I guess with more than 7 million sales , it would have been pretty stupid from Sony not to push for a sequel.
I personally think that the game was self-sufficient but who am I to judge better than Straley and Druckmann if the story can carry on or not ?
Ok. Need some advice here guys.
I really want a cheap game for my PS4, The last of US keeps coming up as a game that I should get but here is my problem:-
I don't particularly like cinematic games, I find an abundance of cutscenes annoying and I'm really not a fan of slow, plodding games (Need balls to wall action in my games)
Despite this, time and time again my friends have implored me to give TLOU a go. They all say it is the one game that I will love the change of pace even though its not my "type" of game.
Honestly guys, would I be making a mistake in buying it? Remember, im only really buying it because its cheap and I want something "meaty" for my PS4 in terms of a single player experience.
I want it but I don't, I'm hella confused right now
If we follow this type of thinking, we can compare it to an existing property.I hope you play as Ellie. Just turn it into a trilogy that tells her life story, or something. If there's going to be a 2, there's almost certainly going to be 3 as well. What are they going to do, make new characters for every game? Somehow I don't see that happening.
I don't think we'll see either of them. Didn't Neil say Joel & Ellie are done at the stage show?
PRetty sure he said "their" story was done, as in the two of them together.
Saying that, the idea that they have to focus on Ellie just because she is immune is a bit short sighted. If she is, then it's almost certain others are too.
Saying /that/, I think seeing an older Ellie would be amazing. I really don't know why people are so averse to continuing the story, maybe they're just worried they won't do it justice?

The Last of Us - Batman Begins
The Last of Us 2 - The Dark Knight
The Last of Us 3 - The Dark Knight Rises
This means the sequel is going to be the peak and genre defining.
I...I haven't seen the original Star Wars trilogy yet.So more like The Empire Strikes Back. A mature Princess Leia, blossoming as the leader of the resistance and coming to terms with her choices. She looks to old friends to overcome adversity, but at what price?
Bruce, you owe me a beer.

The Last of Us - Batman Begins
The Last of Us 2 - The Dark Knight
The Last of Us 3 - The Dark Knight Rises
This means the sequel is going to be the peak and genre defining. It'll take the world by storm. But this also means that the final game in the trilogy, whilst received really well in general, would result in a lot of people who are vocal in how much they think it's terrible. I imagine these people will hate the plot of Ellie being a walking ticking infected bomb and she ends up jumping into the ocean to save the world. For some people, the original will remain as their favourite.
They did a new IP, it came out last year. It's extremely unreasonable to expect them to pump out new IP after new IP back to back.Honestly I have to imagine ND almost certainly enjoys making Uncharted games. I can't imagine Sony had to twist any arms to make UC4.
As for TLOU, I'm sure it's up to ND. I however would like them to do a new IP.

I am not sure if this is "official" concept art for a sequel, but a Naughty Dog artist TLoUified these locations in Europe:
The sequel will center around how another group of survivors discovered that 60s latin dance music, combined with a sufficient electrical charge, keeps the infected at bay.
Now if we can only come up with a good subtitle...

I was hoping ND would make a new IP, but I guess this is a good business decision.
