Likewise, Druckmann cannot reveal whether a rumored Part III game from Naughty Dog is coming, but says: "I think there's more story to tell."

How ‘The Last of Us’ Plans to Bring the Zombie Genre Back to Life

Inside HBO's zombie apocalypse plan: A new drama starring 'Game of Thrones' veterans Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey from 'Chernobyl' creator Craig Mazin that aims to overcome Hollywood's legacy of weak video game adaptations and become a monster hit. "We put all of ourselves into this."

Best trilogy of all time incoming

 

[TGO]

No, there really isn't.

 

[Bartski]

 

[GymWolf]

Who gives a fuck about your shitshow story, just show me your nextgen violence\animation tech, please and thank you

 

[SLB1904]

redemption ark for Ellie. Honestly an older Ellie just travelling alone through America would be so cool.

 

[decisions]

A true artist would’ve understood the first game didn’t need a sequel.

 

[SSfox]

Nah... even Part 2 was already not that necessary imo, should have stopped to part 1 considering part 2 events

 

[K' Dash]

I mean, no?

 

[Punished Miku]

Obviously going to happen. He saw the AI story thread on here.

 

[Nautilus]

Hopefully there isn't. I think I say this on behalf of everyone that it would be more interesting if Naughty Dog tackled a new IP instead.

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[Hobbygaming]

It'll be a bonafide masterpiece whatever they do, a new IP or TLOU Part III

Naughty Dog's about to show how ahead of the game they are

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

just do it. i will be delighted to see the consequences of the shitshow that was TLoP2 reflected in the sales.

 

[TheRedRiders]

"I think there's more money to make"

 

[Hobbygaming]

I can't imagine how good the animations will look and I love me some Naughty Dog melee combat

 

[J3nga]

Well they pumped millions into HBO show, there's multiplayer game coming. You don't spend this much resources just to quit halfway.

 

[analog_future]

Two masterpieces down, one to go.

Will be the best gaming trilogy of all time.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

After TLOU2 this series has lost relevancy, just like Uncharted after the fourth one.

They should really fire Cuckmann and bring Amy Hennig back.

 

[just_jr]

Plot will probably be related to Dina and Ellie will start a new journey to find her

 

[DeepEnigma]

"I think there's more money to make"

Isn't that why companies make products in general?

 

[Bartski]

wonder how many posts till someone brings up Amy Hennig

edit: nevermind

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Only Part II has good writing. Let's Go Neil D.

I really like Abby but we don't need to see her again.

 

[SSfox]

wonder how many posts till someone brings up Amy Hennig

Welp you just did

 

[Puscifer]

No, there really isn't.

Yeah I agree, I'd be more interested in a prequel for Joel and his brother surrounding the incident that left them astranged or doing runs with Tess. At this point what on Earth could they really offer?

 

[Whitecrow]

Only in his mind.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Bring back Bruce Staley and ill gush all over it!

Infact I'm well interested ina solid third installment, just make it good. Maybe get someone else to write it with you dr. unkman.

 

[TheRedRiders]

Isn't that why companies make products in general?

Yes and not because there's "more story to tell".

 

[DeepEnigma]

Yes and not because there's "more story to tell".

Zoiks, I think you cracked the code!

 

[rofif]

Whatever they do, I really hope they WILL NOT listen to people on-line.
The most talkative are masses who didn't even finish it or don't have their own opinion on it.
People are wrong and in order for creativity and bold story telling to work, they really should not listen to the masses.
If ND listened, we would have a clone of tlou1 game. With same story, same happy-go-lucky Joel adventures... and now, we have, even if polarizing, extremely good game that takes chances and tries some different stuff. Almost like no other AAA game does.
The only other game that tried new stuff in AAA space is Death Stranding and people also whined.

