Why We're Excited About 2013: The Last of Us | 1UP

1UP: "Somewhere in your genetic make-up -- deeper down for some -- nature has put in the code for paternal instincts. Once you have a child, the drive to protect that little bundle of joy is incredibly overwhelming. Every scratch and bruise, every time another snot-nosed kid acts like a bully, it feels like you're taking on the wound ten-fold. The Last of Us may have figured out how to tap into those emotions, tugging at our heart-strings to create a narrative with real staying power."

Anything Naughty touches turns to gold. Super hyped for this game.

Ezz20134128d ago

it's Naughty dog
since ps1 till now they never made a bad game
all uncharted games were awesome and won HUGE (and i mean HUGE)numbers of GOTY awards
Jak and daxter games are awesome
crash games are awesome
the last of us won't be any different than those games
it will hit big and win sh1t load of GOTY awards and score very high

DoctorNefarious1234128d ago

Yeah it will be noting short of a runaway success.

pain777pas4127d ago

Must absolutely agree here. ND is in my honest opinion the best and most consistent developer that can make open world games like Jak 2 and 3, racing games CTR and Jak X, action adventure UC series and platformers with Jak 1 and Crash series. Unquestionable top shelf AAA quality and production values from the inception of the studio till now almost 20 years later. Yes, there consistency to quality in unbelievable.

Oldman1004127d ago

I'm sure Naughty Dog will yet again raise the bar and show other developers how it should be done. The Last of Us and GTA 5 are my most anticipated games this year. And then there's all those other amazing titles that are worth playing. 2013 is going to be one hell of a year for us gamers.

Hanso4127d ago

too many games coming out this year omg

DeletedAcc4127d ago (Edited 4127d ago )

THE LAST OF US will be my game of all time
I dont care of reviews or anything like that
I know it since the first information came out (no demo gameplay no screens, nothin except a few infos and 2 short disturbing teaser vids)

GribbleGrunger4127d ago (Edited 4127d ago )

It's going to be interesting to read the complaints from people who go in all guns blazing only to realize they have no bullets left later on. This is the balancing act I'm most looking forward to. Do you stealth as much as possible or do you risk all and hope you can take more ammunition from felled foes than you would if you searched carefully and quietly? Then we have to ask ourselves, is that fungal infection limited to humans?

specsmatter4127d ago

It amazes me Gribble how ppl say this a pro Sony site, yet you only have two bubbles and other bozos who spew out total nonsense trolling against Ps3 and everything Sony have more than three lol

As for the mods lol well we all know they def. aren't neutral or pro Sony lol

DigitalRaptor4127d ago (Edited 4127d ago )

Gribble, I say now that I can't be bothered to read what those sort of people have to say, with no-name sites trying to drag down an excellent game or complaining for reasons such as you mentioned and nitpicking elsewhere. I mean we already have a specific hater on here already, who somehow thrives on ignorance.

On the matter of the game, I also can't wait to approach it in a number of ways on different playthroughs. I think the choices you make on first playthough will cut the memory deepest, just like in Quantic Dream productions and series like Mass Effect. That is what I'm most interested in, well besides how deep inventory management runs and how the story/characters/locations/rel ationships/enemies develop.

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."

anast80d 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.

AlterRecs77d 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"

anast77d 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.

AlterRecs76d 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

anast76d ago

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

DrDoomer80d ago

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

CrimsonWing6980d ago

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

AlterRecs77d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6977d 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.

Chocoburger125d 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.

seanpitt2380d 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

Linzoid124d 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…

anast124d 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?
