E3 2018: The Last of Us Part 2 Gameplay Revealed by Naughty Dog

Ellie continues to kick ass in The Last of Us Part 2; Joel no where to be seen.

Naughty Dog has shown off more heart-racing footage of The Last of Us Part 2 at this year’s Sony E3 Press Conference. What started off rather nicely at a dance quickly descended into bloody murder with Ellie escaping from bandits.

A few highlights from the trailer included a heavier focus on stealth, gruelling combat, as well as the ability to crawl under vehicles (a rarity in video games). It also appears as if Ellie's bow skills have improved since the last game, along with the ability to collect arrows off of fallen enemies.

      The enemy AI is amazing. It's cool that they all seem to have names and that they talk to each other, telling them where they last saw Ellie, etc.

        If anything I get the impression he's very much alive. The dude at the beginning talking to Elle says "Your dad was busting my chops" or something like that which I assume her dad being Joel.

      I can't wait to play this, then play it again immediately afterward.
