I watched all the last of us grounded the behind the scenes the alternate ending and I gotta agree I think Neil was the most important person in the Last of Us how he organized all and made this beautiful game he deserves full recognition
I’ve finally convinced my family to think of it like a tv show, so my brother is going to play through it for the first time and my parents and I are going to watch. I may not be able to experience it fresh again, but at least Ican share it with them and appreciate their reactions
As much as I'd love to see him in film, you can't deny that there's certain nuances that are best introduced over 20+ hours of interaction with the story. I'd much rather have a game that I can spend tens or hundreds of hours falling in love with than a film thats 2 and a half hours at most.
AKABoondock19 If I saw that, I would've corrected that myself, but my phone has a tendency to repeat a word twice sometimes. Anyways doesn't this game qualify for two bests haha 👍
He's worked at Naughty Dog a long time, just not as a director. He learned on the job and learned quick. Until Uncharted, no one there was directing performance captures.
Ashley Johnson has by far done the best female VO, and sidekick as she put it. She did an amazing job. So good in fact, I felt emotional in many scenes, almost like it was actually happening for real. Amazingly organic performances, and thank you everyone at Naughty Dog for allowing opinions and thoughts of others to incorporate within your game. I wish I could help outNaughty Dog with realism, my ultimate want in a videogame. Naughty Dog does a great job, almost flawless, but I feel I could add to that. Especially for firearms, combat, anything nature, human body's maximum limits, human behaviour, animal behaviour and a close eye for details on certain things. Naughty Dog is by far the best company for consistently making 10/10 games and somehow manages to always improve upon every release. Congrats Naughty Dog
Has anyone ever asked Neil how he actually first envisioned Ellie and Joel without the actors influence? That's just something really interesting to me. I think I remember him saying Joel and Tess' relationship was a lot different and Joel didn't really like her but that's all I remember ever hearing.
Night Frost apparently originally Joel was actually going to betray Tess and Tess would be the main villain in the game, chasing both Joel and Ellie across the country. Idk much more than that, but there’s some concept art about it I think
After watching dozens of interviews over the past six years, this is a cool one to see because of how new it still was to them. You can tell they haven’t told the stories a thousand times. To their credit, just last week during the final episode of the Retro Replay Definitive Playthrough, their reflections on making it were full of new insights. But here, he couldn’t spoil Sara’s death - anymore they have to mine deeper with each retelling to keep it fresh.
This game is awesome in every aspect; Acting, Graphics, Facial movements, Music, Sound effects, Cutscenes, Bonding between the main characters, Raining effects( especially in the mini-truck scene), Shadow effects, Tiny details, Underwater scenes, Enemy's reactions etc. It feels completely real. It's amazing. How can they do this so well?
Men, I remember watching her in "What Women Want" and when I read that she's Ellie's voice I was amazed! Maybe I wouldn't guessed it not even in a million years.
guys PLEASE don't HATE ellie for swearing or saying bad words.it's just a game (if don't like..then buzz off!) and that it would suppose to be and makes the game...eerrrr...not lame. what if you are in a stressfull situation..I bet you swore a lot than ellie.peaceout!love tis game.just play and have fun.
Are people whining over Ellie saying bad words?? oO I thought it fited right in the game, because in the real world, if something happen like this, people sure as hell wont stay like a gentleman...
Phillip Cantu I recognised her from the E3 Demo, when it comte to Ellie shout out during the elevator scene. "She sound familiar, i heard her voice from somewhere, some movie or rather... a cartoon". And the winner is... Gwen Tennyson, That how i know TLoU.... through a voice. Interestingly, i would like to see how Gwen's VA doing in TLoU which a complete opposite of Ben 10. That being said, true, her voice is easily recognisable if she didn't go through a voice changer.
Actually, according to PlaystationLifestyle, the scene is Sarah's death, where the author writes: ''Continuing with the prologue, Neil talked about just how difficult the scene was for Troy Baker (Joel) and Hana Hayes (Joel’s daughter), especially when they had to do a re-shoot''
throughout the whole game i felt the connection between elli and joel and it felt so real. I would love it if yall made a number 2. but it should be on xbox 360 and pc this time but i really enjoyed this game and please make a number 2!!!
We also have no idea what Marlene or anything else said to Ellie between when the Fireflies found her and when she's put under for surgery, plus she'd know she was being prepped for surgery before she was put under as well.
Ashley Johnson's the best actor I have ever seen in a video game, she made me feel as if Ellie was real. I have never cared for characters as much as her and Joel, amazing game.
THE LAST OF US shows that when you take the VERY BEST CREATIVE MINDS an industry has to offer, put them all together in one place, (at Naughty Dog) something Amazing can happen!, every aspect of this game from the Story, to Music, to Graphics Acting, Directing, etc, is truly SUPERB, It has touched the hearts and souls of thousands that have played it,( me included), it is the most beautiful game I have ever played, and I am so happy It was produced in my lifetime, it is PURE GENIUS! THE BIGGEST THANK YOU to EVERYONE at NAUGHTY DOG for creating this experience- I LOVE YOU ALL..
