Calling Geo, TLOU sequel being discussed by Naughty Dog!!!.
Quote:
Naughty Dog is currently considering its options regarding a sequel to The Last of Us, its critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic action game that launched to critical and commercial acclaim early last year.
Talking the week before the PlayStation 3 game gets its first and only single-player DLC, a prequel that explores some of the origins of main character Ellie, writer and creative director Neil Druckmann has said that Naughty Dog's looking at how best to approach a sequel.
"We just wrapped up Left Behind, and Bruce Straley, the game director, and I have been doing this for over four years now. So it's just time for a break, and to recharge the batteries," Druckmann told Eurogamer.
"We have started brainstorming some stuff. To be honest, some of them are sequel ideas, and some of them are brand new IP - we've spent the last few weeks brainstorming new IP. So we have to get some good steps and see... It's kind of like how we approached Left Behind. Can we tell people a story that's really worth telling, and that's not repeating itself? And if we can't, where can we get inspired - what is something that's really going to challenge us, and push storytelling in this medium forward?"
Here for it unless they take a **** on the plot of the first game. Unlike most I actually thought the ending was a bit anti-climactic, but that doesn't mean I want a continuation of their story. It might be cool if they followed other characters in the same setting, maybe a new person with immunity that will interact with the characters from the first game down the line.
I just read this article on another site, but thanks sis.
If they make a sequel it has to be following Joel and Ellie or they better not make one at all. I'm not here for the new setting with different characters really. If they make a new IP it should be sci-fi and/or futuristic imo.
I hope they also seek to push the medium and not just create a sequel for The Last of Us. I mean.. that would be acceptable but. It's Naughty Dog. I always expect innovation.

They always do. It will be very hard for them to surpass the story/characters/emotion of the first one though.
For a TLOU sequel, they need to make me have a mental breakdown and/or ponder suicide or it will not be a success.
