Trying to explain ‘The Last of Us’ to a non-gamer can be frustrating. Immediately, I found myself comparing it to a movie, just so people will hear me out, but then I realized that comparing it to a movie does it an injustice. Movies, TV, and books have long been thought of as the best ways to experience a story, but if you have you played and finished ‘The Last of Us,’ you will see why it told one of the deepest and emotional stories in any medium of entertainment.

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.
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"
They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.
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 team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.
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.
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
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…
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?
Totally agree, something you take part of and control yourself coupled with the immersive story telling = one hell of an experience.
Game of the generation
I'm truly attach to the characters especially Ellie. The reason she stood out to me was because we got to see her character grow. The winter season in the game is the most emotionally draining chapter because we see her go through so many obstacles on her own. After everything that happened you see how much everything has affected her mental state. Her struggles matured her towards the end. In my opinion she's one of the most well crafted characters in years. So much depth.
Dam this game was good, probably the best 20.2 hrs I've spent since Metal Gear 4. Purchased the soundtrack as well, great production values, my vote for game of the year. I think Joel should had considered the effects of his decisions involving humanity as a whole rather than letting his personal memories affect judgment. Heck that's good writing for you when it had me screaming at the TV what the heck are you doing Joel? A very good play on emotions, I felt his compassion, something I can't say about allot of other games.
On the flip side I was somewhat disappointed about the real time graphics. Inconsistent to say the least, especially in the beginning. Most levels looked good, great lighting effects, dense vegetation, great character models producing the wow factor I come to expect from my PS3. Other levels looked like 1st gen PS3 games with low res textures, blocky shadows, jaggies everywhere, lack of anisotropic filtering, and choppy frame rates.
If you want graphics, I guess stick to God of War 3/Ascensions and the upcoming Beyond 2 Souls. If you want great stories, graphics, and gameplay go with The Last of Us, and probably MGS 5 this fall.
Never have i been so emotionally attached to character's of a video game. Game of the generation for me! I urge all gamers to play this title its truly a masterpiece. To all gamers this is a must play.
Yes, it can. It has the most potential for story telling.
I don't get scared by movies, anymore.
I get scared by games.
I also have a much deeper connection with characters in a game. Especially if we're meant to take on the characters as our own selves. Heavy Rain is the best example of that. I felt actual guilt over some things I didn't really do.
