Who Would Star In A Last Of Us Sequel? Creators Won't Rule Anyone Out

Kotaku - The Last of Us may have ended; the credits may have rolled. But this is a video game! Of course it's not over.

wastedcells4379d ago (Edited 4379d ago )

I can see them using Ellie in a sequel. An older Ellie but Joel is done. Doubt we will see him again. I have mixed feeling about a sequel tho. It was such an amazing game.

Mr_Nuts4379d ago

Why not Joel, the lie he told Ellie at the end of the game will come into play in the sequel

ND havent created a game like this with amazing character development only to throw Joel away.

I still think Joel will be back, we'll have more time in Ellie's shoes but Joel will still be there.

I don't know how they will do it but I really want them to come through with that concept art with parts of the UK in ruins. How they get to the UK or why they go there I don't know but I would love if they did it. From London, to Manchester, to Liverpool, Blackpool, Newcastle Upon Tyne then finally to Glasgow.

ArchangelMike4378d ago (Edited 4378d ago )

^^@Mr Nuts. Dude, don't post spoliers. Not cool man.

GentlemenRUs4378d ago

@ArchangelMike

Game's been out long enough, Play it or face non-spoilers ;)

die_fiend4378d ago

@Archangel

You're reading an article about a TLOU sequel. If you came in thinking there'd be no mention of the ending then you should probably give up on the whole internet thing

Mr_Nuts4378d ago

@ArchangelMike

Yeah exactly what die_fiend says

It's an article about a SEQUEL to a game you havent played, why the f*** would you come onto this article in the first place.

Seriously I don't see the point of adding a spoiler tag to articles like this.

I agree. TLOU was fantastic and it should end like this imo. Making a sequel would just give the impression that they are milking the franchise.

I think by now ND has proven that they are genius game designers and they should receive some kind of nobel prize or something. I trust them enough to come up with an even more amazing new IP

TheFirstClassic4378d ago

I don't see how making one or two sequels could be considered milking. I want their story to continue, Joel and Ellie are just too good of characters to let it end here, and their future was uncertain. I would like them to be involved in a whole trilogy.

Roper3164378d ago

just based on the ending I believe both will be in it at least to start, then theywill go there separate ways ( you will play parallel story lines during this time )and then get back together at the end. just my opinion.

MINOR SPOILERS BELOW BEWARE!!!!!!!!!

just some thoughts I had on DLC for this amazing game

I would love for 1 of the DLC's to be about Ellie leading upto her getting infected and ending when she initially hooks up with Joel & Tess.

And for another I would like to see the first person who was infected and have it lead upto when Joel initially left his house with Sara & Tommy.

first1NFANTRY4378d ago

Although the last of us ended in a great way I still think there's a world of possibilities for a sequel. I mean ND could further explore the stories of the characters Joel and Ellie came in contact with.

For a new IP they've done extremely well and it would be foolish not to do a sequel sometime down the line for the ps4. Frankly I would love to see Jimmy's journey or the African American brothers.

Benjammin254378d ago

I think the game ended perfectly. It wasn't over the top or cliché, it was done right. If a sequel follows the same characters, I can't help but feel it'll ruin that great ending to a degree. I personally hope for new characters, but I won't lose sleep over it either way.

stage884378d ago

Joel and Ellie's story is done. Adding a sequel would feel tacked on.

New characters is where it should go.

WitWolfy4378d ago

I'd like to see David in the sequel... Not just because it Nolan North, but to see why he is the way he is...

As expected. Unless it's going to Xbox or Switch 2, we can stop hearing about these older games now? We can move on to just news about new games?

darthv7273d ago

....until the PS6 remake followed by the PS7 reboot

Christopher73d ago

Man, first year of PS6 is going to be 90% remasters. I'm going to hate it and likely hold off until new games actually get released that I can't play on my PS5.

Cacabunga73d ago

Yes I’m waiting for complete remaster…. On ps5

OtterX73d ago

...20 years later, "you haven't heard the last of us yet!" *releases The Last of Us Retro Collection*

cloganart73d ago

@Christopher

Oof, yeah. I don't think I'm picking up the PS6 until "Pro" comes out 😂

Cacabunga73d ago

I haven’t played Tlou1 since PS3 and i have the greatest memory of it

Notellin72d ago

I'm already dreading all the cross generation games and remasters we'll see with the next round of consoles.

LonDonE72d ago

lmao this is getting ridiculous but thing is if people keep buying them.. then why would they stop making them?
Peeps STOP BUYING this game.. that actually hurts me to say this as the last of us is high up on my greatest games of all times.. its one of the few games i played through start to finish 3/4 times back to back as i loved it so much. But sony need to stop, give us a Resistance 3 remaster, i would love and buy that.. such an underated series as was killzone.
Or give us infamous.. so many great series and titles i would gladly buy but they just want to keep giving us last of us.

