The Last of Us’ Joel Imitates Banderas To Celebrate Naughty Dog’s VGX Win as Studio of the Year

To celebrate Naughty Dog’s victory as studio of the year at the VGX 2013 a rather hilarious clip imitating Antonio Banderas from the film Assassins was showcased.

Lol yeah, I'm still laughing. Keighley had teased some response video and I kind of imagined something like this.

ShinMaster4165d ago

Best moment during VGX lol

Blastoise4165d ago (Edited 4165d ago )

My favourite part of the show.

Naughty Dog: Best developers of the planet Earth!

ZodTheRipper4165d ago

This and 'No Mans Sky' were my favourites :D

I lolled hard when I saw that - friggin epic!

Sad when the best thing of the VGA's was a GIF

Abriael4165d ago

No Man's Sky looks really amazing.

I_am_Batman4165d ago

The few game announcements were pretty good. But other than that this show was probably one of the worst I've seen in my life. 3 hours of stupid jokes, some stoned rappers, horrible live music. After watching this show I'm not surprised that gamers have a bad reputation.

isa_scout4165d ago

Yeah,No Mans Sky and The Witcher 3 looked amazing though. Damn why do I let Keighley troll me everytime though?
All in all it was a absolutely wretched show. McHale was a horrible pick as a co-host. You could actually tell that he made Geoff and devs like Tim a little uncomfortable.
Guess we'll just have to wait til E3 to see some more awesome game announcements and trailers.

starchild4164d ago

What? How? This was funny, but it was far from the best thing out of the show. Personally The Witcher 3 is far more exciting than anything else. Quantum Break also looked like a great game for the Xbox guys.

popup4164d ago

I thought Broken Age was awesome too.

nukeitall4164d ago

The best thing was Titanfalls and Quantum Break trailers for me. Cannot wait!

The akward hosts and setting of VGX though was off putting.

Gets studio of the year...
doesn't get game of the year.

Pff the VGA's are so flawed. Only reason GTAV won was because it's a multiplatform game. Name the last game that won game of the year that was exclusive to the Playstation brand.....exactly!

Name the platform with the most goty exclusive games...exactly!

Majin-vegeta4165d ago

UC2 back in 2009.This is twice ND has got robbed of GOTY.

2011-Bugrim
2013-Gta v

Ninjakiwi4165d ago (Edited 4165d ago )

Uncharted 3 won GOTY at VGA in 2011, so quite recently. but yeah it is still quite rare that a deserving PS game wins GOTY.

EDIT: somehow I mistook Gametrailers GOTY awards for VGA, they gave uncharted 3 GOTY not VGA

spicelicka4165d ago

Stop crying. Omgg i'm a sony fanboy omg sony game didn't win GOTY omg the world is against sony.

You could say the same thing about Microsoft and Nintendo, walking dead won over Halo 4 and Mario bros last year.

Last of us is an amazing game, but I found GTA 5 to be more ambitious and bigger and better in scope. I'm still glad ND won studio of the year.

But grow the hell up, you really thing having the most exclusive games automatically wins you GOTY awards wtf? You do know PC as a platform has way more exclusives than Sony right? Dozens of F2P, indie, and under-advertised games get released for PC every year......exactly!

frostypants4165d ago (Edited 4165d ago )

I am playing both TLoU and GTAV right now. TLoU is a work of art. GTAV is fun but it is more of the same and anyone who says otherwise is f*cking blind. This is like if The Departed lost an award to a Steven Seagal flick or something.

alexkoepp4165d ago

If anything rockstar got robbed, they made the GOTY, yet the studio isn't studio of the year?

frostypants4164d ago

@Tainted Gene, yeah, it was predictable. GTAV was supposed to be the greatest game ever, so everyone just accepted that it was, and ignored its obvious issues (mainly, that it is fundamentally the same freaking game as every GTA since GTA3). I refuse to believe that if there was a poll of those who actually played both GTAV and TLoU, than anything more than a tiny minority would claim that GTAV was a better game.

Was brilliant haha, one of the highlights of the VGXs a long with No Man Sky and The Witcher, also Broken age. Rest was kinda meh. Joel McHale didn't give a fvck either and Geoff was losing it inside his mind. So so so bad, it turned out to be good.

MonChiChi4165d ago

The show was very disappointing, think next time I wont even waste my time.

cyguration4165d ago

It was cringe-worthy in an entertaining way. I was just going to see how much more destructive McHale would get, bringing absolute mind phukdom to Keighley.

The Dorito Pope looked like he was about to keel over.

I was loving it.

pyramidshead4165d ago

was such a bad mix and you could tell McHale was seeing how far he could go, Geoff was close to breaking his safe face I swear. The tension was one of the best things about the show!

Majin-vegeta4165d ago

One of the best if not best thing to come out of this lame show.

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?

darthv7223d ago

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

Christopher23d 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.

Cacabunga23d ago

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

OtterX23d ago

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

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

Cacabunga23d ago

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

Notellin22d ago

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

LonDonE22d 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.

Inverno23d 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.

darthv7223d 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.

-Foxtrot23d 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”

Inverno23d 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.

Neonridr23d ago

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

They don't want Metroid Prime holding that record,

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

Not quite. Skyrim had:

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

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

darthv7223d 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.

Christopher23d 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.

Profchaos23d 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

Christopher23d 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.

Chevalier22d 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.

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

CrimsonWing6921d ago (Edited 21d 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_Bomb23d 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’.

VersusDMC23d 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_Bomb23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

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

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

isarai32d ago

@darthv72

Literally yes 🤨

Cacabunga32d ago

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

anast32d ago

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

Loktai32d 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?

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.

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

thorstein32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

@darth GTAV says hi.

Skyrim has an Alexa edition.

Chevalier32d 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

32d ago
Chevalier32d 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.

darthv7232d 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.

Chevalier31d ago (Edited 31d 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.
