The developers at Naughty Dog are master craftsmen when it comes to their art. The studio knows how to construct a game and pace it within the interactive environment to great effect like few other studios can.
"The Game Music Foundation are today very proud and pleased to announce an additional concert, circling back to the roots of Game Muisic Festival in Poland. On April 28th, 2024, the National Forum of Music in Wroclaw will once again become a place to celebrate the art of video game music, featuring scores from The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II." - The Game Music Foundation.
Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."
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.
The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.
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.
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…
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?
While a very good game, I disagree about The Last of Us being some sort of storytelling masterpiece.
It borrowed heavily from tons of other sources (pretty much a cliché fest), plus very predictable at times.
Damn that was a long article, and I could not disagree more with pretty much the entire thing. For one your right this game is not the road, why because its a video game and not a movie. You ramble on for 19 paragraphs about the entire game just being a trick? You shook your head through the entire winter sequence? Why didnt you ENJOY THE GAME, rather then play it like a critique. Maybe that was a problem you had. If you sit in a movie and criticize every little thing, LIKE YOU CAN DO WITH ANYTHING IN ANY MEDIUM, then yah obviously you wont enjoy your experience. For heavens sake too, please stop with the freaking you killed 100s of people, I am sorry what else do you want to happen? Maybe you and Garnet Lee can get off those horses of yours long enough to have lunch and bitch together. Basically you criticized ND for doing things EVERY other video game on the planet does, for them doing things better, and for them not being like a movie. So them making things to drive the story is a bad thing? Your right maybe we should just take stories out of games completely.. The best parts about the game was that everything was there to push the story, reading the Ish story, Ellie telling us things as we walk around an empty house, reading us jokes, the disturbing notes in the dorm rooms, all amazing.
In the end, your right this wasnt a movie, and I thank ND for that, because this offered me an experience I have not ever got from a movie, nor from a game for that matter. It truly has for me, transcended into something that I have never experienced.
Yeah it did have alot of emotion to it.some people were really getting on my nerves however with how much they claimed to be touched by it especailly al lthe people walking around saying that they fell to the ground crying their eyes out because of how powerful it was. really kinda lame
Almost all narratives are emotionally manipulative. That's the point!
