I've heard a lot of great things about these comics and I might just pick this up at some point. Isn't it about Ellie before she met up with Joel?

Thehyph3822d ago

I'm gonna grab it, too.

All that I needed to see was "Druckmann."

MadLad3822d ago

Didn't know that there was a comic series.
Might need to check it out. Have yet to play the game (first PS3 this Black Friday), but I can already tell the setting would interest me, so a series like this may just be right up my alley.

Don't expect your usual run of the mill pacing for a game. Approach it as you would a great movie and let the story take you through the experience. Check every nook and cranny for letters and conversation opportunities and examine every room carefully so that you get an idea of who lived there. When it all eventually kicks off, you'll be blown away.

GarrusVakarian3822d ago

Man, are you in for a treat. Im jealous that you are going to see it with virgin eyes, i wish i could forget it and play it again to be amazed a 2nd time.

MadLad3822d ago (Edited 3822d ago )

It will definitely be a thing. Haven't had time to really play games these last couple of years. Getting the career going, I could never justify buying the system.
Plan on grabbing a large amount of the exclusives once I get it.

Thehyph3822d ago

I envy you as well.

I would love to be able to un-experience the game and do it over again.

That prologue/intro is going kick your head in. It kicked mine in.

If you like that kind of setting and story, then you went be upset. I'm not the only one who's said it's one of the finest pieces of post apocalyptic and zombie(ish) narrative out there.

You should post back with your experience because we're all hyped for you.

No, american dreams is about how ellie gets bit, and how her friend Riley dies.

Ellie mentions this at the end of the game, but you get to see it comic book fashion.

GarrusVakarian3822d ago (Edited 3822d ago )

Spoilers dude, some people haven't played it yet (see above) and have no idea about Ellie. Not biting your hand off, just saying.

Can't wait, must buy for me.

I haven't read the comics I bought, the whole run with multiple copies.

As long as it comes to the states, I won't have to import this.

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."

anast76d 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.

AlterRecs73d 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"

anast73d 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.

AlterRecs72d 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

anast72d ago

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

DrDoomer76d ago

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

CrimsonWing6976d ago

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

AlterRecs73d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6973d 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.

seanpitt2376d 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

Linzoid120d 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…

anast120d 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?
