I'm on media black out, so not sure if trailer is new.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012...-2013-pre-order-bonuses-new-trailer-revealed/

It has been a big weekend for us here at Naughty Dog. We revealed a brand new trailer for The Last of Us at the Spike Video Game Awards on Friday along with the most important news for any fan – that The Last of Us will be released on May 7th, 2013!

This is our second trailer release and our first since announcing The Last of Us at least year’s VGA show. If you didn’t catch the show when it aired live or the Spike video stream, you can watch the full, uncensored trailer at the top of this post. We’ve tried to keep the trailer as spoiler-free as possible, while giving you some hints at the tense, emotional narrative the development team has crafted for The Last of Us.

That’s not all – we are also excited to announce details on the bonus content you can get for pre-ordering your copy of The Last of Us. Participating retailers will offer the Sights and Sounds Pack, which includes:

The official soundtrack of the game
A PS3 dynamic theme featuring the cover art
Two avatars for your PSN profile – Winter Joel and Winter Ellie


We’ve also worked with GameStop to provide exclusive bonus content in addition to the Sights and Sounds Pack. Pre-ordering at GameStop also nets you the Survival Pack, which includes:

Bonus experience points for multiplayer
A multiplayer melee attack booster
Some extra starting in-game cash
Special customizable character items for multiplayer
Two special bonus skins for Joel and Ellie which will be unlocked after your complete the single player campaign

Multiplayer, wha? We’re not quite ready to talk about it yet, but stay tuned as we’ll be revealing more details on multiplayer before The Last of Us is released on May 7th, 2013.

The team here is pumped to head into the home stretch to finish The Last of Us. We can’t wait to show you more in the coming months!

Black out as well but the art is nice.

 

[Chamber]

Multiplayer, what?

 

[W1SSY]

VGA trailer so it's not new. Also the post mentions multiplayer but no detail is given about it.

 

[BlackJace]

Title's kinda in your face, but the box art is very nice.

 

[Revolutionary]

Great boxart.

But multiplayer? Wha??

 

[clay_ghost]

Multiplayer is the news here

 

[Gintoki]

The trailer is the same one they've shown on the VGA's.

 

[darkside31337]

Uh yeah unless I'm missing something the big news is the multiplayer.

 

[Vilam]

Excellent box art.

 

[Wario64]

Yeah, should have added MP mode in the thread title. Too late to edit. Anyway, the info + box art should be news

 

[SolidSnakex]

Multiplayer is the news here

We've known that it would have multiplayer since the game was announced.

 

[Kagari]

The trailer is direct feed now, thanks.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

I thought they said no MP?

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

How is multiplayer news. Didn't we already hear about that.

 

[LuuKyK]

Love the cover.

Can't wait to see what they create for the multiplayer (which we already knew about btw).

 

[Wario64]

The trailer is direct feed now, thanks.

mod title edit to reflect multiplayer mode tease

 

[AgentChris]

We knew about MP for a long time now... The box art is nice.

 

[Tagg9]

I thought they said no MP?

They never said that, in fact they said the opposite.

 

[B.O.O.M]

MP is not the news here...since we knew about it for ages now.

Love the box art. Simple, artistic and really captures what the game is about. Nice pre order bonuses too.

 

[Johnas]

Clean box art. Nothing overwhelming.

Also, I haven't paid much attention to this game at all, but I know I've previously read comments about multiplayer.

 

[Irish]

The trailer is direct feed now, thanks.

Yeah, the quality of the trailer is the important part. Also.... that motherfucking soundtrack should be great.

I like the title placement on the cover.

 

[LiK]

Box art sucks

 

[Cade]

Kinda bummed, sounds like the multiplayer is just gonna be standard, UC-style multiplayer judging by the unlocks/boosters/cash/weapon customization. Oh well.

Boxart is great.

 

[MormaPope]

The Last of Us multiplayer has been known about for quite a while now, no info on what it actually is though. By the preorder description, sounds very CoD-esque as far as progression and customizing goes.

 

[Ricky_R]

I think I would've given a bit more protagonism to Joel and I would've reduced the name a bit too. Something seems off, but I still like it.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Excellent box art.

Box art sucks

teehee

 

[Killthee]

People are surprised about multiplayer? They confirmed it in June....

GE – Uncharted had tremendous success with the co-op portion in the online function in their game, will The Last of Us see that in the future?

ND – We are supporting multiplayer with The Last of Us. We’re not ready to talk about the details of how multiplayer will be implemented, however we can say that it is not co-op within the main campaign.

[MagicWithEarvin]

Eh, doesn't matter either way. I'll be getting the game on day one.

 

[JaseMath]

Not feeling the box art. It's a nice shot, but its not memorable. Nothing about it stands out.

Well, guess we know the MP mode will be another level up system I guess.

 

[Gorillaz]

They said months back MP would be in the game.

EDIT: Still wish to know if it was straight up player vs player or more like UC2 coop type MP

 

[GAMERG0D]

Not sure if I want the game now because of MP.

 

[Respawn]

I'm liking the boxart. Seems to make a connection with me.

 

[AgentChris]

Not sure if I want the game now because of MP.

...

 

[pharmboy044]

I thought they said no MP?

There was always MP, we just didn't know what it was.

 

[Kouichi]

Good looking box-art. I can't wait to see the multiplayer. I hope it turns out to be something unique and fun.

 

[jediyoshi]

the m word guys, commence freaking out.
i'll take the boxart.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Not sure if I want the game now because of MP.

...........................not sure you ever wanted it.

 

[MightyKAC]

Fucking GameStop pre-order bonuses.

*sigh*

 

[LiK]

Well, guess we know the MP mode will be another level up system I guess.

Season pass! Amirite?

 

[MormaPope]

The problem with this boxart is the letters/words being pushed to the side makes it look very odd, "OF US" looks like "OFUS".

 

[Antiwhippy]

Wait, what was the last line the girl said in the trailer?

Can't make it out.

 

[pharmboy044]

Not sure if I want the game now because of MP.

You must not have followed the game then. It was always known from day 1 that this would have MP.

Not sure how I missed this. Well, here's hoping.

 

[shinobi602]

Love the box art. Has a foreboding vibe to it.

 

[DJIzana]

/drool... can't wait for this one.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

oh lord, watching this in proper hq is just mindblowing.

 

[Killthee]

Season pass! Amirite?

Ugh....

I hope it's nothing like U3.
