Check out the opening sequence from the PS5 version. The Last of Us Part 1 Opening Sequence: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JLVA8efGZ70.html
The first time I played this my jaw hit the floor. My friend and I were both left speechless. I’ve never played a game that sucked me right in and tugged at my heartstrings the way The Last of Us did.
When I first played it with my new headphones which was a baad idea cause it head simulated sound and 3D sound in other words it ounces so real and I was absolutely terrified it let me think if hummawanity is reward for a fungi attack and the 4 stages of infection left me speechless s well
Yes.. And fuck it was like that the entire time. Just playing to see the next cut scene. I cried both time.s Remastered killed me with the lifeless body..
Come on, was it really that surprising? Sarah might has well have had the word "corpse" branded on her forehead. It's a great opening still, just like the rest of the game, but I didn't think it was in any way surprising.
My favorite part in every apocalyptic movie or game is always the part where the outbreak has just started and people are trying to flee to safety and understand what’s going on
When I first played this I thought that this was ground zero where the virus spread to throughout the US and later the world but than when Tommy mentions the east and west coast you soon realize that this is world wide. Same with Fear the Walking Dead (when it was good) season 1 made me and maybe others believe that LA was ground zero and that the reanimated girl was patient zero but then as more episodes came out you realize that this is happening again worldwide. I would love to see a Last of Us game set in Northern Europe, the UK, Australia, Japan, El Paso and crossover to Ciudad Juarez, just see how other countries are doing.
@@Wolfboy2012 The problem with this narratives is sometimes trying to focus to much on characters than actually showing what we want. The reason The Walking Dead is bad now because no one cares anymore. I think 3 seasons for the characters and then proceed to show more of the world instead of the same drama. It gets boring and repetitive. This also happened to The last of us, the first game showed us a main goal that is the cure. And what the second game does? Evolves around the plot of The last of us 1, instead of showing stupid consequences it should showed something more like what if they find another person in the world like that. They just forgot the game was about infected than a teenager tv show
The poor girl... she could’ve survived the whole thing! She was in perfect health, had a good family, and fair chance of survival. She could’ve made it, but an army soldier killed her before she even had the chance. It really shows the desperation in everyone to survive, even those that have a job meant to save other’s lives.
I don’t even blame the solider. He obviously didn’t want to shoot them, but he had to or he could risk losing his job, which if he had a family could impact them even more
The juxtaposition between the opening scene and the final hospital chase is perfect. Here you feel the hopeless desperation as a scared father flees for safety as Joel and his daughter’s world comes crashing down before them, ultimately for it to end in heartbreak for Joel. As he flees the hospital with Ellie, you instead have a hardened and guilt ridden survivor determined not to fail her like he failed Sarah. In his own mind he’s not just trying to save Ellie’s life, joel is chasing his own redemption and a second chance at being a dad. Story telling at its finest.
Dude, I remember the moment "I" woke up in that hospital. For the entire game up to that point, I felt guilt for every life I took - even the murderous carjackers in the convenience store. But that hospital? I set my jaw and went straight MF scorched earth. No hesitation. Ellie was the ONLY thought in my mind. Absolutely amazing game design to immerse you so completely.
you may say that because you have an emotional attachment to him, but he really didn’t, he took away the cure from the entire world because of his own selfish reasons, he wasn’t a good person.
@@martinlutherkingjr.2993 The entire point of the story (including part 2) was to show how you can't just black & white things like that though. I don't think it's that easy. Sure, while his reasons can be interpreted as selfish, they can also just as well be interpreted as selfless. He put himself into grave danger to save Ellie because he felt the price was too high. There is no right or wrong answer. Look at the world that was to be saved. Do you really think things would have went back to normal with a cure? The most likely thing that would have happened is that the Fireflies would have used it to gain an advantage over anyone else. Noble reasons are more often than not only noble as long as they can't be exploited.
I played this for the first time under the impression that you play through it as Joel and his daughter I feel like they marketed it this way to really make that twist hit home.
