I highly doubt in the games created universe that Joel and Ellie will be able to live happily ever after in Tommy's town somewhere in Wyoming.

It could be heavily attacked and they are forced to seek out a new place to live or Ellie will find out Joel lied to her and decides to leave him promting him to go out and search for her

I still believe there is a few ways they could go about this.

Army_of_Darkness4289d ago (Edited 4289d ago )

Maybe just use new protagonists showing how they were dealing with everything??
Final fantasy did it all the time back then and it worked well.

GarrusVakarian4289d ago

Yeah, i would much rather have new protagonists, as much as i love Joel and Ellies story, it would be nice to see that world from another group or another characters perspective.

Insomnia_844289d ago (Edited 4289d ago )

The story of the boy and father that Ellie meets while looking for food and medicine for Joel. Imagine playing as the boy, then Ellie shows up and you replay that little bit and they give you a choice to play with the boy or father whoever it is that you're playing with at the moment AND giving you a choice to play with Ellie that bit, then watch Ellie leave to aid Joel and have those flash backs of what you know is going to happen later to them. THAT would be pretty effing cool!!

Reverent4289d ago (Edited 4289d ago )

This is the first video game to acknowledge my home state's (Yep, Wyoming) existence. Kind of refreshing. Whatever happens, I hope Ellie (assuming the two will remain the main protagonists in a possible sequel) will get more actual playable time. It was awesome as hell playing as her throughout the winter chapter.

If it were to take place with all new characters, I'm fine with that too. Nothing wrong with letting Joel and Ellie live happily ever after, especially after everything they went through.

bloodybutcher4289d ago

new characters would be better, maybe they can encaunter Joel and Ellie on their path and travel with them for a level or two.

kparks4288d ago

I want a prequel from the time the outbreak started would be cool!

Eonjay4288d ago

There is so much good content in this presentation. I have a much better understanding of the game. That is the real story here. There is so much thought that went into this. OMG... @40:00 is the answer. I am so impressed. Also, he created Ellie as a role model for female and was inspired to do so for his daughter.

Austin484289d ago

I hope they continue the story and I hope they make 5 sequals that is as good as the first game naughty dog please make more they will be masterpieces

THC CELL4289d ago

A mmo of the last of us would be perfect

Reverent4289d ago (Edited 4289d ago )

An open world game based in that universe would be cool, but the isolation of playing by yourself is a huge factor for me. Multiplayer takes away from the experience as well as making it harder to connect with the game's characters.

hellzsupernova4289d ago

I was thinking open world would be cool

LOL_WUT4289d ago

A new ip coupled with new hardware (PS4) would be awesome. ;)

the more new stuff the merrier. . .

Neil Druckmann Reveals He’s Working on an Unannounced Game at Naughty Dog

Neil Druckmann, the creative director of The Last of Us, is working on a new, unannounced game at Naughty Dog.

RaidenBlack41d ago

I know they've expertise in third person games.
But given the lack there of in PS catalog, I'd want the other project to be a narrative first person ND game.
Look, there are lots of 3rd person Sony games in variety of flavors. And ND is already doing intergalactic. And since they're pretty expert at gameplay and tech wise in whatever they do, they can easily venture a new genre and ship a first person game/shooter.

VenomUK41d ago

Hopefully the lead character is a boss babe who will challenge the patriarchy.

RaidenBlack41d ago

So, judging from the dislikes, hardcore Sony fans here don't like first person games, anymore?

arkard41d ago

Let naughty dog do what they are great at, 3rd person games

crazyCoconuts41d ago

I don't really have a big opinion on first vs third person perspective. That's one of the least important things to me when rating how much I like a game

Flewid63841d ago

Sounds horrible. The downvotes are right on this one.

badz14941d ago

I actually hate 1st person. very hard to associate with a character you only see their hands most of the time.

OtterX41d ago

funny thing is with failures like Concord and soon to be Marathon, Factions could have been Sony's guaranteed huge success with a shooter! I don't ever play online shooters anymore, but I would have come out of shooter retirement for a new Factions game.

