Talk:The Last of Us

Cool!

Hopefully Naughty Dog will be able to make a decent Zombie/Survival/Horror game, unlike all those other suck-fest's in the genre since Resident Evil 3!

Do you mean after RE3 or are you including RE3? What about Code Veronica? RE0? REmake? All were fantastic games in every way. Spartan198 21:36, 15 December 2011 (CST)

Sorry, I meant 3 was the last really good one. I never played any of those "in between" RE's because they always seemed to be for some obscure system only. But these modern ones... RE5, Dead Island, etc... They're okay, just not the same. Dead Space came close... but in space. I Am Alive probably won't happen and the next RE looks stu-pid. Naughty Dog usually does good work. I hope they can revive survival horror!

Well, Code Veronica X was on PS2, which isn't exactly an "obscure" console (in fact, it's the most successful game console ever made and calling it obscure is like calling the AR-15 rare). Code Veronica HD is also available for DL on PSN (not sure about Xbox Live) I wouldn't label the Gamecube (which REmake and RE0 are still exclusive to) as obscure either, really. And sign your posts by putting four tildes after it. ("~") Spartan198 06:42, 23 December 2011 (CST)

No, you're right. I don't know why I thought it was a such a hassle? Just go back and get a Gamecube whatever that is ;) Oh and I never sign posts when I'm ragging on something as sacred as VGs!

Dead Space isn't a zombie game, and there are quite a few zombie games that aren't "suck-fests" you just have bad taste, and if you're not going to sign your posts you might as well not post at all because post signing is mandatory here.Kornflakes89 17:29, 29 February 2012 (CST)

And not signing doesn't exactly make one's post anonymous... Acepeacemaker! ;) Spartan198 01:46, 1 March 2012 (CST)

Report me Kornflakes. This isn't really a zombie game either. -ACE

Yeah, from what I've seen to call this a zombie game would be like calling Fallout 3 a zombie game. It's a totally different animal. --K 13:55, 8 March 2012 (CST)

Zombies are written differently in just about everything they're featured in, you got the most common virus zombies, voodoo zombies, enhanced rabies strain zombies, nuclear radiation zombies (which does include the Fallout ghouls), zombies made from some asteroid landing on earth from outer space, zombies made from eating someones brains when if they have some special hormone, zombies that mutate into fat gassy things, zombies that mutate and become covered in boils then explode, zombies that become twice as large as any human, zombies that run, zombies that shamble towards you, and many other different types of zombies.

It's like Batman, he's written differently depending on the person(s) writing him. Kornflakes89 04:56, 15 August 2012 (CDT)

This game reminds of "I Am Legend" film, doesn't it? --Masterius 01:47, 9 March 2012 (CST)

Don't mean to revive a dead argument, but the infected enemies in this game are basically....zombies. Kornflakes89 (talk) 07:10, 28 May 2013 (EDT)

I haven't been keeping up. What level of intelligence do they display? Are they brainless savages that would blindly rush headlong at an approaching bulldozer without regard or do they possess enough intelligence to use complex weapons (like firearms) and coordinate tactically as a group? In other words, do they behave like rage infectees or the ganados/majini from RE? If the latter, I personally wouldn't consider them zombies. Spartan198 (talk) 16:08, 28 May 2013 (EDT)

Pretty much brainless savages that blindly rush at a guy who's aiming a lead pipe at their skull, don't use any weapons other than their hands and mouths and the only group coordination they display is, see human, rush him, kill him, eat him, but they do that regardless of whether they're in a group or not. They don't show any combat tactics other than grabbing, biting and swatting with their hands and the only thing that implies they have some kind of communication skills is yelling, growling or screatching loudly once they see you which seems to attract some others but that could just be them being attracted by loud noises. So I would say it's safe to consider them zombies or at least zombie-like. Regardless, game looks great and I haven't played a Naughty Dog game that I haven't enjoyed yet. Kornflakes89 (talk) 21:35, 28 May 2013 (EDT)

That's pretty much my definition of a zombie in a nutshell. I intend to pick this up at some point as well (post-apocalyptic in particular has always been one of my favorite sci-fi sub-genres ever since I saw The Road Warrior), but can't afford it right now with Saints Row IV, GTA V, and WWE 2K14 coming up. Spartan198 (talk) 15:48, 16 July 2013 (EDT)

Yeah, it's got some good stealth gameplay as well, so I think you'd enjoy it.Kornflakes89 (talk) 15:20, 30 July 2013 (EDT)

Story Trailer Weapon Listing

Hey there! Just watched the new trailer for the game (which looks amazing!) and I noticed that there should be a lot more weapons this time around. Here are some that i have been able to find. Those who are capable can do screencaps and upload them here.

