As confirmed by a fan page in touch with someone who already played the game, TLOU Part 1 story remains unaltered, but made compatible with Part 2 in a way everyone expected

Thread worthy

[Tripolygon]

This was known months ago?

 

[Venuspower]

Who would have thought that after it had been known for weeks that Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson had not recorded any new dialogue?

 

[realcool]

The retcon makes perfectly logical sense. Paradoxically, the sequel doesn't.

 

[Fake]

So, only the race change?

 

[squarealex]

So, only the race change?

what race ?

 

[DonJorginho]

What a nothingburger of a thread.

 

[Fake]

what race ?

orc to elf

 

[squarealex]

orc to elf

Damn you BLIZZARD !

 

[ShaquilleOatmeal]

Rumor has it you can see Abby's biceps over the Salt Lake City mountains, too.

 

[Jaybe]

Figured it would now be ‘take your daughters to work day’ at the hospital and Abby would be witness to the whole thing. I admire Druckmann’s restraint.

 

[Bragr]

The story is unchanged................EXCEPT...

Fuuck off naughty dog you hacks

 

[Calverz]

Yea nobody cares lol

 

[elcapitano]

Good. Game looks fantastic

 

[xBlueStonex]

 

[balls of snow]

Good will be playing part 1 and part 2 back to back.

 

[DForce]

Some people will be "upset" due to fake outrage.

 

[Jormatar]

Good. The story was perfect already. No need to change it.

 

[nominedomine]

Perfect.

With that said I wouldn't have minded some additional content similar to left behind.

To be honest the way the Fireflies in the first game looked so unsuited to be developing a vaccine played a big part in how there was pretty much no dilemma for me. Even after reading the logs it just didn't seem believable that they had any chance at developing anything and they just came off as a bunch of clowns. To me it was one of the most obvious problems with the original game and it's not surprising that they are trying to fix it.

 

[Fredrik]

Oh well. Would’ve been cool it they split the story and kicked off an alternative story arc with Joel.

 

[Kamina]

Will they add a scene where young Abby finds her father’s stash of steroids?

 

[jorgejjvr]

I mean, we've known for awhile it's the same game we're paying now a premium of $70 for

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Doubling-down on the worst narrative decision in TLOU2.

*Sigh*

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Need kid Abby cameo please.

 

[DonJorginho]

People crying in here over a model change? Jesus Christ...

 

[rkofan87]

[rkofan87]

Need kid Abby cameo please.

that is a retcon i like to have had oh well.

how is that a spoiler

 

[skybaby]

It's only bad when George Lucas does it!!!!

 

[Bartski]

By saying Abby was added into the first Last of Us?

what? that's not what it says nor what it means.

 

[FingerBang]

People crying in here over a model change? Jesus Christ...

It's not only just a model change, it makes sense. This game is called The Last of Us Part I, of course it's going to make stuff have more sense in hindsight.

How the fuck is this a retcon lol

 

[Mshoaibi789]

What about this game on PC, we have some rumors last month about the game landing on PC but no clue then from Sony. Also no update on steam either.

 

[DispatchNinja]

OH MY GOD THEY RUINED IT

 

[Saber]

Will they add a scene where young Abby finds her father’s stash of steroids?

They will add a scene where she finds a photo of her dad pregnant, then she turns around and point finger at the screen saying "take that homophobes!".

 

[EDMIX]

damn I can't wait to run thru the remake and then play 2 right after. brought all the feels back lol This looks amazing!

 

[Slicker than your average]

Wasn't killing the doctors optional in the first game anyway. I always wondered why they made it cannon they died

 

[EDMIX]

No.

He dies regardless of what you do.

Its why many of us already knew it was tied to the second game as you had zero choice in the matter. I always had a theory for years that Marlene's family or the doctor's family would come to kill Joel. You had no option with the doctor so clearly its hard of the story that can't be changed and he states something to Marlene how she would just try to find them and they know each other, so I always felt like her son or daughter or someone would find Joel, I even felt like part 2 would show some flash back of some kid in the corner of the parking garage seeing Joel kill their mother and be like "time to go to jackson and kill this mo fo" lol

 

[nowhat]

You have to kill the "main" doctor. You can leave the other doctors/nurses/whatnot alive, but personally I prefer to use a flamethrower on all of them.

[hemo memo]

Good. The story was perfect already. No need to change it.

Part 1 story was perfect.

Part 2:

 

[SLB1904]

No it wasn't. U have to kill at least one doctor to progress

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Enough fuel to keep this trainwreck chugging along choo-choo.

 

[jorgejjvr]
