The Last of Us: New Gameplay Details

Today new details on the game’s gameplay have been shared & it is sounding like The Last of Us will deliver an experience that is quite the departure from Uncharted.

[Valenka]

WHOA those details are SO exciting. /sarcasm Stupid Examiner, getting me excited for nothing.

[Abash]

Still pretty good details, Im dying to play this game

[lociefer]

not new per say, they actually were a given with the screenshots / artwork

[ABizzel1]

Not that it needs it, but to me there is a small chance of adding multiplayer to this game if they do something like Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City + Horde Mode.

They could have a large open map, and have no more than 8 or so players try to survive a wave of infected, as well as trying to survive against each other.

Since it's a new IP we know thwy're focusing completely on story and I personally appreciate that. But multiplayer is a seller in this generation, so a fresh and original take on the normal multiplayer will give people a reason to buy it if the single player alone isn't enough (which it should be).

[Dante112]

Yeah, these details are kinda old.

[Max Power]

What are the details so I can save a hit?

[DFogz]

@Max Power - Ammo is scare, probably not a lot of gunfights, and occasionally you'll have to help each other.

[Bioshocking]

Im wondering how the balance will work in this game.

Its not linear, but not open world.... So exactly how will it play?

We need MOAR DETAILS!

God everytime I see this game, I just want to know more!

Now... we wait for J-Blaze to make a troll comment

[Saladfax]

My guess is it'll be sort of a semi-linear sprawl. Think classic FPS where there was a particular destination, but you could explore around and find different things, such as the health pack you desperately need to tackle the next section =o

[PS3ROCKS]

-Not as linear as the Uncharted games but not open world, you can choose to go into places such as a coffee shop but its optional

-Ammo is in short supply, so don't expect shootouts like in uncharted.

-There will be situations where you have to help the other, but not in an obvious way.

[ShoryukenII]

Thank you as well. =]

[DigitalRaptor]

Those details confirm to me that this is going to be something special.

Not relying on constant action and more on storytelling and character development is something that gets me excited especially in an ocean full of games that focus on shooting.

[ShoryukenII]

Thank you DFogz.

[Virtual_Reality]

The Coop mode is going to be intense.

[chaldo]

I think they said there will be no co-op.

[soundslike]

pretty sure it was a troll...

[SnowBlu]

awesome screenshots

i hope the in game cutscenes look good as the cgi trailer

[Drekken]

That was the game engine, not cgi.

[SnowBlu]

my bad

[mll09]

*in game engine with touched up effects

That's how ND roll

[iWishTifaWasReal]

awww i was hoping it was Open World with RPG elements in it.
oh well/

[Bioshocking]

It would have been cool, but I'm still very curious about how the game will play.

[iWishTifaWasReal]

i hate when people disagree with me and they don't tell why.

@Bioshocking

okay, don't imagine the RPG mechanics like from Skyrim or JRPG game like Final Fantasy.

Imagine it like Dead Island. free roam equipable items.

[LarVanian]

I'm glad to hear that there will be a lack of ammo, I feel that that is one of the most important factors when making a survival horror game.

[LarVanian]

EDIT- Sorry double post

[ps3dude44]

it would be sweet if naughty dog made this like a silent hill/i am legend type of game.

[ExpectTheUnexpected]

I kind of gathered this from the trailer

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

Would be cool to see moments where you yourself aren't armed with anything worth a damn but people are shooting at you and you need to use surroudings to your advantage to take down your enemies, etc..

Also intense situations where you get split up and you must move fast to chase your enemies down to get your partner back. Example = Your partner gets taken (over the shoulder or something) of your enemy and they are fast on foot. It ends up in a on foot chase with you navagating your enviroment to utilize short cuts, etc.. to reach your partner quicker, etc..

They could do so many certain situations to really build the tension and with Naughty Dog at the helm, Im super excited to see how this ends up!

[mll09]

Depends how they implement. Occasions like your partner being slung over an enemies shoulder have always been annoying in the past (like in RE4). If they made it a rare cinematic event, then maybe

[Coke-a-Cola]

Wow info blow out .............

[ronin4life]

It sounds like resident evil....

[IM_KINECTED]

Kind of lame when you consider the title of the article. Not much information to be seen by going there.

Still, I'm looking forward to every piece of info I can get on this title.

[yogaflame]

To bad when this game is finally out, we already seen Ps4 or xbox 720, and we might lose our interest on this game or any current gen games that why i don't agree that companies show there next gen at once this year.

[goldwyncq]

Not linear but not open world? So it'll be kinda like Arkham City with sidemissions and all?

[nilamo]

I'm glad they aren't trying to make it an action game, would rather they explore the adventure part.

[undercovrr]

GUYS NEW SUPER EXCLUSIVE DETAILS OMFG WTF BBQ ABOUT LAST OF US!!!!!!! .............................. ............................... ....................there are windows in the game.

[fiShAMmer]

stop talking - start gaming!

[bozebo]

Changing style is a good idea. Good developers perfect a game then move onto something very different and perfect that too :D

[SephirothX21]

I think it will be as linear as the old Resident Evil games where you can explore optional areas and backtrack. I think this game has a lot of potential. The world, characters and story are key to this game's success but ultimately its gameplay will define it.

[Genecalypse]

Awesome! I was hoping it was different, and honestly do we really need an Uncharted with fungus zombies anyways? I'm glad theyre changing things up, survival horror games dont need to have all out guns blazing

[Objective]

So there's less shooting. Will there be more platforming or puzzles or hand to hand combat? Or cinematics?

[galmi]

Sounds alot like resident evil and silent hill

[mll09]

I just want to see gameplay!!

[CKsquid]

Lost interest when i found out it wasnt open world :/

[TBONEJF]

Sorry but YOUR DETAILS doesn't explain SQUAT. I'll wait till E3 for FULL press conference reveals. You don't even have anything too explain what the Last of Us is about. But I'm still going to buy it when it comes out!

[acemonkey]

can we see gameplay? lol
