I don't really agree with the article. Not because the author didn't make great points, or that it was poorly written. I just think that neither of these characters make me feel like I am escorting them. For the most part they take care of themselves and have even gotten me out of a jam a few times.

Elizabeth > generic companion trying to be witty

One does not"escort" either of these characters in the traditional sense; they look after themselves -- Elizabeth regularly passes along ammo; Ellie joins the fray and fights.

They are each unique, valuable and impressive in their own way.

No real basis for comparing them --let alone choosing one as "the winner".

Sorry but "escorting at its finest" makes me think of "prostitution at its finest".

You must know what an escort is Kran ;)

I'd say Elizabeth was less annoying, though Ellie gets credit for actually fighting. The AI in general with TLoU can get a little intrusive at times.

ltachiUchiha3956d ago

Its kind of unfair because elizabeth has powers where ellie is just a normal 14 year old girl. Also remember it is harder to create an ai partner especially when the game requires alot of stealth. Even though there are times ellie will break the immersion of being spotted naughty dog said they created it that way because they didnt want the player to get frustated if u were always seen. Plus the ai in the last of us is way more advanced then bioshock infinite. They dont even flank u, they just run straight to u like most ai do in most games. The ai in the last of us will try an flank u & come from all angles to kill u. Both partner ai's were great for what they were made to do but overall ai with the enemies included, the last of us triumphs in the overall experience.

Blacklash933956d ago (Edited 3956d ago )

We're talking about the partner AI, not the enemy AI. My point stands that Elizabeth is a less intrusive AI partner. She almost never blocked my path (unlike allies in TLoU who did it somewhat often), and never got stuck in obstacles for extended periods (until the next scripted point) which happened to Ellie twice in my game.

Elizabeth is less intrusive, but she isn't as ambitious. Ellie actually fights and participates more in combat, which I'll give her credit for. I guess it kind of evens out.

Ellie kept getting in my way, i say Elizabeth.

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."

anast84d 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.

AlterRecs81d 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"

anast81d 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.

AlterRecs80d 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

anast80d ago

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

DrDoomer84d ago

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

CrimsonWing6984d ago

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

AlterRecs81d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6981d 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.

Chocoburger128d 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.

seanpitt2384d 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

Linzoid128d 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…

anast128d 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?
