The Last of Us

The Last of Us is an upcoming post-apocalyptic third-person survival action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog for the PlayStation 3. It was officially revealed on December 10, 2011 during the Spike TV Video Game Awards. One year later, on December 7, 2012, it was officially revealed that the game will be released worldwide on May 7, 2013 during the Spike TV Video Game Awards. The game focuses on Joel (voiced byTroy Baker) and Ellie (voiced by Ashley Johnson) trekking across a post-apocalyptic America, hiding from scavengers and the military forces of Ellie's home, all the while trying to avoid the clutches of the Infected.

The game is scheduled for a release on May 7, 2013 as a PlayStation 3 exclusive.

Gameplay

It has been confirmed by Naughty Dog that the player will take control of Joel, while Ellie will be controlled by the AI. The game will involve both gunfighting and melee combat, and it will have a cover system. The player will fight off the Infected — former humans who were infected by the fungus — and the Survivors — other humans that are not infected but are hostile towards Joel and Ellie. Also, a new gameplay mechanic the developers have introduced is something that they call "dynamic stealth", meaning that there are many different types of strategies and techniques that the player can use at any given time as they approach a new situation, to which enemies will react differently. Though situations can have a different outcome, it all mainly depends on the player's preference of play.
