The Last of Us is the PS3's Crowning Achievement

A few years ago, developer Naughty Dog became a rising star in the third-person action-adventure genre with the launch of their Uncharted franchise. After the release of Uncharted 3, Naughty Dog opted to take a break from their wildly successful, established franchise in order to pursue a new IP. In what is essentially the PlayStation 3’s swan song, Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us has given the rest of us what can very nearly be described as the perfect game—and a pinnacle title for the console—from both a technical and artistic standpoint.

At the very least, it's a very deserving contestant for the title.

If you haven't played it already, then do so (assuming that you have access to a PS3). The game is truly a masterpiece.

HarryMasonHerpderp3953d ago

There's a lot of haters.
An to those haters I say stop being fanboys and just get the game. You're the only ones missing out here. If you're a true gamer then you would want to play this game it's as simple as that.

I Love TLoU and am on my second playthrough. Survivor is definatly the way the game was meant to be played.

I have to say though, I am still interested by Beyond Two Souls (especially after all the bullabaloo with Ellen page's likeness).

I guess it'll be between these two games, but I have to say TLoU is so far the strongest contender (obviously).

Veneno3952d ago

I want to play survivor but im disappointed that you can't play survivor plus without playing survivor normal. It's the game of the generation and all, but who has that kind of time?

AHall883953d ago

I'm happy with just MGS4. :p

friedricr3953d ago

how you get a 1-11 disagree ... beyond me ... seriously ... its really either this game or MGS4 ... with uncharted 2/3 close behind.

theWB273953d ago

I cant play it since Im waiting on my flat screen to be fixed. PS3 in hand...Last of Us just sitting there and I cant play. Blowing my mind right now...

Ezz20133953d ago

i know the pain

it must be teasing you and telling you :
"hey, you want to touch this?! ....ha?!....want to play me?!...you don't deserve me HAHA"

theWB273953d ago

That comment hit home harder than it should have. I've still been able to maintain pretty much complete blackout. I know as much as if the game were to be released in 2 years. But that comment...my heart.

Williamson3953d ago

Anyone else want savage starlight to become a game?

brettyd3953d ago (Edited 3953d ago )

I'm pretty sure it was suppose to be a parody of Mass Effect.

Williamson3953d ago

Oh I see, never played the ME series so I didn't know.

ApolloTheBoss3953d ago

Way to go out with a bang, PS3. Wait what am I saying?! PS3 ain't going nowhere for a LONG time. :)

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."

anast82d 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.

AlterRecs79d 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"

anast79d 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.

AlterRecs78d 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

anast78d ago

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

DrDoomer82d ago

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

CrimsonWing6982d ago

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

AlterRecs79d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6979d 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.

Chocoburger127d 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.

seanpitt2382d 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

Linzoid126d 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…

anast126d 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?