I am done buying that game.. i would only buy part 2 remaster if they remade it and kept joel alive, or i am not interested. Hate last of us 2s story killing off joel.. the actual game is stunning and incredible, they improved so much in the gameplay department but i hate the story with a passion.

We can stop hearing about it when they stop re-releasing them I guess.

I reckon the ps6 version will be 8k 240 and I'll still not care.

I miss new games from nd

Inverno73d ago

And HBO just announced season 3 even tho LoU2 couldn't possibly be so long that it wouldn't be able to fit in 1 season. They're just milking it at this point.

darthv7273d ago

speaking of the HBO series... I felt they should have made part 1 across two seasons, then address part 2 in seasons 3 and 4. so now i have a feeling they rushed through part 1 in season 1 to make season 2 a cliff hanger with Joel's impending demise being the starting point to Season 3.

-Foxtrot73d ago

I love how they decided to rush, chop and change things for Season 1 to get through the game yet for TLOU Part II it’s like “we’re going to do multiple seasons and take our time”

Inverno73d ago

Okay after seeing that there's only 7 episodes I take it back. Though I think it's incredibly stupid not to have just made the season longer. Another season just to finish what could've just been a 13 episode season seems counterintuitive but aiight. I put that on HBO tho.

Neonridr73d ago

This will be the 4th time Sony sells us The Last of Us Part 1.. And the 2nd time on the PS5.

Knushwood Butt73d ago

They don't want Metroid Prime holding that record,

NotoriousWhiz72d ago

Strange, I thought the record went to Street Fighter 2.

FPS_D3TH73d ago

We are approaching Skyrim levels here

Profchaos73d ago

At this point we are at Skyrim in terms of frequency. Skyrim was one per generation. If you exclude VR Skyrim we've now exceeded it

Tlou 1 PS3, 1 PS4 2 ps5
Skyrim 1 ps360 2 PS4/x1/vr 1 ps5/sx

Tlou 4
Skyrim 4

Christopher73d ago

Not quite. Skyrim had:

PS3/360/PC
PS4/X1
VR
Switch
Skyrim Special Edition PC/PS4/X1
Skyrim Special Edition PS5/XSX

VersusDMC73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

Also add skyrim bundles like the one below and all the humble bundles since that's what everyone is doing here

https://www.xbox.com/en-CA/...

darthv7273d ago

@Chris, LoU is getting just as bad by milking the same user base. At least Skyrim was able to sell to a wider audience via different platforms.

Christopher73d ago

@darthv72: I don't know why you're telling me that. I only corrected on number of Skyrim re-releases/ports/etc. I didn't say anything else.

Profchaos73d ago

@christopher guess I forgot just how much was out I think the special editions are technically one release despite being cross platform though would the Alexa version count

Christopher73d ago

@Profchaos: I guess, but I'd consider it a separate release since it rolled them into one at a later date but definitely there is a PS5/XSX version with PS5/XSX supported updates specific to them.

Chevalier72d ago

"LoU is getting just as bad by milking the same user base"

Weird. Like 35% of PS5 owners are NEW to Playstation. Plus this is really for new fans from the TV series for season 2 of TLOU.

I recall the same idiotic comments when the 1st one was remade just before TLOU TV Series came out and it went on the be one of the best selling games that year.

So maybe get your FACTS straight. Unlike Skyrim getting literally releases in 3 generations and 10 releases.

I gotta figure RE4 is up there too

FPS_D3TH72d ago

No. Those are remakes. Not remasters

Neonridr72d ago

@FPS - we've had quite a few RE4 remasters, only 1 remake.

CrimsonWing6971d ago (Edited 71d ago )

@FPS_D3TH

It blows my mind how people do some mental gymnastics to try to cope with a game they like doing the same thing (technically more) they’re complaining about for another game.

RE4 - PS2, GC
RE4 w Motion Controls - Wii
Literally RE4 HD Remaster - Xbox 360, PS3
I’m assuming a port of RE HD - PS4, Xbox One
RE4 Remake - PS5, Xsex

1 Remake and the bunch are Remasters… how, I mean how—Y’know what, it doesn’t matter anymore…

P_Bomb73d ago

Store says I already own it. I guess it’s just a straight twin-pack. Looks like they added 4 maps to ‘No Return’.

VersusDMC73d ago

You don't need to buy this to get the maps, marlene and bill. It all got patched in to the game on the 3rd.

P_Bomb73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

Good to know. I’ve watched runs of ‘No Return’ but have yet to try it myself. Soon, soon 😉

Knushwood Butt73d ago

Yeah, No Return got a content update.
Three new trophies too.

