Rumor: The Last of Us 2 in production, launching in 2015
- Thread starter The Last One
- Start date
It doesn't need 2 sequels
TLoU is new IP.
ND is not known to work on a single entry for 1 IP. They make more than one game from one IP. Jesus some of you guys like to live in lala land.
I think it comes as a testament to how perfectly the first one ended but yeah I'm shocked people don't want to go back to that world.

I think we find out what happens to
that heard of giraffes in....The Giraffes Of Us.
Once you make a sequel it ceases to be new IP. Everything was once a new IP.

I wonder if they could explore what happens when they do find a cure which is say in limited supply. Would lead to a political intrigue/ elitist with cures vs others vibe ... Def a motif zombie series dont address often and one which could lead to some interesting storylines imo.
Ho well, then I really hope they don't do that.

Praise the lord. They have my full support if they keep to their word about this. If they can make a game with similar gameplay, believable characters and the same quality of writting, I'm all for it. 2015 does seem a bit early though (1.5 years dev time could make sense though, if they already have their PS4 engine up and running).

We'll agree to disagree on that one!
In that case, see you next gen. Im gonna be smiling playing the shit out of U4 and TLoU2. Maybe near PS4's life, they will bring you a new IP like PS3.
Seriously though Im sure they are cooking something between these games. they have 2 teams, nasa/space teases etc.
Hey I never said fuck old IPs. I'm out here happy we're getting gears and uncharted.
That has never been how it has worked.

Ho absolutely, it's just a matter of opinion. I'd love to think that a developper is capable of just leaving their characters alone after they've told such a powerful story.
oh man i had no idea
I would have been okay if they left the world alone, it ended strongly enough for it. That was never going to happen for such a well received and, I assume, successful game however. I'm alright with this if it does happen, though I would also like the original on PS4. I would hate for it to be stuck on the PS3; it's kind of a technical mess.

It would be cool, but I hope they go with new characters. In some ways I would prefer a new game entirely, because I think ND have the formula of making cinematic games down and they can apply it to almost any decent narrative they can find. Personally, I would like them to do a future, blade runner esque detective game. It would be amazing.

I would love more TLOU but I don't want a sequal, either. It's a bit like watching Homeland series 1 then having it shit on when they announced (or I at least came across) series 2.

There will be a The Last of Us sequel, guys, whether you want it or not.
And it will be glorious.

I like the idea of a different game in this same universe focusing on different characters with a different story with the same level of care and attention to detail in the storytelling.
Have some kind of twist at the end that ties back into the first game and makes us want to play a final title to close out the trilogy.

I agree with the fact that it was a great stand alone game but honestly I would be ok with a sequel if it's done right. I think it's premature to discount the idea entirely because the story has a conclusion. Something in the same universe could be just as good if it's handled with care. Naughty Dog has a pretty good track record, if they feel like there is more to the story, then I trust they know what to do with it.
Was there a bad reaction to the DLC coming out? I've seen a lot of excitement around that but a lot of negativity around the idea of a sequel and I'm not sure what the difference is if the main story ended so perfectly.

Of course a sequel will come out, even if ND didn't want to do one Sony would still have someone else develop it. The game just made too much money for them to just end the franchise. Next year though? I say no way. I honestly believe ND will add a third team and have one working on UC one working on TLOU only a new story not related to Joel and Ellie and then a team working on a entirely new IP. I hope this isn't the case, but I could see it.

Considering that Naughty Dog specifically said they are done with Joel and Ellie's story, I don't see this happening.

Lol yeah right. There is no way this would come out in 2015. I refuse to believe that.

At this point ND can make Uncharted 7 and it'll still be consider a masterpiece. If they want to do TLOU2, they can go right ahead because that sequel would in good hands.

Just inject it straight into my veins. The Last of Us was my game of the generation (aside from Dark Souls), so I absolutely want them to work in the universe again, and make another "Last of Us" game, in that I want another game in the same style, mechanics, etc. I would be ok with a completely different cast and story. Perhaps even 100 years into the future, something like in the novel The Passage, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Passage_(novel)).
Imagine in the last of us 2, its 100 years in the future, people have rebuilt towns again, and are growing in numbers, but the threat of the clickers is still out there, and the bandits have turned into some sort of tribal society. That would be cool.

Depends. It could work

I would love a new IP. Pretty much want a new IP from every developer but Naughty Dog specifically. If they are making another TLOU I hope it's a different story with new characters in new locations.
How about "The Last Of Us?"
Question mark leaves it open for a sequel

I want to ask one question to those who don't want a sequel - why not?
That's fine they don't have any games slated for 2015 yet.

I don't need a continuation of Joel and Ellie's story but if they can nail it, I'd definitely take it.
What I'd really find a shame though would be Naughty Dog just completely abandoning the world and the mechanics they have built. Make it a sequel, a prequel, a parallel story, something set in a different part of the world, anything. As long as it's good, go for it.

Naughty Dog presents:
"There Were More Of Us Apparently."
The Last of Us looked really good, so I'm pretty excited to see what they can do with the PS4.
