Agreed. The Last Of Us, like Heavy Rain, seems to be dabbling with old and new genre combinations. Is it better for gaming, no way to know, but it's in my realm of intrigue.

As for TR's pre-order, I did it on Steam. If it ends up "bad", it will be my first and last through them.

I'm hoping it turns out to be better for gaming, so developers can work to add great stories into their games.  If TLOU ends up being a huge hit then you can bet there will be so many trying to copy them and get the same success, which would be bad for gaming.  

The Last Of Us is going to do strong numbers, I just sense it. The last time I felt this strong about a sales prediction, the game exceeded my expectations by nearly a million. This is going to be at least a 4 million seller!

Which game was it that exceeded your expectations?  Uncharted 2?  I actually am thinking 4.5mil - 5mil and a 95 metacritic
