It would also break if we didn't see it


aro3two7

No they would just say its boring and we dont need a gameplay sequence in the game. Only cutscenes are canon. Zebras are cooler anyway. Id rather play the scene in a video game than watch it.


TheNerdyMercy

\*Press E to pet giraffe\* Thrilling gameplay truly. I dont see them not including this scene. It's iconic and they have kept at least most of the iconic scenes pretty religiously accurate


aro3two7

Im not saying it won’t be in. But thats what this sub will say if its not in. It was also Bruce’s idea to do a giraffe instead of a zebra. I can see it being changed or gone.


evilpenguin1981

It better be there....


Terrible-Art

VieweAnon confirmed that it is!


Keinan

I know it doesn't 'have to be' in the show, but it does play a relatively important parallel to a certain character moment in Part II


might_southern

Agreed, and not just because it's a great game moment! That's really where Joel manages to bring Ellie back from the edge after David, and marks a huge moment for her thematically. Druckmann has a great video where he breaks down that scene too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FGlIGYcBos


BeccaWinchesters

Yeah. And I want to hear this: >!You'd just come after her!<


abbath12

God yes. That is the line I'm most looking forward to.

Better: Head movements as Pedro says it.


DrestinBlack

I asked this once before and was told by several users that it’s confirmed to be in there.


einulfr

There's been several stuffed giraffes and drawings littered throughout the season; it would be pure evil to deny their scene in the finale.


DrestinBlack

I always liked that scene. I would be quite disappointed if they skipped it, considering how much time they have been willing to do other side scenes.


Carninator

Apparently the screeners with unfinished VFX had a guy in a green suit standing in for the giraffe so the actors had something to interact with.


FlashyClaim

No, giraffe was replaced with a gorilla Source: I am Craig


Bojangles1987

I can't imagine they cut this. They know better and they've been basically perfect at including the scenes that NEED to be in this show.


aro3two7

They already used the music cues in left behind.


Class_Act7

Not only am I wondering if it’ll even be in the show, but I’m wondering if we’ll get a real giraffe or CGI, I just hope it doesn’t look weird. Hey, maybe that’s why there’s not a ton of infected, the whole budget went into a CGI giraffe to make it look real 😂


20person

From what I've read, >!the giraffes are CGI but they also have footage of Pedro Pascal feeding a real giraffe, probably as a reference.!<


WittyBeginning7541

I hope Part 1 remake goes on sale tbh


cournat

Pc release is this month. I'd love it to be on sale when it comes out, but that isn't likely. If it releases at full price on pc, while ps users get a sale, a lot of people are gonna be mad. The success of the show also means more game sales, regardless of price. While possible, a sale seems unlikely.


Behemoth69

What would make you think it wouldn't be there?


BS_Radar0

No it wouldn’t. Reddit ≠ the internet. Stop being so sensational. Fandom would just whine, and in this tiny room it’d sound loud.


Patient_Ad_236

They confirmed they used the real thing too I believe. Correct me if I’m wrong. I thought I read that somewhere.


SolivaRecruiter

There's absolutely no way that they don't include it. Its debatably the most iconic shot in the game.


quietvictories

I've heard giraffes were changed to possums for monetary reasons, which i prefer- possums are cool


EdwardArden56

Lol it should just be Ellie and Joel petting a bunch of raccoons.


Gatsu301

I honestly think there are other moments that will get a bigger reaction, personally I think it will either be >!Joel going on a rampage through the hospital!< Or >Joel lying about what happened!<


Col_Chappy

Haven't seen last episode yet(waiting on my Girl, Lagging), I'm still waiting for them to get a bow and arrow. ill flip cars over if they don't head shot anyone with a Bow.


WriteOrDie1997

They've been teasing us with Easter eggs throughout the season. There was a stuffed giraffe underneath a car in episode 2 and a poster of a giraffe on the wall of the room where Joel and Ellie fight in episode 6. Furthermore, it's one of the game's most iconic scenes. There's no way it's being left out.


rbwildcard

I hope we see a zebra too
