Naughty Dog: The Last of Us Will Aim to "Raise the Bar"

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

The Last of Us: Starring Hobo Drake as himself.

Bless them for making a new IP. Im getting pretty tired of sequels now <.<

 

[The Dutchess]

Ok I actually didn't know these guys made Uncharted and I already thought - "huh that guy looks like a grizzled older Nathan Drake."
Other than that, I'm interested. Think it'll be PS3 exclusive as well?

I am truly excited about this game. The enemies look interesting, and I assume you play as the guy, so it will give me someone to care about that I don't want to have sex with. Horray!

 

[Mortuorum]

We're going to keep pushing ourselves, and kill ourselves to make this story happen....

Tranlation: We're going to put our staff on permanent crunch time and then not be able to pay them when our overly-ambitious title tanks and the studio goes bankrupt. So, that's something new?

I am Legend 2 starring girl from Juno?

I was expecting to hear something like the player can do whatever kind of events and the NPCs specifically call them out for it word by word. The way you treat them also determinds how they react to you and might find them leaving you. Since it's a video game and it's supposed to be interactive and all.

So... what's this love narrative going to change now? I don't wish to be skeptical but...

 

[Beautiful End]

"...but I would say it's a love story,"

Whoo! A love story! I LOVE love stories! I'm all about love stories! Why do you think I love the Final Fantasy franchise so much?! I can honestly see those two characters working together. The rough manly man with the damsel in distress. I s--

"...It's not a romantic love story, it's a love story about a father-daughter-like relationship...It tells you something about the human condition."

Oh...well, don't I feel awkward now? *Sigh* :l

Anyway, seeing how Naughty Dog has done wonders with the Uncharted series, I can say they got what it takes to raise the bar. Seeing as how they're saying they want to improve the storytelling, I could assume the game will not revolve simply around escorting the girl back and forth (Enslaved). And since I am assuming that, I can also assume the game will not be dull, if and only if they can come up with a good, deep plot as they're claiming.
I'll be looking forward to this game.
