Ashley didn't have a clue how much of a legend she would become after the game came out lol. Troy and Ashley gave the best voice acting performances in video game history with this game.
I've played a lot of games and well this is the best by far , not only because of the game-play but coz of the story and the way it hits you . It keeps you so involved . As a father I could completely relate to Joel and how he was feeling initially and then warming up to Ellie as the story went on . I have a daughter and so many times in the game I found my self crying ... I mean its a game .. a game made me cry ... it has never happened before or since.... If you havent played the game then you owe it to yourself to go through this . Its an unbelievably engaging experience.I think the creative director is an absolute genius to give the gaming community something like this. This game has set the bar so high that it might never be reached but atleast now every gaming company is thinking of giving the story any notion of importance.
I was wondering why Ashley looked/sounded so familiar ... she's that girl who played the waitress in the Avengers. The one who has some interaction with Captain America.
I played this and I have never cried so much in my life. I got so attached to Joel and Ellie and i was so protective over ellie and joel and I felt like they were my friends i cried for a week days after the game ended
I really got close to these characters in this game, more then any other game around. Elle and Joel are just so real and likable its hard or impossible not to fall in love with them and connect with the. I truly do love this game though one of the best I ever played. I didn't have a problem with any of it. I just want more!!!
I just finished it as well. Hollywood should be ashamed. I was more invested in the characters and story in the first 15 minutes then in entire 2 hour zombie movies. And im a huge zombie fan. I could not have been happier with this game.
Games like 'Shadow of the Colossus' and 'Journey' tease the existence of a dormant power within video games. 'Journey' was the most enlightening experience I've ever had with entertainment.
Bullshit. I like conversations with developers. People just don't seem to understand how much work it is to create content for a YT channel, and to set up an interview with Neil and Ashley from TLOU is a great achievement. Thanks for the upload.
That was to reiterate what you said - you can still be immersed in something that isn't a video game, like a great film or play. Interactivity is key to a video game being a video game but it hasn't, by default, made them more immersive than the best of any other art form.
OMFG I can not wait for this week to end so i can finally play this game i have been following for the past 2 years. I have never been so excited for a game.
I actually got a chance to play The Last of Us back in April 2018, and my gosh, did I loved it. Not only are the meaning in the game perfectly fitting for what we are in this world, but the characters are just perfect. I have heard of the game before, but I never even got a chance to play it because my mother was very concerned by the amount of violence and swearing in the game, and as a result, she was pretty much unsure whether or not she would let me play the game. On the other hand, after getting my hands on the PlayStation 4 and the game itself (along with other games I love), I played it all the way through while being watched by my mother and my eldest sister, who are keeping track of all swear words that my family and I are strictly forbidden to use and gory violence presented. Ellie is just one character I could not get off of my mind because I never once heard of her when I was playing another one of the games I absolutely love and have a passion about, Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games when Petra was presented. As a result, I wanted to experience it myself, and then again, my mother would not let me get the game due to her concerns of the game. In fact, I knew I wanted to see what Ashley Johnson has done even before Minecraft: Story Mode was released in 2015, which she voiced Petra, a redhead female warrior and one of Jesse's best friends. As I mentioned before, I was playing The Last of Us, and I very much enjoyed the game, and Katie was around to support me during my playthrough, and she did, in fact, liked it as well, and as a result of both of us liking the game, we rated it a 95% while my mother was still neutral about it. I had to handle a lot of violence, and since the game is rated M and not child-friendly, I had to have all of my younger siblings get out of my bedroom until I finished playing the game. Ellie is one character we all can relate to, as she has been through a lot, and I felt really bad for her. She was one of these characters I never got to know of until I was finally mature enough to play it. Ashley Johnson did a fantastic job protraying as Ellie, and I still cannot thank Naughty Dog enough for finally allowing me to see what the game was like and what we all can experience. :)
Alright, well I said video games are a more complex storytelling platform because the audience drives the visuals, as opposed to just watching them or reading and imagining them; so there are more elements to take into consideration when trying to keep everything of a piece. That in itself may mean that they have the potential to do more, in terms of being culturally relevant, but that's not to say that they've out performed the best film or book even. Yet.
Did anyone else get a sickening feeling that either Joule or Ellie die at the end of the game? Neil said he had people crying at the end because they've never been that attached to a character but people don't usually say that just because a game ends, no matter how attached they were to one character. I didn't cry at the end of uncharted, though I was attached to Drake, but I might have if he died. It's obvious that someone gets killed but I'm just hoping its neither Joule nor Ellie.
Well I guess I mean artistic potency then: You said art is in the creative impulse, so though games seem more artistic because of our level of interaction with the format, they're not; that feature has been proven unnecessary for immersion. I said video games still having more complexity to their platform than books and films [and theatre] means that there's more to exploit; and that must make for more artistic potency because you're able to give more of yourself to it as a result ...
All art forms are as artistic as each other ... but in the way you probably mean - yes. Yes I am. Both you and I know that it's seldom proven but, as far as I know, they're capable of more.
There also weren't any plot holes. Every big movie that comes out nowadays seems to have huge plot holes everywhere, yet somehow a video game that has more than just the story to worry about does it with no issues?
All art forms are as artistic as each other ... but in the way you probably mean - yes. Yes I am. Both you and I know that it's seldom proven but, as far as I know, they're capable of more. P.S. when I tried to post this I got an "Error. Try again" lol
They shouldn't be too ashamed in that regard, games have a leg up when it comes to that sort of thing. I'm more impressed with its conclusion and how cleanly every action, plot point and plot beat leads up to it - but it's not mind blowing, it's just proper storytelling, and Hollywood falls short of it almost ALL the time while being the simpler storytelling platform of the two. THAT'S shameful.
Don't read if you haven't finished Bioshock Infinite 14:40 GOD FUCKING DAMNIT I don't wanna see the characters I get so attached to (which I sure will) be killed or some shit like that. After Bioshock Infinite I couldn't bare another sad ending for beloved characters.
Yeah he doesn't look like the most fit guy, but he lets the people talk and give them room to explain the game, unlike some interviews where they would cut in too much.
I got this the day of and I love it. I am now a Naughty Dog full fan. But this game is so sad and depressing. When there is just a light of joy....it is lost. I especially hate when Ellie is stuck in the burning building with that sicko. And the ending was very different. But a very good game 10/10 for sure!
I knew almost nothing about The Last of Us besides the fact that I remember liking the trailer. It wasn't until halfway into the game that I looked it up and found out it wasn't Ellen Page... I facepalmed too. I mean, she even sounds like Ellen Page.
I honestly would say if I was Ellie and I had been coughed like that to the pole I would've kept beating the guy after I escaped..or at least spat on him LOL

