Infinity Ward Picks Up Two Naughty Dog Veterans For Key Spots

Two more important cogs in the machine at The Last Of Us developer Naughty Dog have exited the studio, with two leads making the move to Call of Duty studio Infinity Ward this week. Naughty Dog is losing lead game designer Jacob Minkoff and narrative design lead Taylor Kurosaki, who will be taking on the…

People are really putting the photo mode in The Last of Us: Remastered to good use. Who knew Joel’s teeth had such a high level of detail? I bet he flosses. (Via BurnYourLifeDown)

Another Stupid Gif Starring Joel From The Last Of Us

Naughty Dog’s Tal Peleg, the creator of Joel’s “Banderas” moment, has dropped the apocalypse survivor into another stupid gif, this time Jack Nicholson’s creepy smile/nod combo. For reference, Here’s the original: I wonder if he’s taking requests. If so…. Joel Nicholson [Vimeo, via ElTorro @ NeoGAF]

The Last of Us: The Kotaku Review

On the street where you live, there’s a house built out of zombie clichés. The porch looks like an abandoned quarantine zone, and the walls are covered with hastily scrawled graffiti. The roof is crafted from the finest wrecked national monuments, and the floors appear to be made of actual zombies. And yet: Two people…

​For One Night, The Last Of Us Was A Musical

Tonight’s stage performance of The Last of Us: One Night Live was weird, ramshackle, funny, and kinda unlike any video-game event I’ve seen. The best part, easily, was the musical number. Most of us have already seen this funny musical “alternate ending” to the game, which was initially thrown together by the cast on the…

​Watch The Last of Us: One Night Live, Right Here

Tonight in Santa Monica, something strange and wonderful took place: The actors, writers, musicians and game developers who made The Last of Us put on a performance, live onstage. The show was streamed live, but if you missed it (or want to catch it again), you can watch a recording of the whole thing right…

​Should You Get The Last of Us Again On PS4?

The Last of Us came out on the PlayStation 3 last year. It was very, very good. This week, a new and improved version of the game will come out for the PlayStation 4. But can a game that was already so good really be “improved” all that much? Tomorrow, The Last of Us: Remastered…

I Didn’t Know Ellie From The Last of Us Could Play Violin

I really liked The Last of Us, but if you ask me, it could’ve used a couple more elaborate musical numbers to lighten the mood. What if, for example, Ellie had been able to play violin? Violinist Taylor Davis agrees, and she’s put together this musical rendition of Gustavo Santaolalla’s unforgettable theme. Dance, Ellie! Dance…

Son of a Glitch: check out this comprehensive video on the many funny and useful glitches you can find in The Last of Us—you’ll even learn how to do most of em. My fave would have to be Joel and Ellie standing on top of their horses. So goofy.(By A+Start)

The Last Of Us: PS3 vs PS4

GameSpot has posted a video showing the differences between the PS3 and PS4 versions of The Last Of Us. Yeah, the PS4 version looks better. Duh. But damn, the PS3 version still looks amazing. Graphics Comparison: The Last Of Us Remastered PS3 Vs. PS4 [GameSpot]

The Last Of Us Is Coming To The PS4 On July 29

The post-apocalypse is about to get a whole lot prettier, folks. Sony has finally given the remaster PS4 version of The Last of Us a firm release date, and it’s July 29th. So get your DualShock 4 and a box of tissues ready, because I’m sure that this game will be even more emotionally disturbing…

There Is Last Of Us DLC In…Diablo III. Huh?

The infected enemies (clickers, etc) from The Last Of Us Are headed to…the PlayStation 4version of Diablo III. As DLC. Um, OK. Yay marketing.

Island In New York Looks Like The Last Of Us

One of the refreshing things about The Last Of Us’ vision of the apocalypse was that it didn’t involve destruction. Mankind hadn’t been killed off by bombs, or aliens, but by nature itself, which was only too happy to reclaim our cities. It’s an aesthetic you don’t see very often in this, our real and…

Porting a game from PS3 to PS4 is no simple task. Sure, one might imagine that you just bump up the resolution and put it on a new disc, but…no. As The Last of Us creative director Neil Druckmann puts it in this new EDGE feature, “We expected it to be Hell, and it was…

Damnit, Ellie! If you want to learn more about how Naughty Dog created Ellie’s AI for The Last of Us, you should definitely watch this video from the GDC Vault.

The Last Of Us Sequel Idea Isn’t Real, But Maybe It Should Be

You could call this beautiful image of Ellie “fan art”, but that would be a weird definition, since the artist actually worked on The Last Of Us. That artist was the exceptionally-talented Marek Okon, whose work we’ve featured here a few times before. While unrelated to any actual TLoU work going on at Naughty Dog,…
