The Last Of Us Part 2: 14 Tiny Details That'll Blow Your Mind

7. PS3s Are 'Friendly'

The last of us part 2
Naughty Dog

This is more fun than a proper technical mindblower, but it's still worth mentioning. At multiple points during the game, you can find PS3 consoles (complete with other Naughty Dog releases) out in the wild.

This isn't much of a secret, but what you might not know is that the game actually classes these machines as friendly allies.

If you hover the aiming reticule over the console, it will actually fade, restricting you from pulling the trigger on it. The same is true for the Vita but, of course, not the Vita's owner.

A cute little in-joke, or precious censorship to avoid a bunch of videos showing players shooting up Sony's dear consoles? I'll leave that one up to you.
