The Last of Us Part 1 Gameplay Reaction

Maybe we could do the movie then the game? πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”

This was a great watch. It'll be awesome if the same can be done for another Naughty Dog game franchise Uncharted. They recently had a movie adaptation, which was ok but not great. Uncharted is what really helped Naughty Dog gain some notoriety in the gaming industry and allowed them to play around with some concepts and functions that was later used in The Last of Us.

If you really enjoyed the alternate ending you should check out The Last of ZUs Live https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAhT9gbmOtw&ab_channel=PlayStation

To me those recordings didn't say it would 100% work. A surgeon is not a scientist. They have no one to make a vaccine, Joel knows that, trhe viewers should know that too. As Doctors don't make vaccines. The vacinne would have 100% failed with only 1 person to try and make it, and one who is not some one with the skill to make a vaccine. Not to mention he wasn't even a surgeon yet, he was still in medical school when the apoc started. At least in the game, the show started later so he may have been a surgeon in the TV Show.

Yeah Jimmy is the first infected that bangs the glass door and then comes in to the house in the game, which Joel then has to shoot.

Ricardo Pomalaza

I’m stating what we know to be facts not assumptions. First person Joel kills in the game is jimmy

MJ Eid

we don't know that do we? Joel already has blood on him when he enters the house.

Kayleb Patel

Fun fact. Jimmy in the game is the first infected Joel kills. I’m the show the farm house they pass by is jimmys farm. Renamed for the show.

MJ Eid

True but the story is well written enough to follow along without having to see all the other games. I started on uncharted for myself and went back to play the others but it was still enjoyable.

Rhyea

Troy is in Uncharted 4, but you'd be jumping into the ending of the franchise story-wise.

Jessica

Thank you, Laura!

Badd Medicine

Thank you so much for doing this!!

Laur

That was pretty damn good! Thanks for sharing!

Badd Medicine

Yes Troy is the voice actor for the main characters older brother.

Rhyea

Thats fair. It's all subjective. Good to see the different perspectives.

Badd Medicine

The story in the game is fantastic.

Badd Medicine

Is Troy in that too?

Badd Medicine

Good point you bring up there. We thought keeping it to the comparison of the show vs game was the way to go here. We did have close 5 hours of footage but trimmed it down to the cinematic parts of it. They did get to see some of the play. Not enough though for the relationships as you mentioned.

Badd Medicine

It was great to see them give Frank a life in the tv show.

Badd Medicine

Glad you enjoyed!

Badd Medicine

Check out this clip us Ashely and Troy (Joel & Ellie) singing on stage as Joel and Ellie in real life. They are amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6iophDSWJ4

TinCan Cosmanaut

My personal opinion is that the game stuck the last scene better. The way the guitar starts playing embedded in my mind.

TinCan Cosmanaut

Thank you for doing this! I wish everyone who watched the show would watch the game cut scenes. Just hits different imo.

J C

If you guy really like troy baker and naughty dog please checkout the gameplay for uncharted 4 a thiefs end. Its one of the top most cinematic games out there. Story/Visuals/Action completely amazing! Thanks for checking out last of us game though

Rhyea

None of know anything about Part 2. Very strong chance we all wait till the show and do this again.

Badd Medicine

Are you gunna watch part 2 before the next season comes out?

john crosby

oh dang I never saw that alternate ending, amazing :D

Ginster

One thing that I’m sure has been mentioned and discussed but I think bears repeating is that there is a LOT of development of characters and their relationships that happens with dialogue during the gameplay sections. So getting mostly cutscenes is still only a portion of the characterization in the game, and there was some stuff I was sad it seemed you skipped. But I get you couldn’t watch everything. Really enjoyed this video though! It’s cool to see the comparisons kind of in reverse.

Derek Jolstead

Finally got a chance to watch the full reaction, and in the discussion about people who haven't played the game, people who have, etc, and their reactions (about an hour and 10 minutes in), here's where I fall: I did not play the game, myself. But I've watched a couple playthroughs from some of my favorite gaming YouTubers, so I'm very familiar with the story and characters. Personally, I have no problem with any of the changes because they make total sense to me as a viewer, and also when factoring in the challenges the crew faced by filming in Alberta. Like, obviously there was no way they could have Calgary stand in for Pittsburgh (or even Chicago, had they chosen to go that route, or really most cities along that route; they probably could have gotten away with using, like, Columbus but I didn't mind seeing KC). Obviously, the game is a masterpiece. But since the show, while deviating from the source material some, basically hit all of the same major plot points, I'm totally cool with it. And I do think in some cases, the changes were a massive improvement (like Bill and Frank's story, in particular).

Jeff K

just watched this whole thing! glad you looked in to the game to see where all the really great moments came from. I love both just the same in different ways. was a real treat to see one of my fave games adapted in to something with such love and care. I cannot wait until season 2, as the second game i like even more, its so good!

GillyBean

It's because they wanted to soften him up for things to come in the future. I don't want to post spoilers, but they're changing the story so that hopefully people like events from the second game more.

Marco Gutierrez

On that note have y’all decided who will be doing the actual play through?

Jeff K

Really excited to watch this guys, thanks!

Daniel Silva

I wouldn't mind if you guys check out other naughty dog games like uncharted games like the last of us great storytelling. I played the last of us part 1 maybe over 10 times now since it's original 2013 release. Definitely one of my favorite games. The last of us HBO series phenomenal adaptation love both versions

Chase Gardner

I think the show hit me harder than the game, but I fell in love with this universe because of the game, so it's not that simple for me. There are things the show did better and things the game did better. Both are tremendous for their respective mediums.

Fredrik IB

Oh... My... God. This will be awesome! Having been such a fan of the games for so long, it's been really special seeing this adapted so unbelievably well. Even though the show is next level fantastic, the game certainly still adds up. Excited to watch this with you guys!

Fredrik IB

It's been a while since I played the game but i'm pretty sure the mortal kombat machine was on but broken in the game so Riley narrated the game for her so she played it in her mind basically! also in the left behind dlc you see Ellie go to another mall where Joel was left in to find medicine for him and the scenes would alternate between Ellie with Riley and Ellie alone fighting by herself! wanted to add that in because you guys missed it and I personally think they should've added that in the episode

Sazz

Had to buy to appropriate video capture. Set our timeline back a bit.

Badd Medicine

Where’s the hogwarts legacy play 😭

Marquis keel

Murder Hobo Joel from the game is way better than Show Joel in my opinion, the fact he's relatively soft in the show already erases much of his character growth.

Just a note for people watching this: The title and thumbnail for this video is for "The Last of Us Part I" which is a remake of the original released earlier this month with an updated engine. The gameplay you're actually reacting to is the original "The Last of Us" released in 2013 (wasn't called "Part 1" as there was only one game). Just in case anyone was hoping you were reacting to the new version of the game.

Saynt Michael

If only Mass Effect had the game style so you could do this.... (Well done lads!)

Cojuancidence

Speaking of the voice acting and motion capture stuff, I think you guys might find it super interesting (and Diamond Dave has probably already watched some of it) to check out the behind the scenes stuff with Troy Baker, Ashley Johnson, etc actually performing in their mo-cap suits. It's super impressive, because you can see just how intensely serious they're taking it. You can really see how/why the performances are as good as they are.

Jeff K

Hope you enjoy

Badd Medicine

You surprised me! thank you for this guys :)

Lukas Vaculik

Totally fair to say. It all hits everyone different.

Badd Medicine

YEEEEEEEEES! The game is so amazing! I'm sorry to say but I like the game storyline so much better than the series.
