I'm kinda afraid tbh. I hope this doesn't become a lengthy series that ruins what made the original so great. That seems to be a trend in modern gaming.

Agreed. Being the sequel to a good game doesn't make it automatically good. They could very well mess up. There are hight expectations and they can't just grab the original game ad copy all the good things from it. They would have to add new stuff that was either missing on the original game, or upgrade absolutely everything + some new exciting and unexpected features.

 

In short, the only way to surpass the original one is trying out new approaches on the gameplay, and that can go either way.

Yeah, and even if they do give a massive upgrade to the gameplay, people are still wanting a phenomenal story that is better or at least on par with the original. Which is going to be incredibly difficult, as TLOU has one of the most engaging stories in gaming. People were willing to overlook the flaws of the gameplay because the story was so great, but I don't think people will be willing to overlook the flaws of the story just because the gameplay is great. At least not in this scenario.

Plus with a bunch of lead artists and such leaving ND, it'll be interesting to see how this game (and Uncharted 4, for that matter) shape up in comparison to their predecessors. Only time will tell, I guess.
