The Last of Us – An Open Love Letter To Naughty Dog

Johnny Cullen says: You managed to make one of the greatest games ever at the tail-end of the PlayStation 3′s lifecycle as this generation comes to an end. You made a showcase that immortalises games as something more than just a stupid niche thing but as a truly wonderful brand of entertainment. And after eight years, you gave me my newest favorite game ever. You have made something truly, truly special. And as a whole, you’ve become a teller of the most amazing, mature stories

Speaking as a fan, not a games journalist, I only have one thing to say to close this off.

To all at Naughty Dog and to Troy and Ashley: Thank you. Just, thank you.

wow that's awesome

lucky me i will have the game tonight
and based on who got to play the game early from neogaf and other sites ....every one of them confirm that it's their game of this gen and a biggest contender for GOTY

very few games that live up to it hype and the last of us is one of them

DigitalRaptor3967d ago

I've read some NeoGaf comments too from people who have played it. Such includes:

"The last moments of this game will define this generation."

Hardly ever been this excited for a game.

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."

anast77d 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.

AlterRecs74d 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"

anast74d 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.

AlterRecs73d 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

anast73d ago

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

DrDoomer77d ago

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

CrimsonWing6977d ago

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

AlterRecs74d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6974d 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.

Chocoburger121d 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.

seanpitt2377d 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

Linzoid121d 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…

anast121d 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?