Shut up people or we will al age playing only fifa and call of duty ffs

 

[TheTurboFD]

Please do TLOU 3 so that I can see all the YouTube thumbnails talking about how it will fail like they did with TLOU 2 . Then in reality it will be successful while people claim reviewers were paid and Sony were lying about numbers

“We have no plans to tell any stories beyond adapting the games,” he says. “We won’t run into the same issue as Game of Thrones since Part II doesn’t end on a cliffhanger.”

Indeed, neither Mazin nor Druckmann want a show that’s season after season of weary survivors trudging endlessly through decaying buildings wary of mushroom zombies — that would be an undead fate all its own.

“I don’t have any interest in a spinning-plates-go-on-forever show,” Mazin says. (He doesn’t say “like The Walking Dead” here, but I do.) “When it becomes a perpetual motion machine, it just can’t help but get kind of … stupid. Endings mean everything to me.”

Seems like the show wont have any filler, and a Part III will be covered in the show afterwards. Expect however, some pretty big changes in the show vs the games story. Things wont play out the exact same way. Which is good.
This franchise is going to remain top tier throughout.

Not true at all, TLOU 2 is the 5th best selling PS4 game of all-time and it released in 2020. People want more TLOU games and content.

 

[DenchDeckard]

100 percent in for more Abby, hope they Kill Ellie early on but she dies in some really pathetic way...like tetanus from cutting herself on a wire fence....just cutting one of her pathetic remaining fingers....

In fact she cuts her finger on a rusty ukulele string doing a rendition of "no limit" by 2 unlimited. then takes like 3 hours of cutscenes to die....then is instantly forgotten about.

 

[diffusionx]

More TLOU, more Horizon, more Insomniac capeshit, etc., Sony is becoming boring.

 

[Banjo64]

So Sony really looked at Gears/Halo/Forza and thought ‘sound strategy that lads, let’s do it’.

 

[RoboFu]

I think Sony just paid a lot for a tv show and told them they better make more games.

 

[GymWolf]

I think i saw her pitch for u4 some time ago and let's just say that the drunkman version was the less shitty one, if you can believe that...

 

[vpance]

If they're just going to keep pumping these out they should pull an AssCreed and make them in different eras/worlds.

 

[analog_future]

What!? You mean the guy throwing out ingenious names like "Cuckmann" isn't insightful?!

 

[TheRedRiders]

Lost Legacy was better than Uncharted 4 IMHO the latter being the weakest one in the franchise for me personally.

 

[Jormatar]

They should really fire Cuckmann and bring Amy Hennig back.

Last I heard she was busy writing for that Forspoken game.

 

[FUBARx89]

Pfffft, maybe if Bruce Straley returned to stop his dullard ideas.

 

[SlimySnake]

Finish the story. Cant end like that.

 

[Ar¢tos]

Gotta milk Ellie's the cow's tits!

 

[NinjaBoiX]

If they're just going to keep pumping these out they should pull an AssCreed and make them in different eras/worlds.

TLOU - 2013
TLOU2 - 2020
TLOU3 - 2025/6/7?

Yeah, they sure are “pumping them out”, a veritable production line…

 

[lughnasadh123]

I hope they go full open world this time. Days Gone gave me more of what I wanted than TLoU did. That and have a bit more subtlety to storytelling than what he was going for in 2. Shockingly I also hope to see more of Abby. Went in annoyed to have to play her to hating to have to go back to Ellie. Maybe concluding things with really finishing what they originally started in the first game.

 

[DJTaurus]

No, there really isn't.

Totally agree. It was a revenge story and that’s all. They are not any other likeable characters left to kill.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

So much for that misleading thread that was posted the other day...

 

[analog_future]

Plot will probably be related to Dina and Ellie will start a new journey to find her

I think Ellie will be seeking out the Fireflies and may stumble across Dina (and/or Abby) along the way.

I think a really beautiful ending that would be congruent with the tone of the series would for Ellie to find the Fireflies and willingly sacrifice herself to find a cure. And in typical TLOU fashion, we never find out whether her sacrifice led to an actual cure or not.
