The Last of Us Are in Some Big Trouble

One thing I can give credit to ND for. They really do bring some personality into characters. Small things like twitches in the face and body when they talk. They do make these characters believable.

Hope this game turns out to be good.

I Am Legend with a white dude and his daughter.

Also... the guy looks like old Drake

Well at least this is something interesting, not just another post apocalyptic zombie game.

oh wait

I was already sold when I saw the ND logo. Looking forward to see what they can do outside of the Uncharted license.

You do realize that Naughty Dog didn't appear out of nowhere this generation right?

Offcourse! I still have a nice collection of the entire Crash Bandicoot series on my shelf.

What I meant was, this generation of hardware has been 100% focused on Uncharted. And while those are incredible games, I want them to branch out into other genres and themes.

Looks pretty generic to me but hopefully it turns out good.

The "better than that guy" moment was sooooooooooooo Naughty Dog.

love the blur reference, brad.

Ok so is the phrase "captured directly from a playstation 3 system" intentionally ambiguous? I mean, if this was in-engine footage, they would have just said that right? Cause this looks pre-rendered to me, and it seems like they're trying to make us think it's not. Either way looks pretty cool.

@randomfella21: They've gone out and said publicly that this is a cutscene made in-engine.

Similar to how they do it with the Uncharted games.

This is going to sound really funny, but I have a really stupid phobia that is triggered frequently with certain types of fungi. Hahah, that would really suck if it becomes an actual issue when trying to play it.

Anyone else out there able to relate?

Unfortunately :(

Are you all sure those are zombies? Looked like some scavenger humans (in the hoody) and then an alien to me. Maybe a head crab style alien on a human. 
Maybe there isn't much of a difference....

We Are Legends.

Ellen Paige the Game

Oh cool, Ellen Page is in this game.

The Uncharted games are pretty damn generic. Although I did like the second one.

Serious Drake is serious.

@Shaanyboi: Not zombies. Zombies are the walking dead. These creatures are clearly alive.

These aren't zombies.

looks cool, but i have to agree, we need to move beyond zombie games. IMHO Theres only so many ways you can kill a zombie.

The Cityscape at the end really reminds me of Enslaved.

Mark Richard Davies, the lead designer of Enslaved, is working on this game.

@toots: Sure does look like her, but I don't think it's her doing the voice acting.

What? This is not Un-Cart-ed...

Something about the dialogue felt off. While the atmosphere and body language tried to give this tired, gritty feel, every time someone opened their mouth it was with a wink and a nod which was incredibly jarring.

Naughty Dog can do no wrong IMO.

soooo.... zombies, huh?

Ruger GP-100. Fine, reliable choice for shooting ... uh, dudes with cauliflower for heads. Looks like it could have some potential if the kid's not too annoying.

When can I have it!?! I wonder if it's a tech demo running on the PS3 or if the final product will look like this, just look at the first zombies yaw when she turned him over :O

I WANT MORE.

Hope this won't be all entirely linear and set-piece focussed like Uncharted. ND could make use of their experience with Jak II and III and possibly make an open-world out of this.

I find it fascinating that they've positioned a teenage girl as a main (hopefully playable) character. Sure, she's very "Juno" but the fact that she's, well, a SHE is something videogames rarely handle well. Naughty Dog crushed it with Elena and Chloe in Uncharted, here's hoping they do a similar thing with 'Last of Us'.

I'm already confident that this will be the best game of the PS3's lifespan. Once this game comes out, we will have no choice but to move on to the PS4.

So...no UnKarted?

Is that Ellen Page?

I'd be so down for this if I only had a PS3. :(

I don't understand the gripe against the fact that this game has zombies, sure they've been used prominently in this generation but if it's a good game then what's the problem, I mean Dead Island had zombies but that didn't make it a bad game.

It is rubbish, innit.

I know, Zombies (although they didn't look quite like Zombies)...... but I am actually really interested in this. The last uncharted was a little bit of a disapointment for me and I wish all that energy would have been expended on new ideas.

I also like the fact that it is set a long time after what ever event has occured, love seeing all the streets overgrown and the world all changed.

I also hope it is a little more open world and roaming than Uncharted but I doubt this will be the case.

Can we as a society move past post-apocalyptic zombie games like we moved past WWII shooters? Please?

At first I was hoping for something along the lines of The Road, but no. More zombies.

This looks awesome. I kinda wish it was a CG movie that keeped this tone that I could watch .

If they make the bad guys anything other than zombies or robots- I will buy into this game- if only in spirit.

I'm actually tentatively looking forward to this based on the premise. Hopefully the kid isn't just baggage.

I actually think the kid is the main playable character.

Concept seems great, so ya, I'm in.

Yay, a new IP.

Imagine CART racing through a zombie infested world...

I am really interested to see what Naughty Dog can do with a new franchise, but I am very disappointed that Sony's big announcement is yet another zombie apocalypse game...

I'm pretty tired of video game trailers that look more like movies than video games.
