Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us announced at VGAs
The bomb has been dropped big time: The Last of Us has been announced at the Spike VGAs for PS3, coming as a brand new IP from Naughty Dog.
The trailer showed a man and a young woman, who looked a lot like Ellen Page, fending off what appeared to be ant-like zombies of some sort before running out to a environment of a metro city and jungle that had a big I Am Legend vibe
No date was given, however.
Last of Us is a “survival and action elements to tell a character driven story about a population decimated by a modern plague,” headlined by a duo known as Joel and Ellie – the Page-looking gal – as they go through the US.
“We are excited to finally unveil The Last of Us, a project the team has been working hard on for some time,” said Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells.
“Naughty Dog’s mission is to change the way people experience videogames. We are confident The Last of Us will take a leap forward in cinematic gaming and storytelling, providing gamers with an experience unlike anything else in the industry.”
The announcement of the new project, being headed by studio game director Bruce Stanley and Uncharted 2 director Neil Druckmann, shows the team now has two teams operating at once. It’s been focussing on Uncharted since its inception in 2007, so this is a big ultra-shocker.
It’s also the first time the studio has introduced a second new IP in the same hardware generation. Trailer and first screens is below.

Ellen Page not involved with The Last of Us, Enslaved design lead on board
That does look a lot like Ellen Page in The Last of Us. Safe to assume she’ll be voicing the female character? No.
It was speculated by Naughty Dog fans following the game’s unveil at the VGAs over the weekend that the Inception and Juno actress would be involved.
But studio creative lead Neil Druckmann tweeted last night the roles of both main character in the game, Ellie and Joel, would be played by Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker.
Johnson is a relative unknown in gaming, but Baker VO’ed as Snow in Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2, Vincent in Catherine, Two-Face in Arkham City and Booker DeWitt in BioShock Infinite.
Its also been revealed that former lead designer on Enslaved, Mark Richard Davies, is working on the project. That may explain why the trailer came with a dash of Ninja Theory’s effort.
The Last of Us remains dateless for PS3.

The Last of Us in development for two years
Enslaved designer working on new IP.
12.11.11 / 11:23 / Sal Romano
A few new bits on Naughty Dog’s newly-announced PlayStation 3 title The Last of Us have come out by way of the Twitter-verse.
The game has been in development for two years, according to Naughty Dog creative director Neil Druckmann. The unbelievable bit of this announcement, according to Geoff Keighley, is that Naughty Dog had a second full team working in secret on The Last of Us. This was also confirmed by Naughty Dog co-president Christophe Balestra.
Mark Richard Davies, who was lead designer on Ninja Theory’s Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, is working on the new IP. It is unknown if he’s lead designer, however.
The two lead characters, Joel and Ellie, are played by Troy Baker (Booker in BioShock Infinite, Snow in Final Fantasy XIII, Vincent in Catherine, Yuri in Tales of Vesperia) and Ashley Johnson (Gwen in Ben 10, Terra in Teen Titans), respectively. Johnson is doing mo-cap for her character, as well.
The trailer itself was rendered in in-engine on PlayStation 3 hardware, according to Christophe Balestra. Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells also tweeted about this.
Finally, there is “no network play,” according to the official UK PlayStation website.

Report: The Last of Us aiming for late 2012-early 2013
Naughty Dog is aiming to have The Last of Us out by last 2012 or early 2013, a USA Today report has said, while its also been confirmed who will compose the game’s score.
The USAT article says the title, unveiled at the VGAs, will be based from the same third-person perspective that Uncharted came from, with Naughty Dog co-president Christophe Balestra telling the publication it was “trying to move the medium of video games into an area elevated in the same manner of respect” that films have done.
“We want to redefine what our medium is even called. ‘Video game’ is not an accurate name anymore. It is not necessarily a game with rules and a winner and a loser. It’s an experience.”
Creative director Neil Druckmann said the idea of The Last of Us came about after watching BBC nature documentary Planet Earth, in which it showed how the cordyceps fungus infected ants, resulting in taking over its brain and producing growths from its head.
Hence, the clip of it being used in a teaser before the reveal.
As soon as game director Bruce Straley seen it, he admitted: “We instantly thought ‘humans’.”
On creating the second team for the game, ND co-president Evan Wells added if it didn’t “expand the roles for people, we could potentially lose them, because they really wanted to be challenged. We didn’t want to lose that talent.”
After Uncharted 2 shipped in 2009, some of the dev team from that moved over, while everyone else worked on Uncharted 3.
Oscar-winning Santaolalla to compose score
Naughty Dog’s also confirmed via a presentation to press in the US overnight (via Eurogamer) that Oscar-winning composer Gustavo Santaolalla will score the soundtrack.
Santolalla scored Brokeback Mountain and the incredible Babel. Part of his work can be hard towards the end of the unveil trailer.
“He’s awesome,” said Druckmann. “He picks and chooses what he works on; he could work on all these big movies. We brought him in here, showed him the game, walked him through the whole story and what we’re trying to do, and he said ‘I want to be a part of this’.”
He added the focus on the game won’t be on the monsters, but rather “the relationship between Joel and Ellie,” the lead characters for the game.

The Last of Us trailer pulled for copyright infringement
Viacom appears to have gone on some sort of YouTube copyright infringement rampage, with the result that a huge number of videos related to the VGAs have been pulled. One of these is the official trailer for The Last of Us, hosted on the game’s own YouTube channel, resulting in a copyright infringement notice smack in the middle of its own website. Whoops. Sony told Kotaku it hopes to have the matter resolved shortly.

The Last of Us not a “zombie game,” but a father-daughter-like “love story”
Naughty Dog has said the inspiration for the fungus affecting the human population in The Last of Us, was inspired by the Cordyceps fungi showing in BBC’s Planet Earth series, meaning the title is most definitely not a “zombie game.”

Stunning Last of Us concept art appears online
AllGamesBeta – yup, it’s back – has gone live with what seems to be three pieces of some amazing concept art taken from The Last of Us. The first shows main duo Joel and Ellie travelling on the outskirts of a city – we’re going to guess San Francisco – with the second showing the pair laughing around a campfire. The third piece of art shows them hiding from potential foes. Get the art below the break.
