One of Saturday's bigger well-kept secrets was The Last of Us, a PlayStation 3 exclusive from Naughty Dog that Sony spent most of the week leading up to the VGAs teasing us about. Rampant speculation about a post-apocalypse ushered along by mind-controlling fungus appeared to be confirmed by what we saw in the cinematic trailer that played during the awards show.
Now a press release fills out a few more details about the game, which follows a pair of survivors -- Joel and Ellie -- as they "journey across what remains of the United States" in a world "decimated by a modern plague." The game is described as a blend of survival and action, all of it built around Naughty Dog's trademark focus on character development and narrative.
In a further update, Naughty Dog creative director Neil Druckmann took to Twitter to drop another tidbit of info that didn't make it into the press release. The voices of Joel and Ellie that you heard in the trailer and will hear in the game were provided by Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, respectively.
Johnson hasn't done a ton of work on the video game side of things, but as Gwen in the Ben 10: Ultimate Alien TV series she's lent her voice to those games as well. Baker's voice is one you've heard frequently, most recently in Batman: Arkham City as Two-Face and in Catherine as Vincent Brooks. He's also the voice of protagonist Booker DeWitt in Irrational Games' BioShock Infinite.

am i the only one who thought at first that the girl was voiced by Ellen Page? Me and my friend both thought so, but maybe that was just because the actual character looks kind of like her lol

After learning Naughty Dog is behind this game and seeing the trailer I'm already super pumped. I love that they are using the rare post apocalyptic world that is overgrown rather than yet another bland wasteland. I'm also excited to see a zombie-esque game being about a plague and having characters really struggling to survive (having to kill uninfected humans for survival). With Naughty Dog bringing their movie like production to such a game I cant imagine it won't be great.

Just when I thought Naughty Dog had no suprises left, they reveal themselves to be the developer behind The Last of Us, Wow (Sony actually good at keeping secrets for once). Totally can't wait to hear more about this in the coming months. Also, I hope this is an open-world/sandbox title. Because I hope the structure of this game's different from Uncharted. Not that it's bad or anything (cause it's not), I just hope with a new IP, they do something new (though if this has some similarities to Uncharted, I'm not complaining). Also, Troy Baker is going to become the next Nolan North, calling it now.

I've seen so many people claiming "it's not a zombie game!", not sure if it's trolling or just ignorance but that just bugs me.. it clearly is the same basic premise.
Spinning the situation as a mind controlling fungal plague doesn't change anything. They might look like humanoid spores instead of dead people, but it will still cause the same things to happen in the game as if they were just a bunch of zombies.
According to the trailer the infected people act basically the same as a zombie would, even go as far as to start eatting the person the main characters had just killed? lol.
Not that any of it changes my opinion on the game at all.
I feel zombies are overdone.. BUT with Naughty Dog making it - it should be one of the best yet. So I am actually looking forward to it, but it still is just another zombie apocolypse game no matter how it's spun.

This game is going to be SOOOOOOOO good. It's like being thrown into the world of I am Legend except you're not quite as lonley as will smith and baddies can come out in the day.
