Reposting my comments from the PS4 thread, but i'm looking forward to this even though I'm one of the few who seemed to not think that much of the first game. One of the best stories i've played in a video game, but I thought the gameplay was such a slog to get through in the middle. Looks like it will be awhile though.

The first one was pretty much perfect and didn't need a sequel. But if they have a good story to tell then bring it on!

Loved the characters and story of The Last of Us (PS3) but won't be buying a PS4 just for one game. I'm a bit disappointed I won't see the end of this saga...

They are calling it a soft reboot with the new game play. Hence why it's not called GoW 4. But yes, story wise it takes place after GoW 3.

I know I need to finish the first. Like other games I got going only to be sidetracked when something else came out. I have no idea where I am in the story since I've avoided all help and walkthrus.

I bought a PS3 to play the original, and I'll likely use the sequel as an excuse to buy a PS4.

I ordered the Collector's Edition this afternoon for $135 with GCU. The backpack is probably worth the extra $60/$48 with GCU, but I don't need it. Also it wasn't available at Best Buy to order (either that or it sold out immediately)

I never finished the first one and have made up my mind I'm going to start over from scratch and play thru that instead of getting more games. I already cancelled Ghost Recon: Breakpoint...doesn't feel like Wildlands II but may pick up The Outer Worlds. Looks like TLofU-II will be worth the wait.....

EDIT: I just noticed that my preorder prices are a little fucked up. My collector's edition price w/ GCU is $127.99 (not $135.99) and my Ellie Edition is $199.99 (not $183.99 like it should be). I'm wonding how to get that fixed...

I'm very surprised Sony is releasing this ~6months before the PS5 drops. I thought this would be a release day game to showcase the PS5 for sure.

The original game did the same thing. Came out in June on PS3 and then the PS4 released a few months later in November.

They still have quarterly financial goals to hit.
I'm cautiously optimistic here. I didn't care for TLOU but will give it another shot before this launches, maybe it'll click.

There's a new, free theme that's available in the PSN store.

I wound up ordering the special edition. I have no need for statues or backpacks.
Anyway, I'm glad these release dates are being announced. I can use of my GCU before it expires in December.
