Naughty Dog goes survival horror with The Last Of Us
|
Tonight at the VGAs Naughty Dog let loose the first trailer of their new survival horror game, The Last Of Us. The trailer shows us the two main characters, a gruff man named Joel (voiced by Troy Baker) and a smart teenage girl known as Ellie (voiced by Ashley Johnson). They’re survivors in a post-apocalyptic world over taken by nature and doomed by a plague which has resulted in bloodthirsty mutants. With The Last Of Us Naughty Dog hopes to “take a leap forward in cinematic gaming and storytelling, providing gamers with an experience unlike anything else in the industry”. They may just do that too you know? Putting the cinematic prowess of the Uncharted series together with a horror game based more so on survival than violence sounds like it could be a brand new experience. Unlike many modern horror games, the two main characters are normal people. They aren’t walking war machines, they aren’t on a mission to stop anything. They are just normal people trying to survive in a broken world, nothing more. |
