this is possibly the first game that got me hooked from beginning to ending. im currently on my 3rd playthrough LOL. not even demons souls did that to me.

what i would really REALLY like, and im prbably not the only one to agree on this. i would like for episodic dlc for this game. naughty already said that joel and ellies stories are done. i would like the episodes to wrap up this whole story arc (ie: tommy, bill, pre-tess, pre-henry/sam, ish, even david). that way if they have a sequel, they can start with a whole new arc. this universe is RIPE for the taking.

theDECAY3960d ago

I hope, and it would make sense, that the DLC has new multi player modes that include co-op fighting off infected. Or just including game modes that include infected as well as the opposing team.

Story driven DLC will of course be awesome too.

Xer0_SiN3960d ago

actually, i think you may get your wish on the coop part. i been reading that they are looking to implement a coop survival mode, akin to horde mode.

theDECAY3960d ago

Who is disagreeing with me. I just said that all forms of DLC would be cool.

SPOILERS IN THIS THREAD GUYS. DO NOT READ

GribbleGrunger3960d ago (Edited 3960d ago )

STOP HERE. DO NOT SCROLL DOWN

DON'T DOWN BUBBLE HIM THOUGH. HE JUST MADE A MISTAKE

ThatCanadianGuy5143960d ago

I think the SP DLC will be about Joels transformation into a brutal, almost heartless, survivor.

Likely taking place directly after or soon after the prologue with his daughter.There was just to many throwbacks to his pasts throughout the game for them not to focus on it.

Should be good!

Xer0_SiN3960d ago

i agree! any type of single-player experience would be welcomed. there are just soo many side paths that naughty can go down and venture, its ridiculous!

RE_L_MAYER3960d ago

its been awhile since I said that is one of the few masterpieces that I will remember years to come-great great game and Im talking about single player of course

WARNING: SPOILERS IN MY COMMENT DIRECTLY BELOW!!!

DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED THE GAME!!!!!!

Sorry this isn't a reply, I just wanted to warn people

McScroggz3960d ago (Edited 3960d ago )

You could just edit your comment with a spoiler warning like an adult.

Just like I have. Though I find it curious you say you wish you could edit your comment and I see you've edited two comments on this page...

ps3vita4life3960d ago

My first choice would have been to edit the comment to remove the spoiler but it was to late because too much time had already passed and N4G doesn't allow you to edit your comment after a certain time period. The only reason I wrote these two warnings was because I couldn't possibly edit my comment.

ps3vita4life3960d ago

I recently just finished up this game and I have to say that The Last of Us is truly a masterpiece and everything that I had hoped for. The game really hooked me from start to finish and I really sympathized with all the characters. The ending surprised me in good way and I am glad that both Joel and Ellie lived. I really hope that Naughty Dog makes a sequel on the PS4.

Rockefellow3960d ago

Not to be a jerk, but I bet if you hadn't beat the game yet and you read this comment section and someone gave the ending away like you just did, you'd probably be pretty pissed.

Xer0_SiN3960d ago

i dont think he gave any much, if any. the story is so deep that seeing the words 'joel', 'ellie', 'survive', is nothing much to go on. play the game and youll be pleasantly surprised.

ps3vita4life3960d ago (Edited 3960d ago )

My bad, while I was writing the comment I totally forgot that I was spoiling the game. I really wish I could edit my comment so that I could remove that part or at least warn other people that a spoiler was coming. The last thing I would want to do is spoil a game especially this one. If I just could edit it so that no one else can see it. Anyways sorry for the people I ruined it for :(

ps3vita4life3960d ago

WARNING: SPOILERS IN MY COMMENT UP ABOVE !!!!!!!

theDECAY3960d ago

Anyone reading though these comments should at least not be THAT pissed. I avoided all N4G articles about TLOU, until I beat it, because I'm not an idiot.

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."

anast82d 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.

AlterRecs79d 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"

anast79d 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.

AlterRecs78d 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

anast78d ago

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

DrDoomer82d ago

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

CrimsonWing6982d ago

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

AlterRecs79d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6979d 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.

seanpitt2382d 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…

anast126d 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?
