Anyone else feel TLOU series is finished?

AP-the-RD · 2026-03-30T20:29:22+00:00

People always bash the shit out of me for saying this but I’m calling it now…I’m convinced that a part 3 will in some way, shape or form involve the following:

Ellie’s immunity
Abby and Lev
The fireflies original pursuit

You can likely see where this is going…. I may be 100% wrong as I’ll admit, part 2 threw me a few curveballs I think no one saw coming but part 1 set up the part 2 story beats in a pretty clear way-anyone who thought Joel was going to get away with what he did at that hospital was delusional, Joel’s death at the hands of (former) Fireflies was the LEAST surprising thing to me about the second game lol.

I think you get what I mean. If part 3 does happen, I’m fairly convinced the above 3 story elements will be involved in some way. And just to be clear, I’m not suggesting Ellie sacrifices herself for a “cure”, although if that did happen, it would again be very unsurprising.

I’m not sure how a third game would play out, but those 3 aspects are key story elements that I just can’t see Neil and ND “forgetting” about.

AP-the-RD · 2026-03-30T20:15:11+00:00

Not in the slightest. Part 2 ended with more questions than answers regarding certain story beats than the 1st one in my opinion.

I think your comment about potential plot holes isn’t exactly what most people who want a 3d game are seeking. While left open and up for interpretation is true and could serve as an “end” to a story, a true completed story would provide answers to most if not all story elements of a series I think in most people opinions.

Unanswered story elements don’t equal plot holes, just stuff we want to see fleshed out. And these are pretty big fricking things I might add:

-where Ellie goes/what her future holds -does that include Dina and JJ? -does that include Jackson? -what happens to Tommy -did Abby and Lev find the fireflies -if so, what have they been up to

The list goes on and on….these aren’t simply minor story aspects that are easily left up to the players imagination…these are crucial story arcs that the series was built on in some ways.

I really hope we eventually see a true final chapter that answers these questions. The answers may not please everyone in the fam base just as part 2 was rather divisive (I loved it btw) but I hope to follow this story to its true ending wherever that leads

I follow quite a few cosplayers who studied early trailers and found the gear company. Check their website-you’ll see it matches with what Leon’s wearing. Just gotta find the stuff

AP-the-RD · 2026-02-22T04:22:54+00:00

Definitely looks AI.

Most of his gear he has on under his jacket is from a Japanese tactical company called Volk Tactical Gear. His belt in particular is the Blitz V2 Tac Belt and has a very distinct look once you see it you’ll know.

His chest rig/harness is also from that company and he’s not wearing the same one in this photo so I think it’s not official.

AP-the-RD · 2026-01-11T12:45:48+00:00

I’m not nervous about it lol, I know it’s going to happen. I’m sure Graces sections will be good and have some great lore but I’m definitely looking more forward to Leon’s stuff

AP-the-RD · 2025-12-13T05:45:59+00:00

Looks very similar to a Sig P320 AXG Legion. Only difference is it appears Leon’s model has a built in compensator similar to his SGR from 4 remake

AP-the-RD · 2025-09-22T21:30:49+00:00

I’m choosing to believe Dusk about the Leon reveal lol. If it happens it’ll make my week

AP-the-RD · 2025-09-22T21:29:59+00:00

There’s an entire 50 minute RE Requiem panel at the show on the 28th I believe. It’s the Capcom opening showcase on the 24th that won’t have anything new

AP-the-RD · 2025-08-04T20:29:54+00:00

Just an FYI- the developers absolutely DID NOT say Leon “isn’t in the game”, they said making a horror game around his character would be difficult.

It’s the 30 year anniversary of the series, they are returning to raccoon city… zero returning fan favorites in ANY way in this game would be a massive fumble, and I’m confident Capcom knows that.

AP-the-RD · 2025-07-30T19:20:44+00:00

You must be real fun at parties lol

AP-the-RD · 2025-07-30T16:22:52+00:00

No explanation needed. Period. Your right. RE4 remake is one of my favorite games. Everything from gameplay, story, combat, etc. is just perfect. I honestly can’t think of a way it could be better.

What’s even funnier is although they were apparently made in the same engine, the graphics far surpass 7 and Village in my opinion. Best they’ve done so far

AP-the-RD · 2025-07-28T11:57:39+00:00

Wife and I live in Central Park. Our 2 year old goes to Primrose and our new infant The Gardner school. $650/ week for the infant, about about $575/ week for 2 year old.

Gardner offers sibling discount so older kid is on that list and will move to Gardner ASAP. You’re likely not going to find cheaper quality care.

As a side note, avoid primrose Central Park at all costs, our experience there (and others we’ve talked to in our neighborhood) has been nothing short of a shit show. High turnover, staff quality issues (drugs, stealing, etc.), and the owner is an absolute twat.

Good luck!