I played thru it 2 times, and I still feel like playing it again. This game is so freakin' amazing you just want to replay it over and over to feel all those emotions over and over again. Plus, they'll be releasing a single player DLC soon, and I'm sure it'll be as great as the game.
Neil Druckmann is a genius. This is his debut!!?? A word of caution though, some people peak at the beginning then lose that energy. The usual suspects film comes to mind with Brian Singer who made one of my favourite if not my favourite films of all time. Then went on to make so-so Hollywood spectaculars that I wouldn't watch twice. I just hope he can keep the spark and he'll be a gaming legend if he isn't all ready with this brilliant, brilliant game.
silly me...i just realized it's Chrissy Seaver (Ashley Johnson) from Growing Pains doing Ellie's voice. she also had a couple of scenes in The Avengers...during the city battle where Captain America saves her or something like that.
Funny, because in every interview I've seen with Druckmann and Straley they've said, literally, the complete opposite. Joel and Ellie's journey is over, their story has been told. Current speculation (based on how they worded a response asking about it) is that the SP DLC will revolve around the story of Ish and the Sewer Community survivors we learn about just after the escape from Pittsburgh.
For a second there i couldn't hear Ashley talking anymore. Only heard Ellie talking 10 years from now with civilization getting back on its feet and Ellie is remembering Joel
Registering domains for sequels that may or may not ever exist is common practice. EA holds the domains for Battlefield from 1 to 20. Warner Bros has registered like 15 different variations on Arkham Universe domains.
5:21 LMAO Neil with short hair, man is that a sight to see! 8:12 was my reaction to not getting a release date for TLOU2. Man I love this game so much! Ashley's really pretty :)
I have NEVER been this emotionally attached to a video game before. The Last of Us is the best game I have ever played. It feels like Ellie and Joel are family and I am dying to know what happens to them after the final scene. Please make a sequel. Please.
I'm writing this on July 5th and I just want to say thank you for all the emotion and physical draining of me to try and keep this relationship going between Joel and Ellie and also keep them alive it is by far the best game I have ever played in my entire life and I play up to 60-80 games a year the relationship between the two characters was so strong if I turned around and didn't see Ellie I would get worried but if I turned back she would be there I would be relieved. Naughty Dog 4 Evva LOU2
Can't believe this was Neil Druckmann's first time directing. The story was incredibly moving.
+Chris Kim he worked extensively under Amy Hennig AND majored in writing but yeah I agree.
I watched all the last of us grounded the behind the scenes the alternate ending and I gotta agree I think Neil was the most important person in the Last of Us how he organized all and made this beautiful game he deserves full recognition
same!!
hUgO6191 Bruce as well
@@DragONheart27X He's a Computer Science major.
when i hear Ellie's voice i enter some form of weird over protective father mode.
Yup, but for me its her realistic scream that drives my fatherly rage.
Yes. I'm not the only person who feels this way
You not alone 😎!
That scene with the hunters when she gets slapped still makes me rage out every time.
Bein' Ian Yeah when they arrive to Pittsburgh
I just keep picturing her as Ellie, she played Ellie beautifully.
I wish I could travel back in time so I can play The Last of Us for the first time again :) best game ever
I've thought literally the exact same thing.
NGHTMR_XO98 Sameee
Omg…same wish for me!!!!!!
Not the best game of all time but it is definitely in the top 5 best of all time
I’ve finally convinced my family to think of it like a tv show, so my brother is going to play through it for the first time and my parents and I are going to watch. I may not be able to experience it fresh again, but at least Ican share it with them and appreciate their reactions
The first time he's ever directed and he makes this?!? My god, he needs to be making films
He's writing the screenplay for the movie. That's literally all the info we have on the movie.
As much as I'd love to see him in film, you can't deny that there's certain nuances that are best introduced over 20+ hours of interaction with the story. I'd much rather have a game that I can spend tens or hundreds of hours falling in love with than a film thats 2 and a half hours at most.
Even by listening to the theme in the background gives me chills....
Same.
Still one the best best cinematic games out there.
*the best
AKABoondock19 If I saw that, I would've corrected that myself, but my phone has a tendency to repeat a word twice sometimes.
Anyways doesn't this game qualify for two bests haha 👍
Boondock *one of
TheBanana Man *The best
This game, is so beautiful
Watching Hanif And i Think you're waiting the part 2 huh?😂
It's his directorial debut and he won game of the year? Blimey give him a 5 year contract!
He's worked at Naughty Dog a long time, just not as a director. He learned on the job and learned quick. Until Uncharted, no one there was directing performance captures.
I was like : "isn't she the lady who is saved by Captain America in the Avengers ?"
She IS.
She is! :)

