This, a thousand times over. I've held off on downloading Left Behind with the genuine hope that this happens. So many people got rid of their PS3s in exchange for PS4 and now they can't play the game. I'm not one of those people, as I have too many games and too much download content on my PS3 to just move on without it, but the lack of backwards compatibility is atrocious imo. Especially now, since PS4 users are essentially sitting on their hands waiting for new games to come out right now. Naughty Dog needs to do the exact same thing Square did with Tomb Raider, and that's is pay a company to port over their game to PS4 so that it looks insane, and like something fans will buy over again. The problem with Naughty Dog is they are still a small company. This is why I believe they haven't announced The Last of Us 2 yet, because they don't have the man power to make it. They are working on Uncharted 4 for PS4 right now and if they do decide to do The Last of Us 2, then they have to put all other future projects on hold due to those projects eating up both their development teams. So it seems to me that the best idea is to get a PS4 conversion done with a 3rd party, make some money and hold over fans, and then work on a sequel at some point down the road. ND seems to have an original game idea they want to get off the ground after Uncharted, so I think that's why they keep saying they can't commit to any of these projects right now. The Last of Us was the reason we didn't get a commitment for Uncharted 4 sooner, so I think we are seeing a similar situation here. That's just my guess though. Hopefully a new series will deliver with the same level of awesomeness that Uncharted and The Last of Us have. Naughty Dog actually has two teams. While one was working on the Last of Us, the other one worked on U3 and U4. U4 has been in development for the past 3 years according to news. But since Amy Hennig was laid off, it looks Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley are taking the reins of Uncharted 4 which means most of their time will be devoted to that rather than a Last of Us Sequel. I know, that's why I said that if ND committed to TLoU2, that it would eat up both their development teams. So one would be working on U4, the other on TLoU2.

I loved the game, but it already played out like a movie. When I heard about this, all I could think was "Why?"

Isn't the last of us basically a movie to begin with?

I'd pass on watching the movie, the game was pretty average. Oh yeah, just won Best game, best actor, best action game, best story and best sound at the video game BAFTAs but it's just average. Plus, it's received Game of the Year nominations from pretty much every single publication that does awards and matters. You're entitled to not like it, but calling it average is like calling the Godfather average. Just because I don't like the Godfather, doesn't mean it isn't a masterpiece. Isn't the last of us basically a movie to begin with? Yes. Which is why I think a lot of us, I'd venture to say most of us, who enjoy the game would like to see original content based on the same universe.

Cool, and I can see why it got said nominations and awards but I wasn't a big fan of it. The graphics were amazing, but the controls were clunky and it had one of the most anti climatic endings I've ever seen in a video game.

i couldn't get into the gameplay at all for last of us. i was constantly awaiting the cut scenes. what really made the game was the acting and storyline and i think giving us a film is good for non-video game fans to experience the story too.
and yes hugh jackman from prisoners WAS joel. that is an easy call.

I'm curious to know what you personally wanted to see happen.

Even if it showed them meeting back up with Tommy would have been passable. I get what you're saying, but personally, I loved how it cut out. In reality, the game was about Joel and Ellie's relationship, not about the journey. The fact that it ended the way it did was the perfect way to wrap up their story. To me, if they showed anything more, it would've taken away from that.

I would probably watch. Ugh. They really need to release a "definitive edition" of this on PS4 already. The fact that it will be one of the main draws for Sony's streaming service makes it unlikely.Atleast for a while.

Sadly, I still haven't got the chance to play this game. Though I've heard nothing but good things about it.

Inside the next year or so, you'll have another Uncharted game. The Last of Us film will have zero impact on U4. If anything, the departure of Amy Hennig will have the biggest impact on U4, for better or worse we shall see.
