The Last of Us is almost a game spawned from ideas of hardcore survival horror fans that takes into effect a slow pace, limited ammo, item looting and crafting, and discreetness. All of these things, while attempting to create an immense experience and engrossing story, help to create the most complete and compelling survival horror game in recent memory.

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.
I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.
Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"
They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.
That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.
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.
I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!
Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait
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 can barely stand the wait to play this game. Friend is finishing up her playthrough soon and I will be able to experience "unrivaled immersion" :D
there are plenty of games more immersive then the last of us,its really too "gamey" to truly be immersive
The world of 'The Last of Us' feels very natural and real in its execution. It's an incredibly convincing environment and yes, can immerse you. This is until the AI does something stupid or you see some glitch that just kills the mood. But before you hit that 'disagree' button, please understand that I'm not as naive to think that this is the only game with glitches or questionable AI, they practically ALL do. The problem is though, is The Last of Us does such a good job in selling us the idea of this post-apocalyptic world with brilliant writing, superb acting and a great narrative that whenever we notice something even slightly off or 'gamey', it sticks out more than it would in most other titles. It's biggest strength is also it's weakness.
As for other immersive games, I still hold the original Tomb Raider up there. Yes, I could count the amount of polygons on one hand and yes, it's very dated - but the lack of music, lack of any obtrusive HUD or menu's really absorb you into the level you're exploring. You feel so isolated and alone and often left with nothing but the sound of your footsteps and faint echoes in the distance. You feel vulnerable...and that's what I find immersive. The Last of Us for the most part did the same thing, except with very good visuals, storytelling and atmosphere - it was also a bit hard to expect the actual game side of things to hold up as well.
So go ahead, disagree with my post for saying something against what is arguably the best game I've played in the last 6-7 years.
The only thing that pulls me out of it is my ps3's fan it's so freaking loud
