Today, PlayStation released its latest State of Play episode, this time focused on The Last of Us Part II. In the video, players got to see Ellie using stealth to take out a number of enemies, including one playing a PlayStation Vita! The presence of Sony’s ill-fated handheld was cause for some amusement among PlayStation fans, with many pointing out that the Vita player’s fate felt like a metaphor for Sony’s treatment of those who owned the handheld. At the end of the day, it was little more than an Easter egg for fans, but one that a lot of viewers had fun with!

It’s the best time to play them, really.
I constantly think of my vita loaded with games Iโve never played and know that when shit hits the fan thatโs when Iโll find the time. https://t.co/uGRtgGk6WH

Vita fans are still a little bitter.
Has there ever been a more apt analogy for how Sony treated Vita owners? https://t.co/Sp3C6dNJkW

These long development cycles are a killer.
Bold move of Naughty Dog to spend 6 years developing a PlayStation Vita commercial

Not everyone was happy to see the system, however.
ND feeling themselves a bit too hard with that silly af vita scene. I thought someone memed that into a screenshot but that’s apparently in the game like that?
