Who knows this game could in some way tie back to Uncharted. Maybe Nate unleashed something in one of his adventures that brought on this virus/apocalyptic world.

Re: The Last of Us (PS3)
The Last Of Us scored by Oscar-winner Gustavo Santaolalla
Naughty Dog has revealed that double Oscar-winner Gustavo Santaolalla is composing the music for upcoming PS3-exclusive The Last Of Us.
The news came during a presentation at the studio's Santa Monica HQ on Monday, where the full version of the game's main theme - a section of which features at the end of the reveal trailer - was played to press.
"He's awesome," said Neil Druckmann, creative director and writer on The Last Of Us. "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'."
The Argentine composer won back-to-back Academy Awards for Best Score for his work on Brokeback Mountain (2005) and Babel (2006).
The main theme is acoustic guitar-led, an arpeggiated figure in a minor key over tribal percussion, building to a dissonant climax of fiercely-strummed chords.
"With this music we're trying to get emotion. We're not going for horror," Druckmann explained.
"There's going to be horrific things happening in this game, but that's not the focus of it. The monsters aren't the focus of it, it's the relationship between Joel and Ellie."Go Noles!!! >>----->Comment

Re: The Last of Us (PS3)
Naughty Dog Officially Split Into Two Teams
Uncharted 3 and The Last of Us are from two different groups.
Naughty Dog, the keystone of Sony's 15 studio first party roster, has typically made one game at a time. But sometime after Uncharted 2: Among Thieves came out, Naughty Dog split its focus onto two separate projects. Indeed, the team that was responsible for Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is not the same team that's been toiling away on The Last of Us for the last two years.
As confirmed by Naughty Dog's Co-President Christophe Balestra on Twitter, two teams are now hard at work at Naughty Dog. One team is presumably working on Uncharted 3's post-release content while the other is indeed working on The Last of Us.
This is good news for PS3 gamers, since we'll likely get twice as many games out of the studio as we once looked forward to. The Last of Us will mark the fourth game Naughty Dog has released on PS3 since its 2006 launch, and naturally, we'll eagerly await word on what the other team is working on following Uncharted 3's DLC push.Comment

Re: The Last of Us (PS3)
Eurogamer Preview
It's a third-person action-adventure with survival elements, set in a post-apocalyptic world after most of the population has been wiped out by a deadly virus, while those remaining are threatened by infected, zombie-like humans.
The inspiration for this was a gruesome sequence from the BBC's Planet Earth series, featuring Cordyceps, fungi that invade and kill insects. The starting point for the game, then, was the question: "What would happen if it jumped to humans?"
Major artistic inspirations, meanwhile, include the movies No Country For Old Men and The Road, comic The Walking Dead and WWII novel City of Thieves.
Contrary to evidence in the trailer, however, The Last of Us is "not a zombie game," insists Staley. Druckmann explains: "If the game was about the monsters, we would have not showed them. The story's not about them, so [we thought] let's get it out of the way."
Instead, he wants us to consider the relationship between its two lead characters. Joel is a survivor and anti-hero (played by Troy Baker), and Ellie is a 14 year-old girl (played by 28 year-old Ashley Johnson) with no memory of the world pre-apocalypse.The game will play out across various US cities and it's suggested that survival will involve both killing and scavenging. Do you control Joel alone? Ellie? Both? Is it co-op? Naughty Dog isn't saying.
"It's story-driven, [but] the whole triangle is story, gameplay and art," says Staley. "As a gamer it's all about strategy and giving the player enough tools in their toolkit so that they can come upon something and choose and have the consequences play out within their choices."
How those choices play out remains unclear, but don't expect any kind of Heavy Rain-esque branching narrative. "We're telling it the way we've been developing this method at Naughty Dog," explains Druckmann. "We're evolving it, but I can't say anymore.So if not a horror game, what is it? "This is going to sound corny and it might not appeal to gamers, but I would say it's a love story," he says. "It's not a romantic love story, it's a love story about a father-daughter-like relationship."
This was in part influenced by the memorable sequence between Nathan Drake and Tenzin, his Tibetan guide, in Uncharted 2. "We kept joking, wouldn't it be intriguing to develop a whole game where you're building this relationship, not just a level," he says.Last edited by Flawless; 12-13-2011, 05:53 AM.Go Noles!!! >>----->Comment
