The Last of Us – Gaming at its finest

Xbigy Games writes:

Naughty Dog have made a name for themselves with creating cinematic video games. The Uncharted series is often compared to summer blockbusters, especially the Indiana Jones films. When describing The Last of Us to people the best way I can think to describe it is comparing it to The Road; both have a brilliant companion story, post-apocalyptic setting and extremely dark and depressing tone. Once again Naughty Dog seem to have taken the ideas of Hollywood and twisted them into their own amazing game. The Last of Us is not a carbon copy of other films, but rather draws inspiration from them to create a new experience that pushes the idea of video games being an artistic medium.

This is easily the best looking game this gen hands down. It's a masterpiece of story, tech, and emotional involvement. Great joh Naughty Dog. You've shown that there's plenty of power left in the PS3.

Jiggy7d3933d ago

Can't even start to imagine what Naughty Dog can do with PS4.....if they managed to develop this masterpiece with 7-year old console technology:)

xHeavYx3933d ago

Don't even mention what ND can do on the PS4, makes me salivate

At the end of a gen you always get true gems when devs know how to push tech to its limits :D

Funny how the first 3 comments have 1 neg vote each, obviously from the jealous 360 user!

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."

anast75d 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.

AlterRecs72d 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"

anast72d 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.

AlterRecs71d 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

anast71d ago

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

DrDoomer75d ago

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

CrimsonWing6975d ago

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

AlterRecs72d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6972d 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.

Chocoburger120d 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.

seanpitt2375d 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

Linzoid119d 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…

anast119d 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?
