I just finished a playthrough and I was crying by the end of it.”[/perfectpullquote]
Niel ended saying “it’s a video game. You’ve gotta play it.”
Further details like pre-load times were not revealed by Naughty Dog. However, Sony will share when you can begin downloading the game soon. We already know the game requires over 100GB of storage. Get ready to delete some old content off your console.
