Naughty Dog shouldn’t make a sequel to The Last Of Us

From the article, "The Last Of Us is getting the VIP treatment from Sony. There’s going to be a live performance of the game’s script, a big promotional push is in effect for the PS4 remastered version of the game, and, of course, there’s talk of a sequel. But that last one really shouldn’t be happening at all. It’s natural for a company to follow up a success with something we want more of, especially in the gaming community. But The Last Of Us shouldn’t see a sequel for two reasons."

How about you kindly stfu and if you don't want as sequel don't play it.

JBSleek3563d ago

It's an opinion piece. Why are you that upset about an opinion. It's not like Naughty Dog is listening to them.

SeanScythe3563d ago

It's my opinion that people like him need to quit with this "WE" crap. His post says we'd prefer they not make a sequel. Next time he should say that he would prefer they not make one. Stupid points and just someone looking for hits.

The fact is, if ND do make a sequel, it will in no way detract from the absolute brilliance of TLOU.

What people are assuming is that the team will not be ablto so surpass TLOU!

Let me remind you all of Uncharted 1 > Uncharted 2.

'nuff said.

ReesesPuffs3562d ago

You put the greater/less than sign in the wrong spot but I see what you're saying lol

joab7773563d ago

I understand why many would love to leave ot as is...its a great self contained story.

Also, I believe that Naughty Dog could just as easily pen a new master piece from scratch...and I would love to see what they would come up with.

But, the popularity and financial stakes are very high for Sony...so my hopes are that they find a new story to tell with new characters...or a much older Ellie when they do ultimately make it.

why are "you" upset that he has an opinion that the authors opinion is crap.

SonyMontana3563d ago

You honestly don't want a continuation of one of the greatest story lines in video game history? A good writer could build upon the story that began in the first release, I don't see why that's hard to believe. Change your article to "Naughty Dog shouldn't make a sequel to The Last Of Us, until they have a stellar continuation of the story line" and I'll agree with you.

Sony make gaming generations feel special every time with their exclusives why anyone wouldn't want a sequal/prequal of one of the best games they've ever made is crazy i for 1 would be blown away at the news of the release of TLOU2 and i don't see how it would take away anything from the original game only add to one of the best story's iv'e played,i can't give enough praise for what they achieved with Uncharted and would like TLOU to go in the same direction.

jhoward5853563d ago (Edited 3563d ago )

ND making a sequel to The Last Of Us is an excellent idea. But TLOU sequel might be overshadowed by the Division unless ND gives TLOU(sequel) a twist to its storyline/intense action. Using the same level(or near) of action/suspense may not be as successful as the first.

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.

Chocoburger126d 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

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…

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?
