Exploring The Hype – Fighting Through The Last of Us

IM PLAYIN takes a look at the hype surrounding The Last of Us as they play through the remastered version on the PS4.

"As an Xbox 360 gamer I never had the chance to play The Last of Us on the PS3. I think that it must have been a regret for many of us as the game started to get award after award with scores of 9′s and 10′s across the board. “Could this game really be as good as everyone says?” I asked myself while I went back to the 360 silently hating the fact that there was this amazing game that I couldn’t play. I think Sony understood that, and the fact I can now play The Last of Us on the PS4 gave me a great chance to finally see what all the fuss was about."

I think that is a fair assesment, the game is built around a very believable story, you find yourself growing with the characters what happens to them matters and you want to be part of their survival.

This game was one of the few games where looking for stuff (bullets etc) felt more a matter of survival than an irritating chore, as a game it has redefined how important a story is in creating a great all round experience

nailed it with htat comment dude(have abubble)

last of us is almost perfection in a game imo.
the characters was perfect,level design was amazing and the plot and script was perfect.

Cheers for that ramiuk1 i hadn't seen it and how someone can disagree with what you said is beyond me.

Miss_Vixen3525d ago

Agreed, I've been playing video games ever since the Atari 2600, & rarely have I felt so much emotions & attachments to game characters.

You should check out the recent The Last of Us - One Night Live video.

It's definitely worth watching. You get to see the real-life cast of Joel, Ellie, Tess, Marlene & Sarah reenacting & doing live performances the important vital scenes from the game. The emotional scenes was particular very powerful & is a testaments to the acting abilities of the actors.

To me the voice acting is where it's at. The way Joel treats Ellie in the beginning compared to the end. You can really tell he grew to love her as a daughter. Not many games can get you that invested! It's almost like the walking dead universe. If the writing is good you can explore any character and it will make for a very emotional experience. While this game did have a few minor bugs. It's still one of the best games ever! Great article!

@amiga-man once i had watched it i just wanted to play it again.
The whole doc showing all the sound guys,the music,the cast etc its prob the best making of i have ever seen also.
Also the fact they didnt mocap the faces and it looked so real is mindblowing and probs to there animation team because looks better than mocapped most times

this site is mental with disagrees but its prob just anyone who hasnt played it because i think its prob the best game i have ever played period.i been gamingsince 1986 so have played a few games haha.

@miss_vixon i gonna watch that now thanks

toddybad3525d ago

I myself only recently played it after jumping from x360 to ps4. it's a brilliant story with many great moments. The only thing is - and this is the case with much modern gaming - at times it is like the old dragon's lair games that were hated in the 90s. You basically play something with no real choices or chance of failure simply to get to the next cut scene. it's almost like a film with playable moments. excellent modern game though.

spacedelete3525d ago

the last of us has plenty of "gameplay". i've played through the game about 4 times and these days i don't even finish games once. also theres the multiplayer which is just as good as the campaign. try grounded difficulty and then tell me if you still think its more story than gameplay.

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?
