The Last of Us release ahead of possible PS4 announcement

Peter Chubb:

A few days ago we told you that there was a rumor that Naughty Dog’s newest IP was to be released in the Spring (around the same time as GTA 5), we can now tell you that this was pretty much spot on because The Last of Us release date will be on the 7th of May. Now if we are to believe other rumors, then this could be just ahead of a possible PS4 announcement in June.

Failing to see how The Last of Us means we are getting a PS4...

Riderz13374155d ago

Well people were expecting this to come out at the end of 2013 (September-December) and if that was the case then there was no way Sony was going to release the PS4 just so it could compete with itself. This does not confirm PS4 coming out during Q2-Q3 of 2013 but there is a very good possibility that it will. Also how many games are schedules to be released during September-December? Just look at this, http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
There is no game schedules to release for PS3/Xbox 360 during September to December.

Originally The Last of Us was supposed to be released in late 2012.

Yep, the fact that Sony wont save this for Q4 gives a strong hint that they are wrapping up with the PS3.

This also seems to suggest that the Last Guardian will probably launch on PS4.

Looks FF versus is going for PS4 like Last Guardian.

Brian1rr4155d ago

It's not the game it's the timing

SilentNegotiator4154d ago

It's pure speculation that it's release date change from fall to summer means that it's "getting out of the way" of PS4.

Belking4155d ago

I'm excited about the last of us next year but it doesn't mean anything about the ps4 will be announced next year. I hope it does but I don't see it. sony is still trying to recover from those staggering losses they have and vita is still struggling to find its way into the market. I'm still hoping for 2014 at the latest. Only one will be released next year and all signs point to the next xbox by this time next year.

Swiftcricket4155d ago

I agreed with you because I see nothing wrong with your thoughts on this, but thought I might share why this could possibly mean for PS4. It's no guarantee by any means but it is actually a small glimmer of hope. As soon as that release date showed on the screen "PS4 announcement at E3" was the first thing that popped into my head.

Just seems like Sony is getting some of their big releases out just before E3 (so that the PS4 announcement won't overshadow them and hurt sales), and their rather empty holiday season next year being a possible sign that it could release in that time frame. I'd say the former is very likely to happen but I wouldn't bet a whole lot of money on the latter. I won't be surprised if it does release next year though. Plans change, we could get both consoles next year.

Riderz13374154d ago

Their gaming division is one of the very few divisions actually making money. No way Sony would let Microsoft/Nintendo have a year+ with them being the only 2 consoles on the market. They made a huge mistake not releasing the PS3 earlier and they won't make that same mistake again. They'll invest more money into their gaming division whilst decreasing their investment in their TV division since that thing hasn't made a profit in YEARS. Regarding your vita statement, if Sony drops the price of the Vita to 199$ that thing will sell like hot cakes. I honestly don't see a huge problem with the 250$ price tag right now but if you include the high price of memory cards, then I can see that being a problem for some. Decrease the price of Vita to 199$ and keep the 250$ Vita BUT include a 32 gb memory card. Shouldn't be a problem selling that.

Belking4154d ago (Edited 4154d ago )

It's not much they can do about MS or Nintendo beating them to the market. They aren't going to win any battles when it comes to spending money because they just don't have the cash reserves that the other two have. Their gaming division isn't doing bad but not as well as people think. The vita sort of set them back a little. The software support for it is really hurting them.

k-dillinger4154d ago

yea if they dropped the price of vita to 199 a few months later gamers are still gonna say its too expensive and crying for a price drop yet again

VonBraunschweigg4154d ago

Just give-us a heads-up allright? Some time to save our money. Right now I'm not a rich man, so if I have to put down 500 or 600 on launchday again, and I don't mind doing that, just give me a few months extra this time. No, I don't mean delay it for Europe like last time, just a early notice. Say at GDC, so I can adjust my summerholiday plans. With E3 that may be too late. On behalf of all the poor paupers among us, thanx in advance:)

gamern4g4154d ago

I dont believe that year 2013 brings us new consoles. One of my friend is working in EA and he told me "not sure", nothing else, he cant tell me the truth.

Neo-Axl4154d ago

Get him drunk, he'll spill the whole next gen story with ya.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis10h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast8h ago

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg1d 4h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d 4h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 6h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 5h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1d 3h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast8h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake1d 1h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast8h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon21h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast8h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

gold_drake2h ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast1h ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
