered drunk most of the time and watching whatever soap operas he can find on DVD until he meets his inevitable demise. Billy plays "Funeral of Queen Mary" on the piano while they mourn him. Meanwhile, Ellie remains in Jacksonville and gets depressed about Joel's condition and death. Abby arrives, looking to get revenge for her father, but open learning that Joel is already dead, she and her crew builds a Disc Golf course in Jacksonville instead and challenge Ellie on a skins game disc golf match. The end.
thankyou for this game. despite the leaks and all the hate i stood by you guys since day 1. thankyou for sticking with it, i have never experienced a story quite so well developed, written, and executed. i cant think of a single thing that matches it in my opinion. thankyou for this game
The Last of Us entered the TOP 3 best solo story games of all time with Red Dead Redemption 2 & Days Gone. Highly recommend both. Edit: Horizon Zero Dawn is also up there. Shout out Aloy, i would love to see Aloy vs Abby vs Ellie & see who comes out alive.
The internet is such a cruel place. It is really frightening.. I am playing TLOU2 for the 4th time now - the remastered version. Thank you all for this awesome experience ❤️ much love
I stopped playing video games a while back. Like many others, I watched the show and was immediately immersed in the story. I was fortunate enough to come across a console to play both games. Yesterday I finished part 2 and I gotta say it’s lived up to all the hype. It’s a sad story told in a beautiful way. After watching this I found a deeper level of respect and appreciation to the team who brought this together. Thank you all for your passion and dedication!
I cried multiple times watching this documentary. All I can say is that it was heartbreaking, honest and brutal. Thanks for putting this out. It gave me so much to see this. To see what the team went through. Especially as someone who has no clue in how a game is made in the first place. So again: Thanks!
@@population-_-420 I think they'll nail it with Craig Mazin. They at least have the experience of seeing their vision and the reactions they manifested to learn from, plus the bonus of creating the same feelings in film rather than video game, so I'm optimistic if the first season is anything to show for it. Unless you mean different as in Joel not dying then I have some bad news for ya lol
The guy chewing the bloody rag is a fkn legend. Also Troy Baker saying he don't know if he has the chops was hilarious bro you are literally amongst the greats in voice acting video game history
This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. It's an incredible glimpse behind the scenes that hopefully reminds us that there're actual people working their asses off to bring us these amazing experiences. I will never forget this game. Thanks Dogs.
This game has to be the most unforgettable game to ever exist. This game has changed my life & every time I play, I get more and more emotional each time. You are Genius Naughty Dog, Thankyou for making such an amazing story for us to experience 👏🏼❤️
Wow, he's pretty old to just now learn how to get over being angry at someone, and the comparison of anger over revenge for your good friend being tortured vs. a digital issue, is ridiculous to say the least.
@@seanbennett3452 what do you expect from tlou2 fanboys? alot of the dudes actually think this game's story is well written and deep...which i find hilarious tbh.
I’m so glad you guys discussed the show. I’ve been a fan of the series since the first game when I was 15 and I got to work on the show as a visual effects artist. The show got me my first Emmy! It means so much to me to have been a part of a last of us project. I know he’ll never see this but thanks so much Neil and the rest of the naughty dog team!
These games mean so much to me, and I cannot even imagine what it must feel like for all those hard-working people who worked on even a fraction of the game. The two games (and DLC), and the two behind the scenes videos inspires me to be in a setting like this, to work on something as incredible as these projects; collabroating in a team to make a story that people will love. Thank you so much for showing all these behind-the-scenes. Much love and can't wait to see what lies ahead.
My heart was breaking hearing from Laura baily how she was treated. I knew it when it happened but seeing her tear up just broke me. You're are loved Laura don't forget it
That upset me too. Laura Bailey is such a sweet and incredibly talented person and the way she was treated for doing her JOB is beyond inhuman. Everyone who sent her abuse and death threats should be ashamed to their very core.
You feel bad for an actor? People hated her character because Abby was stupidly annoying she should have known fans wouldn’t not agree with her character and anyone that likes Abby is just saying they.
@@Nintythreezeros So that excuses sending hate and death treaths to someone AND HER SON just because of the job she was hired to do and did brilliantly? Wow, you sure are a good human being.
The whole time I was thinking “wow, these naughty dog employees are really dedicated” and “they’re working so hard” and “damn, how many hours a week are they putting in?” and “hmm… they have to have catered dinners because they’re staying so late?” so seeing them recognize and address the work/life balance problems is great!!! I really hope things are better now. Work is important but we are all human beings first
Same with "Raising Kratos", the God of War doc where basically new parents were mentionning missing life chunks of their kids growing up during production. The games will stay but those moments are gone. That's effed up.
It's a hard subject. Yes, work/life balance is important, but also, people should be free to dedicate 100% of their time to people and a project they feel passionately about. There are people who love the challenge and feel unrivaled pride in their work when it's finished. I think, legally, this should only be allowed if the people doing this have sufficient rev share from the final product. I'm all for the game industry being unionized, but if a bunch of devs who are also shareholders want to sleep under their desks because they're busy making their life's work, I want to make sure they always can.
Crunch should not be an industry standard. I've seen too many games where developers have to put in ungodly hours to finish these games, and art shouldn't be made like that. RDR 1 & 2, Uncharted 4, TLOU 2, Cyberpunk 2077, New Vegas, and so many more. And those are just the ones that actually managed to turn out pretty well despite what the people who made it went through.
Actually he's severely under-hated. Most people aren't even aware that he fired people for being the victims of his best friend who's prowl Naughty Dog offices grabbing people by the chest and groin. Coincidentally that's *directly* the reason why there's no Factions 2 or MP component to Naughty Dog games post Uncharted 4.
to everyone who worked to make it accessible, thank you so much. Im visually impaired & hard of hearing. I didn't think i could play games like i used to. But this felt easy to navigate and a challenge at the same time. I hope you see this and know that you made a difference to at least one gamers experience.
