The Last of Us was always intended to be a PS3 project, Naughty Dog has said.
By Matthew Reynolds
Game director Bruce Straley said that it was "never a question at all during development" to hold out for the PS4.
"We're taking a gamble [on] the number of players that are hungry for good stories, good characters and a good game," Straley told Digital Spy.
"It's the end of a life cycle, and we are coming out before the PS4, and there are some examples of games that have come out after next-gen consoles have been released and have done rather well.
"I think it just comes down to gambling on the idea that we've created something special and we believe in the adventure and the characters and the characters that we're delivering.
He added: "We think fans who have the PlayStation 3 at home are going to want to keep that around just a little bit longer to say, 'I'm ready for this experience'."
who is now the sole leader of Naughty Dog, “I promise you, we will not be ‘The Last of Us’ studio forever.” Numerous games, he said, are in the works, including “multiple single-player projects.
I know he has a celebrity like status but unless he's announcing his game soon idc what he has to say from this point on.
We need announcement something from him.
Kind of a weird interview. No substance, hardly any questions. It's almost like they forgot to post the whole thing or something.
Oh brother...... It's like a balloon filling with helium. He's got nothing new to say. Naughty Dog went from being a studio of numerous developers to being about him and what HE does. Bruce Straley was the co-creator of The Last of Us, and he left--I think for the same reason Christophe Balestra left and since then, Naughty Dog haven't been the same. PlayStation is incredibly woke, as all businesses seem to be these days, ignorant to what's really going on sacrificing the greater for peanuts, but I think they left because of the uprising political atmosphere. They knew there was nothing they could do about it and an attempt to try and combat it, in today's society would end them up in legal trouble so, they just left, what else can you do when the opposition behaves like a child, screams and yells louder than you want to in raged fits, and will throw lawsuits at you at whatever chance they can, but you don't play that way, so they left. And Naughty Dog hasn't been the same since.
Naughty Dog was huge at one time! They were the underdog that became the top dog but, the direction it's fine, just watch and wait. It's ego, and Druckmanns ego of thinking they're untouchable and can just coast along, will drop them rock bottom, in due time, they could see the same fate as Xbox's teams met. Fans will turn on Naughty Dog because A) Naughty Dog aren't producing, they're not what they once were.
B) Gamers ARE growing tired of the woke culture overtaking their lifetime hobby. They're just more silent about it, it's the quiet cool
He's a solid theatre arts person, but he's not a philosopher. Being good at one thing doesn't mean he's Descartes.
Sony should try and stay radio silence outside of hard reveals.
It’s painful to wait for any info at all, but it’s less painful than skimming an interview that avoids all details whatsoever.
Commit to radio silence, Sony. You can afford to leverage the trust in gaming output that you’ve cultivated.

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."
They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.
Same as with GT6, still supporting the PS3 even though the PS4 will be releasing by the end of the year.
Love you Naughty Dog !
What I love about this is sony is showing fans that even if u dont buy a ps4 at launch, they will continue to support the ps3 but also focus on ps4 & ps vita owners which they are doing now. Great job & I love u naughty dog & cant wait to play this masterpiece.
This is going to be the God of War 2 of PS3..
Best supported console I swear. By hook or by crook. Sony keeps the games coming
