A great game that deserves great sales

GraveLord3940d ago

IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THIS GAME GO AND PLAY IT NAO!

mayberry3940d ago

Alot of people (including myself), were wondering before this release if it was going to garner any significant sales numbers because of the simple fact that it is a "new" IP. I am pleasantly surprised that it is selling like a BOSS!

Ares84HU3940d ago

Off topic but.....

.....how does a BOSS sell?? :D

GribbleGrunger3940d ago (Edited 3940d ago )

Like TLOU :)

mayberry3940d ago

A "BOSS" is the boss because he/she sold the most to get where he/she is at in a business.... that person is the BOSS! k

@mayberry

You didn't answer my question though. What you said is an explanation of who the boss is not how does a boss sell. Just saying....

showtimefolks3940d ago

the idea that you can't launch new IP's and be successful has been proven wrong by this and dishonored, if you have make a great game people will buy no matter if it comes out in the first year or gen or last

LoaMcLoa3940d ago

Indeed, I think it most depends on timing, marketing and of course quality.

All the perfect scores and praise are probably the biggest reasons why it's been selling (so deservingly) well.

jukins3940d ago

Yea I honestly didn't think it was gonna sell that great even though it had one of the better ad campaigns as far as Sony exclusives go. That said the sales it has are well deserved and hope it continues.

showtimefolks3940d ago

i am hopeful in the first 12 months it can do atleast 8 plus million, ND deserve every single sale and than some

TongkatAli3940d ago

Everyone should get this twice, Naughty Dog deserve it. It looked expensive to make too.

medman3940d ago

This game should be experienced by anyone who considers themselves a fan of gaming. It is a masterclass in game design and storytelling. I highly recommend playing this game on the survival difficulty setting, as that really makes you feel the fear of knowing just how tenuous your hold on life is and walking into an environment having no idea how many infected or human opponents there are while having little to no resources at your disposal really makes you feel the desperation of the situation to a heightened degree. Some of my favorite games of this gen are Mass Effect (all of them), Uncharted 2, God of War 3, Infamous 2, Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite, and MGS4. The Last of Us can go toe to toe with any of those games, and is undoubtedly one of the best games of this generation. If you don't have the ability to play this game, you really are missing out on one of the best experiences in gaming.

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."

anast81d 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.

AlterRecs78d 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"

anast78d 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.

AlterRecs77d 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

anast77d ago

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

DrDoomer81d ago

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

CrimsonWing6981d ago

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

AlterRecs78d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6978d 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.

seanpitt2381d 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

Linzoid125d 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…

anast125d 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?
