Resembling Cormac McCarthy's 'The Road' (if you haven't read the novel you will no doubt be familiar with John Hillcoat's successful movie starring Viggo Mortenson) It's a survival/horror game in which most of modern civilisation has been wiped out by a virus. Main characters Joel and Ellie are trying to survive this post-Apocalyptic world in the abandoned cities of what remains of the United States, fighting off zombie-mutants and looking for anything that will help them make it through another day.
Ellie, described as a 'brave teenage girl who is wise beyond her years', looks supsiciously like Ellen Page to me, but she's really voiced by actress Ashley Johnson, also responsible for voicing the character Gwen Tennyson on Cartoon Network's succesfull 'Ben10' animated series.
Creative director Neil Druckmann revealed on Twitter that the game has been in development for the last two years already. If you really dig it, you can hook up with the Playstation store now and get some early goodies (avatars) that have been made available for your console.No doubt that this game will push the PS3 to the limits to deliver the best graphics possible to date and will become ND's next franchise in 2012. The trailer for 'The Last of Us' was first revealed this weekend at the Spike Game Awards and can now be viewed online. Check it out here below, or visit the official site.
