The game leaves you in the dark as Abby for a while is largely because it creates tension by -skillfully; You do not understand how Abby relates to the main story, Joel or Eli for quite a long time, but because you play As its characterIt is in your interest to keep her alive. However, if you find out what an endgame abby, you may want you to allow her to die at the hands of the infected Horde … But again, the show changes the perspective with the new take the material.

If you no Playing the game, it may seem really a small setting for the second season “last of us”. Why is it important that Abby and her crew are some of the first people we see in the premiere of 2 season, and why is it important that we know that Abby Field on Joel’s shows, but it remains a mystery in the game?

These two different approaches to the same story give one perfect example of how to tailor something like a video game for a small screen. Having control the Player Abby without information at the beginning of the game, it increases the intrigue around her character, forcing the players to guess who she is, why she is even relevant and empathizes with her while the tension is built. A perfect The way to express that the tension in the show is to find the audience immediately that Joel is at the intersection of Abby for the murder of his father; So, we Know that he is threatened but he There is no idea – and also Eli, who feels at odds with his improvised father’s figure after the jump, which is serious about the season of “the last of us”.

The fact that Joel is prey instead of the predator for the first episode “last of us” 2 season – especially considering that the last shot is Abby and her gang, which looks at Jackson’s New Year’s celebrations – creates a confrontation between him and Abbi, though we don’t know when he comes to mind. So what is the intention of this change? Fortunately we do Know why the show has switched things.

During the press conference in which the 2nd “Last of Us”, the show -Rouner Neil Przakman told about why they made this change, and again, it really came down to the creation of the same story within two different carriers.

“There are two reasons for which we have changed certain contexts or moved certain things in history,” Primman said. “One of which is in the game … You start the game and play as Abby, so you immediately create with her empathizing, because you survive as it. You run in the snow, you fight infected. And we could give up certain things and make a secret that will be revealed later in history. This context gave us this context.

Then Printman noted that in the first season the show they did something similar. Daughter Joel Sarah, who played Nick Parker’s series, is a hero of the point of view of the start of 2013 “The Last of Us” but you can’t repeat it in the series; Instead we follow the barn through her day during the pilot seriesOnly to be shot when she was shot at the beginning of the outbreak. Finally, Printman said that everything was reduced to terms.

“And one more reason is that where this discovery (about the story of Abby) is going on in the game, if we followed a very similar temporary scale, the audience would have to wait very, to get this context. It is likely to be spoiled between the seasons, and we did not want it.

“The Last of Us” is holding new episodes on Sundays at 21 hours EST on Max and HBO.
