I just wanted to chime in about dev time.

The Last of Us Part II is being built on Naughty Dogs brand new engine. Uncharted 4 & The Lost Legacy were both built of a modified version of the PS3 engine.

I have no idea when they started working on this engine. I am sure they have been building the engine since before the PS4 launched, and I don't know how long it will take them to iron out this new engine. I am guessings this new engine is being heavily built around scalability, and will be future proofed for both the PS5 and most likely a new PS Portable as well.

Just wanted to through that out there as it appears a lot of people either didn't know or forgot this game was being built on a new engine.

I dont think thats true.. do u have a source?, i m pretty sure its the same engine, coz i dont remember which interview it was but naughty dogs mentioned their darkest days were during making uncharted 1 were they had to scrap the entire engine and build a new one.. and the same engine was heavily modified for PS4 coz they didnt wanted to do the same mistakes and in gaming industry its not sensible to build a new engine when u have perfectly scalable engine.. it will be suicide.

not to mention during the reveal even Shawn said its runing on updated engine.  the Only studios in my knowledge who developed brand new engine for this gen are guirella games and sucker punch.

According to this article the last of us part 2 actually runs on a brand new engine for some reason.
