Neil Druckmann shared some details on writing the script of The Last of Us and casting Joel's character with Troy Baker.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
"Treat your players as you would like to be treated, that's it," Vincke says when asked about how to maintain trust with a game's community.
We explore the Sega classics that are ripe for revival! From Panzer Dragoon Saga to Virtua Fighter, discover why these legendary games deserve a comeback on next-gen consoles. Dive into a nostalgic journey and see which Sega titles are set to captivate a new generation of gamers in 2024.
Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
That is a really interesting way to write one of the best stories in video game history.
I hope Troy and Joel are in The Last of Us 2, it wouldn't feel the same otherwise
This style of writing and adapting to Troy's take on Joel certainly worked for TLoU.
I don't doubt that writing a full story beforejand also works in some games too, though this type and the mixture in mechanics seems to have demanded the approach.
The writing and the pacing of the whole script was brilliant in TLOU. I don't think I've played a game yet that so gripped me from a story perspective. Bioshock Infinite came close, but apart from that, not many more.
TLOU is a masterpiece and im still playing its MP till this day. Nothing quite like it tbh