@@STUFF-bd9hp yes it is! Its call destiny. You never know what fate has planned. If they weren't in that car, the runners probably would have bitten her or many other scenarios. The point is that you can't change the facts of the course of life like "back of the future". It is what it is, that's life. Watch the movie Benjamín Button, the scene when the car hit the dancer, maybe that would change your mind :)
@@ezequielrivara2205 I, for one, don't believe in destiny. You can't just accept it as the truth when there's no proof. It's all about belief, so there's no use trying to change anyone's mind.
no my dear the walking dead is awesome even better than world war z but this game is truly amazing i agree that it could be a bit better than the Walking dead
Jack Leighton the first 4 seasons are fire a lot better than the last of us but in the case of the last of us part 2 The Walking Dead is much better with all seasons wich are kinda disapionting
The prologue did an amazing job of building terror in my opinion. From 2:26 to the part where you hear the dog bark and then whimper to the part where you see your first infected. It was way more terrifying than most horror games and movies.
@@guyred2083 Look this up. Former naughty dog employees called him a "hitchhiker." No one knew what it means till now which niel actually didnt write the first game. He just took the credit
Not to mention that he got his watch destroyed again, after his own daughter took the time to try and get it fixed again for him. He really lost two things that night.
Ghosted We say that but in the shoes of a soldier who’s seen people going crazy and attacking each other and then to be ordered to we probably would do the same. I like to think I wouldn’t but I’m sitting in my safe warm house. I’m not actually faced with that decision. Just saying.
Beelz I can understand what you’re saying since there’s an apocalypse going on in that scene but you gotta think about it, those two were calm and they were terrifyingly traumatized with everything that’s going on. He even mentioned that he’s not sick. No “sick” people would mention that tbh, I would’ve just stood down.
Beelz Knowing im sitting comfortably in my house, I’ve seen alota films that’s based on situations like this game for example.. i’d prolly know when to shoot and not to. It’s natural instincts.
Ghosted instincts are different. No time to rationalize with instincts, just action. Hell we can’t even be sure he would have finished them off if Tommy hadn’t shown up to be fair.
@@keithkatzz He was a doctor. A person. Making a choice. Just like you. Can you at least TRY to understand basic empathy and sympathy? He wasn't the devil and Abby isn't evil either.
MasteroChieftan By your logic, everyone and their grandma would be going after Joel and Ellie for all the people they killed along the way. They probably killed someone’s brother, sister, mother, father, uncle, aunt, grandfather, etc, etc. There would be an army of Abbys.
@@DrachenRitter There probably would be if they were strong enough or had the drive to continue on despite the environment they lived within. I mean, the same behavior could be seen of David from the fist game, Joel had killed his men and in return, he took Ellie while she was vulnerable and intended on keeping her. Abby had a strong will - she was determined to get revenge and that determination kept her alive for the years between her father's death and Joel's.
Santiago, not gonna lie but I don't feel nothing at all too. Seeing this video again especially when Sarah is crying is much more painful to think than the Dad of Abby. The death of Abby's father is awfully executed that's why we don't feel any pain on her side at all. What a messed story is TLOU2 is.
Just played TLOU1. Never played the sequel, (if you don't play it). It's really bad in story and characters like the super buff Abby.(I don't want to spoil you but the sequel is really bad). How we wish Anita Sarkeesian never messed the story.
Sarah looked like she was in so much pain, and than when she dies she's looking up at Joel ;_;. They probably couldn't even bury her amongst all the chaos too.
Gosh, this brings back so many memories...I first played this game with a small group of friends that I made during orientation week of my freshman year of college. I played it the most out out of all of us. This opening sequence sucked me in so much and went from having me on the edge of my seat to nearly crying at a game for the first time. Thank you so much for uploading this!!
For me, when I played this game I was playing with my cousin in Germany since I just met her, I remember she was telling me to run when the infected from the ambulance chase you and I said I know they are there, I see their shadows. Sarah’s death got us both real bad.
