Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us remains one of the most anticipated videogames on the horizon for any format, let alone Sony’s PlayStation 3.
The post-apocalyptic adventure takes place in a dilapidated Boston some 20 years after a fungal outbreak has rendered the globe a living wasteland. Players assume control of rough-and-ready black market dealer Joel, who is tasked with helping 14-year-old Ellie escape the quarantine zone.
The Last of Us places emphasis on survival skills, with gamers required to hunt for weapons and supplies while battling against foes, both human and infected. Combat is particularly brutal, though players will have the ability to approach situations any way they wish, whether by circumventing potential hazards via stealth or opting for more violent tactics.
Naughty Dog showcased the title at PAX Prime over the weekend, and as promised, the studio has released a lengthy gameplay walkthrough of the title, which you can see below. This footage was shown behind-closed-doors at E3 back in June, and includes new gameplay clips.
The Last of Us is scheduled to ship exclusively for PlayStation 3 in 2013.

It does look quite good, although seems heavily scripted in parts, and I don't like the highlighting objects to us in the game as it spoils the puzzle elements.
I also do not like the camera view......
Other than that, it looks like a great survival game.
Did anyone else expect to be attacked by Chimera at the start? lol

Looks fantastic, though I agree with #2. I hope the game doesn't take too much control away from the player.

People really need to start reading about games.It has been stated that the gme is not "scripted" whatever that means anyway.You have complete control over your actions just like every other ND game.

@7 Just because a game isnt scripted that doesnt mean it is open world. The game is probably still linear, just the dialogue changes depending on the specific situations the characters find themselves in. In other words, if you play the same scene over again a different way, different things will happen. I have no idea how #2 came to the conclusion that some parts seemed "heavily scripted" though. If you watch the first trailer for this, you can see that this played out completely differently. Unless you honestly believe the person who played, played in a way to specifically trigger the only bits of dialogue programmed into the enemy AI, im pretty sure this game is not as scripted as you think.
This will permanently ban this user and delete all associated comments. This action is irreversible, are you SURE you want to do this?!