Ashley didn't have a clue how much of a legend she would become after the game came out lol. Troy and Ashley gave the best voice acting performances in video game history with this game.
Such a privilege getting this interview.
You are so lucky to have met and interview them. You have to bring them back for part 2 that would be cool.
I'd love that!
I can only hear her as Ellie now!! XD
Funny. I kept picturing Ashley when playing because the interview was before the game was out.
I have never been so attached to a character before :')
That is a very good sign for Naughty Dog I think. Have you played the DLC?
Yup i played the DLC, i love it except I felt it was too short. It was RM45 in my country which is alot of money.
How long did it take you?
about 2-3 hours approximately.
That is quick. Eek!
Omg she should make audio books or do more video games or something that voice is so awesome
Good point! We are looking forward to the DLC featuring Ellie's backstory.
I've played a lot of games and well this is the best by far , not only because of the game-play but coz of the story and the way it hits you . It keeps you so involved .

I CRIED SO HARD WHEN THIS GAME ENDED I FELT LIKE I LOST 2 GOOD FRIENDS
I played this and I have never cried so much in my life. I got so attached to Joel and Ellie and i was so protective over ellie and joel and I felt like they were my friends i cried for a week days after the game ended
just finished it 5 minutes ago. I don't know what to do with my life anymore.
I found the interviewer perfectly friendly and professional.
Anyone else hear distant screaming in the backround? Where the hell are they?
Beyond the city wall.
Torture house of course. Duh!
I really got close to these characters in this game, more then any other game around. Elle and Joel are just so real and likable its hard or impossible not to fall in love with them and connect with the. I truly do love this game though one of the best I ever played.

thanks for the comment. Nice to get your feedback.

AH I HEAR ELLIE BUT I SEE ASHLEY WHAT DO I DO
Bullshit. I like conversations with developers. People just don't seem to understand how much work it is to create content for a YT channel, and to set up an interview with Neil and Ashley from TLOU is a great achievement.

