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 U.S., 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.
There was no thread minus the locked one, but I decided to create one since the game is out next week. I have been excited for this game since the reveal because it was different compared to Naughty Dog's previous works. I have always been a fan of the post apocalyptic scenario and I was curious and excited to see how Naughty dog will tackle it. The game has been looking great so far and this looks like a must buy for anyone that loves single player games with a good story and characters. The game is using a modified and tweaked engine from the Uncharted series since it looks so similar. It does have a survival element to it since you have to salvage and hunt for items. You can even craft items such as a molotov.
The game has been receiving a lot of positive reviews lately. On average it's getting around the 9.5 to 10 out of 10 score. It is another contender for the Game of the Year award along with BioShock Infinite. Here is a link to NeoGAF's thread with compiled information.
Those review scores are pretty insane. Seems like there are a lot of good PS3 exclusive games out there or coming up. Too bad I dont have the money to get one

Most PS3 exclusives have always been very good such as the Uncharted series, Little Big Planet series, and Journey, along with other good titles such as inFamous, God of War, Yakuza series, etc. Xbox has some good ones too, but only if you're into shooters like Halo and Gears of War.
I was going to wait for the next gen, but maybe I should cancel xbox live, trade it and my games in for a PS3 and this. Then I can also have a blu-ray player finally. I mean this looks amazing, the other exclusives look great and GT6 is going to be on PS3 and not PS4.
I saw a gameplay trailer for this game and i have to say the few minutes of footage i saw looked really scripted and they we're trying to play it off as not (fight scene involving you about to get shot and the girl whacking him with a brick in slow-mo or something like it, everyone cheered like little girls)
Looks like another (albeit well-made) one of the same 3rd person adventure games on rails.
Big reason i picked the Ps3 over the Xbox360 are exclusives like this ( not a fan of the Xbox exclusives ). I'm probably going to wait a little bit when the price goes down a little bit . Which shouldn't take too long .

With some luck you can pick up a used one for relativly cheap on Ebay with some patience . ( I picked up a back then pretty new Slim for ~120€ two years ago ) Just have to invest a little time and well finger crossing. I personally think it should be realistic to get one below one hundred bucks with some time invested into scouting through Ebay .

Shit i'll sell mine with the ~15 games and 2 controllers for like 120 :-D
Looks like it will be a good game. However whether or not it is a great game, to me, will depend on how scripted it is. Hard to tell just watching these short videos as it could go either way. However it should be very good at the least, like an Uncharted with less annoying characters and more gritty.
Also, the main guy (Joel) looks A LOT like Hawke from DA2.

The chick (in some angles) also looks like Ellen Page. A game where you can kill people with Ellen Page? Fuck yes.

What's the game coming out that is the spiritual sequel to Heavy Rain? The one that has Ellen Page as the main character. THAT'S a game I'm so fucking pumped to get. For your exact reasoning. Plus... well... Heavy Rain was fuckin' incredible.