Joel in Part I: refuses to save family with a kid cause he must must save his own Joel in Part II: just casually saves Abby that he sees first time in his life, rides to her hideout, gives away his identity while knowing he pissed like dozens of different individuals throught whole America. Gets beaten to death with a golf club. Expected good writing for Part II, huh? Well, guess what, your expectations subverted, ladies and gentlemen.
what about when Joel followed Henry and Sam to their hideout? Could have easily been a trap. Plus, at that moment they weren't chased by a horde of infected, Plus plus, you can see Joel has settled down over the years. TLOU2 has its problems, but this ain't one of them.
@Gibran Higuera witch was also vary much unlike tommy. In the 1st game tommy was willing to cast Joel out of his town or even kill him to protect it. If he was willing to do that to his own. Think about what he would do to someone he dose not know.
@@SkylineGTRFreak Well Sam attacks Joel as he walks through and they mistake each other for hunters. In the second game Joel is part of a patrol and decides to venture far out of town, while knowing that raids and ambushes on small patrols can easily happen (plus in the first game you see that the town is attacked quite often). And then of course he goes to a random person's hideout, gives away his name and address, and doesn't even see an attack coming when they all stop and start staring at him.
@@markhenley3097 it was a single girl who got attacked by a horde. I don't believe anyone would think this is a trap (well it wasn't). And Joel did notice something was off, but only when it was already too late. It wasn't really out of character at all. They looked for a way out and at that Moment Abby was their only solution
Again with the unexplained bashing of Part 2. I get it is not a feel good story with the nostalgic warmth and homeliness mood. You gotta learn to grow up. Part 2 is not a masterpiece by any means. Part 2 have it's moments, even more so intense than the Part 1. Saying this scene is better than Part 2, people commenting like you or those liking it are just jumping on the no explain hate wagon. I liked the theme of the game was something different, however the story could've been done abit differently having a similar result.
@@PsyQoBoy . The story was lazy as hell, pulling cheap manipulative tricks such as Forcing you to kill a dog then play fetch with it in the past. Killing abbys father is just a fan fic cliche. I honestly think the premise is really good, but it was poorly executed. "Well crafted, poorly executed" As my uncle, who has a PhD in Philosophy, said, “A game can include a deep message, however if it forces you not enjoy yourself by playing as someone you hate, making you feel angry, sad, and anxious, then it’s not a game, it should be a movie.” I agree with some points of the story, however, it’s not the fact that Abby killed Joel, it’s making us sympathize with someone we hate. The very little respect I had for Abby absolutely got destroyed when she didn’t feel any remorse in torturing Joel or being okay with killing Dina, when Ellie was mentally scarred when she tortured Nora and killed Mel. I hated Abby because she was a straight up horrible person, nothing redeeming in her. Her dad died pretty quickly compared to Joel. I think a game shouldn’t make you feel angry or make you hate it on purpose. That’s why there are movies. I’d rather waste a couple of dollars watching a movie that makes me feel this way (Uncut Gems) than waste 60 dollars on a game that, in the end, made me feel so bad for Ellie,meanwhile Abby got off pretty light compared to what Ellie has been through. Ellie literally went through worse and I felt bad for her, when I saw Abby alone with lev because she lost everything, I felt joy knowing she was miserable. If they made us play as Ellie for the whole game then I wouldve actually given this game a 9 or so out of 10. Or if they made Part 2 about Abby and Ellie in the 4 year gap, slowly learning that Joel killed Abby’s father, but not being confirmed until the end that he, in fact, did kill him. That way we see our dear protagonist, Joel, as an enemy since we came to love Abby before killing Joel. That way Joel’s death is more meaningful and makes us feel very confused. It’s not so much the message the problem, but the poorly written new characters, you can straight out see how Joel, Ellie, and Tommy are the most interesting characters here. The new ones were so forgettable, I only remember Owen, Mel and Abby’s name. Just because they made us see that horrible, boring, and unnecessary love triangle. Forcing us to love the enemies when I never