I met Laura Bailey at ECCC. I told her I loved Abby and it wasn't fair how she was treated when part 2 came out. To quickly lighten the mood, I told her the most cathartic part of the game was finding former Seattle employers taken out by the apocalypse.

in grounded 2 you can see LB with tears falling as she's watching AJ work that scene in the chalet. that always stuck with me, she seems to be an incredibly empathetic person along with being so talented. i hope she and her family feel more peace now. i have a lot of disgust for the people who harassed her/the devs/the rest of the cast

People love to criticize games but they do not realize how much work goes into making them; this is a cool behind the scenes.

u/EccentricMeat 11h ago
A lot of games you can play and easily forget how much work they take to create. The Last of Us (both 1 and 2) really makes you feel and appreciate how much work went into them.

Maybe but for me this game series has ruined most others for me. I've played a lot of people's best rated games and they too often sound like the actors are never in the room together. It feels different when they're not reacting to each other.

Both Laura and Ashley are incredible in this game. Hope to see them in another project again soon.(expect for critical role obvs)

Naughty Dog has been mo-caping since Uncharted 1. This isn't new

Not everyone lives and breaths videogames. Great interpersonal skills.

You don't need to "live and breathe" video games to know games these days are mo-capped. At least triple A games. Especially Sony which this subreddit is about with TLOU

I don’t really care that you’re being a bit of a dick, it’s more frustrating that you can’t seem to grasp why not everyone who plays video games would automatically know that motion capture is used in The Last Of Us II. I bought a PlayStation during Covid for the first time since the early 2000’s and wouldn’t have known what a AAA game or mocap even was. You don’t learn that stuff until you start reading about game related stuff online, which isn’t something every person who plays games does.. Idiots who think they’re clever are the worst.

It’s one thing to act in a realistic environment with regular clothing and realistic props etc. But to act this well wearing funny outfits in a brightly lit studio wearing a giant rig on your head—THAT is talent.

Oh ffs, the BTS just broke me again and I've finished the game 3 times. Dang it!

u/bugdiver050 14h ago
The number of people who are still so salty about this. I absolutely loved both games. Sure, seeing Joel go like that was heart-wrenching, but the emotions it got loose in people proves it was a good scene.

A lot of people are hating on Naughty Dog these days, but we should all agree that this game has phenomenal acting and music, and that next space thing they’re doing will at least have that

Laura is so freaking talented. Genuinely can't believe she's not tapped for more silver screen stuff.

u/Asleep-Ad9435 16h ago
Laura Bailey is really talented she did an amazing work, but Abby is a psychopath

u/Nathaniel-Prime 15h ago
That's a sign of good acting right there, they get even their fans to hate their character.

I ended up in the harry potter sub recently, and i saw a post about umbridge
saying "What a brilliant actress for making me absolutely want to kill her character" it gave me a chuckle

u/Asleep-Ad9435 4h ago
Yeah I totally agree she knows she'll be hated for that but she did it anyway

Laura Bailey's vulnerability during that scene really made it more real.
Honestly, the fact she was crying when they brought Ashely Johnson in for her scene made it so much more raw. Laura Bailey's personal feels about her friends translated so well to Abby's rage, dissatisfaction, and pain during both scenes.

Op, spoiler tag, please!
Edit: just trying to not spoil it for people, idk why yall gotta hate and downvote But cool video though, nice to see how they made it in real life, how they actually have to act it out

u/that_majestictoad 15h ago
Yeah seriously I don't get why you're being downvoted. A lack of a spoiler tag was the first thing I thought of too.
I get the game isn't new and most people here I imagine know what happens/happened but there are new people who might be spoiled by this especially if they're trying to avoid spoilers for the game or TV show.
A simple spoiler tag isn't some outlandish request.

u/Individual_Line_4295 15h ago
My thoughts exactly, thank you. I just don’t want to ruin it for people, like many people are only fans of the show, they have no clue what’s coming. For people like you and me, we probably played the game years ago, I’m just looking out for others. It isn’t that much of a request to put a spoiler tag, especially for the biggest spoiler of the entire game lol

Great game, great story. Abby sucks, team Joel/ Ellie. Hopefully part three brings the same kind of emotions.

"Team Joel/Ellie"
Are you claiming a sports team like this is fucking Twilight? what are you, fourteen?

u/Bearloom 19h ago
I'm fully team Lauravis, but it seems a strange choice to have both Colleen and Laura do mocap work for Abby, and to base Abby's face on Jocelyn but then have to adjust to use Laura's mouth movements.
I get what they were going for, but I think they used too much reference material.

What exactly were they “going for”? The process you described is exactly how nearly all video games are done these days.

After everything Joel did in the first game, you really didn't expect anyone to come after him?

the dumbest scene in the game

u/quirk-the-kenku "Okay." 16h ago
What is dumb about it? Joel killed many, many people through his life. You wouldn’t think at least one person related to them wouldn’t have come after him??

Right!? I mean I appreciate the work put into it but it was so foul. Laura did her best for the money I guess.
