The Last of Us Part 2
Naughty Dog’sThe Last of Us : Part 2fills in what happen after the ending of the first game , but there ’s one detail that does n’t add up in the game ’s timeline . gift when the initial outbreak come , there are thing that do n’t exist in theThe Last of Usuniverse , since they never came into existence before the cordyceps transmission wreaked mayhem on the world . But it appears as though one matter slipped through the cracks .
TheCordyceps infection first broke outin former September of 2013 . A paper clipping that can be found in Joel and Sarah ’s business firm reveals the transmission depart in South America before make its fashion to Mexico and then the United States . It ’s presume the infection diffuse to the rest of the world , too .
What ’s important to take note is that the humans was forever commute in late September of 2013 . Due to the contagion , everything would ’ve come to a halt as the governance and regime examine to get a detention on the irruption , which , asThe Last of Usseriesproved , did n’t wreak in their favour . The world , in terms of amusement , sports , and pop culture , would ’ve been put on hold as a result .
How Joel Knew How To Play That One Peal Jam Song
During a setting in whichJoel bet the guitar for Ellie , he begin jamming out to " Future Clarence Day " by Pearl Jam . The only problem , however , is that this birdcall was issue weeks after the initial outbreak in October 2013 . So , inThe Last of Usuniverse , the Pearl Jam albumLighting Boltwas never give up , since the infection took hold of society too rapidly . This seems like a major lapse on part of the developer . Unless Joel was capable of meter travel , there ’s no way he should ’ve know this song . However , Naughty Dog responded to the argument with an explanation to help clear up the supposed game hole .
In reply to peculiar buff , Neil Druckmanntook to Twitter to address the Pearl Jam Song dynasty scene . He explain that it was potential for Joel to sleep with the song since it had been posted to YouTube before the album ’s prescribed passing , and hence , before irruption day . “ But how did Joel know @pearljam ’s Future mean solar day if the song did n’t drop until October 2013 – a month after Outbreak Day?”Druckmann tweeted . “ Glad you asked ! You see … it was performed live and post on YouTube months prior to the album ’s release . ”He also included a link to a Pearl Jam performance see July 26th , 2013 in which they performed " Future 24-hour interval , " which would ’ve been a full two months before outbreak daytime in theworld ofThe Last of Us , explaining how Joel could be familiar with the hit .
Joel must ’ve been a freehanded fan of Pearl Jam ( or at least that one song in particular ) to memorise the lyric and chords well enough to remember them so many years later on . But with that being said , at least there ’s a plausible account as to why Joel was able-bodied to know a song from the future tense that does n’t compromiseThe Last of Us : Part 2’stimeline .
