This is now my most anticipated game of whatever year it comes out in.
The Last of Us
Game » consists of 11 releases. Released Jun 14, 2013
Joel and Ellie must survive in a post-apocalyptic world where a deadly parasitic fungus infects people's brains in this PS3 exclusive third-person action-adventure game from Naughty Dog.
Naughty Dog making Last of US
I just hope this games will have some open-endedness to it unlike the game that is really an interactive cinematic that was Uncharted 3.
Uhh those things definantly didn'tlook like zombies to me they looked like more of a mutant to me,but eitherway that trailer looked absolutely amazing im kind hoping for a more open worldly type of vide id like to see naughty dog test that out with it,also That was the biggest anouncement there next to rising still exsist
Why is it that teenage girls in these types of stories are always wise beyond their years? Is it because all the other teenage girls have already gotten dead?
Also did Ellie make anyone else think of a young Zoey?
So the mushroom head monsters are a horrible real life version of Toad and the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom, right?
Also, I just at this moment realized why they're called toadstools. I never thought of them as being exactly what it says.
Am I the only one who is completely sick of zombie games and wastelands? I also don't care much for the characters that Naughty Dog creates, but I see a lot of potential here in the young girl character. I can already envision what the father/older man character will be like.
The trailer graphically looks gorgeous though!
The only thing I could think of when this trailer aired was that they were trying to play off the Dead Island trailer. Not necessarily in the sense of trying to evoke emotion or the way it was presented, but a young girl running through what appeared to be a hotel infested with zombies.
Ok ok let me get this straight.
There are 3 kinds of hype:
- When the game is actually, legitimately looking fucking amazing (see: Red Read Redemption, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Mass Effect).
- When we're suckers for a good developer and we just go hype because that studio is working on it (see: Overstrike, Left 4 Dead, L.A. Noire, Dragon Age: Origins).
- When, for some fucked up reason, we simultaneously decide to hold hands and cheer for a new game for no solid reason whatsoever. Usually that game is the very thing we mock and claim to be sick of (see: Dead Island, other..) And they're usually a let down.
Now, which is it for this game? Is it the fact that it's Naughty Dog, or the third kind of hype? Because seriously, this is looking like a triple-A SURVIVAL game, with ZOMBIE-esque enemies and a REMAINING FAMILY trying to SURVIVE, hello???????? Have we not been hating on these typical games and movies for ages?
Turns out the girl isn't Ellen Page but actually someone named Ashley Johnston, as confirmed via twitter. She is also doing the mo-cap.

I'm conflicted. I love Naughty Dog but I hate the idea of playing another game with zombies in it no matter how you fucking spin it by calling them infected or whatever.
@Nomin: The funny thing is, in the very first mission of UC3, in the bar, there is a newspaper sitting on the edge of the bar. If you look at it closely, the headline says "scientists struggle to understand deadly fungus". Maybe just a little easter egg, but if Drake made a cameo as a survivor or fungus/zombie thing, I would like that, even though it would pretty fan service-y.
It takes a lot for a trailer with no gameplay to get me excited about any game. But it's not just any game...it's yet another zombie game. From the people who just kinda dropped the ball with Uncharted 3.
Color me indifferent until I see what zombie itch this game scratches that can't be done with Dead Island, Left 4 Dead, or Dead Rising.
