The Last Of Us is only days away at the time of writing from celebrating its 10 year anniversary, as the original game launched on the PS3 all the way back in 2013, on June 14.
As part of the celebrations for the 10 year anniversary, Naughty Dog has announced a Photo Mode challenge, asking players to submit their best and most impressive photos taken from the game, each exemplifying their love for the series.

The move was made “in response to the lower profitability of the European region”
Honestly smart move, there's enough pvp, operator/hero based pvp GAAS games with this same generic style out and upcoming.
That is really sad. Not only cancelling Hyenas, but the other unannounced game and cutting funds yet again for Creative Assembly. This would be the first time in a decade that Sega let those guys do something other than the Total War series and the last time this happened, Creative Assembly delivered one of the best horror experiences out there in the form of ALIEN: ISOLATION.
I get that profitability is low. But maybe it's because Creative Assembly has been stuck putting out yearly releases of the Total War series. Those games are great, don't get me wrong but the market is extremely saturated with them and they are limited in public as they are only available on PC and PC players are know for making their favourite titles last a long time. To the point that people are still playing Total War Shogun 2 from 2011 at reasonable numbers...
So I feel this is a very bad move. It basically boxes the studio in a situation where they are unlikely to improve their profitability. Now not only they will go back to the same yearly franchise, but they will have to do that with a lower budget and likely team as well.
The problem with Total War is that they (CA) themselves saturate the series to death. Out of the last 5 Total War games I felt only Three Kingdoms was presenting new bold ideas. Troy, Britannia, Rome Remastered and Warhammer 3 all felt sloppy or lazy.
How can this game be celebrating 10 years when the last of us past 1 came out last year? Naughtdog is kinda whack
Photo Mode Challenge!
Uses painfully amateur random photo of Joel looking like a PS2 character to advertise photo mode challenge.
Yawn! Would've rather had a new game announced
ND: No new SP game after focusing on a live service GAAS game (that no one asked for) for the past three years…
Also ND: Photo Mode! 🥳
I just found that I got a special limited edition of tlou with a book with a tape. Sooo cool only 2500 made and mine it's number 1801
