welcome to one of the coolest days of my life because
we're gonna be unboxing the press edition of the last of us two
this is so exciting
okay so i'm currently playing through
the game i haven't looked at this too much because i wanted it to
be just a real treat and a real surprise
this thing is huge uh
i don't think i can oh i can't oh i'm so
strong this is amazing
this is the last of us part two press edition
there's only 200 of these in the wild and i'm
so excited to unbox it but also just to
share it with you guys this is insane i'm like blown away that they sent us one of
these so as you can see the box is kind of a old gun case sort
of thing it's really nice the styling of it on the back we have our number 169 out
of 200 i don't know if that's just lucky but uh i think we're the right people to
get the 69 one let's see what it looks like inside
this is friggin sweet this honestly blows my expectations away i thought it
was just gonna be like styrofoam and a bunch of stuff but the little
detail of this moss and the wood chips and the rust and the tattoo that ellie
has in this game this is amazing this is one of the
coolest things i've ever seen in my life i'm beyond put away i mean
this is my first unboxing of a press edition of a video game so i don't know
how this compares to other ones but there is so much stuff in here
so first we have a little metal plate
it's kind of a message from the game director neil druckmann disclosing we
got it for free thank you naughty dog you're the coolest
that's pretty sweet let's go for these pins next so we got some pretty sweet little pins
this game is unreal it's a technical wonder and i think there's a
really interesting discussion going online about what's the value of fun and
entertainment in a video game versus kind of more dark stuff so i think it's really
important for people to play and engage with that discussion and so i encourage you to go play i'm having an
amazing time playing this game it's so much fun my girlfriend actually made me stop
playing when she had to leave because she's into it and she doesn't like video games so it's like a movie
it's like real life it's incredible technically i've never seen a
game like this it blows me away what's next let's see what this is
oh a little jacket patch last of us part
two oh a bracelet
i think this is one of the friendship bracelets in the game you know what i'm
gonna wear this for the rest of the video maybe i'm not i'm not smart enough to
figure out how to do this
i'm gonna let it limpy uh rest on my wrist until it falls off
all right let's look at these headphones moderately comfortable they're like
stiff the ear cushions aren't super comfortable but i think the point is
more the branding well last of us part two
branding the color and all this stuff presumably
these are similar to the playstation gold headphones which are pretty good
for the price part of the tattoo detailing in there that's nice that's real nice
a little angry ellie if you haven't heard the theme of this game is
hatred and so you can imagine how how dark
it gets
it's a little vinyl that's really cool unfortunately we don't have a record
player so i'm just gonna have to imagine what it sounds like well if you
guys don't know there's actually quite a bit of music in the game you can actually pick up a guitar at many
different places and play some pretty elaborate stuff there's some pretty funny youtube videos
of people playing real pop songs with the last of us two guitars so
that's cool that they've included music the purpose in loss
and desolation road i'm not sure which one those are but there's
kind of a song that keeps repeating in the game that different characters sing so i'm imagining it's that one
i'm not going for the game yet let's see what this is
this is a big okay
a little ribbon thing my
last of us themed weapon eviscerating people
oh some kind of backpack oh i recognize this pin from the game
it's nice when companies make merch
products that aren't like last of us 2 or
something crazy where you wouldn't ever want to wear it it's cool people that
know what that is they know what that is we also have our wireless dongle for the
headset a charging cabler
and
an aux cable if you want to plug it in directly to the controller what should
we do next
it's actually like it's been in moss like it's been overgrown
this is nice it's a dualshock 4. it's pretty subtle this is nice it's got the
fern part of the tattoo here it's got the branding on the touch
um but otherwise it's a dualshock 4. i like this controller i'm excited to see
what they do next gen but it's pretty nice art book next
whoa there's more stuff under there oh my gosh it just keeps giving
cool i think these are just little stickers
this is so fun yeah just ellie's tattoo
sticker naughty dog last of us stickers okay
let's look at these art books the last of us part two
this game is a beautiful looking game and so i'm genuinely excited to see what
they did with the art the art book's a little small but i mean
it's packaged in here so i can't complain if i was gonna like leave it on my coffee
table or something i'd want it to be a little bit bigger but the the print quality is fairly high
uh and it's just nice to have you know it's like a nice little thing you can tuck away
and then if someone really loves the last of us maybe you can just like give it to them or whatever
last of us part two okay this feels like a cd oh no not a cd oh
another message from neil druckmann how much stuff is there in this thing this
is insane
oh interesting so these are like wooden
guitar picks they're definitely decorative because
they're like wood they wouldn't hold up to play like i think against the metal
strings they would deteriorate pretty quick but they're nice they feel good uh
they're cool they're just like a nice little decoration thing again ellie's tattoo
um seems to be the theme of the branding ooh this is the biggest box yet
what is this oh i think i know what this is
this thing's huge holy smokes
this is so cool okay
oh gosh how do i get it out of here
oh it smells good i don't know it smells good but it does
it's that ellie playing the guitar figure holy smokes
wow the detail on this thing if you don't know ellie is one of the main
characters in the first game uh she was bitten and didn't turn into a
zombie which is one of a kind so the whole point of the first game is you're trying to get her
to a place where they can you take a cure from her so she has a whole
difficult past there's wood green in the plastic the clothing has this incredible
texture and the blood is a different paint on top of it
the base is okay i mean i don't know statues that well i guess but this
is incredible the paint job is flawless there's so much detail like the blood on
the backpack from where the arrows would have had blood there's a little blood on the machete
it's really lovely yeah we're gonna have this on a set
somewhere i tell you what i tell you what ellie okay and finally this is a steel box
version of the game so you have ellie on the front and abby on the back and i can't say too
much i just don't want to spoil it for you guys just go ahead and play it we have two discs one looks like
a data disc and one like the regular game let me know in the comments below
if you buy physical versions and why or if you buy digital and why
this is pretty amazing it has like everything you can possibly get from the game
if i was gonna have one thing for myself i think i
was most impressed with the statue and the backpack honestly like it's kind of
cool that i just have a neat little backpack that is a little
nerdy but just not too nerdy i guess now that we've unboxed everything why don't we play the game
for a bit uh and see how that looks so now i'm
playing the last of us too with my fancy new remotes and my fancy
new headphones i think it's one of those headphones that you're not gonna buy and if you can
buy nicer ones but they're okay uh if i had them at home i think they
would hang up on a pedestal just to look cool this game looks unreal unfortunately
because we're recording to an elgato there's no HDR but
if you have a ps4 pro and an HDR tv
this game looks insane so on ps4 pro
runs at 1440p locked 30 there's a few dips and on
regular ps4 it's just 1080p 30 and it's
actually more consistent this is one of the best good looking games i've ever seen the detail the lighting
there's no ray tracing but naughty dog has worked to kind of fake it where if
you walk through an area that's like all red leaves or all green
leaves like it'll kind of look like it's bouncing your character will have a cast
it's the little things we've had kind of footsteps and snow for a long time or
mud and characters getting wet but this game
has just a technical proficiency and an attention to detail that i haven't seen
executed so well before man i can't wait
if there's ever a pc port of this or i mean even just the next gen version
that'll actually run at 60 frames oh buddy i am so lucky that i got to unbox
this guys i'm really happy that i got to share it with you guys i mean i've never seen a press box that
cool i've blown away i didn't know that things like this existed so i'm happy that we
got to do this together you know you and me together you're me thanks for watching
