Ellie seems to want blood, brains, and balls.
Joel isn't dead. Kind of surprised by that.
SPOILERS FROM THE LAST OF US
They ended up back at Tommy's town. Guessing that it got overrun by bandits and wiped out.

Neil said this is "a game about hate"

Ellie going dark. Hell yeah
Posted on 12/3/16 at 5:27 pm to Mr Gardoki
Guessing Ellie hooked up with someone and they were killed in a raid or maybe something bigger

Damn I'm ready for this game now

Current fan theory out there that it wasn't Joel in the door, it was a ghost or in her imagination. Someone killed Joel and she wants revenge. I can't wait to kill everyone

Joel is going to die at the very beginning just like his daughter.

Joel and Ellie's story was perfectly wrapped up, IMO. Not sure about revisiting it, but I'll trust Naughty Dog to deliver.

Neil Druckmann is a Hell of a writer. Looking forward to the story. But I'm with you, I would have been satisfied with leaving Joel and Ellie's story as is.

I do have to ask...
Can Ellie finally swim?
Frick pallets.
Also, I'm kind of disappointed these didn't make an appearance yet, so here they are:

same. pumped for another last of us game, but its bittersweet for me since I thought the original ending was perfect

even Hennig's Uncharted scripts were trash. that's just not my genre. compared to her Legacy of Kain scripts, the Uncharted games looked like Dr Seuss
look at this:
Soul Reaver 2 Pillars Scene
quote:
Kain:
This isn't a chase, Raziel - we are merely passengers on the wheel of destiny, describing a perfect circle to this point.
We have been brought here for a reason.
I have seen the beginning and the end of our story, however - and the tale is crude and ill-conceived.
We must rewrite the ending of it, you and I.
Raziel: (frustrated)
Face me, Kain. Even you shouldn't die a coward's death.
Kain finally turns to respond, having delayed Raziel as long as he needed.
Kain:
Isn't it customary to grant the condemned a final request?
Raziel:
I recall no such courtesy from you.
Kain:
Indulge me, Raziel. All I ask is that you listen.
At this moment, an unearthly, disembodied wailing begins to be audible, increasing in volume as it fills the clearing.
Kain:
This is the sublime moment of our undoing, Raziel - the ineffable fulcrum upon which swings the entirety of our history.
This is where all of Nosgoth is betrayed.
In this instant, Ariel - the Balance Guardian - is murdered by dark forces bent on overthrowing the Pillars.
Her spirit is just now tearing free, lost in the ether, trying to find its way here.
You have already seen how she comes to haunt these Pillars -
Raziel: (interrupting)
- bound here by your refusal to die. You are the reason this land becomes diseased - as long as you remain alive you condemn Nosgoth to an eternity of decay.
Kain gently raises his hand to silence Raziel, and intently urges him -
Kain:
Be still, Raziel. See this.
The sky darkens, the wind begins to gust, and birds scatter from the clearing in alarm. A low, nearly sub-audible rumble swells, as though a massive storm is gathering.
Kain continues with some urgency -
Kain:
As Ariel dies, I am being born to take her place as Balance Guardian.
Such is my destiny.
Suddenly the entire clearing is rocked by an indescribable force -
A telepathic blast burns across the landscape with a thunderous rumble, and distorting waves of energy ripple across the clearing.
Kain visibly tenses as he absorbs the onslaught of this psychic attack. The Pillars, initially white and pristine, begin to crack and corrode as they turn grey with corruption.
Raziel:
...my god...
As the telepathic assault recedes, Kain begins to speak again -
Kain:
At the moment of my first cry, Ariel's beloved - the Guardian Nupraptor - finds her corpse.
Wracked with grief and tormented with suspicions of treachery, Nupraptor plunges into a madness which overflows and infects all of the Guardians, who are symbiotically bound. Including me.
The repercussions of Ariel's assassination were expertly calculated...
The entire Circle descends into madness, and I am tainted at the moment of my birth - instantly rendered incapable of fulfilling the role destiny has prepared for me.
Raziel:
Shall I show you the same mercy you showed the rest of the Circle, then? You blithely murdered them to restore their Pillars, yet your hand faltered when it came to the final sacrifice.
What makes you exempt, Kain? You're merely the last man standing.
Why condemn me for simply carrying out what you hadn't the courage to do yourself?
Kain:
Let's drop the moral posturing, shall we? We both know there's no altruism in this pursuit.
Your reckless indignation led you here - I counted on it.
Kain sees that Raziel is bristling at this insult.
Kain:
There's no shame in it, Raziel - revenge is motivation enough.
At least it's honest. Hate me, but do it honestly.
Kain resumes his account of Nosgoth's history -
Kain:
Thirty years hence, I am presented with a dilemma - let's call it a two-sided coin.
If the coin falls one way, I sacrifice myself and thus restore the Pillars.
But as the last surviving vampire in Nosgoth, this would mean the annihilation of our species. Moebius made sure of that.
If the coin lands on the reverse, I refuse the sacrifice and thus doom the Pillars to an eternity of collapse.
Either way, the game is rigged.
Raziel:
We agree then that the Pillars are crucial, and must be restored?
Kain:
Yes, Raziel - that's why we've come full-circle to this place.
Raziel:
So after all this, you make my case for me. To end this stalemate you must die so that new Guardians can be born.
Kain:
The Pillars don't belong to them, Raziel...
Kain gestures derisively, indicating humanity in general.
Kain:
...They belong to us.
Raziel: (disgusted)
Your arrogance is boundless, Kain.
Kain: (laughing softly)
There's a third option - a monumental secret, hidden in your very presence here. But it's a secret you have to discover for yourself.
Unearth your destiny, Raziel. It's all laid out for you here.
Raziel:
You said it yourself, Kain - there are only two sides to your coin.
Kain:
Apparently so. But suppose you throw a coin enough times...
...suppose one day, it lands on its edge.
Kain vanishes, leaving Raziel standing in the clearing alone

She was amazing for the Uncharted series, but TLOU was pretty much perfect so kinda glad she didn't there.
She won multiple Writers Guild Awards for UC2 and UC3.
Be interesting to see how she does with Star Wars.

Uncharted 1-3 wasnt perfect but the writing was still pretty good. 2 was Neil and Bruce. 1 and 3 was more Amy. Last of us was amazing. I'm over halfway through 4 so I'm holding judgement until it's done. I don't think uncharted is based on writing as much as set pieces though. At it's heart it is light and fun.

The voice of Ellie in the first game was done by Ashley Johnson. She plays the nerdy science/tech chick on Blindspot.