How about tess being able to lift joel lol.
Has anyone ever asked Neil how he actually first envisioned Ellie and Joel without the actors influence? That's just something really interesting to me. I think I remember him saying Joel and Tess' relationship was a lot different and Joel didn't really like her but that's all I remember ever hearing.
i’m very late, but apparently ellie was supposed to be a lot more passive.
Yes, thank god they were allowed to have their input and everything ended up the way it did.
Night Frost apparently originally Joel was actually going to betray Tess and Tess would be the main villain in the game, chasing both Joel and Ellie across the country. Idk much more than that, but there’s some concept art about it I think
GraffitiTurtle yes that was supposed to be the actual game .
Dude whenever I hear her voice, I can't help but remember Ellie.
Niel Druckman looks like Rick Grimes
Oh my gosh he does lol
hahaha thats tru
Sebastian Valle i guess im not the only one who notice and hes more like Israeli rick rimes look alike.
Troy is the new Nolan North. XD
when you think about it, nolan north is an assassin,adventurer, deadpool, cannibal Turtle-ninja. i think it is difficult to top that
***** yeah, true ,true

Great game, but Troy baker honestly shocked me! I expected the actor to actually be around Joel's age.
Check him out doing the Joker. He's really freaking good
Oh I bet! o.o His voice is amazing! >.< I'll check it out.
+xFrigoreluna He's also Booker Dewitt in Bioshock Infinite.
Tell me about it! It's crazy!
Naughty Dog are awesome they make the best games.
This aged poorly
El Papa Francisco They Did at the time. 7 years is pretty good tbh
@@Alpha-bt9bh Well, in that time, Valve, Rockstar and Bthesda were far better (Gameplay and history wise)
@@facundoriquelme3731 it didn't
Neil looks like Rick Grimes in this video 😂

How can they do this so well?
Best game sequel ever made
you guys did a amazing job, that is the best game i ever played. that game got to me like if i was watching a good movie but i was playing game
yes, but the ending... Lets just say plain
They tried to make it more realistic in a way. Thats why. But the ending was perfect for me.
Stang Red what? The ending was perfect.
Yep
Best game ever hands down
MIssed oppurtunity: After Ellie learned how to whistle, when you got to play as her you could use that as a lure.
I'm in love with her voice
I'm excited for the new sequel.
Grizzly Dispute We have got it lol
Im excited for the third one
best game ever
Damn, I didn't know Rick Grimes was in this interview.
Ashley is amazing!
Best game ever...:D waiting for the sequel.
fre d and there we go. We are getting a sequel!
Best game ever hands down
Men, I remember watching her in "What Women Want" and when I read that she's Ellie's voice I was amazed!
Maybe I wouldn't guessed it not even in a million years.
ashley and neil are absolute real life heroes in my eyes love their vision and creativity for the last of us and always will ❤️💙

