Sony Announces, Doesn't Announce The Last of Us For PS4
In the video game industry, big publishers like to stick to strict marketing plans. Unlike, say, the film world, where directors and writers will frequently talk about their goals and future projects, video game companies typically won't discuss their plans until the PR schedule says it's okay.
Naughty Dog Denies Uncharted Writer "Forced Out" By Last Of Us Makers
It was a bit of a shock earlier this week when we heard that Amy Hennig - creative director and writer on the Uncharted series - had left developers Naughty Dog.

It's difficult to discuss why so many people would not want a sequel to The Last of Us without getting deep into spoiler territory. Its story has ... rather clear boundaries, let's say. But the game's creative director said in a Reddit AMA that there's a 50/50 chance there'll be another game in the series.

In the end, both The Last of Us and its (fantastic) new downloadable expansion Left Behind had a lot to say about life, loss, and why we fight to survive. But they said those things in slightly different ways.

I've never played anything quite like The Last of Us: Left Behind.
Guess which game has the most BAFTA award nominations! You get no brownie points for guessing The Last of Us. Naughty Dog's zombie survival game was nominated for ten awards (in nine categories) by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts—a curiously familiar number. Check out the full list of nominees here.

DLC is still such a new thing in gaming that it's hard to say if anyone has gotten it exactly right. Maybe BioWare? Maybe Rockstar? Maybe Bethesda? The people at Naughty Dog are taking a crack at it this week with the release of some single-player DLC for The Last of Us. They took their own path, wisely or not.

There's an Abandoned Territories multiplayer map pack dropping for Naughty Dog's post-apocalyptic masterpiece on October 15, but that's not important right now. What is important, is new story-driven, single-player content coming to The Last of Us in December or January.

"It can't be for nothing." Sure, this (spoilery) new montage of The Last of Us concept art is basically just a shameless feel-reel engineered to make people who played the game get all emotional. But guess what? It's super effective!