@@Alatsno It already is. TLOU1 and 2 are fully blind accessible. You can hear one of the consultants, Brandon Cole, talking about the audio features in the game.
unfortunately, I couldn't get away from the major spoiler in the beginning, so that took just a little bit from the story. But beyond that, I went in blind and enjoyed the story for what it was. I still wish the chapters were structured differently with Abby first in order to get attached to her and her crew, before killing Joel. Nonetheless, gut wrenching story and looking forward to the S02 of the show and see how they approach it.
I hadn’t played the first game when the second came out so I wasn’t really taking it in. When I got around to playing both in about a month I knew nothing, especially the second game. I only suspected some things but it was still fresh.
I was SO CLOSE. I stayed off all social medias and even the internet as a whole for months. I didn't even see any trailers, apart from the 2016 teaser. And then, like two weeks before the game was out, my brother casually mentioned in the car "and then of course there are the leaks that Joel dies-" I was absolutely livid. He felt so bad. Didn't ruin the experience though, but I just wish I hadn't known that beforehand. Even recounting this, I felt a little lingering spite deep down that I didn't know I still had.
this documentary really made me appreciate this game on an even deeper level and reminds me how special of a studio ND is. they just keep pushing technical and narrative boundaries in gaming and creating special unique games that really stick with you. let’s not even forget about the ND polish!
1:47:50 “Just let it go” that’s a larger than life moment, for a game about revenge. The leaks took such a mental, and emotional toll on naughty dog, and for them to respond like that makes me shed a tear.
@@nicknickname353 I'm proud of them for staying strong through all this, but yeah. It doesn't matter how much the game's message meant to me. If someone did that to my team, caused all those threats aimed at people and all the trauma and harassment and attacks? The leaker would never see the fucking light of day. Every possible criminal charge lmao
Where's my friend Gustavo?? Not even a word of the great music that the game has.. Best game ever... thank you Naughty dog.. the first walkthrough is unforgettable.
Gustavo literally has captured the mood of these games so well, he deserves all of the praise and I agree there should have been some mention of him in this. I have a playlist of part 1 and 2 tracks together and they are absolutely legendary.
What a game, what a developer team. Nothing but flowers for everyone there. Shed a tear every time thinking about this game, what a complete masterpiece. Much love to all of NaughtyDog esp Neil and Gross.
You know the performances and acting are immaculate when you’re just as riveted watching the actors in MOCAP suits perform the scene as you are watching the final product, especially the death scene.
100%, watch how all those fake-pundit volume-oriented websites like gamesradar/gamerant/ign etc mine this video over the next couple of weeks and take single sentence statements to blow entire articles out of to generate clickbait, while ignoring all the nuances actually targeted at them
I managed to stay spoiler free somehow not only during those negative bs times but for years after. I didnt get the chance to play until I finally got a PS5 for my son for xmas 2022. It is AMAZING. Its the BEST story period. From all entertainment mediums.
What an incredible doc for an incredible game and show. So many emotional spots throughout the doc, but Ashley's emotions for being cast as Ellie's mother really got me
@MotorCityPhoenix313 yea but when your story is hot garbage and left millions of gamers pissed annoyed confused and over all dissatisfied then all that really dosent matter
1:06:50 Great to see how that works. The animations in TLOU2 were really beyond everything I’ve ever seen in a videogame before. Even when Ellie is picking something up, she naturally reaches in the exact direction of the item, and the movements switch perfectly while she is moving. Even if you think some players will never notice, be sure there are a lot who will! Thank you for so much attention to detail.
For years I have been telling my wife how great video games are and how great The Last of Us games are, last year she watched the HBO show and that was it.. she's now beaten both games more than once and has since played both God of Wars, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart and several others. This story is so captivating and shows what a videogame can be and what story telling can be. Bravo Naughty Dog.
I started from my brother (who has passed now) and I watching this show and him showing me the game and me learning to play and that story just resonates with you and you wouldn’t think moving a character around and making decisions would become such an emotional roller coaster but it truly does.
cried twice watching this. to have a team care so deeply about a video game for their audience despite the adversity faced is quite inspiring and admirable. will always be a fan.
@@yutro213 not everybody obsesses over trying not to cry at things. Those who are emotionally mature may find it easy to be brought to tears(not necessarily sobbing, but tears) by something they find beautiful or inspiring. Your comment was needlessly condescending, rude, and unfounded.
This is literally and unironically the best making off, it shows just the same amount of details as you all at the studio contributed to this incredibly beautiful expressed game. Thank you guys so much for making the best games out there and each time brining it all up to a next level. Don’t feel pressured because we all know what ever comes next will be great!!! 😊
There's a lot of outright lies in this video. The real production of TLOU2 was a The Room-esque disaster offset by heavy Sony funding. That inherently disqualifies it from even *being* a Making Of.
The main thing from watching this that maybe I didn't fully appreciate when i played the game, is just how impressive the animation is. Like it was clearly amazing, but really focusing on it makes you appreciate just how amazing it is.
I had so many emotions during this documentary, from happiness, sadness to get angry and upset that is difficult to process, and thinking a bit…this game brings you all these feelings…is incredible What a great time to live all this, this game, the HBO show and this documentary…I’m feeling grateful.
I dunno man. Druckmann saying Joels body was horrifically mutilated and they wanted to paint abby as a monster even more plus Ellie not actually witnessing it makes me think that version could have been even more interesting. Escpecially as they said ellie kills abby only to learn they are the exaxt same, barring ellies horrific body count to get there.
Just finished Part 2. Incredible. Well done. The series is one of the best fictional stories I've experienced on any medium. And this doc is so enlightening and fascinating. Thanks for making it. Really helps those of us not in the industry understand everything that goes into these stories.
