Ever since Naughty Dog first emerged onto the gaming scene way back in 1989, fans have had the pleasure of watching the studio grow and evolve from one console generation to the next. With franchises like Jax and Daxter and Uncharted on their plate, there is absolutely no denying that the developers have proven that they have range when it comes to creating compelling content.
With the release of The Last of Us only a mere 3 months away, I had a chance to participate in a 30 minute hands-on demo for the game during last weekend’s PAX East expo in Boston. Did I walk away from this title seeing it as gaming's cure or an infected mess? Keep reading to find out my verdict on one of this year’s most anticipated games.

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.
The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.
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.
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…
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?
I'm gonna be real here. The guy in Last of Us is one sexy beast. No homo.
2 more months of waiting left then another few more months after for Beyond: Two Souls. Good year for ps3 owners :D
Infected mess?
Why would you even use those words?
Its clearly not.
No, TLoU is not a mess, but a 'savior' in the world of survival-themed games. We've rarely seen this kind of games these days. And that's why Naughty Dog put a stop on it. :)
I think the great thing about the challenge naughty dog is taking on is an amazing challenge because so many survival horror games have been bad as of late and fans of survival horror games are craving for a game that will bring the genre back. I think that is exactly what naughty dog is going to do with TLOU.
Been playing bioshock infinite and as great a first person shooter it is, maybe the best of this generation for story and beautiful atmosphere, this genre of gaming even without bioshock infinite would never be stale because of all the great fps games out there that keeps that genre satisfied.
With survival horror genre its been pretty stale as of late and the last great one was RE4 which was last gen unless u want to count TWD but thats not even an original IP & is the reason why I think TLOU will set the standard for survival horror games which gamers been craving for years.
