Toronto Thumbs Review: The Last of Us

From the Review:

"I remember when I bought my Playstation 3. I purchased it so that I could review PS3 games for the site; I also really wanted to play Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm. When I opened the console packaging, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune slid out and plunked gently onto the table. In a total newb move, I placed it aside, figuring that it wouldn’t really be a good game (as it was part of a bundle). Imagine my utter shock and surprise when I put that disc into my PS3 a few weeks later only to lose myself in something that was far more than a game.

Naughty Dog has done that again with their latest PS3 exclusive: The Last of Us, a third-person survival-action horror game. They have managed to create something that transcends the meaning of “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."

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?
