The Last Of Us DLC: A Reason to be Disappointed?

Sean Halliday of Pixel Gate writes:

''NOTE: THERE ARE SPOILERS AHEAD.

After much discussion and speculation, the first piece of story-driven DLC for The Last of Us has been revealed–and people are a little disheartened.

The general vibe from the fan base is that the Ellie/Joel story arc originally ended in a more than satisfying manner, and thus revisiting either character would be a mistake. I personally agree with this notion as I feel that The Last of Us‘ universe had plenty more stories to tell outside of the game’s central pairing, which concluded satisfyingly''

It's more Ellie so I'm in no way disappointed. Just hearing her voice brought a smile to my face. She has easily become one of my favorite characters of all time. Can't wait.

Pixelgate3804d ago

I think Ellie is probably the character most people will instantly think of when anyone mentions The last of Us. I don't find DLC based on her a bad thing, nor do i see it as a great thing, more a safe bet if you get what i mean?

Thatguy-3103804d ago

That's true. I would have died to see Ish story.

Zizi3802d ago

In my opinion, Joel is also a mesmerizing character. I love how badaIss he was when I was playing as him. However, I've found out that Ellie is one of the bravest characters in the world of video game dramas... I just can't forget her. :D

Pixelgate3804d ago

I listed the Ish story in my wish list of DLC for The Last of Us, think the link is in our submissions page of N4G ^^

Imalwaysright3802d ago

True. Ellie is the reason why TLoU story worked so well and I still want TLoU2 with her as the main character.

iMaim3803d ago

I"m more worried about what the gameplay is going to be like. She won't be as capable as she was in the Winter chapter.

ALARM-clock3802d ago (Edited 3802d ago )

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that we'll probably get to play as both Ellie and Riley. Riley, being older, is probably a lot more capable.

plaZeHD3802d ago

If she can't use guns, it's gonna be quite the disappointment for me.

moparful993802d ago

I like the idea of exploring ellies back story.. See how she lost her innocence so to speak.. seems like an interesting side plot..

AceBlazer133802d ago

Gonna probably be difficult facing infected and probably clickers with just two little girls.

Hopefully they do Ish next.

Jaces3802d ago

I was hoping for the missing years in between the breakout and 20 some years later. Would have loved to see Joel scalping people for their clothes/food whilst disposing of them like it was nothing. That and the falling out with his brother and how he came to meet Ish.

So many stories to tell, so little time.

Austin483802d ago

I think the sequal to the last of us will star ish just my opinion

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.

Chocoburger120d 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?