OMFG I can not wait for this week to end so i can finally play this game i have been following for the past 2 years. I have never been so excited for a game.
By letting another person do the job. Someone who's less awkward, more charismatic and who can actually carry a conversation when needed.
just hearing Ellie's voice.. omg I just can't..I can just close my eyes and imagine ellie sitting there. I love her voice so much xD
her voice is GOLDEN
PRAISE THE LORD MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED
I really wish they would make a film of this!! :P
I like how the room back ground is decorated like the Last of us
WARNING: Playing this game will make you extremely sad when it's finished.
You will sit in your room and go, 'What now'? XD

XD I've watched playthroughs repeatedly after. Never got tired of it.
Exactly how i felt.. I miss Joel and Ellie. I want a sequel now!
2019?
I think I played this game 10 times at least
We're still playing it too. Just started a run through with my daughter.
Same, I felt depressed when I finished the game as I knew that was it. No more Joel and Ellie.:(
"No cross overs with the uncharted guys" LIES!!!!! ALL LIES!! Nolan North is in it!
yea lol i caught that too. tryin to keep it a surprise.
Great interview - awesome job!
Whoa what? I think this should be on AdultGamerTV
3 and a half years to make the first... Can't wait for 2nd, seriously... I WANT IT NOW :)
Families often have adults in them too. :)

Yet.
Ellie is my favorite character so far
you can tell they didn't want to give away Nolan being in it
That's exactly how I felt! In fact, "what now?" is exactly what I asked myself.
... and more CAN be given back to you as a consequence.
It was used for a trailer.
Ellie is such a badass.

What if the guy who directed the Hunger Games directed it? He did a pretty good job, garnering an 85% at RottenTomatoes.
The acting is what made this game.
;A; They were our family!!
And I heard that a sequel and a 3rd part had websites already registered. 8D
did no one come here for gortys?
Beautiful girl, great game, seriously insanely talented developer
That's not very fair. I thought the interviewer was perfectly good.
Fir me it feels like resident evil
and the zombie epidemic is like other zombie games
Yup, you got that right...What about play it after and after and after and after?...
Same way Stereoscopic 3D works in THEORY but has always yielded disastrous results because no one understands the technology well enough (not nearly).
I need a second one!!!!! I cannot stand it anymore.
You're in luck! Sequel incoming!
Well I guess I mean artistic potency then:

Three and a half years!!
The interview was fine. Ignore that commenter. And thank you for sharing this :)
There also weren't any plot holes. Every big movie that comes out nowadays seems to have huge plot holes everywhere, yet somehow a video game that has more than just the story to worry about does it with no issues?

Rick Grimes?
Don't read if you haven't finished Bioshock Infinite
14:40 GOD FUCKING DAMNIT I don't wanna see the characters I get so attached to (which I sure will) be killed or some shit like that. After Bioshock Infinite I couldn't bare another sad ending for beloved characters.
Yeah he doesn't look like the most fit guy, but he lets the people talk and give them room to explain the game, unlike some interviews where they would cut in too much.
I got this the day of and I love it.
I am now a Naughty Dog full fan.
But this game is so sad and depressing.
When there is just a light of joy....it is lost.
I especially hate when Ellie is stuck in the burning building with that sicko.
And the ending was very different.
But a very good game 10/10 for sure!
I knew almost nothing about The Last of Us besides the fact that I remember liking the trailer. It wasn't until halfway into the game that I looked it up and found out it wasn't Ellen Page... I facepalmed too. I mean, she even sounds like Ellen Page.
With out a doubt
Thanks for sharing but without a doubt about what?
Dang! How much hours do you do part of this in a week?
Isn't this a little girl from movie lineheart with van dame?
I love eliiy and i want see her in the last of us party 2
great game, i got attached. i hope there is a next one so we know what happened
Fantastic game Neil. Can't wait for lou2!!
very VERY true
Ellie's voice actor was HOT!! I hope there is a next sequel because I loved this game and I gotten attached to Ellie
I guess not but it's what I feel, sadly
He sounds like RPGminx
totally!
It is already a movie though
Josh Brolin looks 100 times more like Joel than Gerard Butler does XD
"Nolan sucks"
lol
How awkward is that question at about 14:00 in, "What would GROWN-UPS get out of this game?"? Jesus Christ...
Play it again ;)
WOAH!
Which is exactly what I did. ;u;
I agree. George A. Romero Doesn't have anything on Naughty Dog!
Yea you really do get attached to the character especially Ellie, at least for me. I'll just be counting down the days till the next sequel. =(
the last of us was a great game
video games have been putting hollywood to shame since mgs1 on playstation one.
I honestly would say if I was Ellie and I had been coughed like that to the pole I would've kept beating the guy after I escaped..or at least spat on him LOL
There parts on this not in the game.... Is there a video with cut scenes not in the avtual game
it’s from the teaser trailer
hollywood would just fuck it up, like they always do
do you have tumblr? because i think i saw you before
02:53 This wasn't in the game... What...
Is there an "interviewer code of honor" or something? Why do people have such high standards when it comes to interviewers on youtube?
The interviewer was fine! He's being a troll.
For The Hunger Games, I mean.
The game just came out give it some time before they make another one
And yet it's not really a zombie game after all is said and done. The zombies are more of the mcguffin than anything else.
it's not a zombie game
that's so fucking true
