PAX East '13: Last of Us

[quote][b]The Last of Us[/b] is an upcoming survival horror action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog for the PlayStation 3.[/quote] Plot summary/potential spoilers: [spoiler][quote]The story is set two decades after a cordyceps-type fungus has killed millions, with nature gradually retaking the abandoned cities and towns. The survivors are hemmed inside quarantine zones, completely under the heel of the United States military, with order and screening for any Infected being viciously maintained under martial law. Joel, a hardened black-marketeer within one of the quarantine zones, goes through an event which makes him promise an old friend that he will get a young, fourteen year old girl named Ellie, away from the harsh regime to a resistance group known as the Fireflies. They begin a journey through the USA, avoiding the Infected, humanoid creatures whose sole aim has become spreading the fungal infection. Joel and Ellie also have to avoid scavengers that survive outside the quarantine zones who see Joel and Ellie as their latest prey. Adding to their problems, the military is determined to find Ellie and bring her back under their power.[/quote] I'm thinking Ellie is immune because, why else would the military care about one little girl?[/spoiler] I'm pretty excited for this game. There are plenty of 'Er Meh Gerd, Zermbies' games out there I know, but this one sticks out to me. I love the Splinter Cell feel it has to it. I hate horror games but this survival horror feel it has to it draws me in. The video has roughly 11 minutes of game play (something I'm hoping to see from Destiny *nudge nudge wink wink*). In different game play video's it shows Joel, one of the main characters, getting killed quite often because an infected is taking a chunk of his neck out. It makes me curious as to how easy it is to die in the game. I love a challenge. I would not have bought Dark Souls if I didn't.
