The Last of Us creator is '50/50' on a sequel

The Last of Us has a 50 percent chance of getting a sequel, according to creative director Neil Druckmann.



From Kotaku:

Neil Druckmann, the creative director, left the door open for another game in The Last of Us's continuity as far back as June. And, of course, the game just released the DLC Left BehindLeft Behind. Yesterday, a redditor asked "how good are the chances of us entering the world of The Last of Us again?" to which Druckmann replied, "If you're asking about a sequel ... right now I'd say it's 50/50."

Plenty of fans of the game have voiced their opinion on wanting a sequel to the game. Many are in favor of keeping how the story ends and not touching it again. However, they also want a way to continue playing a game like this.

Kotaku goes on in their article and posts Druckmann's "ideas" for a sequel.

"There are clickers as big as buildings. Also you have lots of new gadgets and weapons (more lasers!). Oh and Ellie can now control the infected with her new powers. We'd also probably dive into the government conspiracy of creating a secret weapon that broke loose and that's how the outbreak started. There's probably a shadowy secret agency in all this that you find out Joel has been a member of this whole time (that's why he came home late in the prologue!)"

Yeah, that would make just about every TLOU fan grab their copy of the game and snap the disc in half. Those that just have a digital download would take their PlayStation 3 and throw it off the balcony or roof of their home.

TLOU is not my kind of game or genre, but I'm totally for an experience that uses the same narrative ideas that this game had. It doesn't get much better as far as presentation goes, and hopefully Naughty Dog will use some of that in the (expected) upcoming Uncharted game.
