The Last of Us (HBO) TV Show • Page 119

Yeah I don't think it means anything at this point. Mesc from the VG thread has connections/works in the game industry said it got pushed to the back burner because they had people come over from the Factions game when it got canceled, and they scrapped some stuff after those devs brought in new ideas. They switched their focus to Intergalactic for now.

They do have two development teams now though so I'm sure both games are being worked on simultaneously and with more resources being put into the latter currently.

 

Yeah, I just don’t see them not making Part III at this point. He’s probably just playing coy since confirmation was never officially official, and the presumed delays.

 

I honestly am not sure we'll get part 3 and if the gaming world throws the tantrum it's starting throw about Intergalactic, I could see Neil just saying fuck it. He seems like a pretty sensitive person who lets discourse get to him, so he may have just wanted to do something new before going back to it... but yea, the trolls / bigots / general morons are out crying DEI about the next game from a very limited teaser trailer so idk... I get the feeling he may just decide to move on to something else. Maybe TV or movies full time.

 

I mean to be fair Laura getting death threats was I’m sure hard for everyone involved

 

Yeah the outrage for Part 2 was insane. The special footage on the Directors Cut PS5 release of Part 2 seemed to indicate that they were in planning stages for Part 3 though, so I'm inclined to believe it'll eventually come. When that is, who knows. We weren't gonna get a Part 2 because Neil wasn't 100% in on the story they wanted to put out. So with him working on Intergalactic I feel it'll be a while for sure, and only if Neil feels there IS a story worth exploring for Part 3. He's not gonna put out some slop just because we want it, he wants the story to make sense and be worth telling.