A mysterious physical edition of a Naughty Dog game is in the works

billibil-kun: "As The Last of Us season 2 prepares to air on HBO, we've spotted a mysterious reference to a special edition of a physical PS5 game from the franchise. Here's our take on the game, which remains unclear for now."

That's totally what it is I believe. It would be a great bundle for new players getting into the ecosystem

Goodguy0183d ago

They're really milking this franchise lol

anast83d ago

You must comment on every Mario, Zelda, and Skyrim article too.

darthv7283d ago

....because there has been the same mario, Zelda and Skyrim games for three console generations?

83d ago
isarai82d ago

@darthv72

Literally yes 🤨

Cacabunga82d ago

Every Mario and Zelda is different. This is just the exact same game over and over

anast82d ago

Skyrim, yes. Mario and Zelda since the 80's

Loktai82d ago

@darthv72 Uh yes. Yes it has. They milked BOTW across Wii U and switch and they STILL want 40+ for it new and never discounted it. They made "remasters" of older zelda games as well on switch and in the past onto the other gameboy platforms from the older platforms. They have done the same with Mario. They port the paper mario games and mario RPG to switch. And now I PROMISE you they are going to show "enhancements" for those same games on Switch 2. I PROMISE you thats going to get mentioned, maybe even tomorrow. Last of us Part 1 has been across techncially 3 generations, but 2 has been 2- and JUST BARELY 2 because it released just a few months before the PS5 did - and so if that counts as milking it, what do you call breath of the wild on Wii U then going to switch or Twilight Princess coming uot on gamecube and Wii - OR ZELDA WIND WAKER HD coming out?

"Skyrim games for three console generations?"

Darth showing some idiocy here. Seriously yes Skyrim has been re-released more than any other game period. It's been released on 3 generations - PS3, PS4, PS5, PSVR, PC, PC VR, Switch, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S. That's 10 releases across 3 generations! So Seriously get your DAMN facts straight.

Yui_Suzumiya82d ago

And yet Fallout 3 has never been Remastered. Prison time should be given for that offense, lol

darthv7282d ago

Skyrim sure, but the other two... not so much

thorstein82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

@darth GTAV says hi.

Skyrim has an Alexa edition.

Chevalier82d ago

Clearly a guy with business acumen! Why would Sony want to rebundle games and release them in time for the 2nd season of TLOU to release? I mean the last time a bunch of idiots laughed at Sony then guess what? TLOU part 1 for PS5 only hit top 5 sales and kept popping onto charts throughout the year?! Lol

82d ago
Chevalier82d ago

"Skyrim sure, but the other two... not so much"

Multiple Mario and Zelda games have made 2 generations. Maybe you guys forget that over a 3rd of the gamers on Playstation have NEVER owned a Playstation system before and some are coming into it as a result of the TV show.

People said the EXACT same crap when the 1st game got released on PS5, but, it ended up being one of the best selling games the year it came out.

Also for all the idiots complaining. Playstation at least offer $10 upgrades for some of these games. Have you EVER seen a re-release by Nintendo, Xbox, Bethesda offer that?! No I didn't think so.

darthv7282d ago

releasing a newer version because the previous version is not physically compatible is not quite the same as taking a perfectly good existing game that already works on the newer platform and repackaging it under a remaster brand for that newer platform and then repackaging it AGAIN for the same platform.

And that whole line of *insert people here may not have had a PS before* is a line of BS. PS2 is the most selling platform in history... chances are very good a high percentage upgrade to the PS3 and then upgraded to the PS4 and are upgrading again for the PS5. So dont give me that line of bologna. you'd rather swallow every bit of Sony propaganda instead of call them out for milking (and yes this is milking) this game. You know there will be a PS6 version and likely a PS7 remaster.

Of course i am purely speculating on the 6 & 7 but there is a high degree of probability because of what they did already between 3, 4 & 5. And you defending even the $10 upgrade when most of the XB games get free upgrades is just another sign of your blind loyalty. I didnt think it possible and gave you benefit of the doubt but now I can see i was totally wrong.

Chevalier81d ago (Edited 81d ago )

@Darth

Again your examples are absolutely terrible. Repackaged games for new audiences isn't new with the high cost of development. This release is timed for people that are new to Playstation coming from watching season 2 of the TV show. If you're surprised and annoyed by this then stop gaming then. It will happen if there's some new Skyrim, Fallout, Doom or whatever TV show comes out too.

Also you're the guy who defends Xbox for this crap too. Skyrim releases were done while owned by Xbox.

Also you mentioned the PS2, repackaged games happened all the time then too. If you think that repackaged games is going to go away with the skyrocketing cost of development is going away then sorry cover your eyes and plug your ears and pretend like an idiot then. You will be complaining daily soon.