I almost cried again, when I saw Laura Bailey crying because of all the bullying. This shit needs to stop. Fuck, I honestly don't have anything to say that hasn't been said already. Naughty Dog, Mr. Druckman, sir.... Thank you so much for existing. I'm blessed to have lived in these times.
Hate breeds hate an it's clear the hateful parts of Neil's personal politics played a part in the story..an you can't control people's response to that
The irony is, the people who are doing the bullying are in the same headspace Ellie is meant to be in during most the story. The irony of that to me is incredible if im being honest. Even more as i can admit to being an abby metaphorically nowadays or even a renewed Joel.
Fantastic insight into the industry and countless hours of hard work that goes into a project of this caliber. Kudos to the team for bringing us this masterpiece while battling leaks, a pandemic, and all of the other challenges along the way. Well done.
The moment he says "There's probably another chapter to this story" I literally threw my arms in the air with an audible "YESSS!" 🙌🏼 No matter how long it takes, I hope I can live enough to play it.
I will never forget the time I played TLOU2; it was in the midst of the pandemic, and I was definitely locked at home, going out very little. When I did go out, the entire city was empty, walking through the streets and not finding anyone. Then I would come home and play TLOU2, where I could feel the sensation of isolation much more closely when roaming through the streets of Seattle. These feelings were incredible, and until then, I had never experienced anything like it! This game is surreal.
@@recca7 I believe it is also the reason why it is still so divided. The mental toll of the pandemic taking loved ones + Joel dying in game can fk people up. Some people wanted to play video games to avoid reality but TLOU2 kind of forced it down to them but way harder. I can see why people still hate it, I mean look at the guy above me lol
@@elijahpelito4722you people who ride this game to death swear the only criticism people have his Joels death, the writing contradicts itself over and over lmao
I think this game series is the best to ever exist. Part 1 and 2 are masterpieces. I can’t wait for Part 3 of it comes. I feel like I learned so much about myself playing these games. Part 2 helped me deal with my anger after losing a friend. I thank Naughty Dog for helping me wrestle with some really hard emotions and I came out of that period on my life a stronger person partly because of these games.
Cannot wait to delve into what it took and what it took out of the creators to make this masterpiece of a game. Honestly one of the greatest stories told for me personally.
I hate that you have to say “for me personally” so these weirdo incels won’t attack you. I think it’s pretty much objectively one of the best games ever made
seeing Laura cry like that.. seriously these people out there even if you happened to hate the plot of a video game story you shouldn't just go around and threaten to kill the actress who played the role that killed your favourite character and also threaten to kill her baby. Thats so messed up ,what the hell are these people thinking . just shocking
exactly, after all they are just making a game, GAME, people should know where to stop and do not threat anyone just because of their own opinion on something what they do not like
I didn't like what they did to Joel honestly, but nothing justifies threatening to kill an ACTUAL PERSON and their child. These people are unhinged and best forgotten.
Who are you preaching to? The insane weirdos that do stuff like that? They're not going anywhere and they're not changing either. When a fanbase gets large enough, the small percentage of crazy's become's an unfortunately large number of crazy's. It happens every time. They won't change because you tell them it's bad to be mean.
@@spartan1879 i am not commanding or judging anyone to change its their choice whether they change or not. whatever i say wont mean a thing to them i know, but i can express my opinion regarding this matter.
This was a lovely story / documentary. It really makes one feel how dedicated these people are to their craft. I firmly believe, we as gamers, are extremely fortunate to have such dedicated people pushing the boundaries of crafting, creating and publishing content / games / television, etc. And for the love that Neil Druckmann has for being the faith behind The LOU series, not to mention all the players who make it happen. It feels almost impossible. What a legacy! What an achievement!
The fact that Laura and Ashley and Troy had each other to get through the death threats is truly amazing. game was grreat and such wonderful performances.
This documentary made me fall in love with the game even more. Seeing how dedicated the team was from beginning to end, and went through all the hardships to deliver the most riveting story is insane. Naughty Dog never stop creating games please.
Me every time I see the trailers leading up to release. I've watched them all too many times to count but they still get me whenever I see them again 😆
The first time I watched this, I cried multitudes of times. I haven’t gone back and played this game since it released due to the emotional toll it both created and alleviated in my life at that time. It is still my favorite gaming experience of all time. Literal tears of joy leaked from my eyes when he said there’s probably one more chapter to this story. I feel it could be left alone, but I trust this team on all levels and it’s a privilege to partake in this journey alongside them.
I don't know if this is something that could work for you, but I'm kind of in the same boat. I can't play these games again, even though they're probably (TLOU and TLOU2) both in my Top 5 of all time, from the HUNDREDS I've played. But what I love doing is watching other people experiencing these games for the first time (playthroughs). If you do however, I suggest looking for playthroughs in the past ~2 years, as the first year was riddled with people who were only playing it for views and didn't really care about the story, making the experience much less enjoyable Watching these give me these same feelings again, without having to play them again. It's a win-win :D
Great reminder of what we go through as Game Developers to turn our ideas into reality. Love that you share the struggle of what it was like to work on this massive game. Even if we only got to see a fraction, it makes me excited to see what you guys will produce in the future.
Almost 12 years ago now I was at a friend's house who's brother was playing uncharted 2, my eyes were glued and I couldn't believe what I was seeing, the only games I played were Wii sports or Mario kart. That Christmas I begged my parents for a PS3 with uncharted, and thanks to my kind parents I beat uncharted 1 and 2 that Christmas day/night. Your games are the reason I fell in love with games, they showed me the power of art, you have inspired me to tell stories of my own as I work to get a degree in filmmaking/screen writing and embark on my journey to make people feel the way you made me feel as an 8 year old hiding down stairs playing uncharted 2. I've suffered waiting for each one of your games since haha. I always manage to have butterfly's as I finally put in that new disc and see the new naughty dog game pop on my screen because I know I'm about to experience something I never have before. You've managed to raise the bar each game you make and somehow you keep beating the bar you have made. Thankyou to all the hard working people at naughty dog, you've changed and inspired me. THANKYOU.
