It appears that The Last of Us 2 was supposed to contain an interactive minigame, but due to the behavior of one of the players during the testing phase, the decision was made to remove it and replace it with another minigame.
according to observations Lead Environmental Artist at Studio Naughty Dog, Anthony VaccaroHe said there should be a mini-game where we would see “Owen” drawing “my dad,” and after he started drawing his external features, the task would be given to the player to draw the painting.
However, during the testing phase, one of the players drew a Nazi symbol, which angered the developers and led them to remove the game entirely from the final version.
Naughty Dog Studio decided, after this incident, to replace the drawing game with the archery game that is currently in the game.
In addition to the archery minigame, there was also a guitar game that gave players the opportunity to play one of the game's instruments. And if it weren't for this player's mistake during the drawing game's testing period, there would have been an opportunity to add it to the game, perhaps contributing to a new level of fun.
In other news, The Last of Us 2 director said Neil Druckmann Recently, they've been the ones making the decision to work on the third installment, while Sony allows them to do so without any pressure. He emphasized that if the team feels the second installment's ending is sufficient, then there won't be a new installment, and they can be satisfied with that ending.
This statement did not put an end to the fate of the game, as many reports emerged that spoke from informed sources that the third part was already in development.
Furthermore, despite Druckmann's statements that the Uncharted game is over, one of Sony's promotional videos for upcoming and future PlayStation games hinted through quick scenes from the game that they appear to be adapted from the series, while many believe it is Uncharted 5, which will star Nathan Drake's daughter, more details can be found in this report.
Anyway, do you think removing the graphic game from The Last of Us 2 is a correct step for the developer after this behavior from one of the players?
