I don't see anything wrong with having a sequel. It's not like it has to be a continuation of Joel and Ellie's storyline. They can take it to a completely different part of America, or even abroad to show how other places have dealt with the outbreak. I think this universe has way too much potential for flexibility to let it be a 'one and done' thing.

Oh no, it's I Still Know What You Did Last Summer all over again. Maybe they'll make a prequel and call it The Penultimate.

As long as it's good I'm all for a sequel. Why anyone would be against a good game being created(assuming this turns out to be a good game of course) is beyond me.
I loved TLOU, was my goty but I don't think I can go through all that again. All the emotions again, I don't know if I want that. But what am I saying, there's no chance I'll pass up a ND game, if it comes you know I'll be there day one. I personally think the ending was fine enough for no sequel, but if they can do it again and make it just as good as the first, who could say no? I have faith in ND that they can do it.
Though tbh I really want a ND in space game.
In my case, it's because I feel like they told a great story with a perfectly satisfying ending, and I don't really need/want to know what happened after
Ellie said ok
But hey, ND can do whatever they want, I'll be there waiting.

But nothing tells us that this is about Ellie and Joel again. I'm sure there are plenty of other great stories to tell in that universe.

Dawn of the Planet of The Last of Us?
Yeah, Naughty Dog should just keep on doing only new IP. Who cares if The Last Of Us sold incredibly well. They should just abandon this potential franchise. It's run its course.
/s
Sony/Naughty Dog are in this to make money. As much as they would love to make new IP, when they find a hit, its probably best to count your blessings and make a sequel.

one of us, the last of us 2
Ho yeah, I thought you were asking why people didn't want a sequel to Ellie and Joel story, specifically. I'm all for TLoU 2, if it's not about them.
Even though I'd like it even better if ND made an entirely new ip.

The First and the Last of Us
Yikes. This notion of Uncharted being a 2015 release date is blowing up. How are people seriously coming to this conclusion?
But they just released a new IP 7 months ago...? What developers with successful games jumps from new IP to new IP?

Considering Uncharted 4 is undoubtedly 2015, this is extremely unlikely.
Yeah, who needs more good games.

Bring on all the sequels we can handle, Naughty Dog. I'll buy them all.

The Past of Us: Origins
I like how everyone is so homed in on the game title. Personally I'm more interested in which direction they take this hypothetical sequel. I'd be okay with a completely different group of survivors set in the same timeline as the original, or in the future as the older Ellie (with or without Joel). Basically within the same universe as the original but a game that doesn't try to continue the story.

I don't think a direct sequel would blunt the ending TLoU as long as
Whatever ND does with the IP, I trust that Druckmann is smart enough to bring us something seriously compelling. I also wouldn't be opposed to TLoU being a one-and-done title.
it either never references the story in the first game directly i.e. it takes place in the same universe but a completely different part of the world, or it leans into the original story hard and directly deals with the consequences of Joel's decision and Elli's acceptance of it; Maybe she's much older and her immunity is passed onto her children, putting them at risk? Maybe both Fireflies and FEDRA find out about Ellie and they tear through Tommy's to get at her, killing most of the people (Joel included) and putting Ellie on the run, etc...

I don't know why people make fun of the name "The Last of Us 2". It's not the same thing as if "The Last Samurai" got a sequel with a 2 in the name because the last samurai died in the movie.
I'd bet its a holiday 2014 title. I'm sure Sony would have loved to put it out at launch if it was ready.
I don't really agree with that.

Id think this time around development time is shorter so its possible. But youd think there would be info leaks like casting, music ect .

If it's true tell another story of a different set of characters in that universe. I would be okay with that.
