EDGE - The Last Of Us: Naughty Dog steers clear of Uncharted territory

EDGE - Seconds into our first hands-on demo of The Last Of Us – just as the lean, player-controlled smuggler Joel is about to enter a toppled office block on a desolate, overgrown city street – a pack of rats scurries around a corner of damaged concrete. The rodents offer a bleak parallel to the exotic birds that memorably flutter through the jungles of Naughty Dog’s Uncharted and highlight the differences between the studio’s two projects. They may share tech and a surface style, but The Last Of Us is a dark, feral story of survival, and a stark contrast to Uncharted’s bright sightseeing.

I think Edge will give The Last of Us a perfect score !

Rusty5154033d ago

I know it's not even out yet, but c'mon. It's a new naughty dog IP with zombies...Who isn't gonna give the game a perfect score?

Root4033d ago

That one site trying to be different

SOD_Delta4033d ago

They're not zombie! They're infected.

I WANT THIS GAME!!!

Bathyj4033d ago

Is everyone missing the fact that zombies are dead people who walk around despite this handicap?

The infected are not dead, theyre sick.

Good_Guy_Jamal4033d ago

Why do people hype games they haven't played and then call bias when reviewers don't agree with them?

Ezz20134033d ago

i find it funny that you don't say that in Xbox/Multiplat games reviews...i wonder why?!

also EDGE is not the only site who praise the last of us
pretty much every site doing that
it will only look odd for site to bash a game while the rest is in love with it
there is reason why no one like sites like quarter for three

also why i feel that you are angry that game is loved by every one ?!

Bathyj4033d ago (Edited 4033d ago )

Because everyone who has played it, seen it, or even heard it, has said its great.

Call it an educated guess.

I dont need to set myself on fire to know 3rd degree burns hurt. Its been well documented. I believe everyone that has said it does in fact, burn.

A better question would be, why try to dampen our enthusiasm? Who cares if we think its awesome. Even if we're wrong.

Hicken4033d ago

Why do you do the same, so long as it's not a Sony exclusive?

Sevir4033d ago

I can't wait to play this epic!

clintos594033d ago

I believe with this darker approach this game will be naughty dog's best creation. The reason I say this is because they never created a game this dark. I think this game will be one to remember & will blow ppl away when it is released. I trust in naughty dog to deliver a new standard to the survival action genre. Watch out bioshock infinite u got competition.

Ezz20134033d ago

wow, even EDGE praise The last of us

unchartedxplorer4033d ago

I hope to god that this game doesn't end up being a huge catastrophic disappointment.
But this being ND there is a 0.1% chance of this happening :)

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."

anast77d 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.

AlterRecs74d 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"

anast74d 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.

AlterRecs73d 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

anast73d ago

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

DrDoomer77d ago

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

CrimsonWing6977d ago

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

AlterRecs74d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6974d 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.

Chocoburger121d 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.

seanpitt2377d 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

Linzoid121d 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…

anast121d 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?
