The Last Of Us Survival Guide: Listen Mode

GamerSyndrome writes: Understanding the many gameplay mechanics of The Last Of Us is going to be one of the most important things to do in the game: fighting all enemies in the game will only lead you to an early grave. Stealth is the key and prior information on the enemies’ capabilities and positions will prove to be more important than ever.

Listen Mode is good for new comers to the game, But if you want a true experience...

Try to play without Listen Mode, It get's a hella lot scary that way! (Did the whole game without it, Hard enough even on normal).

EDIT: Or is that how it works? I don't know because I turned it off before starting it on friday =/

Inception3960d ago

Yeah, i beat the game on normal without listen mode, and it's very tense. Now i replay it on hard diff without listen mode too.

But i think listen mode is not an overpower / gamebreaking ability. It really help on MP, even though we can only use it for two or three times before the gauge fill again.

JackBNimble3960d ago

you already beat the game? How many hours did that take you?
I just bought it off psn (still DLing) as we speak.

GentlemenRUs3960d ago

@JackBNimble

Think it took me like 10-13 hours but the game was made to last 10-16 hours on singleplayer.

All I can say is, You got a lot coming your way!

@JackBNimble
16 hours with stealth and eksploring the area collecting some tags, comics, or notes.

wastedcells3960d ago

I agree. I'm not using it. Feel like it takes away from the immersion. But it's there for people who like that sort of thing.

Bruce_Wayne3960d ago

I agree that it takes away from the tension. I was at the part in the dark subway with Ellie and Tess and that was the last time that I used Listen Mode. It's much more exciting and frightening when you're not using it. As a matter of fact, I somewhat regret using it. :(

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?
