The Last of Us - "Hush" developer diary

[Blacksite]

A few weeks ago we revealed the Infected and let select media get some hands-on time against these unpredictable, fungus-infested humans. The responses were tension-filled and fantastic. We’re excited to share more information with you about The Last of Us and the Infected.



Starting with this video we’re kicking off a series that will pull back the curtain on our design, our technology, and our ideas that shape The Last of Us. We want to give you a straightforward look at our development process and the work we do here at Naughty Dog. We invited Area 5 to visit the studio and capture the development process. Along the way we’ll be unpacking the many different aspects of the game and its development with a documentarian’s approach.

This first video is just a taste of what’s upcoming. Extended cuts of these videos will be available via the game disc. We’ll have more behind-the-scenes access and content as we march toward June 14th and the launch of The Last of Us.

I'm so excited for this game. The visual quality/AI/animation PS3 can push thanks to Cell processor is just amazing.

Yep, PS3 never ceases to amaze me with its 1st party games.

To be fair, not all credit goes to PS3. The awesome sauce that is Naughty Dog gets atleast 50% of that praise

I like the concept of when they die and how the fungus spreads into the surroundings, grows, and releases spores to infect others. This really is something a bit different from the traditional zombie concept, even if they do move around and attack like them.

Of course.

I agree with you on the fungus but I don't think zombies move and communicate via echolocation, so that'd be another unique concept.

Everything about this video is amazing, and I'm even hoping that's part of the game's soundtrack.
