Oh? Well this is interesting i trust naughty dog completely.

Not sure what the combat will be like. All the melee stuff and crafting she does is learned from Joel.

She never even seen a Runner, Clicker, or Bloater so who/what is she fighting?

She didn't get her first kill until she saved Joel so if she's fighting humans, she doesn't kill anybody.

Maybe we'll be playing as Riley? Since we know almost nothing about her, it's very possible that she has seen the rougher parts of the world and is well versed in combat, like Ellie comes to be.

@Queasy, yeah, I see that now. Well, then maybe it will all be really stealth/non-lethal based? Lol, now I'm confused because Ellie really does have no combat experience before meeting up with Joel. And I don't feel like Naughty Dog would go all Deus Ex Machina on us by changing some plot elements. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Naughty Dog has said that Ellie is the only playable character though.

Austin483754d ago

Zizi3754d ago

It is said "the first story DLC", so there will be another story DLC in the future? I hope so. I think I'm getting the GOTY edition if that's available later this year. Can't waiiittt!!

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."

anast83d 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.

AlterRecs80d 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"

anast80d 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.

AlterRecs79d 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

anast79d ago

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

DrDoomer83d ago

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

CrimsonWing6983d ago

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

AlterRecs80d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6980d 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.

seanpitt2383d 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

Linzoid127d 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…

anast127d 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?
