The Last of Us - Announcement Trailer

Sony's new game was revealed at the VGAs in the weekend, proving to be - as many people guessed - The Last of Us, a new survival-horror franchise from Uncharted developer Naughty Dog.

It looks pretty cool, what we can see of it (which doesn't appear to include any gameplay), but then we're suckers for post-apocalyptic narrative and Naughty Dog, so they kinda had us from the get-go anyway.

Neil Duckmann, Creative Director at Naughty Dog and Bruce Straley, Game Director, provided this description of the title over on the PlayStation Blog:

"The Last of Us is a genre-defining experience that blends survival and action elements to tell a character driven tale about a modern plague decimating mankind. Nature encroaches upon civilization, forcing remaining survivors to kill for food, weapons and whatever they can find. Joel, a ruthless survivor, and Ellie, a brave young teenage girl who is wise beyond her years, must work together to survive their journey across what remains of the United States."

An exciting reveal - if perhaps not something no one would believe.
