Is 'The Last of Us' a PS3 ex?

 

[gotham_collector87]

Yeah it's developed by Naughty Dog.

 

[ZaCHw117]

OMG, AC3 is gonna be so epic...

 

[plasmid303]

Yeah, and did you guys see that Assassin's Creed III White Vita bundle? I want one.

 

[jimmie_dimmick]

Yeah, and did you guys see that Assassin's Creed III White Vita bundle? I want one.

Not sold on the Vita. I would like one but not at that price point.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Yeah, and did you guys see that Assassin's Creed III White Vita bundle? I want one.

Don't have a PS3, not too interested in the Vita, but the Uncharted games and The Last of us are very tempting.


But yeah, AC3 pirates of the caribbean version? ____ YEAH!

 

[ZaCHw117]

Awesome conference, so far Ubi still wins though.

 

[plasmid303]

Where were all the Vita game announcements?!

 

[ZaCHw117]

ahhh poor vita owners.

 

[batfan08]

I'd say that Ubi and Sony definitely won this year. I think that Sony had a couple of duds in that book thing (neat concept, and certainly interesting, but I'm not sure it's what the gamers came to see). The Last of Us had me drooling all over myself. Loved how realistic the AI was.

 

[hunnipot85]

that PS presentation was so boring. The Last of Us looks great though.

 

[plasmid303]

ahhh poor vita owners.

 

[Ktjn]

Where were all the Vita game announcements?!

Yeah, that's what everyone was asking. Vita for sure had the weakest showing out of everything.

Lastofus looks great. Another dark gritty game. Surprised at how many f bombs went off.

Everything else, ok. Wonderbook put me to sleep.

 

[plasmid303]

Yeah, the Wonderbook segment killed a lot of momentum, but overall I liked Sony's conference, though the lack of Vita games outside of ACIII and COD really stung.

Beyond and The Last of Us were the highlights for me.

B-

Ubisoft's was the best of the day.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Beyond looks interesting at best though.

 

[batfan08]

The thing about games like that is that it's really difficult to differentiate what is gameplay and what isn't.

 

[plasmid303]

It'll probably be like Heavy Rain in terms of gameplay, and I don't have a problem with that. I do hope that the story is better though.