I figure this will probably never reach the team, but both these games are such landmarks in my life. I will never forget the incredible, raw and powerful emotions I felt playing through the first game, and then the second 7 years later. I am just grateful for the ride so far, and hopeful I will get to feel those intense feelings once more. Thank you everyone, from the bottom of my heart. ❤

It’s a pity that they didn’t say anything about creating music for the game, because for me this is the best audio accompaniment in the entire gaming industry. And every single melody from Gustavo is a masterpiece that fits perfectly with this story.
My most listened to album by far (8000+ minutes). I've listened to Allowed to Be Happy over 600 times I think.
Ugh, as someone really into the music of these games and a driving factor into what I wanted for at least a bit of this documentary I'm upset they didn't give Gustavo and the music department more attention
@@crimsoncraftycat4044 I haven't watched it yet but so sad 😢I would watch a 2 hour doc just on the making of the soundtrack alone
@enochtai as someone who makes music and would love to do work for videogames at some stage, I'd love to see it SO much.
they give focus to the music in the first documentary if you haven't seen it
The guy chewing on a bloody rag was pretty wild but the dedication is top notch
It looks weird from an outside perspective for sure but it’s absolutely necessary for the artists. You need someone who is willing to do wild stuff like this haha
thats how film, tv or video game production process do be like that, they find the weird and alternative that works the best

I know, just because she killed Joel. Doesn't mean you should send her and her son death threats. And I honestly thought Abby was a good character, I was a little mad that Joel died but I wouldn't go as far as threatening Laura. People are ruthless 🤬!
Playing the first game with my dad was such an experience. When part 2 came out, my dad was going blind. So, I would be explaining to him what was going on. Him hearing Joel die and him telling me to do something and me telling him that I can’t and just accepting that he was dead was hard. My dad died a year later. But, we talked about if there was going to be a part 3. And we would come up with ideas of what would that be like. I hope there’s another part. I just would’ve loved that my dad was still here to play it with me.
w story, rip to your dad
R.I.P Dad, that was an amazing story. I can't imagine what you'll feel when Part 3 comes to light. Hopefully he'll be sitting next to you, watching you play what possibly is the conclusion of the story
dude… 🥹
RIP to your father man thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing this touching story, rest easy to your dad 🙏🏽
That guy who was worried about being able to crack an overcast look for the game? Man, he absolutely nailed it in the end. The most beautifully damp looking game I ever played.
I felt as though I could smell the earthiness and dankness - you don't get this feeling with other games......
i find ellie's day 2 to be pretty comfy, despite everything.
I felt uncomfortably damp during certain sections of the game despite being perfectly dry. I've been caught in downpours and felt like I was reliving how cold, wet and gross it feels as Ellie got soaked.
Omg I’m so glad other people feel this as well!! So fresh
Ashley's performance during Joel's death is fucking amazing.
Also, Troy saying "He wasn't missing," was perfect hahaha.
Literally a Joel Miller dad joke lmao. Love him.
ok girl...
Ashley's acting in this entire game is honestly INSANE.
The industry need more documentary like this one. This teach all players what is the really about making a game and sometimes the consequences. That’s very important for players and for all peoples working on a game. Thanks to them to give us the opportunity to play something made with passion.
I agree and will add, it also gives people interested in diving into the industry what its like and takes to make a AAA title
Wish there was a Red Dead Redemption 2 Documentary. Would’ve loved to see more behind the scenes.
I would love to watch docs like this for every one of my favorite games. Other studios, get on it!
@@kenneth465 Unfortunately Rockstar does not like being very open. The leadership at Rockstar likes to keep an air of mystique surrounding the company
Wish there was a documentary on how RDR2 was made
Watching Ashley cry talking about being Ellie's mother in the show was heart-wrenching.
Ashley Johnson seems pretty cool. Understatement I know
It was more heart wrenching to see Laura cry talking about strangers threatening her newborn son.
She has really created Ellie actually. Its so poetic how they decided to make Ashly, Ellie's mom
time?
The HBO show was my late aunt's favorite show before she lost her battle to breast cancer. She gave me part I and part II as birthday gifts; now they're my favorite game. Season 2 is gonna be extra bittersweet for me.
I'm sorry for your loss & yeah excited for 2nd season
As a game design student, the transparency on show here is so refreshing and genuine. Captivated by every second, thank you to everyone responsible for finally finishing this documentary
I was thinking about going for video game design/development how is it??
i don’t think i ever realized just how traumatizing the leaks and the crunch was for the game. it broke my heart just a little bit to hear about the hate and the death threats they received working on the game. thank you guys for the hard work and dedication for the sake of taking the fans on an impactful journey. i appreciate you all ❤️
It was all deserved and more.
@@Sainte305it wasn’t, you just need to grow tf up
@@Sainte305death threats are never warranted, no matter how much you dislike a creator or their creation. I ain’t even big on this game, but I’m not gonna wish death on anybody because of that. Psychopathic thought process you’ve got there lol
It broke my heart to hear them say that, but I also refused to watch any of the leaked videos because I was so dead, set on playing it with fresh eyes. I thought part one was my all-time favorite game, and then part two came along and boom. The whole story of the last of us is my all-time favorite game. @Naughtydog please don’t stop building beautiful games with incredible stories because that is what many games are missing these days…the incredible story behind it.

Polygon getting roasted for their idiotic article was a highlight for sure.

@@sirrysaround 43 minutes
I never went back to Polygon after that review. Truly unbelievable.
