Something tells me TLOU is going to be hanging around for quite some time.

I checked with my local retailer in Edmonton (canada) and they were still out of stock yesterday. Hopefully they'll have more copies in this afternoon. :)

Well deserved sales. Great to see an awesome western game do well in Japan.

japs have a horrible taste in games i guess monster catching and dated jrpg mechanics is as much as what we are going to expect from this country full of racist pedophiles.

TheFirstClassic3932d ago

I think you need to take a look at yourself when you call others racist. That was one incredibly ignorant comment.

knifefight3932d ago

I don't know why it mentions a 57% drop like that's unheard of or unexpected. Every game, almost without exception, sees that happen in its first couple of weeks in Japan. It's the way sales go in Japan. Gundam Breaker, for example, was #1 last week but dropped 84%. It's pretty normal.

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."

anast74d 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.

AlterRecs71d 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"

anast71d 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.

AlterRecs70d 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

anast70d ago

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

DrDoomer74d ago

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

CrimsonWing6974d ago

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

AlterRecs71d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6971d 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.

Chocoburger118d 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.

seanpitt2374d 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

Linzoid118d 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…

anast118d 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?
