A decade after its release, one PlayStation exclusive's influence is still felt.
"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.
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.
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 loved The Last of Us too, very much... but damn, Game of the Century?
A masterpiece and one of the greatest videogames ever.
“Everyone was excited for its release, but nothing prepared us for what we actually got.“
THIS, this is true. Naughty Dog had already delivered great games on the PS2 that were loved by many, and than the PS3 generation came along and we see this new and interesting game from the studio “Uncharted” a series that would span 3 games on this console, and delivering one of the single greatest games of all time with its sequel game Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. A game that still does set pieces in video games better than games of today, that ND magic. A masterpiece for sure!
After ND’s success with the Uncharted series who woulda thought they’d deliver something like The Last of Us? I didn’t expect it, but I so much appreciate it. It was a story that some say didn’t have an original idea, think what they will, the characters we met, became like real people to us (while video game characters) characters that we saw and felt depicted real human emotion with every line of dialogue delivered, showing the absolute ugly side of us as humans, selfishness and greed, and what some will do to get what they do desire (especially in this world of chaos, loss and despair. But also showing the beautiful side of humans, honesty, truth, trust, building towards that trust and how not everyone is the same, and people can be trusted. Joel finding something to live for again, which was Ellie, and not just merely living to get by another day for himself. Many emotions. Along with that, we were shown this unforgiving world, that does not care who you are, death will come for each of them, either by the hands of the infected or by the hands of some man, women or even some cases a kid like Ellie, who’re merely just trying to survive.
It was an emotionally draining game, in the best way possible (just like Heavy Rain was with me, and the message that game displayed in its story beautifully) but the last of us was something on another level entirely. I could go on for days lol.
To me, The Last of Us is one of the finest games I’ve ever played, one of the best games I’ve ever played and is one of the few examples when it comes to games I mention to people who don’t play games or do but don’t know what’s really good (regarding storytelling) that I mention, because it really is a special gem and a shining example of a game studios hard work paying off as they achieve excellence that’s near perfection
Last of us story wise top notch no doubt, but gameplay lol it really didn’t do anything new or revolutionary.
It a damn shame Shinji Mikami don’t get this much love considering the franchise he birthed and games he influenced.
I just watched the whole Billy Mitchell Gamer of the Century debacle. So this title came in really poor taste.
But the article itself is inoffensive enough if a bit of exaggeration. Not saying that TLOU did not have an impact on the industry. Sony's own output after it basically become different versions of that "cinematic experience" for example. But Outlast probably didn't have that much time to absorb that influence given that it was released a couple of months later.