The best. Halley Gross' rant was *chef's kiss*
I love the point haily made that these horrible ragebait articles are ruining actual discourse around sexism in gaming. that same article also off-handingly reffrenced the detroit become human trailer where they show a early game senario where your trying to save a daughter from their abusive father. That scene is obviosly not sexist, its just a depection of a brutal thing that often happens in reality, but the article fails to mention the director of that game, david cage, who absolutley is a misojynist, since in his previous game he got the team to created a fully nude and detailed model of eliot page (at the time ellen page, they transitioned) despite that specifically being against their contract.
Much respect for adding all the accessibility options as well. This game raised the bar on all levels.
I was an avid Xbox player but bought a PS5 on black Friday last year. I've just finished playing through both TLOU1 & 2 and WOW, just incredible. The story telling & gameplay both exceptional. Hats off to the creators at Naughty Dog who worked on these titles. Thank you
The audio guys done an amazing job because I can't stop breaking car and shop windows. That glass break gets me every time
So satisfying

Neil: You should bulk for this roll
Laura: *gets pregnant*
Neil: well I guess I wasn't specific, fair enough.
It's role.
Bwahaha. Love the double entendre with "roll".
Which is your fav, Vox Machina or Mighty Nein?
Lmaoo
@@user-nu9so2ki6w The hell are you!?! The Microsoft paperclip!?!.. We know the correct spelling of "role".. They used it as a double entendre..
@@TheGamersGrotto No they didnt. nothing about this sentence functions as double entendre because that's not what that term means. Double entendre is when a single statement carries two (sometimes opposing) implications depending on how the sentence is approached. What actually happened here is that the OP typed a word according to how they've heard it spoken, which is a really common occurrence on the internet these days, probably because of modern illiteracy rates and the rise of podcasts/youtube. A decent example is how you sometimes see people write 'piqued' as 'peaked', or 'should-of' instead of 'should have'. I've seen a person write 'esque' as 'esk'. 'Debree' is another one. 'Milk toast'. 'All intensive purposes'.
I understand it sounds insulting or elitist to point these things out, but I think everybody should be concerned with how people's writing ability is diminishing in a world in which we read little beyond government letters and internet posts. It being a social faux pas to correct people for these sorts of language failures (i.e., your comment to me), means that the vast majority of people who write incorrectly are wholly content in doing so and feel no personal issue with it, which carries bleak implications
also the term you're looking for is homophone, not double entendre
That guy who makes the sounds of the clickers gave me gooseboomps
When the leaks came out I was devastated. I didn't go on the internet for almost a month and avoided everything TLOU not to see the leaks. I heard the bad stuff but didn't want to see anything. I made my own opinion and the experience the game gave me still resonates with me to this day. I thought I knew what the creators were going through but that was nowhere near close. My heart aches for you all and how much it must have been hard to keep going on. Unbelievable... Thank you for everything you're doing!

My sister came over to my place to play TLOU2, back when it came out, every day after work.
She was too scared to play through the game herself, and so playing through it together, passing the controller between the two of us, became one of my favorite moments with videogames in decades.
That's so wholesome ❤ some of my favorite memories with my older sister was playing stuff in that way
You played The Last of Us Part II: It Takes Two of Us
Seriously though, I wish I'd gotten to experience the game with a loved one like that. So immensely special. Thank you for sharing - that brought a smile to my face 🥰
We did this my husband and I 😅 definately amazing to arrive home from work and tell each other "let's kill some zombies?"...when we finished the game we were both grieving the story so much!
That would have been amazing. I didn’t have anyone to do that with, or talk to about playing when all the shit was happening. Was such an experience, I knew it was awesome too at the time but it was getting so much bad press I was wondering if I was even playing the same game.
Cool you and sis had that shared experience though. Magic.
will never forget how physically and emotionally drained and tired i was when i finished part 2 and never thought it was even possible to feel like you have worked for 30 hours of hard labor just by playing a game.
thank you from the bottom of my heart
Here's a better storyline. Joel gets rectal cancer after TLoU 1. After much hesitation, he seeks contact with the Firefly healthcare system who are the only ones powerful enough to potentially help him. There he learns that the surgeon he killed (Abby's dad) was the only one who could have potentially helped him. Knowing he is dying with no one who can help him, he moves in with Frank and Billy, getting hammered drunk most of the time and watching whatever soap operas he can find on DVD until he meets his inevitable demise. Billy plays "Funeral of Queen Mary" on the piano while they mourn him.
Meanwhile, Ellie remains in Jacksonville and gets depressed about Joel's condition and death. Abby arrives, looking to get revenge for her father, but open learning that Joel is already dead, she and her crew builds a Disc Golf course in Jacksonville instead and challenge Ellie on a skins game disc golf match. The end.

@@nathaann8790 yeah red dead 2 is so fucking good too. I’d agree they feel pretty at level
This, Red Dead Redemption 2 and God of War Ragnarok are the three best story-based games of all time in my opinion.

agreed
You must be smoking something if you think this game is executed and well developed, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion 🤷♂️
The internet is such a cruel place. It is really frightening..
I am playing TLOU2 for the 4th time now - the remastered version. Thank you all for this awesome experience ❤️ much love
Damn watching the actors during the Joel scene was brutal. The emotion they all had was eye opening.
I cried when his daughter died scene and when I saw Laura crying. It was powerful

I stopped playing video games a while back. Like many others, I watched the show and was immediately immersed in the story. I was fortunate enough to come across a console to play both games. Yesterday I finished part 2 and I gotta say it’s lived up to all the hype. It’s a sad story told in a beautiful way. After watching this I found a deeper level of respect and appreciation to the team who brought this together. Thank you all for your passion and dedication!
I cried multiple times watching this documentary. All I can say is that it was heartbreaking, honest and brutal. Thanks for putting this out. It gave me so much to see this. To see what the team went through. Especially as someone who has no clue in how a game is made in the first place. So again: Thanks!
