The Last Of Us

And what is this obsession game developers have with apocalyptic settings/ zombie type enemies.
They seem to grab onto a genre, then run and run with it, until the horse has gone beyond being flogged.
Fresh ideas would be nice
 
Sorry to be cynical, but the hype machine is in full gear again.
Just wait until the game is released there will be moaning all over the place again
 
Its all about the tension and the story to me, and this couldnt be further from.uncharted in that sense (fron the demo atleast)

ITs a slight different take on 'zombies' and survival in general

A new genre in itself i think
 
Well I've booted up my old PS3 and it still works so i'll get my pre order in. This is the first game in a long time that has got me 'hyped'
 
I get what you mean, as I'm as sick of Zombies as the next guy is tbh. I don't mind the apocalyptic settings as much, I do think it's just a easy setting for dev teams though, It kind of leaves them to do anything they want as it's all set in the future. Does feel a little lazy, It's not really the setting of this game I'm looking forward to, it's just the polished game play and I know I'm going to be able to sink 15hrs into it without second thought. Love getting lost in a game.

Thats the spirit.. Guy I work with just asked if i'd lend him my PS3 when i've completed Last of Us so as he can play it.

I said, well. PS3 super slim. Not too expensive, worth it lol

Evidently there's still some life left in it though, it's all about how it's executed.

Usually when a reception to a game is this overwhelmingly positive - pretty much near 10's across the board - it doesn't disappoint.

You only have to read what people are saying: "masterpiece", "best game of this console generation", to see there's something a bit special at play here. There has to be unless they've all been paid off, which is extremely unlikely.
 
Well I picked up a cheap pre owned PS3 for this :). Been watching gameplay videos and been impressed with the scores its getting.

Also gonna play the back catalogue of PS3 exclusives.

Really looking forward to it.

You've got so much to look forward to :D the PS3 really has some of the best games I've played this generation - would love to experience them all like Uncharted and inFamous all over again (also make sure you don't overlook digital titles like Journey).

Thanks mate :).

I got Uncharted coming, hopefully back tomorrow so I get stuck into that before I get the last of us. Will pick up the rest over the coming weeks.
 
Hope you're starting with the first Uncharted, it makes playing the next two games even more special. :)

It's certainly a great time to get a PS3 anyway, still a few good games to come this year. By comparison, I'm really struggling to think what I'll be playing on my 360 next; multi-platform games aside, it's a pretty bleak year.
 
Yeah its the first one I've ordered :).

You're right, other than Gears I don't really play on my 360 so much anymore.
So looking forward to getting into a few PS3 exclusives.
 
Really looking forward to this :D. First pre-ordered game for quite some time, just have to keep avoiding the video's/spoilers for a little bit longer.
 
So where is everyone pre-ordering this?

I hopefully want to get it the day before release, it's been a long time since I pre-ordered a console game so not sure if they put a stop to early deliveries.