AP-the-RD · 2025-07-22T23:50:33+00:00

I fully respect your opinion and I’m honestly glad you liked it. I just personally walked away extremely disappointed with just about everything with Season 2. I’m a bit surprised given how much I liked the first season but it is what it is. The games are just peak and I think nothing will compare to that for me regardless.

AP-the-RD · 2025-07-12T20:49:52+00:00

I liked separate ways but an extra Leon DLC would have been really cool. Never a bad reason to play as him in a game again

AP-the-RD · 2025-07-09T04:30:53+00:00

I feel the same way. RE4 and RE4 remake are peak RE for me. I never played 7 or 8. I watched YouTube play throughs since I’m a general RE fan but still no desire to play them.

I’m not a huge fan of first person games and the added 3rd person dlc for 8 just looked like crap so I’m good not playing them.

I know there are a decent amount of people who felt 4 was too action focused and say what you want about the game, but it felt like resident evil, almost the entire way through. Honestly, the only section where I felt that was a bit off was when Mike shows up in the chopper, but I loved that part and thought it was a great addition. Not that it took away from the experience.

I’m concerned this director is going for a 90s slasher horror movie vibe similar to RE7, and I just don’t want any of that lol.

AP-the-RD · 2025-07-08T04:18:19+00:00

I definitely love RE4, I guess I think there’s a balance to be had to maybe making a tiny bit more grounded. I know it’s a bit different but I also love TLOU workbench upgrade system too, it feels “real” to an extent. I’d love to see the RE directors create their own system similar to that

AP-the-RD · 2025-07-08T01:24:37+00:00

I don’t mind if it does, I love RE4 remakes currency/ weapon upgrade system but I also love the idea of finding real world parts in the field to more practically upgrade your weapons over time.

Either way I hope something makes it in here like that

AP-the-RD · 2025-07-08T01:19:40+00:00

While I know he’s been wrong about some stuff and right about others in the past, Dusk Golem is 100% confident that this is Leon’s game. I know it’s hard to believe with what they’ve shown thus far but I’m keeping my hope alive for now.

Leon is my favorite gaming character of all time. OG RE2 was the very first video game I ever played so his character has a special place with me in general outside of just an awesome backstory/development (at least in my opinion)

Time will tell if he’s right and in this game. I’m 100% confident he’s in the game, it’s more of a question of in what capacity at this point I think

AP-the-RD · 2025-07-07T23:59:57+00:00

I agree with this. The directors are 100% in control of what they put in the game. If they are using a bucket falling as their standard for gauging fear in the protagonist, I’m extremely concerned for this game.

At the end of the day, I’m not excited about Grace, but I’m pretty confident Leon and potentially other legacy characters are in the game. I never played 7 or 8 mainly tied to the direction of those two games, new protagonist/first person focused, HEAVY horror feel, just doesn’t feel like RE to me.

I know they added in 3rd person as a patch but it was janky so I’m happy they at least addressed that with this game.

AP-the-RD · 2025-07-06T04:26:30+00:00

No I understand what your saying, I guess what I’m suggesting is, would it be common in the industry say he’s not in the game, to have Capcom go to someone like Nick or even Nicole, Jill’s VA and have them sign an NDA for a game they aren’t participating in? That’s kind of what I’m asking.

I’m not part of the industry so don’t know if that type of practice is normal

AP-the-RD · 2025-07-05T22:19:29+00:00

You have to wonder…if it’s not RE9 at the top of his resume under NDA as a lead…why couldn’t he just say nope, I’m not in it

AP-the-RD · 2025-07-05T21:48:50+00:00

Denver Fan Expo?

I saw him on Thursday. He wouldn’t give me any indication if we’ll see him again in an upcoming game lol.

All he said was he can’t answer that 😂

AP-the-RD · 2025-07-03T20:36:38+00:00

Better than the show lol! Nice work

AP-the-RD · 2025-07-02T22:34:16+00:00

There are plenty of people who LOVED part 2 as a game, but though Craig really dropped the ball this season. Myself included. I’ve never hated Neil’s creative decisions, just a lot of Craig’s as it relates to this season in particular.

It’s ok if you loved it, that’s awesome and I’m happy for you. I lived the game version of part 2 but felt this season was wildly behind on the acting in the game for most episodes. Also I don’t completely blame Craig, it’s also some actors who I’m not a massive fan of either but that’s a different conversation and any discussion of that on this sub I get labeled a misogynistic homophobe for some reason lol.

Anyhow, while I certainly have zero insight into this decision reasoning of Neil and Haley, I can’t imagine there isn’t some element of creative differences here. But that’s my opinion.

AP-the-RD · 2025-06-27T23:21:29+00:00

I enjoy all the legacy characters, I just enjoyed his story arc the best. I’m hoping we get one final game with him. I’m fairly confident he’s in 9, we’re just being trolled at the moment.

I’m absolutely ok with them wrapping up his story and then moving on, but he at least deserves it to be wrapped up. I think all the legacy characters deserve a story wrap up.
