The Last of Us Preview: Surviving Horror | Shacknews

Andrew Yoon: ''Get bitten once, and it's game over. Fire a bullet from your gun without thinking, and you may find yourself overwhelmed, eaten alive by a horde of infected, attracted by the sound of the gunshot. Take too many punches, and you'll desperately search the environment, looking for anything that will heal you. For many gamers, this will sound like an absolute nightmare. For others (myself included), we've been looking for a return to classic survival horror. We want every bullet to matter, every encounter to be threatening, and we want to be scared, dammit.''

'we've been looking for a return to classic survival horror. We want every bullet to matter, every encounter to be threatening, and we want to be scared, dammit.'

Amen~
I'm trying to get as much information on this game as I possibly could, this new Survival Horror element has certainly pulled a few heart strings, Finally something to live upto the Resident Evil & Silent Hill prime days.

After what happened with Resident Evil 6 and Dead Space 3 im dying for an incredible survival horror experience. Funny thing is i was never expecting for the survival horror genre to be rebooted by Naughty Dog.

I absolutely bet that after this game hits critically well and is praised left and right when release Capcom and more developers will take note and go back to the roots they left behind. Honestly ND is one of the TOP developers in the industry and this game shows why. Who would have thought ND would be bringing TRUE Survival Horror back to this Gen?

TheFallenAngel4097d ago

Yes without doubt ND is a big player this gen. Hopefully this will deliver from beginning to the end. Show capcom how it's done ND.

I always wanted a zombie game in which one bite equals death. It's such an integral part of what makes them so terrifying, knowing that you're a gonner should you stop paying attention long enough to get bitten once. Of course we could argue that these things are not zombies at all but at least they've got one of the most important features.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast82d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs79d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast79d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs78d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast78d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer82d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6982d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs79d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6979d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.

The Last Of Us Online Devs Celebrate Their Experience With The Canceled Game

The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.

Chocoburger126d ago

All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.

What a waste of time and money, what a shame.

seanpitt2382d ago

I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!

Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait

Linzoid126d ago

Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.

TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…

anast126d ago

This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
