The Last of Us preview | Gamereactor UK

GR-UK writes: "..barely a handful of encounters over the space of an hour. We've still to get a feel for the relationship between Joel and Ellie, and how much more there is to the game beyond these - admittedly frantic - stealth-driven moments. But Naughty Dog's earned our trust after a generation's worth of great adventures. Even if their last one isn't going to leave us smiling. Amazing that one of the most horrific experiences this gen comes from a company that was known for a deranged marsupial. How far we've come."

Naughty Dog seem to always get the atmosphere of a game spot on. If this is truly a scary game that just makes me even more excited.

"You can strangle infected if you sneak up behind them, but as neither type stick to specific routes when shuffling around, even this action is dangerous"
This makes me so happy, Knowing where an enemy will always be and the route they will take just takes away from a game like this.

I'm just going to have to play it for myself because I'm getting a mixed bag of impressions from the review, and rightfully so because, whether the reviewer admits it or not, he had a frustrating time. Hopefully, The relationship aspect of the game will open up. I don't want to play this game and that little girl is some useless A.I that is more of an annoyance than an impact outside of the story being told. There are too many games where the protagonist is strapped with the weaknesses of it's counter part right from the jump.
I hope a balance is created where her strengths are my weakness, and vice versa. A balance of protection is created from those aspects. The stronger character is being choked,she frantically picks up a bottle and hits the zombie with it just enough to create an opening.
Let's see how this shapes up

Reverent4061d ago

This wasn't a review. This guy didn't play though the entire game, or even close to it for that matter.

giovonni4060d ago

You are right, my bad. After reading it a few times. It's not a mix its, more of a sense of the gaming mechanics. I still hope this game is a classoc

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."

anast75d 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.

AlterRecs72d 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"

anast72d 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.

AlterRecs71d 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

anast71d ago

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

DrDoomer75d ago

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

CrimsonWing6975d ago

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

AlterRecs72d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6972d 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.

seanpitt2375d 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

Linzoid119d 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…

anast119d 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?
