“The Last of Us” a once in a generation game

ProspectusNews:
"“The Last of Us” is the latest game created by developers “Naughty Dog.” The game is a brand new survival-horror adventure from the people who made “Uncharted” and “Jak and Daxter,” and is darker than their past games.""

I remember Crash Bandicoot. I remember Jak and Daxter. I will remember The Last of Us. Can't wait to remember ND's next-gen games. It's definitely my favourite studio ever, and TLOU is now in my Top 5 games of all time (hint, even in the Top 3).

wishingW3L4364d ago

but can't remember Uncharted 2? GTFO!

ShugaCane4364d ago

I wanted to choose only one game per generation lol. But I won't ever forget the Uncharted series, that's for sure.

xPhearR3dx4362d ago

Uncharted 2 = MEH

Last of Us = GOLD

FlameHawk4362d ago

@ xPhearR3dx, you must be joking right? Both games are Gold.

xPhearR3dx4362d ago

@FlameHawk

No. I couldn't wait to finish Uncharted 2 just so it would be over. It was very bland and blah. The Last of Us on the other hand, incredible. Already on my third playthrough and still not even close to being done with this game.

Ezz20134362d ago

@xphearr3dx

even though i disagree
nothing wrong with having opinions

i just want to say it's awesome how ppl who hate Uncharted games are in love with TLOU

really show how much different uncharted games from TLOU

fourOeightshark4362d ago

@xPhearR3dx
The Last of Us is great but it didn't wow me anywhere near as much as Uncharted 2 did back when it first came out. That's how good UC2 was to me.

Ezz20134362d ago

thanks to activision we will never see Crash again from ND

unless sony by the IP once more

No_Limit4362d ago (Edited 4362d ago )

Great game. Deeply enjoyed it on my PS3. Up there with Uncharted 2, Demon's Soul and Vakyria Chronicles as one of my favorite exclusives on the console.

RIP_Cell4362d ago

good game but too over-rated right now. it's not close to my favorite games this generation.

chestnut11224362d ago

Name me a game better than "The Last of US" would You?

admiralvic4362d ago

To be fair, no matter how many people agree that TLoU is perfect, it will never be a fact. RIP_Cell could literally list any game as better than TLoU and be right, since it would be his or her opinion.

With that being said, TLoU is way over-rated at the moment. The more high review scores, "once in a generation" comments and praise for whatever else it does right, will only force the game to live up to ever higher expectations.

Frodosmugins4362d ago

I dunno about better but Dark/Demon Souls took me longer to complete and I had more fun doing it!
Even though 1 is a scripted game and other is sandbox"ish"

Hicken4362d ago

Opinions aren't right just because they're opinions. Actually, because they're not fact, they can and are frequently wrong. Yes, it's his opinion, but as it's not a fact, it can definitely be wrong, just as anything else that isn't a fact can be wrong.

Now, with that out of the way, a game is only overrated if it DOESN'T live up to expectations. All the high praise and 10s indicate that the game lives up to or exceeds those expectations, so how can it be overrated?

Granted, just as there are many who will think the game is superb, there will always be those who don't think as highly of it. I don't want to say that it's unimportant, but if that opinion is in the extreme minority, then the general consensus says the game is NOT overrated.

RIP_Cell4362d ago (Edited 4362d ago )

Dark Souls/Demon's Souls, Arkham City, Portal 2, Fallout 3, Witcher 2, Bioshock 1/Infinite, Mass Effect 1/2,

like I said I think TLOU is a good game, just not on top of my list.

I don't care what the "general consensus" is, it's over-rated to me. I also don't care what the general consensus of Justin Bieber is or how many awards he wins, he's not my favorite musician.

MikeyDucati14362d ago

Said the same thing about Heavy Rain ya know...just saying. lol game whores

nix4362d ago

isn't that a good thing? just when you think certain one game is the greatest the next one comes out to just blow it away.

these kind of events are good for gamers because we keep getting great games.

MikeyDucati14362d ago

I am merely making light of the fact that several games has achieved what TLOU has this generation but now its as if TLOU is the only of its kind.

Old man pumping fist theory I guess...

Hicken4361d ago

Several games have not achieved what TLOU has.

Several games were, at the time, the greatest of the generation. But as the generation went on, they were surpassed by greater games.

Ever heard of "for its time?" Yeah, this is that sort of thing.

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?

darthv7266d ago

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

Christopher66d 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.

Cacabunga66d ago

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

OtterX66d ago

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

cloganart65d ago

@Christopher

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

Cacabunga65d ago

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

Notellin65d ago

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

LonDonE65d 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

Inverno65d 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.

darthv7265d 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.

-Foxtrot65d 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”

Inverno65d 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.

Neonridr66d ago

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

Knushwood Butt65d ago

They don't want Metroid Prime holding that record,

NotoriousWhiz65d ago

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

FPS_D3TH66d ago

We are approaching Skyrim levels here

Profchaos66d 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

Christopher66d ago

Not quite. Skyrim had:

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

VersusDMC65d ago (Edited 65d 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/...

darthv7265d 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.

Christopher65d 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.

Profchaos65d 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

Christopher65d 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.

Chevalier65d 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_D3TH65d ago

No. Those are remakes. Not remasters

Neonridr65d ago

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

CrimsonWing6964d ago (Edited 64d 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_Bomb66d 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’.

VersusDMC66d 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_Bomb66d ago (Edited 66d ago )

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

Knushwood Butt65d 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

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

They're really milking this franchise lol

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

darthv7275d ago

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

75d ago
isarai75d ago

@darthv72

Literally yes 🤨

Cacabunga75d ago

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

anast75d ago

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

Loktai75d 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_Suzumiya75d ago

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

darthv7275d ago

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

thorstein74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

@darth GTAV says hi.

Skyrim has an Alexa edition.

Chevalier75d 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

75d ago
Chevalier75d 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.

darthv7274d 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.

Chevalier74d ago (Edited 74d 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.