Such a good documentary. Loved hearing the creative process
Looking forward to hear any thoughts from you in any future video!
It's really interesting, their animation team is second to none in my opinion
Hoping HBO max season two plays different 😭
@@population-_-420 I think they'll nail it with Craig Mazin. They at least have the experience of seeing their vision and the reactions they manifested to learn from, plus the bonus of creating the same feelings in film rather than video game, so I'm optimistic if the first season is anything to show for it. Unless you mean different as in Joel not dying then I have some bad news for ya lol
Love how they are so proud killing one of my favorite video game protags and made me play some bimbo with extreme plot armor
The guy chewing the bloody rag is a fkn legend. Also Troy Baker saying he don't know if he has the chops was hilarious bro you are literally amongst the greats in voice acting video game history
Laura Bailey and Troy baker are the king and queens of voice acting
😂
He's an actor not a voice actor. They're on set not in a vocal booth.
Sorry guy, but Troy Baker is a VOICE actor, and a man of many talents.
Both technically. He started out in voice acting but alot of games use motion capture these days which requires serious acting. @@Redeemer8916
This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen.
It's an incredible glimpse behind the scenes that hopefully reminds us that there're actual people working their asses off to bring us these amazing experiences.
I will never forget this game.
Thanks Dogs.
This game has to be the most unforgettable game to ever exist. This game has changed my life & every time I play, I get more and more emotional each time. You are Genius Naughty Dog, Thankyou for making such an amazing story for us to experience 👏🏼❤️
laura bailey is a beast, having tears streaming down your face while still acting for facial capture and not breaking the scene, just wow
The fact that this game taught Neil its own lesson to get over his anger at the person who leaked everything is too perfect.
made me get choked up a bit haha
Absolutely, that was awesome
Wow, he's pretty old to just now learn how to get over being angry at someone, and the comparison of anger over revenge for your good friend being tortured vs. a digital issue, is ridiculous to say the least.
@@seanbennett3452the bestest of the best: the good friend Joel
@@seanbennett3452 what do you expect from tlou2 fanboys? alot of the dudes actually think this game's story is well written and deep...which i find hilarious tbh.
I’m so glad you guys discussed the show. I’ve been a fan of the series since the first game when I was 15 and I got to work on the show as a visual effects artist. The show got me my first Emmy! It means so much to me to have been a part of a last of us project. I know he’ll never see this but thanks so much Neil and the rest of the naughty dog team!
These games mean so much to me, and I cannot even imagine what it must feel like for all those hard-working people who worked on even a fraction of the game. The two games (and DLC), and the two behind the scenes videos inspires me to be in a setting like this, to work on something as incredible as these projects; collabroating in a team to make a story that people will love.
Thank you so much for showing all these behind-the-scenes. Much love and can't wait to see what lies ahead.
My heart was breaking hearing from Laura baily how she was treated. I knew it when it happened but seeing her tear up just broke me. You're are loved Laura don't forget it
That upset me too. Laura Bailey is such a sweet and incredibly talented person and the way she was treated for doing her JOB is beyond inhuman. Everyone who sent her abuse and death threats should be ashamed to their very core.
You feel bad for an actor? People hated her character because Abby was stupidly annoying she should have known fans wouldn’t not agree with her character and anyone that likes Abby is just saying they.
@@Nintythreezeros So that excuses sending hate and death treaths to someone AND HER SON just because of the job she was hired to do and did brilliantly? Wow, you sure are a good human being.
@@Nintythreezeros I see you don't understand what I meant and tried to explain what I meant to everyone else. very smart.
@@Nintythreezerosgo get a hobby man 😭
The whole time I was thinking “wow, these naughty dog employees are really dedicated” and “they’re working so hard” and “damn, how many hours a week are they putting in?” and “hmm… they have to have catered dinners because they’re staying so late?” so seeing them recognize and address the work/life balance problems is great!!! I really hope things are better now. Work is important but we are all human beings first
Same with "Raising Kratos", the God of War doc where basically new parents were mentionning missing life chunks of their kids growing up during production.
The games will stay but those moments are gone. That's effed up.
It's a hard subject. Yes, work/life balance is important, but also, people should be free to dedicate 100% of their time to people and a project they feel passionately about. There are people who love the challenge and feel unrivaled pride in their work when it's finished.
I think, legally, this should only be allowed if the people doing this have sufficient rev share from the final product. I'm all for the game industry being unionized, but if a bunch of devs who are also shareholders want to sleep under their desks because they're busy making their life's work, I want to make sure they always can.
They blurred the faces out of the staff who worked on the OG in a more recent vid. :/
Crunch should not be an industry standard. I've seen too many games where developers have to put in ungodly hours to finish these games, and art shouldn't be made like that. RDR 1 & 2, Uncharted 4, TLOU 2, Cyberpunk 2077, New Vegas, and so many more. And those are just the ones that actually managed to turn out pretty well despite what the people who made it went through.
U can tell they are all thinkin…. Wow … cant believe i’ll be doing crunch hours for such a dog shit script
Thank you so much for pulling through and making this unforgetable experience. I literally owe you my life.
Neil doesn't deserve the hate he is getting man .. can't wait to see his next game before Pt III !!
Actually he's severely under-hated.
Most people aren't even aware that he fired people for being the victims of his best friend who's prowl Naughty Dog offices grabbing people by the chest and groin.
Coincidentally that's *directly* the reason why there's no Factions 2 or MP component to Naughty Dog games post Uncharted 4.
@@crazyinsane500Bruce Straley should have became Naughty Dog president
to everyone who worked to make it accessible, thank you so much. Im visually impaired & hard of hearing. I didn't think i could play games like i used to.

When I was looking through the settings I was "they got everyone covered" I wonder if it'd be possible for a fully blind person to play the game?
Absolutely. More game studios should follow their example.
