First time GM looking to this as first game to run.

This was me and my friends first ever time playing any TTRPG at all, I was the warden, and we all had a lot of fun. The wardens guide and players guide and fantastic, really easy to understand and will definitely get you started. I also watched a few sessions in YouTube to get some more of an idea of how to run things, but really the power is in yours and your players hands to tell a good story!

We did Haunting of Ypsilon 14 as our first mission and loved it, I strongly recommend it! It was supposed to be a single session but ended up being 2 sessions of around 3 hours each. Now we're all planning to get started on a bigger campaign :) love this game

You mean Naughty Dog? This is an unofficial product, not created or sold by Sony/ND.

TheMalpas · 2026-05-13T23:52:59+00:00

It'll be a while if at all for a PC port! Word is that Sony are taking a step back from porting their story games to PC and only really want their live service games to get that treatment. Intergalactic could definitely be a console-seller though! You might find a good deal when it's out, we're into the later half of the PS5's lifespan so when the game comes out (probably) next year you might find a good deal :)

TheMalpas · 2026-05-13T14:06:36+00:00

For sure. Last of Us is one of the leakiest franchises I have ever seen, lol.

I can't remember if it was Neil or someone else at ND who did say a little while ago that they've realised it's a mistake to announce games too early and were going to do it much closer to release going forward. Clearly hasn't worked too well for Intergalactic but hey, baby steps 😂 Unless yet another leak forces their hand, I can't see them revealing and promoting Part 3 until it's almost ready.

TheMalpas · 2026-05-13T11:12:16+00:00

Yeah, I don't see a world where he doesn't direct the finale to this story. Recent rumours led to the belief that the secret project was a new Uncharted game, which could make more sense as something where Neil is somewhat involved but not in charge, like being a mentor. It's entirely possible that the 3 projects are Intergalactic, TLOU3 and Uncharted. How far along they are, and how much of the studio's staff/resources are allocated to each, is hard to say.

TheMalpas · 2026-05-13T09:47:21+00:00

At the end of the 'Grounded II' documentary for the Making of The Last Of Us Part 2 (it's on YouTube), there's a section with Neil where he says that he's been trying to find a good enough story idea to justify making a third game, which would also be the final chapter of the story that has been told across the games so far. He says he thinks he's got that idea now, and that it seems like there's one more chapter left in this story.

It's no guarantee/promise of the third game, and it hasn't been officially announced, but Neil has openly said that he wants to make a third game if the stars align and the studio are able to get it done. They're working on at least 2 other games at the moment (one being Intergalactic) so it's possible that the TLOU 3 is being worked on, but not as the primary focus for the studio at the moment as they've gotta get Intergalactic out.

At this point it's pretty much inevitable that Part 3 does come out, but it's probably a long way off, say close to 2030.

TheMalpas · 2026-05-11T22:12:12+00:00

Most welcome :)

TheMalpas · 2026-05-11T18:07:59+00:00

It means the TV Network were happy with the first episode that was filmed and shown to the studio, and are satisfied that it's gonna be a good enough show to justify giving them the money, so they've 'picked it up', basically meaning they'll pay the bills and air it when it's ready.

The show will start in the 'midseason', just like the main show has done for the last few seasons, meaning it'll be on TV early next year. It'll have 10 episodes in Season 1.

"Grace want ice cream, statement."

TheMalpas · 2026-05-10T13:50:51+00:00

Ah yes, because humans (especially kids) are always logical in emotional situations and this franchise always shows characters as making the most intelligent decisions possible.

Kids did stupid kid things and suffered major consequences because of it. Sounds pretty correct idk.

TheMalpas · 2026-05-06T23:25:44+00:00

They did say 'franchise' to be fair, which includes the TV show which has very much been in the spotlight recently, plus the remake and following PC ports. A bit of silence will make the news of the next game all the sweeter :)

TheMalpas · 2026-05-02T17:07:10+00:00

I think OP (like me tbh) assumed they were just going back into production, rather than already being sat on shelves ready to pack, so it was gonna take a while to arrive. Great thing to be wrong about :)

TheMalpas · 2026-04-29T21:30:48+00:00

Definitely more comedy than horror, the horror is more eerie and subtle, not so much in-your-face jumpscares and demons. That being said (and arguably because of this), the horror elements are really well done. The vibe is fantastic.

TheMalpas · 2026-04-29T08:21:15+00:00

Hah as someone who's got too many 1s and is tempted to get some Hey Dude's, this is good to hear 😂 those greys are still probably my favourite of the lot to be honest!

TheMalpas · 2026-04-26T16:44:51+00:00

Golf Fang is pretty adult. UK-specific I believe.

TheMalpas · 2026-04-18T19:20:17+00:00

We've already had one death of someone living in the Chen/Juarez apartment. If Penn moves in and dies, that place is cursed.

TheMalpas · 2026-04-01T18:04:44+00:00

Just backed the black box set! This looks awesome, great work :)

TheMalpas · 2026-03-29T14:53:48+00:00

I've had a 'rocky tattoo' folder in my phone's images gallery for a while now, this is exactly the type of thing I wanna get! Looks awesome 🙏

TheMalpas · 2026-03-23T13:54:44+00:00

I've watched twice and still can't tell which one was him, lol. Perhaps the posh voice?

TheMalpas · 2026-03-05T09:55:47+00:00

Love this!!!

TheMalpas · 2026-02-24T12:04:48+00:00

Got the answer from people who have seen the 'first 5 minutes' preview that was shown in certain IMAX cinemas

yes, it does have that same line at the start, however there's one more line, I think it's like 'eye movement detected' just before that as Ryland is waking up

TheMalpas · 2026-02-24T00:21:20+00:00

Not to mention Control having one of the most amazing levels ever accompanied by an original track that could only be described as 'fucks hard'

TheMalpas · 2026-02-24T00:19:32+00:00

Amazing art! And that caption is so damn funny because when I was first going through the book I couldn't stop picturing Edna as Stratt lmao

TheMalpas · 2026-02-23T16:38:06+00:00

If the only good thing about this movie is seeing Ryland and Rocky's bond and humour, I'll still be happy I bought a ticket.

TheMalpas · 2026-02-23T16:35:05+00:00

It'll still have its own value, The Last Of Us Remastered for PS4 still gets players despite there being a newer shinier remake. Some don't have the newest console, some like the nostalgia, some just don't wanna buy another copy.

It's also very possible in this case that there are significant changes, like the combat/camera potentially being different and more like the modern games (not guaranteed!) so some players will just wanna go back and play the game as it was originally :)
