The Last of Us 2 PAX East demo will give players an hour to patrol with Ellie and Dina

The Last of Us 2 PAX East demo is bringing enough game to justify the struggle for a demo booth slot.
Naughty Dog revealed today that it will bring an hour-long segment of The Last of Us 2 gameplay to the Boston convention: from February 27 to March 1, attendees will be able to try out a section of the game called "Patrol". This is the part of the game where Ellie and her girlfriend Dina head out of their home town of Jackson to clear out infected in the surrounding area - it sounds similar to the slice we got to try in our The Last of Us 2 hands-on preview.
Hour-long public demos for just about any game, let alone one as hotly anticipated as The Last of Us 2, are almost unheard of. It's a cool choice given its deliberate pace and the little bit of story Naughty Dog wants to reveal, though it does mean demo slots will likely be an extremely hot commodity. Your best bet at getting in will be to use the Experience PlayStation mobile app, as Naughty Dog says it will make new appointments available each day of the show. You might be able to grab a spot just by dashing to the front of the line as soon as the convention center's doors open, but no guarantees.
On top of it being the site of the last big show in North America before the game comes out, Boston is also where The Last of Us begins in proper (after a prologue in Texas). On top of that, it's where Naughty Dog first let fans play the original game back at PAX East 2013.
Naughty Dog has also confirmed that it's working with suppliers and retailers to make more copies of The Last of Us 2: Ellie Edition available - check out our guide on how to pre-order The Last of Us 2 for more details.

Yakuza 5 Review

 The huge Yakuza 5 arrives remastered and closes the trilogy The Yakuza Remastered Collection on PS4, a console that already has all the main saga.      With Yakuza 5 Remastered , Sega brings the entire main series to PlayStation 4, from the prequel Yakuza 0 to the airs of change that Yakuza brings : Like a Dragon , which we will talk more about this year. Fans, new or veteran, can relive the adventures of Kazuma Kiryu with remakes, remasters and native deliveries of PS4, and Yakuza 5 closes The Yakuza Remastered Collection , the physical edition with the Yakuza of PS3 - Yakuza 3, 4 and 5 - . We only miss the spin-offs , but few apologies remain to discover this saga of brawler action and touches of role. Yakuza 5 arrived in the final stretch of PlayStation 3, in Japan in 2012. Yakuza had not reaped the popularity it has today, still moderate but enough for Sega to trust his success even in the West. Its original launch was delayed for years, even doub...

Yakuza 5 Has One Of The Best Opening Chapters; Remaster Is Out Now On PS4

Kiryu didn't choose the yakuza life, the yakuza life chose him. A couple years ago, I got drawn into Kazuma Kiryu's world, the world of Yakuza games, being completely enamored by charismatic characters and the allure of rowdy city streets. The series' pitch-perfect blend of gripping melodrama and absurdist humor is as consistent as kindhearted tough-guy Kazuma Kiryu getting suckered into his former gang's illicit business. With Yakuza 5 Remastered out now, alongside the whole Yakuza Remastered Collection, the entire saga is now playable on PlayStation 4. Each entry was memorable in its own right, but Yakuza 5's opening chapter is the one that will forever be burnt into my memory. On a calm winter night in Fukuoka, about 700 miles from his home turf of Kamurocho in Tokyo, Kiryu's chaotic life is shown to have seemingly settled down again. He's a cab driver assuming a new identity under a different name, appearing to have put decades of his life ...
