I personally couldn't imagine hearing someone else play Ellie other than Ashley Johnson, never mind what she looks like. Unless they dubbed Ashley Johnson over the top, but can't imagine that would work.
Me too! At first I thought incredible game/experience but I wasn't sure if I would ever play it again. I think as I've processed it though over the past week or so I think I'll start new game plus at some point.The betrayal is usually against yourself. What The Last of Us Part II accomplishes is being about an unravelling and finding of self by asking you to be truer to yourself and better; and better to each other, too.
I am still waiting for the right time to start new game plus. I am still letting my first experience settle down first. I thought I would not be able to or need to play it again but I think I will. I missed a lot of the safes too! And I played for over 42 hours.
Same problem I'm finding with the idea of an Uncharted movie. Tom Holland as Nathan, geez.I personally couldn't imagine hearing someone else play Ellie other than Ashley Johnson, never mind what she looks like. Unless they dubbed Ashley Johnson over the top, but can't imagine that would work.
Ellen Page is 33, youthful or not I don't think so Ashley Johnson is 36.
You definitely need someone younger to play a character that starts the story at 14. Maisie Williams maybe or Millie Bobby Brown.
I like the idea of Josh Brolin for Joel but also Jeffrey Dean Morgan
You certainly look at things in a different light with the knowledge of the 1st playthrough. Still just as impressive, if not more so.

Tom Holland is listed as Drake on imdb for the movie, along with Mark Wahlberg as Sully.Who said Tom Holland? Have you seen the fan film with Nathan Fillion as Drake? Still cheesy for me, but I admire the passion and effort very much.

A few entries of the top of my head - Last of Us Pt1 (unsurprisingly), To the Moon (Freebird games), Journey (after I discovered what was really going on), and perhaps somewhat weirdly! Nier Automata. There are definitely more on the list though - certainly several JRPGs at one point or another.If anyone here found TLOUII to be profound, impactful or transformative can you please tell me what, if any, other visual medium has affected and or effected you in a similar way? Or, has there been anything better for you? I am very curious.
I mentioned earlier in the thread that for me it would be The Wire which is my modern on screen Shakespeare. But even The Wire did not live with me and affect and effect me for as long as The Last of Us Part II has, thus far. Neither has any visual medium traumatised me before. Hence, it is my all time top most impactful experience of any visual medium. And I think it is my greatest ever game now. For about 22 years, and all time, it was The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. But I really think it is The Last of Us Part II now. The relevance of TLOUII alone from a human aspect makes me hold it higher. I feel I would be neglecting that if I were to hold Ocarina in first place. I could say both are my favourite games of all time of course.
Warm wishes to all

the recent Joker effected me emotionally the same way LOU2 has...and both are very relevant in the wake of a pandemic and deadly virus on the loose, the massive increase in violence ... people feeling isolated, alienated and got to a point that there tired of life or the system beating them down, and had a reaction...
no video game has come close to the emotional impact this game has, not that i have played anyway... i've completed the game, so i'm going back in to get the plat now.

I think after game of thrones, maisie Williams would have the necessary grit, shown by ellie, and ironically had the same sort of character arc, innocent, then becomes hardened. I've been watching some of the stop motion work used in the game, and watching ashley johnson playing the guitar..ive been told there's 11 hours of cut scenes, out there that be watched like a movie, tons of course never made it into the game after the editing.
But lots of times I felt like as i was watching a movie, also in the movie!
Aside, I am a bit worried about the lack of Atmos support out box - apparently - with the PS5. It has UHD support so I thought it would support Atmos. I heard and read that Sony are pushing their own 3D audio technology.
Yes, they’re making a big deal about 3D audio on PS5.

Yes, I just got chills in my chest and back: there is something powerfully lasting about this game and discussing it is helping strengthen my belief in it even more. So, thank you all on here and for this thread. I already mentioned the catharsis and transformation I went from my first playthrough. And I now realise that his has made me stronger to withstand it a second time. It's like... this game was so alien to me in the sense that I found it so unpredictable and thus, organic. That is how it constantly pulled and tugged at my mind, heart, body and soul. Now, with a certain command, new understanding and tougher skin, I feel like I can come at it in a different way and perhaps it will come at me differently, too. I know that sounds a bit nebulous but I am freestyling a bit here and that is how I feel.
