The Last of Us 2 Is 'One of the Greatest Games Ever Made' Say Avengers Endgame Directors​

Anthony and Joe Russo, best known as directors of blockbuster films like Avengers: Endgame, have stated The Last of Us: Part II as "one of the greatest games ever made".

The quote comes from a recent IGN video in which the pair is presented with various chase sequences from video games, and asked to rate them. When Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's Madagascar chase is shown, Joe calls the series "one of the best action gaming franchises of all time".

Later in the video, The Last of Us 2's hospital sequence in which you encounter that boss is presented. Again, Joe is quick to praise the game, calling it "one of the greatest games ever made" and saying the camerawork is "a page out of [Steven] Spielberg's playbook". It shouldn't come as much of a surprise that Hollywood directors are impressed with what are some of the most cinematic, movie-inspired titles available, but it's always nice to hear it every now and then. Other games shown in the video include Resident Evil Village, Crash Bandicoot 4, and It Takes Two, but it's Naughty Dog's post-apocalyptic sequel that impresses the Russo brothers most.

In related news, The Last of Us is being adapted for TV by PlayStation Productions and HBO, and star Bella Ramsey has called it "very respectful of the game" in a recent interview.

Is it worth getting the PS5 just for the last of us 2? I hear the game is really good. I’d also probably okay other titles like spider man and such.

Would be my first PS since the PsOne. Always had Xboxes - but the games on PS look good these days.

Personally I think this generation it pays to have both esp with both now having subscription services,

If you have PS5 as primary it pays to also get a Series S
If you have a Series X as primary it pays to also get a PS5 DE

Then instead of buying all the games you watch https://platprices.com/psplus/extra/?userregion=ZA or https://gamepassport.net/ on games you wanna play, sub for that month and play them.

I have the Xbox one S. I have no intention of getting the newer ones. But I’ve been eyeing up a PS5 for awhile now - was going to get one and then stock levels were non existent.

Not sure if they are any better now.

Thanks for the info!
 
So with me changing my PS Plus to Extra, I might need some more storage space for PS5 games.
What is the latest on which is the best M.2 SSD expansion drive to get?

Personally, I'm just using a simple 3TB WD USB3 External for my PS4 games & storage.

But if you wanna go internal, you cant go wrong with WD Black SM850 or Samsung 980

Yeah, I have a 4Tb external for my PS4 games ... but with screen clips for PUBG, and the increasing amount of PS5 games, that 800Gb runs dry very quickly.
Can actually get the Firecuda 530 1Tb with heatsink for a decent R3200
 
When you guys reckon we might see a "slim" / second iteration model of PS5? I have a Series X but might want to double dip down the line.

Was able to buy my PS5 on the 20th of June 2022.

Would like to get more space, but getting a N64 console into South Efrica was more important.

I now see the same link has it as out of stock on Takealot but price is R14 499, was R11 999
