this is discussion on then new upcoming survival game the last of us. here is the synopsis;
Cast
The main characters in the game, Ellie and Joel, are played by Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker, respectively. Joel is a "ruthless" survivor and Ellie is a 14-year-old girl who is wise beyond her years, but is too young to remember the world as it once was.[4]
Setting
The game will start in post-apocalyptic Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania[5] and slowly move its way out of the city to other unannounced areas. It is suggested that survival will involve both killing and scavenging.[6]
Gameplay
It's been confirmed by Naughty Dog that the player will take control of Joel, while Ellie will be controlled by the AI. The game will involve both gunfighting and melee combat and it will also have a cover system. Unlike Uncharted, the players will have to find health packs to recover health. In the first two trailers two types of enemies can be seen: The Infected - former humans who were infected by the virus, and The Survivors - other humans that are not infected by the virus but still hostile towards Joel and Ellie for reasons unknown.
At Sony’s Press Conference at E3 2012 the first game play of the game was shown, receiving huge praise from spectators. The game play shows you playing as Joel trying to get to a bridge. The player brings Joel and Ellie into a flooded hotel where they hear other people. When the other people are heard Joel’s ammo and health finally appear showing four bullets in his revolver, and he and Ellie quickly go into cover mode. A violent fight soon ensues taking the player through several areas of the hotel - showing the different styles of fighting and weaponry in the game. The fighting gameplay shows Joel putting a man in the sleeper hold, some hand-to-hand combat, and the aiming system for a pistol and shotgun. The AI in the game was shown for the human survivors, with several enemies using cover and one enemy recognizing the sound of an empty clip. An inventory system was also demonstrated, in which Joel creates a Molotov cocktail. Joel's limited number of rounds also suggests that supplies will be limited, a typical mechanic in the end-of-the-world genre of games.
For Ellie, it shows her assisting Joel when needed such as distracting a man by yelling at him and throwing a brick at him when Joel’s out of rounds. In another scene, Ellie stabs a man in the back when he jumps Joel, allowing Joel to free himself. Ellie’s health was not shown or noted in the demo, so it is unknown as to whether or not she will need to be healed when she is injured.
