The Last of Us

Normally I wouldn't post about a game that won't come out for months, but here's a Lego trailer for it

I'm kind of disappointed they didn't do more with the setting, I've always wanted to see this sort of setting done, the whole fungus-zombie, but it seems like they kind of took a conservative approach to it with the zombies being the more sort of typical video game gnarly people sort of deal. I really think it is a missed opportunity, imagine if they took the "urban jungle" concept a few steps further and had chosen a very sparse, almost monochromatic Naussica Valley of the wind toxic jungle thing, spores dancing through the air, pure white, fuzzy buildings, and all of it is full of vicious zombies and giant insects and shit. That would really be something.

Saw the E3 trailer. It looks like the road but much less depressing.

The thing that's most promising about this game is the story. Naughty Dog has proven that they're more than capable of creating a fantastically cinematic game with the Uncharted series, and now they're breaking away from it to give another game the same treatment. The gameplay looks great, but the characters, voice acting, cutscenes, and story are what's going to make this a truly great game.

I haven't been following this game a whole lot, but I don't think you see exactly what the setting is about. You're forgetting about the other survivors. In a lot of games and movies, survivors seem to team up and fight the zombies together, so it just becomes a zombie shooting gallery. This is one of those games that uses them as main enemies, and makes you feel like nowhere - and no one - is safe.Like I said, I don't know all of the details, so I'm more than willing to be corrected, but I think they're going to focus more on the fighting between the groups of survivors. The zombies seem like more of a secondary threat that sets the stage for the apocalyptic setting.

Either way, I'm so looking forward to this game.
