Take a look at the VGA 2012 teaser and live-performance of The Last of Us.

[KingOptimusAscend111]

Game Of The Year 2013

[xwabbit]

Hope they release a hd version l8r

[HappyGaming]

What I want to see in the future is Elle getting her own game and becoming a new Lara Croft style character!

[xwabbit]

I meant an hd version of the video lol

[Nimblest-Assassin]

I don't know why... but the audience reaction to the last of us is incredible

E3, Ellie throws a brick, applause and cheers erupt

This trailer, finishes: cheers
shows release date: thunderous applause

This and Bioshock Infinite man, these are the 2 games I want the most next year

[BanBrother]

@Nimblest-Assassin

It is hilarious. People are off their trees.

One just needs to look at Naughty Dogs track record to understand the hype for this game. They haven't disappointed me yet.

[Awesome_Gamer]

GTA V too will be amazing, so excited for The Last of Us, this trailer was amazing.

[Y_5150]

Who wouldn't cheer seeing someone's head being smashed by a flying brick?

[Psychonaughty]

The crowd were clearly paid performers.

[Jockamo]

I'm looking forward to Watchdogs too

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

Not a shooter! yeah!!

[Ezz2013]

i..i.. i can't... i...@_@
damn you ND!! damn you

[omi25p]

GTA V

[omi25p]

People disagree with a name? MMMMMMMMMk

[Premonition]

Im pretty sure it wasn't because of the name its because it has nothing to do with this article unless your implying this will get game of the year.

[TheRealSpy]

They are disagreeing because the first comment said Last of Us is GOTY and they don't agree that GTA 5 will beat it.

Frankly, I think it takes a pretty small minded to decide on GOTY for a year that hasn't started and games you haven't played. But, then again, N4G isn't really renowned for the maturity of its community.

[-Mezzo-]

By the looks of it, May 7th 2013 is all set to be the best day of my PS3 Gaming career.

That trailer was awesome.

[Mykky]

The trailer does indeed look sick! What I'm worried about though is that this is a new Uncharted 3. What I mean by that is that it will be more interesting to watch than actually play. In Uncharted 3 I felt that the game itself kinda disappeared.

[BigStef71]

This game has a chance to be one of the games that defines this gen and after seeing all these trailers it certainly looks like it will live up to the expectations. Plus we haven't seen the multiplayer component for it. I'm excited to see what Naughty Dog comes up with:D Hopefully some type of co-op scavenger mode

[Shane Kim]

I think Uncharted 2 allready defined this gen. But I know what you mean.

[majiebeast]

Cant wait till monday for more info from Naughty dog. Naughty dog just pushed the bar higher again good luck trying to reach it. The music was amazing oscar nominee amazing.

[MattyG]

WOW. That is all.

[Ultraplayerxp]

This game is something else. It's gonna be hard waiting till May to experience, what I believe, to be one of the best games this gen.

[taquito]

wish they would just wait for ps4, maybe they will re-release it, looks so low res, maybe its just the video feed.

this game could be so much better realized on hardware thats not getting close to a decade old

still looks awesome, and definately buying it

[fabod86]

low res? maybe it's the quality of the video but i don't know, it could be that Naughty Dog developed the game in "stream mode". :/
come on dude you can't be serious. XD

[MysticStrummer]

He's a PC gaming cultist.

[Bathyj]

You're hilarious

[VitaOwner]

I smell a troll

[Gridloc]

I smell beans...

[d3nworth1]

What do you care? They're not making a PC version.

[Riderz1337]

Holy crap man this game looks unbelievable. Jesus Christ look at the legs of the zombies blowing up from when that mine detonates! This game just continues to blow my mind I can not believe what naughty Dog is able to achieve on a 2006 console. These guys never disappoint. The scenery and environments look absolutely stunning and you just feel such a huge impact when the character does things like shooting a shotgun in a zombies face or hitting AI with a pipe right in their head. Just wow. This will be the longest 4-5 months of my life.

[HorrorGod]

They're not "zombies."
It's fungus.
"The concept for The Last of Us arose after watching a segment of the BBC nature documentary Planet Earth, which documented a cordyceps fungus-infected ant, where the fungus takes over its brain and producing growths from its head; the idea that the fungus could infect humans became the initial idea for the game."

[Riderz1337]

Yes I know they aren't zombies but I refer to them as zombies since I don't know what else to call them lol.

[HorrorGod]

"the infected"? Neither do I. haha. I just haven't called them "zombies."

[xXtremeHDGamerXx]

Next-Gen starts May 7th 2013!

[Double_Oh_Snap]

Oh my... Yup I pooped.