@@Alatsno It already is. TLOU1 and 2 are fully blind accessible. You can hear one of the consultants, Brandon Cole, talking about the audio features in the game.
I’m so glad I never saw any leaks of the game and was able to experience the game without any spoilers.
unfortunately, I couldn't get away from the major spoiler in the beginning, so that took just a little bit from the story. But beyond that, I went in blind and enjoyed the story for what it was. I still wish the chapters were structured differently with Abby first in order to get attached to her and her crew, before killing Joel. Nonetheless, gut wrenching story and looking forward to the S02 of the show and see how they approach it.
I hadn’t played the first game when the second came out so I wasn’t really taking it in. When I got around to playing both in about a month I knew nothing, especially the second game. I only suspected some things but it was still fresh.
¡Me too! It worked 100% to me as they intended
Same. I knew there were big spoilers out and I basically left the internet lol
I was SO CLOSE. I stayed off all social medias and even the internet as a whole for months. I didn't even see any trailers, apart from the 2016 teaser.
And then, like two weeks before the game was out, my brother casually mentioned in the car "and then of course there are the leaks that Joel dies-"
I was absolutely livid. He felt so bad. Didn't ruin the experience though, but I just wish I hadn't known that beforehand.
Even recounting this, I felt a little lingering spite deep down that I didn't know I still had.
this documentary really made me appreciate this game on an even deeper level and reminds me how special of a studio ND is. they just keep pushing technical and narrative boundaries in gaming and creating special unique games that really stick with you. let’s not even forget about the ND polish!
You’ve been able to make people cry not only in your videogames, but also in a freaking documentary. I can’t wait for your next content ❤
1:47:50 “Just let it go” that’s a larger than life moment, for a game about revenge. The leaks took such a mental, and emotional toll on naughty dog, and for them to respond like that makes me shed a tear.

Even when Ellie is picking something up, she naturally reaches in the exact direction of the item, and the movements switch perfectly while she is moving.
Even if you think some players will never notice, be sure there are a lot who will! Thank you for so much attention to detail.
For years I have been telling my wife how great video games are and how great The Last of Us games are, last year she watched the HBO show and that was it.. she's now beaten both games more than once and has since played both God of Wars, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart and several others. This story is so captivating and shows what a videogame can be and what story telling can be. Bravo Naughty Dog.

There's a lot of outright lies in this video. The real production of TLOU2 was a The Room-esque disaster offset by heavy Sony funding.
That inherently disqualifies it from even *being* a Making Of.
The main thing from watching this that maybe I didn't fully appreciate when i played the game, is just how impressive the animation is. Like it was clearly amazing, but really focusing on it makes you appreciate just how amazing it is.

Same, then I called my girlfriend to tell her, cos she loves the games as well, and we say and gushed about it for 30 mins, hahaha!
Hopefully it balances the disaster of part 2
@@iiTzKaran_YT How is part 2 a disaster?
I’ll wait 10 years I don’t care. The team at Naughty Dog are amazing.
I will never forget the time I played TLOU2; it was in the midst of the pandemic, and I was definitely locked at home, going out very little. When I did go out, the entire city was empty, walking through the streets and not finding anyone. Then I would come home and play TLOU2, where I could feel the sensation of isolation much more closely when roaming through the streets of Seattle. These feelings were incredible, and until then, I had never experienced anything like it!
This game is surreal.
right!? it was like the perfect time to release a game based on a pandemic!
I remember it being the 2nd worst thing that ever came out of the pandemic
@@recca7 I believe it is also the reason why it is still so divided. The mental toll of the pandemic taking loved ones + Joel dying in game can fk people up. Some people wanted to play video games to avoid reality but TLOU2 kind of forced it down to them but way harder. I can see why people still hate it, I mean look at the guy above me lol
@@kcoose5356😂😂😂
@@elijahpelito4722you people who ride this game to death swear the only criticism people have his Joels death, the writing contradicts itself over and over lmao
i'm glad i watched this. this look behind the scenes was great! keep it up guys
I think this game series is the best to ever exist. Part 1 and 2 are masterpieces. I can’t wait for Part 3 of it comes. I feel like I learned so much about myself playing these games. Part 2 helped me deal with my anger after losing a friend. I thank Naughty Dog for helping me wrestle with some really hard emotions and I came out of that period on my life a stronger person partly because of these games.
Cannot wait to delve into what it took and what it took out of the creators to make this masterpiece of a game. Honestly one of the greatest stories told for me personally.
It was a brilliant game!
Brilliant game. Disagree with a lot of the narrative and character decisions though.
I hate that you have to say “for me personally” so these weirdo incels won’t attack you. I think it’s pretty much objectively one of the best games ever made
For newcomers who didnt plsyed the 1 game its a masterpiece😂 this game was a mess
Play more games.
seeing Laura cry like that.. seriously these people out there even if you happened to hate the plot of a video game story you shouldn't just go around and threaten to kill the actress who played the role that killed your favourite character and also threaten to kill her baby. Thats so messed up ,what the hell are these people thinking . just shocking
exactly, after all they are just making a game, GAME, people should know where to stop and do not threat anyone just because of their own opinion on something what they do not like
I didn't like what they did to Joel honestly, but nothing justifies threatening to kill an ACTUAL PERSON and their child. These people are unhinged and best forgotten.
@@Fletchr86 Right?! If you don't like the direction they went, that's fine. But it's just a game at the end of the day.
Who are you preaching to? The insane weirdos that do stuff like that? They're not going anywhere and they're not changing either. When a fanbase gets large enough, the small percentage of crazy's become's an unfortunately large number of crazy's. It happens every time. They won't change because you tell them it's bad to be mean.
@@spartan1879 i am not commanding or judging anyone to change its their choice whether they change or not. whatever i say wont mean a thing to them i know, but i can express my opinion regarding this matter.
