Here Are Some Reasons Why The Last of Us Should Be Great

The Last of Us is an upcoming third person action-adventure/survival game by Naughty Dog, makers of universally acclaimed games such as the Crash Bandicoot series, Jak and Daxter and, more recently, the Uncharted series. It is set for release on May 7th 2013 for the Playstation 3 and is my most anticipated game of 2013 (this is subject to change depending on a Metal Gear Solid release date). I would now like to take the time to explain to you why that is.

their attention to detail still amazes me. I honestly feel their character designs are top notch unlike other games where characters are beyond ugly.

That BEARD!!I mean...just wow,so manly!

You speak the truth. Once the last disposable razor has gone dull, and society has (sadly) forgotten how to use cut-throats, men will grow beards.

All they had to say was that Naughty Dog is making it...

charted4152d ago

That is such a naive statement. Yes ND is making it, and by their track record they are good at what they do but to just blindly follow any publisher/dev is not a good show for gamers.

As the companies will get the idea that they can put anything together and it will sell. Currently some companies are doing this and doing it well!

youndamie4152d ago

There are certain developers that have earned the prestige of having their fans buy their games every time. There are also once great developers that lost that prestige such as Capcom and Square Enix.

Bathyj4152d ago

Does anyone really think Naughty Dog are going to rest on their laurels and just coast?

They're the last devs who would do that. Faith in the quality of their upcoming games is justified. Its not blindly following, its informed opinion.

youndamie4152d ago

Yes there are only two developers in which I would buy any title they release, that is Naughty Dog and Rockstar.

“There are risks to this because now the group knows. The AI know about each other – they’re searching rooms and they split up but then they’re going to reform and one of them doesn’t show up, he’s going to start asking, ‘Where’d he go?’ They’re going to start looking for their buddy and they’re going to start getting panicked, like ‘Something’s up.’ Suddenly there’s a risk even to taking out somebody stealthily and you still have to move around. That’s part of our dynamic AI system here, our dynamic stealth."

This is why this game is raising the bar, and not just in graphics and story telling. AI has stood stagnant for too long, and I think once this game is out and had time to be digested other devs are going to look at their games and say, damn, we need to do better.

i can't think of any game this gen with that kind of dynamic AI

showtimefolks4152d ago

its made by ND who have a long history of making great games that i love

that's my only reason

ozzywazzy4152d ago

There need not be reasons! It's Naughty Dog.

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."

anast83d 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.

AlterRecs80d 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"

anast79d 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.

AlterRecs78d 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

anast78d ago

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

DrDoomer82d ago

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

CrimsonWing6982d ago

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

AlterRecs80d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6979d 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.

Chocoburger127d 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.

seanpitt2383d 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

Linzoid127d 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…

anast126d 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?
