I'd love to see a zombie game that focuses on survival as much as on shooting things.

Kind of funny with this game, I was interested by the teaser stuff, but reserved. Then the trailer started with the Naughty Dog logo and well... sold.

I really want this to be an open world survival horror game of sorts. I doubt it since that isn't what Naughty Dog do, and I'm sure that what t5hey do will be pretty cool anyway.

But it would be awesome

I like the angle they went for with the young female character. I was a little reserved at first but the fact she straight up stabbed the zombie thing won me over.

I love that people already are ripping on the gameplay of a game that we literally knew nothing about three days ago and only have a single two minute video to base on.

I surprised people haven't learned this fact with the Uncharted series. I remember when people were just passing it off as Dude Raider and look at it now. I'm looking forward to what they bring to the post apocalyptic/zombie genre.

It's funny, the first thing I thought when I saw that guy in the trailer was "Oh, they put Nathan Drake in this game too? That's a neat idea".

Unoriginal?? Execution and presentation are just as important or more so than concept.

I'd bet Nathan Drake found some ancient artifact that doomed the world, now he and his daughter have to find a way to fix it. Nice going dad. He shoulda' quit while he was ahead.

It's funny because in UC3 in the first pub mission, if you walk up to the bar there's a newspaper. The headline of that newspaper is "Scientists struggle to understand deadly fungus" Probably just an easter egg, but if old man Drake made a cameo, I would very much enjoy that.

Oh and some guy from ND tweeted that this game has been in development for over 2 years now

They've shown some gameplay? All I have seen is this in engine cutscene thing.

Naughty Dog working on something other than Uncharted = YES!

Naughty Dog working on a zombie game = NO!

Zombies are more boring than the VGA's.

The trailer was so much Dead Island that I immediately switched off mentally.

Whatever similarities to Dead Island you think are here...aren't. They're just scenarios that have been around for a while.

That looks to be what the original Dead Island trailer promised. For some odd reason I have more faith in Naughty Dog.

If they can sustain this atmosphere throughout a majority of the game I might pick it up. I hope any forthcoming info doesn't ruin what I think the game could be.. I also appreciated the Blur reference. Ta.

I really like "The Last of Us" as a title. It sounds like the title of an actual big-boy piece of fiction, and not a calculated branding decision run through a thousand research firms. It's the kind of title that, in the event of a sequel, you couldn't easily slap a "2" at the end. Strange thing to praise, I know, but sometimes I feel like all game titles come out of the same bland marketing apparatus...

I Am Legend with a white dude and his daughter.

It's probably too much to ask for from a video game, but I'm kind of hoping this ends up being closer to The Road (except with a daughter and fungal zombies or whatever the eff those things are supposed to be).

Has there been any word regarding whether or not Amy Hennig is working on this one?
