"Problem is, to get out of the city she'll have to face 'zombies' - although in this case they're people transformed by a fungal infection"

Okay.

"There are no human enemies here, just zombies"

They're not zombies.

"There are different types of zombies"

They're not zombies.

"With the ordinary, everyday variety of zombie,"

They're not zombies.

"much deadlier variety of zombie"

They're not zombies.

"If you shoot another zombie"

They're not zombies.

"punching zombies in the face drew the ire of the clicker"

They're not zombies.

"Even if you dispatch all the other zombies"

They're not zombies.

"which will show you whereabouts all the zombies"

THEY'RE NOT ZOMBIES.

"which is not unusual for Naughty Dog, but is unusual for a zombie game."

IT'S NOT A ZOMBIE GAME!!!!

Smh... So what they are calling them zombies. Stop trying to make it a big deal. They look like zombies and act like zombies.

CGI-Quality4056d ago

Why is who calling them "zombies"? Naughty Dog, you know.....the dev, has only ever called them "infected". People in the media dubbed them as "zombies", which is hysterical, given a true zombie doesn't move, act, nor think (they can't do this anyway) like that.

What I've seen of the game, there is absolutely no difference between zombies and "infected". Everything in trailer suggested game is all about zombies. If game isn't about zombies then trailer lies.

If you think about it, even in Resident Evil or The Walking Dead there are no zombies then because those people are also having an infection. They are zombies because they have an infection. The truth is that most current zombie movies and games start with infection, infection alone doesn't mean anything.

the game is nothing like what people were going on about at e3, but it looks awesome. The instant deaths and the atmosphere is something you just dont see often anymore.

Ezz20134056d ago (Edited 4056d ago )

how it's not like the E3 ?!
we saw two playthrough for the same part in E3 demo
which play way different than each other

every preview confirm it's not scripted
hideo kojima played it and confirm that too

so what you see ..that no body else can see ?!

Ezz20134056d ago

good that every preview is loving the game
very good preview ..the only thing to be changed in that preview is "zombies" to "clickers" or "infected"

as for the dude here who say "they look like zombies and act like zombies."

pluz point me in any zombie game or movie
to a zombie that look like that

and also blind and only react to sound and as fast
and will kill you with one bite

Pekka4056d ago

Almost every zombie movies or games nowadays are all infection. So there is absolutely no difference between "infected" and zombies because zombies are always infected.

Utalkin2me4055d ago (Edited 4055d ago )

A Zombie is something that has very little brain function but has the desire to eat, due to the certain parts of the virus affecting your brain.

But being infected "whatever virus it may be", can enhance your abilities and affect your brain different ways.

So in turn both are infected, but are completely different.

Bathyj4055d ago

They're not zombies because because zombies are dead that move. The infected are not dead, they are still alive and just not in control of themselves.

But for all intensive purposes they still ACT like zombies, but I still wouldnt call it a zombie game because I think most of the time youre going to be going up against human hunters, not infected.

Keeping the infected conflicts as a rare occurrence will add power to the encounters. It will make them that much scarier if you only see them every now and then, and without warning. Killing them all the time would just make them routine.

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?
