Sony Delays The Last Of Us

Originally scheduled for release on May 7, Naughty Dog's upcoming The Last of Us has been pushed back to a June 14 worldwide release. The developer says that they needed a few more weeks to ensure that the promising title meets expectations.

In the statement issued to Gamespot, a Naughty Dog rep said :As we entered the final phase of development for The Last of Us, we came to realize just how massive Joel and Ellie’s journey is. But instead of cutting corners or compromising our vision, we came to the tough decision that the game deserved a few extra weeks to ensure every detail of The Last of Us was up to Naughty Dog’s internal high standards."

An unfortunate delay, but at least it's a short one.

Eh, not to concerned, will give me time to build my bank account back up.

This is one of the games I'm definitely going to get once I get a PS3-glad they're giving it some extra polish.

I really wanna play this soon. Looks like the Walking Dead.

Oh well, more time to polish usually means the game will be great. Even though I don't own a PS3, I really want this game. At least Bioshock: Infinite will be coming out soon.
by Arkhamfan Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 02:00 PM

I actually saw this coming for some odd reason.
by KvothetheBloodless Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 02:00 PM

I haven't been this excited for a game in a long time. Take all the time you need, Naughty Dog.
by jmpittman860220 Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 02:00 PM

This doesn't bother me. I'm still patiently waiting for Bioshock Infinite.

I'm glad... that last video I saw with the infected walking around concerned me, because I dont think it gave justice to the awesomeness of this game. I dont know why but just the detail and textures on the faces of the infected looked like a blurry, blobby, mess. I even paused the video at the end when it tries to bite Joel... kinda made me hope that they would do something to fix that by the time it releases and I hope this is the reason why there is a delay.
by J Warrior Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 02:03 PM

That's not a bad delay at all. Plus, the AI didn't look too good in the last video.
by Craigaleg Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 02:03 PM

This is a good thing! That March-May window is already packed full of games, nice to have a breather AND get a better quality product.
by new traditionalist Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 02:04 PM

good. i like when a developer goes back after looking at the finished product and says "well... the buildings and floor in that area could use a tad bit more polish." i'm guessing naughty dog is trying to make this the end-all ps3 title.

Give it all the time it needs. ^_^

A month is long!
by scared 7 Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 02:05 PM

May 7, was my birthday :( now i must wait for my present.
But now we know we get this game good running.

This would be a good game.
by Argetlam350 Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 02:07 PM

I can wait. Better to wait then have the game develope cut corners and come out with a poorer game then what it could of been without cutting corners.
by reidloS doG Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 02:08 PM

That's weird. This is a big exclusive. I'm surprised Sony allowed it to be delayed.
by cwdd47 Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 02:09 PM

"they should notice the flashlight!!! The AI is HORRIBLE!!!!" Getting pretty tired of hearing this. Don't people realize those infected that can't see the flashlight are blind?
by BloodyMurder Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 02:12 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

It's cool, I have my Survivor's Edition paid off.
