The Last of Us Dev Diary Gets You Closer to The Infected

14
Richard Walker

Inspired by hideous fungal infections in insects, Naughty Dog has imagined what would happen if the infections were to jump species to humans in The Last of Us. The result is some of the abominations you'll face as Joel and Ellie journey across a post-apocalyptic USA.

With cities reclaimed by nature, you'll see a lot of eerily deserted streets and buildings, while various classes of infected stalk the dark corners. Meanwhile, you'll also have brutal human survivors to contend with, as if the infected weren't troublesome enough.

The Last of Us Creative Director Neil Druckmann and Game Director Bruce Straley lend some insight into the sights and sounds you'll encounter along the way, with some new gameplay footage to whet your appetite for the launch of The Last of Us on June 14th. Check out the vid below.

  • really want to buy this day one but I think waiting for the ps4 version would be more practical
  • @1 yeah i know what you mean, i know the ps4 is on it's way and puts me off buying new ps3 games now i don't want 2 end up with a long list of games to finish when the ps4 comes out. Because you know when you buy a game now there will be a years worth of dlc's that come with them.
  • It's not even coming out for the PS4, is it? At least, as far as we know?
  • They never announced a PS4 version. This game was in development for the last 3-4 year's, since uncharted 2. If they haven't said there will be, I really doubt it besides a port later on.regardless, I can't see this being anything but game of the year for me. This can't come out soon enough!
  • I think upcoming games this year that aren't announced for the next gen platform are planned to be in development for next gen consoles and released next year.
  • Day 1 for sure!!! I would even go to a midnight release if there was one. About what #1&2 said, I feel that way about Beyond. However, if Beyond comes out and the PS4 isn't out I'll have to still Day 1 buy for sure. I just want them to confirm it if its even coming to PS4.
  • I'm getting this for PS3. Seriously, by the time I get a PS4, I'll have beaten all my PS3 games anyway. I'm not getting a PS4 at launch, but it's practically inevitable.
  • Day 1 buy for me, hopefully a midnight release at my gamestop. Im even gonna get that day off of work just so i can play it all day.
  • Will it have online pass like uncharted 3?
  • I'll probably be getting this for the PS3 anyway but yes "The Last of Us" is being consider for the PS4.
  • While a PS4 version sounds nice, I'd bet that a PS4 release of the game (in Europe) is at least another year away and I'm sure as hell not gonna wait that long.
  • @9 Most likely. All the other first party Sony titles have of late.
  • already pre-order the Ellie edition,on what you guys said i dont think it will be out for PS4 on launch day maybe they'll brink it later.has anyone consider that PS4 been out this year or the next most likely in Europe's case has hurt sales for some games?either people saving money to get a PS4 or because they wont play the PS3 after they get 4?what you guys think?
  • For the first time ever I pre-ordered a game. Stopped reading about this game now, ready to dive in headfirst as soon as I have it in my hands/PS3 machine.