At :30, you can see Ellie cocking what appears to be a Beretta Cheetah with wood grips and stainless slide (She has good trigger discipline too)

At :49, Soldiers are seen weilding flat top M4 rifles

At 1:08, a man on the left is showin holding a type of pump action shotgun. Could be an Ithica or Mossberg model

At 1:20, Ellie is seen holding a weapon of similar design as in the begging, but this one seems to be based of a Colt (like the one in Uncharted 2+3)

Hope it helps, great to see the library of weapons is growing--A single bullet can change history (talk) 19:49, 12 December 2012 (EST)

I think the Beretta is a model 70 based on the trigger guard, mag release, and finger step on the magazine.--One shot is all it takes. (talk) 17:20, 21 April 2013 (EDT)

I just added a bunch of images from the trailer to the page. --SmithandWesson36 (talk) 01:03, 22 April 2013 (EDT)

The "M4s" look to me like they could be full-length M16s with collapsible stocks. The barrel, handguard, and sight radius don't look short enough to be a carbine. Spartan198 (talk) 16:19, 28 May 2013 (EDT)

Well, I love this game but the diversity in weapons is rather lacking. I mean... It's really hilarious how the Colt Defender is the primary handgun- it's not exactly a prolific model. There are no Berettas, no Glocks, no S&Ws? The the Taurus is the only revolver too? You would think that the examples of firearms in the end of the world would be whatever the survivors could get their hands on. --PyramidHead (talk) 16:39, 24 June 2013 (EDT)

I think the Beretta used by the FEDRA guard during the scene where the group is captured is actually a 92FS Brigadier. It's got the slide and it looks to be a full size handgun. I also echo previous sentiments that the Assault Rifles are definitely some sort of M16. The barrel is far too long to be an M4. My bet is an A3/A4 hybrid due to the rails and full auto firing capability.ShootingLiberal (talk) 04:34, 27 June 2013 (EDT)

I'm gonna agree with you, Shooting. I thought on first glance the guard was using some sort of full sized Beretta, I obviously thought M9 at first with them being the US Military and all, but it's definitely a full sized Beretta. --PyramidHead (talk) 20:29, 27 June 2013 (EDT)

Missing a few guns

There are three weapons not mentioned in the article.

I have no pictures of them and even if I did, I can't seem to nail the file upload system on this site. I shall try my best to visualize them.

In multiplayer, available for use is the "burst rifle," which fires in 3 round burst only. Naturally, with all the weird weapon choices in this game, Naughty Dog didn't decide to make it like... an M16A2 or M16A4. It's some really deformed looking assault rifle-ish thing with a skeleton butt stock, really short barrel, and an overall stubby appearance. My guess? A FAL Para. Maybe?

There's also a "military sniper" available in MP. It fires semi auto and sort of looks like the FNH Ballista, a Remington MSR, and/or the XM2010. But all those rifles are bolt action.

In singleplayer, Joel and his group are harassed by a bandit with some sort of military grade sniper rifle at one point while sneaking through some suburbs. Joel makes it to the sniper's nest, deals with the sniper, and then uses the rifle to cover the group from bandit attacks and infected attacks. The rifle is never seen again and is mounted on a swiveling monopod. My guess was that it was some sort of British Accuracy International rifle, like the L118a or L96A1. --PyramidHead (talk) 20:48, 27 June 2013 (EDT)

I'm gonna go ahead and agree in regards to the sniper rifle. My first guess was an Accuracy International but I wasn't sure because I'm not very good with modern bolt actions. I know there's also some stock Remington makes for the 700 that makes it look similar to an AI but you'd probably know better than I would.ShootingLiberal (talk) 06:59, 28 June 2013 (EDT)
