*sigh* Dammit. I would like a new IP and not that bullshit again.

It would be really interesting if they went with a Enders Game story where the humans can no longer be trusted and Ellies virus has evolved whereby she can communicate with the clickers.

The game is centered around an older Ellie and a Clicker who go out looking for a cure which grows somewhere in South America. She has to fight off humans and a new set of enemies, the pure breed hosts which are a tribal human / clicker type of super human that have learnt to control the virus.

The story flashes back into how the virus was supposed to have been used by a arms manufacturer to create a super soldier but it went wrong when a blackmarket deal went wrong.

The natives who are have managed to control the virus want mankind to fail for taking what they consider was a god given power and right to them and messing with power they couldn't control.

Can't really agree with that, yes PS3 lasted longer than other consoles, but they always made a completely new franchise based on the capabilities of the new system. Also they effectively made one new franchise in about every five years. Even with The last of Us we have only gotten one new franchise from them in the last 10 years(Uncharted will be 10 years old next year).

I don't think The Last of Us needs a sequel. It is fine as it is, it's a nice story with a good ending and it should stay that way. A sequel won't do any good. But, oh well, money and stuff, I guess it's inevitable.

Well, let's hope that at least the gameplay gets a bit better.

Well maybe could be different story in same universe.

I was hoping for Savage starkiller. But i guess we are going with TLOS 3 ... or wait, was one uncharted? :p

Honestly, i'm tired of their sappy story style. I just want to have fun playing a game without getting hit in the feels. I can always watch a soap opera if i want that.

That sounds like a ruthless gorey gritty star wars lol did you mean savage starlight?

I would rather they do that too. They've done cartoony platformer, kart racing, action adventure, horror stealth, they can do action adventure Sci Fi now. 

i hope totally new story, other characters and location.

May be in Africa. Like the origin for the virus and you going to destroy it there. membe Resident Evil 5!?

I agree with those saying it shouldn't have a sequel, it's a much stronger game stand-alone. If they are doing it, then they must have new characters in a new environment with their own story otherwise it would likely just feel forced and stupid.

I get your point, there seems to be a pattern of new franchises being fewer and farer in between and older ones being milked out more. I guess it's Uncharted 4 that messed up the time frame, and i was already afraid this would happen when the announced that game. I would rather have hade TLOU2 already instead of Unharted 4, but that's just my personal preference.