RaidenBlack40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

{ coming from the above thread }
So PS Fellas hate first person games now? (Understandable)
But praise Killzone and Resistance series, as well?
And hope for a return of first party first person games? ~ but from where? insomniac is deep in marvel territory, guerilla is deep in aloy territory ... suckerP are not as big to undertake that change + dedicated to Ghost series
The only options are ND and Santa Monica, who are rumoured to be involved in parallel projects. ~ so take your pick.
And the other 'new' studios at Sony are not that hot right now with knee deep in live service fiasco

darthv7241d ago

...Way of the Warrior 2: Electric Boogaloo

Amplitude41d ago

It’d be cool if they bought the Parappa licence and made Parappa 3 that’d be the real good timeline

Lightning7742d ago

Wait I thought they cancelled a game? Or did they announce another project?

https://wccftech.com/naught...

pwnmaster300042d ago (Edited 42d ago )

I’m assuming it’s the unannounced game in the title you posted.

“Naughty Dog Reportedly Canceled a Single Player Game This Year, But Another Unannounced Game Is Still in the Works“

Lightning7741d ago

OK I gotcha. That makes sense.

jznrpg41d ago

Devs cancel games all the time early stages if it doesn’t turn out the way they envisioned it. We just don’t hear about every one of them.

Notellin40d ago

Yeah only a narcissist like Druckmann would announce a game this early that has a 99% chance of being cancelled.

badz14941d ago

so a 2028 release at the soonest

Lightning7741d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Some speculate it could be Uncharted spin off. It's already 3 years in production so yeah 2028 maybe 2027 at the absolute earliest but most likely 28 release.

Also to add. kojimas next game that's not OD is said to be 5 to 6 years out for PS. That metal gear inspired game. These games are just too far off it seems.

pwnmaster300042d ago

This dude is busy.
So who is running intergalactic?

Knushwood Butt42d ago

'We have several directors on Intergalactic. I work with two game directors: Matthew Gallant and Kurt Margenau, [and] I have a co-writer in Clair Carré.'

pwnmaster300041d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Okay you got me, I skimmed the article and video .
Thanks lol

vTuro2441d ago

Cuckmann is going to be Naughty Dog's downfall.

itBourne41d ago

Going to be? The damage is already done lol.

Flewid63841d ago

Sunlight is good for you, I promise. lol

vTuro2440d ago

Damage has been done but it's not too late yet if they dump him now. Probably won't happen though. It's sad, honestly. We'll see what happens after Intergalactic. That game is going to have a huge impact one way or another.

StormSnooper40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

Yes because they didn’t make some of the greatest games. Right, we all just agree to live in your fantasy from now on.

Flewid63841d ago

yall say that about ever developer and then they end up becoming more successful lol

mkis00741d ago

Downfall? If anything he is a huge reason they are on the map! A few apes don't like the material hasn't stopped his games from being massive hits.

DarXyde41d ago

I have grievances with Druckmann, but he does deserve some benefit of the doubt. He's been in crucial roles at the company through all of their successes.

Maybe wait and see?

Interesting. So they are working on more than we knew.

Ex-Naughty Dog Dev Says Resident Evil 4 Inspired Uncharted and Many More Action Games

Former Naughty Dog dev says Resident Evil 4 inspired Unchartted and even Gears of War, particularly the over-the-shoulder camera view.

CrimsonWing6943d ago

It revolutionized third-person shooters, in a genius way that gives you full control of aiming.

CrimsonWing6942d ago

No, I mean RE4. Like the whole snap to over-shoulder and precision aiming was what I meant.

I won’t deny Winback does pave the way in some respect. But it’s not the same at all.

InUrFoxHole43d ago

Both are great series. That's awesome

Samonuske43d ago

I thought this was common knowledge. Resident Evil Revolutionised over the shoulder aiming in 3rd person shooters/action games

italiangamer43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

Influenced basically every third person action game made after it, GTA uses the over the shoulder perspective when shooting since the 4th installment, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 too and the Batman Arkham series has the over the shoulder perspective as the main camera throughout the whole game series.
Obviously there are a ton more examples but you get the point 🗿.
