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 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,…

Do you still play The Last of Us multiplayer? I’m curious how many of you still sneak and creep on each other, given how many good multiplayer games have come out since last year. This trailer shows what’s new in this week’s DLC—new maps, new abilities, and new difficulty for the singleplayer campaign.

In Defense Of Zombie Games

Even in video game terms, this week has been chock full of zombie news. Sony and Microsoft, the dueling juggernauts of the console market, both offered up fresh and appropriately gory details about their respective (and exclusive) open-world games about killing the living dead—H1Z1 and State of Decay. Personally, I’m excited for both games. And…
