    The Last of Us

    The Last of Us was revealed as a PlayStation 3 exclusive last weekend. Since then, a lot of speculations circled around to find out and analyze what analyzed what we know so far.

    And now, as revealed by ign. Naughty Dog, Yes, the developer behind the PS3-exclusive smash hit series Uncharted, is developing the game. In the reveal trailer, a middle-aged man and a young girl are seen ravaging through an abandoned house, looking for supplies and fighting humans that seem to be infected by some sort of disease. After killing a number of these infected humans, they run through the rest of the house and find their way outside.

    “Abandoned cities reclaimed by nature. A population decimated by a modern plague. Survivors are killing each other for food, weapons; whatever they can get their hands on.

    Joel, a brutal survivor, and Ellie, a brave young teenage girl who is wise beyond her years, must work together if they hope to survive their journey across the US.”

    Check out the trailer below:

  • Uncharted 3 Teases The Last of Us PS3 Exclusive

    The Last of Us

    Update:

    This is true, Naughty Dog is behind the game.

    One of the most exciting announcements set for this weekend’s Spike VGA awards is the PS3 exclusive “The Last of Us“, which has been teased several times before.

    The mysterious title seems to be themed around a real-world disaster involving a viral outbreak that leaves “millions feared dead or infected”. The first teaser that went live shows a post-apocalypse feeling trailer which you can watch below:

    The second teaser was a viral video that referenced a fungus using bodies to grow.

    Lately, a new screenshot featured a newspaper talking about the end of humanity and quarantine zones.

    There’s not much else known about the title, though fans have since discovered this morning a very suspicious reference in Naughty Dog‘s Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception.

    As you can see in the video on this page, a newspaper in the game’s opening scene makes reference to a “deadly fungus” is The Last of Us fungus the same as the Uncharted fungus? Could Uncharted and The Last of Us happen in the same universe? Could developer Naughty Dog be behind this new exclusive? Is Naughty Dog just friends with whomever is making The Last of Us? Is this all just a joke? We will find answers in the upcoming Spike awards. Stay tuned

  • Hideo Kojima: “it may be hard to get into Rising”

    Metal Gear Solid: Rising

    Speaking to the latest issue of Official PlayStation Magazine, Hideo Kojima head of Kojima Productions, said the latest Metal Gear Solid title, Rising, might not appeal to fans of the series’ signature stealth gameplay but it “shouldn’t be a problem” for “those willing to try new things.”

    “If somebody thinks ‘I love Snake’ and just really wants traditional stealth gameplay and that experience, then it may be hard to get into Rising,” Kojima said.

    “But for people who are more open and willing to try new things, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

    With Metal Gear Solid: Rising, they’re taking the Metal Gear Solid 4 approach to creating Raiden.

    “Raiden in MGS4 was received very well, and I wanted to keep going with that direction in Rising. The people who liked him in 4 will like him in this, but it’s a personal preference.

    “The character in the game is supposed to equal the player, so if you want to introduce things to a new recruit, you have to learn how to interact with that world along with the character. If we had Snake [in MGS 2] he was this old, experienced veteran and there would’ve been a disconnect with the [new] players. So that’s why we brought in Raiden.”

    Metal Gear Solid: Rising coming for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC.