This was a lovely story / documentary. It really makes one feel how dedicated these people are to their craft. I firmly believe, we as gamers, are extremely fortunate to have such dedicated people pushing the boundaries of crafting, creating and publishing content / games / television, etc. And for the love that Neil Druckmann has for being the faith behind The LOU series, not to mention all the players who make it happen. It feels almost impossible. What a legacy! What an achievement!
The fact that Laura and Ashley and Troy had each other to get through the death threats is truly amazing. game was grreat and such wonderful performances.
no its not
It’s great to me
😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing performances and a great game
@@marcusclark1339 trollsayswhat
Death threats from haters who have nothing better to do with their lives. They should all get a different hobby.
This documentary made me fall in love with the game even more.
Seeing how dedicated the team was from beginning to end, and went through all the hardships to deliver the most riveting story is insane.
Naughty Dog never stop creating games please.
Thank you for two great masterpieces to play for years to come.
Just amazing work, documentary, and story, and IF there is another chapter I'm all for it!
You know they did a good job when even though you know what happens you still have real emotions when it happens.
Me every time I see the trailers leading up to release. I've watched them all too many times to count but they still get me whenever I see them again 😆
@@chuidumaI know this when / if they announce part 3 with a trailer. I'm going to lose my shit all over again
Ive always said spoilers dont ruin me because it's not about WHAT happens but HOW it happens I care about.
Yall don't feel cringe when it happens tho? Cause I do. Knowing where it leads, to nothing basically. Idk. Kind of a waste of a moment
a game that pushes equity and identity politics should never be applauded.
This was an absolute eye-opener to how a video game is developed, Naughty Dog, and The Last of Us franchise as a whole.
ashley's emotion went through my phone and into my bone that it gave me chills and tears, a true actor indeed
I will forever hold these games in my heart - the love, the jokes, the heartbreak; all of it.
The first time I watched this, I cried multitudes of times. I haven’t gone back and played this game since it released due to the emotional toll it both created and alleviated in my life at that time. It is still my favorite gaming experience of all time. Literal tears of joy leaked from my eyes when he said there’s probably one more chapter to this story. I feel it could be left alone, but I trust this team on all levels and it’s a privilege to partake in this journey alongside them.
I don't know if this is something that could work for you, but I'm kind of in the same boat. I can't play these games again, even though they're probably (TLOU and TLOU2) both in my Top 5 of all time, from the HUNDREDS I've played.
But what I love doing is watching other people experiencing these games for the first time (playthroughs). If you do however, I suggest looking for playthroughs in the past ~2 years, as the first year was riddled with people who were only playing it for views and didn't really care about the story, making the experience much less enjoyable
Watching these give me these same feelings again, without having to play them again. It's a win-win :D
The moment i know there's a next chapter, i stop breathing...
It made my day ☺
Bit of a risky chance to take, but I’ll respect it.
time stamp?
RIP if you died.
bro, you okay?
Great reminder of what we go through as Game Developers to turn our ideas into reality. Love that you share the struggle of what it was like to work on this massive game. Even if we only got to see a fraction, it makes me excited to see what you guys will produce in the future.
Amazing work Naughty Dog. I was hoping you covered the leaks, and you did. Really enjoyed this doco.
Almost 12 years ago now I was at a friend's house who's brother was playing uncharted 2, my eyes were glued and I couldn't believe what I was seeing, the only games I played were Wii sports or Mario kart. That Christmas I begged my parents for a PS3 with uncharted, and thanks to my kind parents I beat uncharted 1 and 2 that Christmas day/night. Your games are the reason I fell in love with games, they showed me the power of art, you have inspired me to tell stories of my own as I work to get a degree in filmmaking/screen writing and embark on my journey to make people feel the way you made me feel as an 8 year old hiding down stairs playing uncharted 2.
I've suffered waiting for each one of your games since haha. I always manage to have butterfly's as I finally put in that new disc and see the new naughty dog game pop on my screen because I know I'm about to experience something I never have before. You've managed to raise the bar each game you make and somehow you keep beating the bar you have made.
Thankyou to all the hard working people at naughty dog, you've changed and inspired me. THANKYOU.
AINT READING ALLAT 🤣💀
1:47:45 Wow, it is cool how they connected Neil's rage with Ellie's rage against Abby ....
fantastic story, game, music, themes, art, everything. Just great. Thanks Naughty Dog for everything
The scene of Ellie in the space ship was beautiful unforgettable emotional thanks for all the work and for All the emotions you all make me feel.
It was beautiful.
I cried when Joel said to Ellie “Welcome to Earth” 😭⭐️
Troy: “How am I gonna get through this scene? I dunno if I have the chops.”
Proceeds to crush it.
Goddamn, Troy. Terrific work.
I figure this will probably never reach the team, but both these games are such landmarks in my life. I will never forget the incredible, raw and powerful emotions I felt playing through the first game, and then the second 7 years later. I am just grateful for the ride so far, and hopeful I will get to feel those intense feelings once more. Thank you everyone, from the bottom of my heart. ❤
Amazing documentary. Thank you to have share with us, the fans, a part of your life as the creators of the most intense piece of art on this earth.
No matter how i feel about the game the story i can never deny the heart and soul put in this game
The story was amazing. I’m sorry if you had a negative view of it.
@chrismatteson1312 maybe he has a negative view because he didn't like it? 🤷
@@hishkapish4817Nobody was questioning his view, dawg.
when Laura cried during doing the death scene of Joel.. i lost it and started crying 😭😭
TLOU and God of War Remakes are pure passion
This franchise means a lot to me and will always have a special place in my heart.
Thank you, Naughty Dog. ❤
Love *ND* with all my heart.
REAL
Same here, i like naughty dog games, they're the best in this industry
We can buy hope they'll announce something by outbreak day this year. Fingers crossed!!
