![]() ![]() You can see the first when killing Whitney upon your entry into the hospital-the girl is playing Hotline Miami on a PlayStation Vita. The movie in question is Jurassic Park-the damning hint is Joel's remark that the sequel wasn't very good.įast-forward to when Ellie is hunting down Nora in the hospital during Ellie's Seattle Day 2 and we get two pop culture references pretty much back-to-back. ![]() Speaking of movies, in the first flashback sequence when Joel and Ellie visit a museum, Joel keeps talking about and making reference to some old movie about dinosaurs. Inside the vault is a safety deposit box that holds a ring engraved with the message "Sic Parvis Magna." The message translates to "greatness from small beginnings" and the ring is Sir Francis Drake’s ring from the Uncharted series.Īdditionally, when you enter the Westlake Bank, Ellie and Dina will talk about a movie that had surfer bank robbers in it-this is in reference to the 1991 film Point Break. In Downtown Seattle, you can gain access to a vault in the Westlake Bank. Inside that same music shop, we get another real-world musical reference: Ellie plays a somber rendition of A-ha's "Take on Me" for Dina. In Downtown Seattle, you can go into the Valiant Music shop and find a poster for Pearl Jam's 2013 album Lightning Bolt. It's a bit odd to see it show up in The Last of Us Part II, which is definitely not an immersive sim game. Several immersive sim games have used this code since then, including System Shock, Thief: The Dark Project, System Shock 2, Bioshock, and Dishonored. The code for Gate West 2 is 0451, which is a long-running reference to the code needed to get into the Cambridge offices in Looking Glass. In the opening portion of Ellie's Seattle Day 1, Ellie and Dina explore an open area where they have to find codes for several gates. He too has both the Jak and Daxter Collection and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, but he also has Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.Įugene also possesses a tape of something called Smash Brandi's Cooch, which is most likely porn but also sounds an awful lot like Crash Bandicoot. Once you reach Eugene's place, you can discover that he also has a PlayStation 3. She also has a copy of the Jak and Daxter Collection and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. When you explore Ellie's room once she's 19, you can find an original PlayStation 3. Naughty Dog revealed that Joel was originally written to have a girlfriend in Part II, but that this storyline (along with a bunch of other content) was cut, resulting in the altered scene. The scene actually plays out a little bit differently in One Night Live-the stage performance includes a part where Joel mentions that Tommy has set him up with a woman named Esther. The epilogue is the only part of the performance that was never recorded but audience members spoke about it afterwards. In fact, that whole scene where Joel performs for Ellie is actually an adaptation of the epilogue from The Last of Us: One Night Live, a stage performance of the original game that was held for only one night back in July 2014. Joel likely heard Pearl Jam perform "Future Days" live (it was first performed in July of that year) and managed to memorize the song or happened upon a CD that was locked away in some warehouse somewhere just waiting to be distributed. Of course, with Outbreak Day occurring on September 26, 2013, the song was never actually released in the world of The Last of Us. The song is real-it's Pearl Jam's "Future Days," which was officially released on October 11, 2013. So right at the beginning of the game, Joel plays the guitar and sings for Ellie. ![]() Now Playing: 47 Things You May Have Missed In The Last Of Us Part II By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's ![]()