[HarvesterOSarow]

This is going to be one hell of a game!

[strigoi814]

Man in tears right here...oh May here i come!

[DigitalRaptor]

Isn't it just beautiful? Knowing the release date just propels the excitement!!!

I loved the guitar intro by Gustavo Santaolalla. Can't believe that have him on board for the music. See it's not just PS3 fanboys that are excited for this or hyping it up like many suggest. The audience loved it. This is another game from Naughty Dog, just like Uncharted 2, that will send shock waves through the industry.

GTA V, BioShock Infinite, Ni no Kuni and The Last of Us. The best games of next year. Unless The Last Guardian or FF Versus XIII are confirmed I don't see that changing.

I NEED to see this in HD though to absorb everything.

[Y_5150]

I've been hyped for this game before it was even announced because of those teasers with the ants.
I was even more hyped when the game announced.
Now a year later; I've never been this interested in a game before. I'll do anything to touch this game!

[gamern4g]

Truly amazing!

[WeskerChildReborned]

Looks awesome.

[Fox_Mamba]

I'm very excited about this game and this just made it extremely exciting.

[waltyftm]

Simply stunning.

[HorrorGod]

Like a lot of you, I've been following this game closely since it was first teased in 2011. I didn't care about a new trailer being shown tonight, unless it finally had the release date tagged on to it... Naughty Dog delivered. :)
May 7th can't get here soon enough.

[Detoxx]

Looks amazing, I wasn't interested at first but now I am.

[stage88]

I am setting my hype meter to 10! I've never ever been let down by a Naught Dog game.

[bloodybutcher]

well, that was...exciting:) ND sure can keep me interested in their games!

[ratcop22]

People people. Let's not hype this up so TO much. Like Assassin's creed 3 was. Becasue when people have so much anthusiam for a game it's bound to dissapoint in some ways.

[first1NFANTRY]

difference is AC3 is multiplat and this is a Sony Exclusive developed by the same devs who received over 150+ awards for UC2 GOTY. I think that's enough to get any gamer hyped about TLOU.

[ratcop22]

I know. That the Nd team got over 300 awards for Uncharted series. But still this is a new Ip so we don't know what to except. But I already preorded this anyway.

[Ezz2013]

uncharted 3 also won 70+ GOTY award and all the gfx awards last year

[th3n00bg4m3r]

Actually, i didn't expect much from Assassin's Creed 3, i was surprised why people was excited about it? But The Last Of Us is a clear masterpiece.

[MYSTERIO360]

wow

[medman]

The first five months of next year looks ridiculous. GTA V, Tomb Raider, Splinter Cell Blacklist, Bioshock Infinite, Gears of War Judgement, Crysis 3, Remember Me, The Last of Us, God of War Ascension, and Dead Space 3? That's a lot of potential purchases in the first half of the year. This gen is going out with a bang. Add to that list Beyond Two Souls, Watch Dogs, and Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes at some point in 2013 and that is some lineup for next year.

[EditorAtGNG]

Someone's been watching The Walking Dead pretty closely I'd say.

[ratcop22]

I want the hd version! Ill wait till it gets up on youtube

[th3n00bg4m3r]

youtube.com/watch?v=h89b3LatsG Y

[ratcop22]

It didn't work

[Heavenly King]

you need to write the Y close to the G

youtube.com/watch?v=h89b3Lats GY

[OllieBoy]

Wow that was awesome. Naughty God indeed.

[Bumpmapping]

I cried I came I pre-ordered.

[th3n00bg4m3r]

OH MY GOD, i have never been this excited for a game before. This game is mind blowing.

[bloodybutcher]

i think i will stop watching any trailers or gameplay. don't want to spoil the game.

[SonyStyled]

im excited for this but i think people are taking the excitement to a whole new level. like im not pooping my pants over this

[stage88]

ND have never released a bad game. That's why people's hype is at an all time high.

[Ethereal]

This looks insane....cant wait.

[tagzskie]

sony should buy ND! secure that sick company for your sake

[Sevir]

ND is owned by Sony since 2002.

[Unlimax]

Correction : Naughty Dog becomes a Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) development studio in 2001 .

[cedaridge]

It just prove when a game is EXCLUSIVE to ps3 we all see the fruits of what is possible!

[Vickistheman]

Fucking Incredible!

Naughty Dog always delivers the best.

[Plasticgearsolid]

not going to say game of the year 2013 just because i haven't played any of them yet so, I will say this, its my most anticipated game, and I want it to be GOTY. In Naughty Dog I Trust.

[kratoz1209]

Gunna be epic :D

[Coke-a-Cola]

Stunning !!!

[tdinc]

ND continues to show they are l33t
