Mike from Twinfinite writes, "Common wisdom seems to be that The Last of Us is the great white hope for movies adapted from video games; that its combination of top-tier performances, mature subject matter, and cinema-influenced visual style will be the magic formula that transcends the niche appeal of video games to film audiences. Here are a few reasons, however, why it’s not likely to be the one that pulls it off."
"The Game Music Foundation are today very proud and pleased to announce an additional concert, circling back to the roots of Game Muisic Festival in Poland. On April 28th, 2024, the National Forum of Music in Wroclaw will once again become a place to celebrate the art of video game music, featuring scores from The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II." - The Game Music Foundation.
Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."
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?
I think it's going to be hard to convey the emotional experience that made the game so powerful to the big screen. I think without a controller and hours poured into a unique experience like TLoU, it's only excepted that something would be lost from the transition to a film. Not to mention, you're asking the most awarded game ever, to be a translated into a medium that exactly panned out in the past. Not exactly an easy gig...
To convey the emotional experience of the game, you need top notch actors and they don't come cheap. Since they already have a solid foundation of the script from the game, they just need a big budget to secure some top hollywood actors to play the part and get a proven director. If they are going to be cheap about it, of course it's going to fail.
Screen Gems is giving Naughty Dog final say on actors and director. Neil is penning the script. Sam Raimi is producing because he didn't want it to fall into the wrong hands.
If any video game movie is going to succeed, it is this one.
The Comic Con panel was very informative.
BUt I thought I'd already seen the Last of Us movie last year, or World War Z as some people like to call it.
I disagree mainly because the Last of US uis basically The Road with Zombies and that made a perfectly fine movie.
Hell if they get the guy that directed it and hire Macy williams and get Rory Mcann to play ellie and joel they're pretty much onto a winner from the get go.
