As a Pittsburgh native, I must say I appreciate the game developers making certain Pittsburgh neighborhoods look less overgrown in the post-apocalypse than they are in real life. Making us look better than we are out here

It's crazy how much they put into the game from reality. I figured they'd hit on the go-to Pittsburgh iconography (like the bridges), but having so many actual buildings and roads adapted is so neat. It wasn't until watching this that I realized I've driven right by places they'd been.

I've seen some comparison videos before, but these two videos you made are by far the best ones. You name the landmarks, show them, and how they were moved, it's informative. And should I ever go there, at least I have some locations to visit and see thanks to this video! Really wish there will be more for the rest of the game (SLC, Jackson, Lincoln, even if they're probably much different from their real life counterpart). And I hope you'll make a big one (or a series) for Seattle in Part 2, because apart from the obvious comparisons with photos on other channels, no one is comparing the geography like you do, and I really need to understand how Seattle works in the game because when looking at a map, I just don't get how the Seraphites island works and why the Space Needle is on it, especially when you start on the island you can see the city in the distance, and the angle doesn't seem to match. And a smaller one about Santa Barbara would be great too :) You just gained a subscriber!

Thank you so much for the encouragement! Yes, I plan to finish showing off the rest of TLOU and TLOU2, and I'm eager to show how they shifted chunks of Seattle around. Stay tuned! I'm currently wrapping up an hour long video showing how the Unova region in Pokemon Balck and White compares to NYC, and then I plan to hop back over to TLOU ✌️
@VelvetVoice6 ай бұрын
Yep, ‘creative licence’ very much in full effect, that! Much like they did (as displayed here) with Pittsburgh’s buildings, Naughty Dog took several liberties with structural locations, not least of all with the Space Needle - I think it’s mentioned either in the ‘Grounded II’ documentary or the developers’ in-game commentary for the Remastered edition of Part II.

yo man just a thing i've noticed, while the elliott suburbs look very similar to the one in game, wouldn't they actually end up north of Allegheny river? Like you've said, the Allegheny river flows northeast, and the perspective from the place where joel wakes up after being saved by henry matches up with them being north. If they were south of the ohio river the bridge would be to the left and downtown to the right. So maybe the Elliott suburbs were moved to the north?

That's right. In the post-interview for that episode, they mention that Kansas City looked more like the city they were shooting in Canada, so they just changed it for the show. However, it also makes sense from a logistics point of view - it's less distance that Joel and Ellie would have to walk

@SmooviesTV Жыл бұрын
I think the show brings a lot of new interesting ideas to the series. The game had a limited amount of time to tell a story because it needs to focus on gameplay, but with a show, they have more time to explore and go deeper. However, I do think that a handful of 1:1 cutscene moments were better in the game (I enjoy how Troy says "I'm sure you'll figure it out" more than Pedro, and several others), but that might just be my 10-year bias
