Seems like he's been pushed but it's been made to look like he's walked in order for Microsoft to avoid another potentially damaging PR disaster.

Whilst I can't help feeling "The last of us" is a re-skinned Uncharted, and it has some conventient gameplay mechanisms (i.e. girl who can't swim) around half way through the thing I feel it's one of the best games I've played. In terms of plotline and story it's way ahead of anything else. I like open-world games such as Skyrim, and whilst this has to be the oppisite to that to facilitate the tight storyline, I'd think it's one of the best games of this generation.

The Last of Us, has definitely been one of the best games I've ever played. The storyline could be quite easily made into a movie it's that good. It certainly has an Uncharted feel about the game, but that isn't a bad thing.
Will there be a second? I would imagine so yes.

Bump!
This thread always suffers over the summer months

Anyway today was the Gamescom event over in Cologne, major news from both MS and Sony although the MS one was behind closed doors so there isn't quite as much to sink your teeth into.

The big MS news is that any pre-orders of an Xbox One will ship with a copy of FIFA 14 for FREE. That pretty much makes up for the diff in prices in the consoles. Of course, if you're not a fan of fifa then this will mean nothing to you

As far as Sony goes, they showed off some nice looking indie titles but nothing too major. There was, however, an official release date given. The PS4 will launch in Europe on 29/11/13 for £349 (15/11/13 in the USA).
If you haven't pre-ordered a console already I suspect you may not be allocated a launch day unit.

Any news on 'The Last Guardian' yet?

This remains the only game I am interested in.

Not seen anything new in years, but supposedly still in development. Pretty much guaranteed to have been shifted over to PS4 now, rather than the PS3 title it was originally meant to be.
Who knows, we might see some new footage at the Tokyo Game Show in a couple of months.

Can anyone recommend a fun multiplayer game for PS3 other than Fifa? I did try Rugby League and Madden when my mates were last round but RL is rubbish and Madden was a bit too hard for them to pick up in limited time.

It depends on what kind of game you're after but I like F1 race start's. Quite a fun game to play and pretty much the same as mario kart which is a classic.



Just downloaded the fifa 14 demo, Had a quick go on the pc version and just about to try the xbox version. So far I'm not convinced I'll be parting with any cash for it. With GTA V a week away I think that's where my wonga will be going. Can't wait! I can't remember a game launch ever being as big as this.
