Today is the 5th Anniversary of The Last of Us' release. Over 17 million of you have taken this journey with us and your love, support, and fandom for these characters and their story has been incredible.

Might impressive numbers. My game of all time and I can't wait for the sequel.

darthv722135d ago

And that's across two platforms. I really wished there was a vita version or a spin off of sorts. The sequel looks fantastic.

Genuine-User2135d ago

Yeah, it's across two platforms and bundles. And I agree, a VITA spinoff would have been great.

butchertroll2135d ago

TLOU sold over 7 mil. copies before PS4 launch :

UnSelf2135d ago

i cant believe I haven't bought this game

SuperSonic912135d ago

And EA and MS says Single player doesn't have the same impact anymore!
Congrats Naughty Doggers!

BQ322135d ago

he got downvoted because the Last of Us in not a just a single player game. It has one of the greatest MP of all time and it is the most important aspect of the game to probably half of the gamers who bought it.

ILostMyMind2135d ago

@BQ32
No, he got downvoted because he is darthv72.

Skull5212135d ago

Remastering the game on PS4 only 9 months after it's initial release certainly boosted that number a great deal, all the fanboys bought two copies of the game.

The Wood2134d ago

Salty skulls at it again. . .

Well done Naughty Dog. .There is still space for the genre you excel in. .

DarXyde2134d ago

Skull521,

I bought the game twice, and I guarantee you that I have amassed a collection of more diverse consoles and gaming devices than you ever have (I even have a SEGA Nomad and 32X).

It's not a fanboy thing. It's a great game thing.

ditto to the game of all time :)

KickSpinFilter2135d ago

Same but Sears Pong is a very close second.

Ashunderfire862135d ago

My favorite game of all time next to Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and Zelda Ocarina of Time! Last Of Us blew me away from beginning to end. Man I been watching that Last Of Us 2 trailer over and over again wow! I watched it about 9 times and man never seen any game come close to its action movie cinematic gameplay. When Ellie hid under the car she look prerendered in real gameplay! PS4/Pro games are started to come real close to this:

Yes remember that Killzone 2 trailer everyone thought was real?

Xb1ps42135d ago

Well damn.. that’s great! Is this counting both versions? Cause I was part of the group that bought it twice when the remaster came out

kneon2134d ago

I'm sure it's all versions, physical and digital on PS3 and PS4.

seanpitt232134d ago

Yes.. Last of us made me think this is the reason why I have been gaming all my life. It's the best game I have played and I am so glad naughty dog has kept the same tone and made it super violent because it's dog eat dog in that universe and it makes it feel so much more real. I just know the sequel will overtake the first. I just hope that you play Joel at some point and not just Ellie all way through.

doggo842135d ago

It's crazy, no one could have scripted this

Pancit_Canton2135d ago (Edited 2135d ago )

I don't know.

I was hoping for 17 million rations collected
Over 300 million clickers killed
17 million times David got axed by Ellie

but 17 million copies sold. Un ****ing believable...

Gazondaily2135d ago

ND are the masters, they could have 😁

CaptainOmega2135d ago

@Septic

funny.

NOW ND are the ‘masters’? You’re such a troll.

TheGoodestBoi2135d ago

Lmao @ doggo and pancit 😂

It’s too late Septic, you already showed your true colors so you can stop pretending now.

russo1212135d ago (Edited 2135d ago )

Sorry Septic but to me you behave as the biggest troll on N4G and around... Please try to be constructive and not a snake.

OT - for a new IP as TLOU (1st game) it sold a lot.

neutralgamer19922135d ago

What's funny is he thinks no one knows and he can trick others into thing he is no pun intended neutral

Gazondaily2134d ago

Lol diehard fanboys accusing me 9g being a troll. Okay

Alucard_4202134d ago

@Septic did you script this before you post it?

Gazondaily2134d ago

I did. I watched the TLOU 2 trailer for a masterclass in it

Alucard_4202134d ago

do you just make stuff up as you go??? I have never heard someone make stuff up, as much as you do. Let me know if you need help starting up a fundraiser to get you in school I would be more than happy to help you, you know maybe that way you can learn people skills and get real lessons besides the made up masterclass you apparently went to.

Blu3_Berry2135d ago

Damn, and that's just for the first game in the series across two platforms that's basically a new IP at the time. That is very impressive numbers.

SuperSaiyanGod412135d ago

Who wants to bet after that amazing e3 showcase TLOU remastered will be getting alot more sales? Naughty Dog deserves these sales for such an amazing game.

StormSnooper2135d ago

one of the greatest of ALL time. I’m waiting patiently for TLOU2

This game sold faster than my favorite ND series Uncharted!
WoW.
Funfact:
I got the PS4 remastered version by picking up a PS4 box in the garbage bin and finding a TLOU game code!
Isn't that wonderful?
I also bought the PS3 version digitally.
Tess is my favorite character in this game.

TFJWM2135d ago

Why are you digging thru the trash? Great find thou lol

SuperSonic912135d ago

@TFJWM
Our neighbor's garbage bin was full and the PS4 box was on the top.
And the TLOU Remaster code paper was inside.

The Wood2134d ago

That's some weird ass luck

Bathyj2135d ago

Ha. Learn a lesson everyone. If you're going to be a jerk at least be funny. That's my motto.

I want to give you a bubble now.

Rhythmattic2134d ago

Bathyj
Ahh... Def miss those bubbles.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast76d ago

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.

AlterRecs73d ago

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"

anast73d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs72d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast72d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer76d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6976d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs73d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6973d ago

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 Last Of Us Online Devs Celebrate Their Experience With The Canceled Game

The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.

Chocoburger121d ago

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.

seanpitt2376d ago

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

Linzoid120d ago

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…

anast120d ago

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?
