You might have guessed that the Sony Exclusive “The Last of Us” was going to be about an Apocalypse of some sort, even by watching this teaser video for the VGA’s. Two new screenshots have come out that doesn’t break that impression, one shot shows a forest, with the view pointed up into the sun, and the second, above, pictures a ruined newspaper stand talking about the President addressing a broken nation as “millions more are feared dead or infected,” and quarantines breaking in New Mexico while martial law is declared in England.
In short, the world is packed nicely into a handbasket, with some sort of infectious disease filling out the customs-required shipping forms to a final destination of Hell, and while we’ve seen the world end lots of times before, but maybe The Last of Us has an artsy new spin on it… Or be another Dead Nation. We’ll likely find out more this weekend at Saturday’s Spike Video Game awards, or as the site says, on 12/10/11. Get those surgical masks ready, people.
