00:03 This is the longest, most ambitious game
00:16 in the studio's history.
00:18 That's a big challenge to take on.
00:20 The Last of Us was this beloved game
00:29 that won all these awards.
00:31 So many people were like, Last of Us 1 is perfect.
00:34 They shouldn't make a sequel.
00:37 My hope is it's going to make the first game even greater.
00:40 That's the thing I love about the Beginning of a Project.
00:42 It's like it's all optimism.
00:43 This is going to be the game that I always
00:45 dreamed about making.
00:47 Let's do something new.
00:48 Let's take risks.
00:49 Let's kill Joel right away.
00:50 Let's just kill him.
00:51 I was like, what?
00:52 Yeah, let's [BLEEP] do it.
00:54 You're going to piss a lot of people off.
00:55 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:00 The scope on this game is extraordinary.
01:02 I'm confident in the game if we finish it.
01:05 I'll be frank, it's not looking great.
01:07 I'm feeling burned out.
01:09 I can't crunch like I used to.
01:11 We started having these leaks.
01:18 It was awful.
01:19 There were a lot of days where I would just cry.
01:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:23 And then there's these rumblings of this pandemic.
01:28 Are people going to want to play a game that
01:30 takes place in a pandemic when there's a real pandemic?
01:32 Are we going to finish this game?
01:37 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:40 It's a marathon.
01:42 It's not a sprint.
01:45 Keep the faith.
01:48 When we come together, when we do this thing
01:50 that people outside the studio talk about,
01:51 like this Naughty Dog magic, this is what it looks like.
01:53 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:57 Or, or, Joe doesn't die.
02:06 [LAUGHTER]
02:08 So then what happens is all of us become friends.
02:11 [BELL RINGING]
02:13 Clear.