cared for them, every time someone dies I felt satisfaction, never did I care for the WLF. This is a perfect example of “well crafted, poorly executed” Such an interesting concept but ultimately ruined by its writing and execution of the story. The message wasn’t the problem. It was the delivery overall. And, in my opinion, (you are free to think other wise) it isn’t a games job to show us the cruel reality, they can, but that 60 dollar price tag makes it even more risky to pull off. I think if I would’ve gotten this game for 20-30 dollars, I would’ve been much more satisfied. Just look at doom and it’s overwhelming amount of praise, it’s because they are games, and not overpriced interactive movies. however, after thinking it through... Jesus do I appreciate more the story, I still feel divided, but I understand what Neil wanted to make us feel. As more time passes I appreciate more and more this game. I'll never give it a 10/10, but it definitely deserves a must play at least when it's on sales or playstation hits. So no, Im sick and tired of people only saying "Oh, you didn't like it because you can't grow up, give valid points" I could make a 10 page esaay on saying why the story is just one of the worst, it poorly handled. And keep in mind that I avoided the leaks and I was crazy hyped for this game, even Pre-ordered it. So, no. I didn't want the comment to hate on TLOU2 without reason because I have to write a whole essay every time someone says some stupid shit like "It's supposed to make you feel bad, you're supposed to think!" I mean, Uncut Gems, Catherine, Detroit, Breaking Bad, and a whole ton of movies, series and games have made me feel anxious, sad, angry and everything that the TLOU2 tried to make me feel, and I enjoyed every second of it, because it was weel executed. Unlike TLOU2, that made me. Feel angry, anxious and sad because of how bad the story was. Not because it was really good. So, please, don't say I hate this game with no reason. That's just idiotic on your part. Edit: fixed a typo.
@@tigerishrumble7976 Nah... all good. Good explanation. I 100% agree with you. There are major flaws with the storyline with the game. I would've done it differently.
@@christopherwhitt5521 you have no idea how many people have said "You're just in the hate train, hating with no reason". So yeah, man. I have it ready at all times lol
Imagine if a scenario similar to this actually played out: you would lose your friends, your loved ones, your career, your nation, your very way of life, just shattered in an instant by a freak accident or political issue, imagine how terrified you would be.... if you lived to tell the tale
Since I never owned a PS3 back in 2013 I was never able to play the game. But even just watching let's play vids of it was enough to make me love this game. This opening scene was so touching and brutal at the same time.
I played tjis gmae like month ago and still remember this crystal clearly. I had seen alot picures about ellie and thought sarah was ellie (didnt know ellies name, just had seen pictures). This shocked me alot and I almost cried
I will never recover from the beginning of this game. It hit too hard too soon, and I couldn't- I couldn't even process it. I wouldn't have survived that if I was Joel. I couldn't have handled losing someone that important to me.
I was blown away by this game. I beat it in like 4 days. Just completely sucked into it. The story, the violence... everything felt so real and powerful
I think this beginning would be a good start for a dlc fill in some of the gaps like what tommy was doing before he went to joel and sara and what joel was doing after she went to sleep. Then after it all fill in the 20 year later gap! It would be awesome to see joel, tommy, and tess and possibly bill. As hunters then leading. To their split up and tess and joel become smugglers. Tommys joining of the fireflies and his fall out and bill and frank going off to their town. Id probably get last of us 2 for myself if they did that.
Me too, Stylish Psycho. TLOU2 is a complete disappointment. TLOU1 is much, much better than the sequel. The sequel is on the level of trash in story and plot.
The TV series really nailed the introduction and even added some other details that makes the final product so compelling and believable without agressively deviating from the original material. HBO proving to the entire Hollywood producing and screenwriting community that's possible to successfully adapt a videogame into a live action show
Just breaks my heart every time I watch it. To lose a child; your own flesh and blood, is to lose a huge piece of yourself. I don't know if I could go on after such a tragedy.
