Another transfer of the hotly expected The Last of Us: Part II from May 29 for an indefinite period it was a real surprise for many fans, since the developers said that their project was almost ready – they only needed to catch the latest bugs.
However, this time adjustments to Sony’s plans were made by the global coronavirus pandemic, because of which the publisher cannot start printing discs and distributing them to retail outlets in time.
However, in connection with this situation, fans continue to ask Sony to think about a digital release of the game.
“If they decided to release The Last of Us: Part II in digital format on May 29, I would buy a digital copy and still keep my pre-order for a collector’s boxed edition until the pandemic ends,” said one fan of the series.
“I really don’t understand the argument about logistics. Just release The Last of US: Part II as a digital release, and later physical copies. It will certainly be a great PR solution for playing on such topics – the premiere during a pandemic,” said another user.
“They should give everyone who ordered physical copies codes to download digital versions, which would be a temporary solution until we get our physical copies after improving the sanitary-epidemiological situation. We would not have to cancel pre-orders. This would be a great solution for everyone “
For some users who have long switched to “digital”, the current situation has become an occasion to criticize disk lovers.
“The release delay of The Last of Us: Part II and Iron Man VR is a clear example of why physical media should stay in the past. The number is forever!”
However, some retail lovers also note that in this situation, a digital release would be appropriate. The main thing is to quickly get the game.
“Spend as much time as you need, but know that everyone wants a digital release, even physical copy enthusiasts. So if this is what keeps you from digitally releasing, don’t worry, we are really looking forward to it.”
Some fans believe that the digital release of the game will be very appropriate for the time of self-isolation.
“I understand why this decision was made. Nevertheless, I think Sony should think about the digital release of the game, because this is what will be very appropriate in the current situation, not to mention the fact that other novelties will appear in the summer “
There are people who are ready to pay a price higher than the set price for a digital copy of the game, if only to play it at the previously scheduled time.
“Please release the game in digital format in May. You can increase the price by 100%, I don’t care. I will buy the game anyway. And believe me, you will earn a lot of money even by releasing it exclusively in digital form. You can even re-release it on the PlayStation 5, I’ll buy the game there. “
Nevertheless, some players agree with the words of Neil Drackmann, referring to the infrastructure of some regions with problem Internet. The release of the digital version would not allow all fans to start the passage at the same time, but would increase the risk for them to stumble on spoilers.
“If you release the game only in digital form, then I can’t download it because I don’t have the right equipment to download it. The same goes for a lot of people like me. Other players will distribute spoilers, so try not to do that.” .
Release of The Last of Us: Part II is scheduled for the current year for Playstation 4.
