If you've been following our coverage for The Last of Us, you know about the story and inspirations for Naughty Dog's new IP but you are probably still curious about how the game plays. The team in Santa Monica is attempting to bring a raw sense of humanity to every aspect of the game and they are striving to make every enemy encounter leave a lasting impression. The game director Bruce Straley and creative director Neil Druckmann want to push enemy AI beyond the standard mindless henchman and to evolve the companion AI of Ellie away from a vapid escortee. Watch the video below to learn what choices you'll have and how Ellie can assist you in combat scenarios for The Last of Us.

I get the feeling this is going to be the game version of Inception. Meaning that this is obviously contains a lot of ambition and imagination, something missing in a lot of games today *cough* Call of Duty *cough*. This game, while it may not be perfect and could very possibly fall short, will no doubt leave its mark on the industry.

Literally every single aspect of this game sounds amazing. I'm really impressed with everything both out of the studio and the stuff you guys are putting up. Love it all.

Personally they should make this potentially a 100% multiplayer game where another person can control Ellie and be able to do specific things that only she can do. I hope they consider that idea because it would be amazing to experience that game with two people and working together. Screw AI.

The gameplay mechanics sound wonderful. It'll be very interesting to see how everything comes together. I am most interested in the A.I and how they will act and react.

I don't know if its me or not; but this game looks like a combination of Uncharted and Fallout together into one. I hope it turns out to be real good and exciting to play.

Hmm... Very good.. I've been waiting a while for a game with realistic AI to come out with realistic combat and ammo and such. This game could be a hit, or an epic failure. I am confident that Naughty Dog can pull this off. I just hope they don't ruin it with online. Maybe split screen campaign if they can pull it off correctly. I am not going to buy it until i have played it at a friends house or something, though. This will be interesting....
