E3 2012: The Last of Us Interview

I'm pumped for this game

Makes me want a PS3 even this late in the cycle

Nice hat.

I hope the combat scenarios stick to stuff like this. I'd rather not be put in some wide open combat arena diving from cover to cover.

Brad seems like he's hurting... also looking forward to this game. Time to dust off the old PS3.

This could be pretty special. I got somewhat tired of Uncharted by the time 3 came out, but this seems pretty fresh in comparison.

Also, Naughty Dog's games always look so damn good.

I want this game

actually looks and sounds like it's going to be great

Same here.

There will be a quasi-rape scene with these other survivors. And I trust this developer will make it mature and serious, not just a reason to brutally killl the rapists for gameplay.

Great interview. This game is going to be awesome!

i really want to play this game

Looking forward tot his game.

Uncharted 2 was one of the most perfectly paced and lovingly crafted games of all time, and this looks set to top that...in a big way.

Sign me up.

14 year old girl love story. Got it.

(Seriously though, looks great.)

Could be great. I really hope they put the focus the survival and "diplomacy" aspects and not the shooting. The fewer combat encounters there are (and the fewer bullets and health packs) the more poignant it'll be. They want you to think about each person you have to kill, but that's not gonna happen with a kill count around 100.

I can already tell that this will be my favorite game of 2013, possible of this entire gen.

This game easily has the most humanized NPCs I've seen just from that short clip. Enemies that react to you realistically, visceral camera angle and battle, and an ally that you've gotta protect who also got your back. And to top it off with a post apocalyptic ruin setting... omg I just jizzed my pants.

This guy reminds of Daniel Bryan, yes! yes! yes!

I wonder how Book of Eli this game will get. No matter what, I'm just glad to see more realism in a game without it having to be a simulation.

I think so... is that the one with the tentacle monster?

I killed someone for three bullets and a FULL bottle of alcohol last week. Well worth it.

I already pumped for this game before watching this interview and now I looking forward to it even more. My E3 game of the show

Exactly

Ellen Page wants her likeness back

Heres a Idea, buy a used PS3 online, play the games you want to play on it then sell it for the same price.

Also this was a great interview. The guy really explained everything so well.

a love story does not have to do with sex. Love does not equal sex.

Extremely sad and disappointed that it's only on ps3 :[

I was completely sold 2 minutes into this interview. Looks unbelievable, can't wait.

This guy is explaining good game design.

Take heed, everyone.

Also, dude's well-spoken.

I guess I owe my daughter an apology then. I think we all learned something today. Good meeting. Good meeting.

Why don't they show this 17 minute demo online? Really want to see it.

It's been said a thousand times over but this game looks completely awesome.

@automatontribe: The reason I'm psyched is that it seems like it could be a very challenging game. When I listen to him about "choices" and the fact that ammo and supplies are limited I get excited. Too many games have easy access to ammo so you never really worry. If every bullet is valuable then it demands more out of accuracy or it forces you to decide if you really should shoot him.

Maybe I'm jaded because I've been playing games for so long, but the difficulty of games as I've grown up has gone down.

@PandaBear: I'm struggling with the same decision. At least we have DayZ.

Great job, B-rad. I like how you tried two different approaches to get release information.

Wonder if you can trade with other npcs for items. Would be amazing if the amount of items you have affected people's tendency to gut you...

It's really exciting to hear that the moments I believed could be used for divergent styles of gameplay, are actually there. The stage demo seemed like he got himself caught up in more than anticipated, and it means everything to me that it is only one of a few general scenarios.

I'm very curious to know more about the sci-fi aspects of the story, and these two characters. Part of me wants to avoid the rest of the media until I pick it up at launch.

I need this game! , this is my most anticipated thing since Mass Effect 2 .

I just hope I have the ability to kill Ellie and go into this world by myself. I'm not liking a 14 year old following me around.

I bet that guy can do a great Paul Giamatti impression.

Man brads a great interviewer.

Also the game sounds great, the character stuff he talked about sounded weird to me for some reason, but i doubt it'll be much different from say uncharted.

Please, they prefer the term "Rigid-limb Challenged"

guarantee that girl is totally going to be kidnapped at some point in the game.

This interview actually gave me something. The on-stage showing made me believe that this was Uncharted with a new skin. Wasn't hyped before, I've had my Uncharted fill for this generation, but I'm now very interested Thanks, GB!

Uncharted 4 looks awesome!! I really can't wait!
