Exclusive First In-Game Screenshots Of The Last Of Us

As promised earlier today in our cover announcement story, we present three screenshots from The Last of Us.

The images below are only a taste of the over 20 great shots that appear in the March issue. Be sure to click on the screens to get a better look.


Combat includes both gunplay and melee attacks. Weapons will break after repeated use, so you'll have to scavenge around for new items frequently.


Most post-apocalyptic worlds are bleak and gray. Naughty Dog utilizes natural growth to spice up the color palette and add a sense of the abnormal. Notice the yellow bridge in the background? Yep, this is Pittsburgh.


The developers stress that The Last of Us is not one long escort mission. Although you won't control Ellie in the game, her AI is one of the team's primary areas of focus. In our demo she always managed to keep up, yet stay out of the way. She didn't seem to need any babysitting at all.

Be sure to check back and visit the hub all month long for more on The Last of Us.

  • I've been holding off on buying a PS3, but so far, this game is making it really difficult to not think about buying a PS3 when I should be thinking about college funds instead...

  • i hope its almost kind of open worldy so u can explore pittsburg and almost do some like raids

  • It's Naughty Dog, anything they touch is golden! I'll definitely be picking this up!

  • I dislike being exited by a game I have only seen pictures of, but I can't wait.

  • Want.

  • Want.

  • Definitely PS3 the best exclusive game on any console. This is a day one buy

  • man can naughty dog ever pull off amazing lighting

  • This might be just me, but for some reason, I find this a crossover of Uncharted and Resistance 3...

    I mean, it's an unknown plague apparently to the Protagonists, survivors are doing the extreme just trying to survive (Much like Resistance3), maybe adding a few jumping moments like Resistance has, and the graphical quality of Uncharted with its storytelling. That's just me, but I don't know.

    What I DO KNOW is that I'm buying this DAY ONE :D

  • This game may be a console purchase for me.

  • Holy sh** these pictures look amazing I just *** a rainbow. :O

  • Naughty Dog is hands down the most talented developers this generation together with 2K (Bioshock games) and Rockstar. The least talented would have to be the makers of the last 2 Modern Warfare games (Treyarch still rocks!).
  • You see why I love ND? This is why the company should have won developer of the year. They utilize the FULL potential of the PS3's processor and takes advantage of their environment render and animators' skills. Game artistry at it's finest. Can't wait to see more.
  • This game looks so good!!!!! It has beautiful graphics!!!!

  • Yay! i was hoping this would be a cover! But unfortunately i would be more excited if it was also for Xbox 360 :(
  • If you look at the third picture for a sec.....you can almost imagine an older Nathan Drake ...with the same color shirt and gun holster and all
  • Looks awesome. I can't wait!

  • I hope they would add I AM ALIVE's gameplay mechanics into the mix

  • Nice. I hope the finished product has better graphics though, because I'm detecting problems with some screenshots.
  • honestly cannot wait.  Naughty Dog has always impressed so far so it's exciting to see what they come up with next
