The Story And Environments Of The Last Of Us

With the release of Uncharted 3 behind them, the next creation to leave the hallowed halls of Naughty Dog is an original game called The Last of Us. The team at the Santa Monica-based studio has spent the last two years creating an entirely new world. The game is a post-apocalyptic tale about survival, but the team at Naughty Dog hopes that the journey of the main characters and the green environments will help them stand apart from anything you've seen before. The game director Bruce Straley and creative director Neil Druckmann are putting a heavy emphasis on the story, and now is your chance to learn how that story begins. Watch the video below to hear about the early portions of the game and what kind of environments Joel and Ellie will be exploring as they strike out on their adventure. The creative team also addresses the idea of a potential sequel to this story.

  • This game looks so creative, makes me want a PS3 even more.
  • The Last of Us looks like an awesome post-apocalyptic shooter. If only this would come out on Xbox I would defiantly buy it.
  • Will it be on vita?

  • I know this is dorky but my name is Joel and my wife's name is Ellie. This game makes me smile.
  • I can't wait to play this...Naughty Dog's people are brilliant game designers.
  • iwould like to see more game play .
  • The story sounds interesting already. Wonder why Joel has to sneak Ellie out the quarantine zone, and who asked him to sneak her out... Guess I have to wait for a long time till it finally comes out.
  • I'm really excited for this game. Naughty Dog does a good job of creating characters that are actually human.
  • Alright, you've sold me. I like the austere emptiness we've been seeing.  Contrasts well against the zombie clogged streets of other apocalyptic scenarios.

  • Gets me excited. :] Anybody getting kind of excited for this game?
  • I cant wait to see some gameplay.

  • Sounding better and better. I actually looked at pics of those overgrown places, and they really nailed down the look.

  • It's times like this that I'm glad I sold my 360 for a PS3. Can't wait to buy this. Naughty Dog is one of the few game makers that I have no problem buying a new game from. They always put out quality.
  • The story sounds good and I'm sure it's all well thought out and the environments look like they will be just as great. Naughty Dog can just take my money now...
  • Good Informative Video. I'm glad to hear that they brought inspiration from "The world without us"

  • This game actually looks pretty good. I might end up buying a PS3 to play this. Not just for this but i just get tired of not being able to play PS3 exclusives.
  • naughty dog never fails
