The Last Of Us new info in next Official PlayStation Magazine UK

Official PlayStation Magazine ed Ben Wilson just tweeted a shot of the next OPM cover out at the end of January, with The Last Of Us star Ellie on the cover. The mag has a huge feature on the Uncharted 3 developer’s next game, including a studio visit to meet and interview Naughty Dog, so it’s packed with info to follow on from the The Last Of trailer debut at the VGAs.

 

:D

NEW DETAILS

Last December Naughty Dog unveiled an elusive PS3 exclusive at Spike’s ‘Video Game Awards’ titled The Last of Us -- screenshots can be found here. Shrouded in mystery, the game quickly gained mass attention which spurred speculation about the game’s premise, character connection, & type of gameplay the game will deliver when it sees release in late 2012/early 2013.

Today new details on the game’s gameplay have been shared & it is sounding like The Last of Us will deliver an experience that is quite the departure from Uncharted.

In the latest issue of Official PlayStation Magazine, they have a cover story about The Last of Us & as subscribers get their copies, details revealed in the issue are beginning to surface. A forum user on GameTrailers has shared some of the details from the magazine & they help paint a clearer picture as to what to expect from The Last of Us.

According to the details posted, The Last of Us won’t be as linear as Uncharted; however, it also won’t be an open-world game. Players will be able to enter various locations like coffee shops but doing so is completely optional. In the debut trailer, you saw Joel and Ellie scavenging for ammo & that was for a reason as ammo shall be in short supply, so gunfights will not play a major role like they have in Uncharted. Joel and Ellie will work together but details on how they will weren't revealed, though it is said it won’t be in an obvious manner.

Details:

-Not as linear as the Uncharted games but not open world, you can choose to go into places such as a coffee shop but its optional

-Ammo is in short supply, so don't expect shootouts like in uncharted.

-There will be situations where you have to help the other, but not in an obvious way.

All of this sound fantastic!!

I really can't wait! There's really nothing I can explain about the feeling of euphoria I have over this title, but it exceeds everything I've ever been hyped for before, by quite some distance.

 

Even more than Heavy Rain?? And by quite some distance?? I've learned to trust your judgement CGI, sales and otherwise, so I gotta admit your post here throws a little extra excitement my way. Although I was of course already excited for it, being Naughty Dog and all. Oh and new gameplay details are very intriguing as well.

While Naughty Dog does take a slight dig at David Cage's efforts with Heavy Rain, I think they have a point, albeit slightly, about it's choice of game play (although again, I found HR's mechanics to be revolutionary). Either way, here's hoping then that ND improves upon a cinematic foundation laid by Heavy Rain.

Man ND sure is pumped for this. They seem really eager and confident with their product ^^

Excellent interview / info with Eurogamer!

Sure made me horny to see all of those awards for Uncharted XD

 

I love the fact that they're not actually giving us a release date. It feels like they REALLY have a unique idea that they want to make sure they nail properly.

 

Imagine Uncharted 2 in 2007 instead of Drakes Fortune. Not saying UC1 was bad, but you get what i mean XD.

Some EDGE scans. While one of them contains a placeholder date of a 2013 release, I would not be shocked with, and in fact, expect, a 2013 release date (somewhere around Feb / March.

Seems like a fair release date, I definitely don't want them to rush this game out the door, I want this game to be awesome.