Are people whining over Ellie saying bad words?? oO I thought it fited right in the game, because in the real world, if something happen like this, people sure as hell wont stay like a gentleman...
***** Exactly, people should stop getting butt hurt about some bad words.
People complaining about that know nothing about kids. I'm a freshman in highschool and I even say stuff worse than ellie! People need to grow up.
If you listen to her voice, she almost does sound like Ellie.
She voiced her, of course she will sound like Ellie.
Strykerx1x Well, obviously, but I'm talking about when she's not trying to do her voice.
Mhm.
Phillip Cantu I recognised her from the E3 Demo, when it comte to Ellie shout out during the elevator scene. "She sound familiar, i heard her voice from somewhere, some movie or rather... a cartoon".

cause the sound effects
What is the deal with the couch? It's sitting at two different angles... what is happening behind Ashley's head?
I really hope they make a sequel
She is so beautiful oh my god
amy hennig still deserves credit, she was neils like...mentor/ co-writer
Actually, according to PlaystationLifestyle, the scene is Sarah's death, where the author writes: ''Continuing with the prologue, Neil talked about just how difficult the scene was for Troy Baker (Joel) and Hana Hayes (Joel’s daughter), especially when they had to do a re-shoot''
Best Game ever
Shit, Troy is taller than I thought he was.
hazza3 how tall is he?
Thomas LC 1m91
The way Troy screams "It is over Tess!" Has so much emotion in that line that I get goosebumps just hearing it.
Ellie...still one of the best female characters EVER
Ikr
throughout the whole game i felt the connection between elli and joel and it felt so real. I would love it if yall made a number 2. but it should be on xbox 360 and pc this time but i really enjoyed this game and please make a number 2!!!
This game made Neil a superstar in the gaming world, best story and best gameplay.
We also have no idea what Marlene or anything else said to Ellie between when the Fireflies found her and when she's put under for surgery, plus she'd know she was being prepped for surgery before she was put under as well.
This was before the PS4 was released. How time flies...
The last of us is the most of my fav game
Ashley Johnson is my idol bro i want that job when i grow up
Ashley Johnson's the best actor I have ever seen in a video game, she made me feel as if Ellie was real. I have never cared for characters as much as her and Joel, amazing game.
The voice acting in this game is some of the strongest performances I´ve ever seen in a videogame before.

Oh! Troy was Snow on FF13. Yeah... he really does look like him, and the voice matches up too.
Because of Ashley's improvisation this feels like most realistic game ever
Guys actualy Nolan North (Who played Nathan Drake) he played also David from the last of us.
He also voices Deadpool
+Harriet Thorn and desmond miles
ashely is ellie in real life
Never been more into a game than this. I played this game 7 hours straight.
The thing that is funny is Ashley Johnson voiced Gretchen from Recess and you can hear that in Ellie
Neil Druckmann is a genius. This is his debut!!??
A word of caution though, some people peak at the beginning then lose that energy.
The usual suspects film comes to mind with Brian Singer who made one of my favourite if not my favourite films of all time. Then went on to make so-so Hollywood spectaculars that I wouldn't watch twice.
I just hope he can keep the spark and he'll be a gaming legend if he isn't all ready with this brilliant, brilliant game.
its clear im in love with ashley =)
She learned to whistle while clickers and hunters were everywhere :D
Thanks for mentioning the documentary here, it's a great watch.
Its Neil's first game? and its such a MASTERPIECE? God! this man has the potential to get a EVERY directing award possible!
Troy Baker did the MW2 Navy Seal Voices and the MW3 Delta Squad Voices.
silly me...i just realized it's Chrissy Seaver (Ashley Johnson) from Growing Pains doing Ellie's voice. she also had a couple of scenes in The Avengers...during the city battle where Captain America saves her or something like that.

I found myself not letting her out of my sight because I cared about her so much... Beautiful game and story... Best I have ever played.
I don't understand lot of things because I'm french and I'm not really good in english ^^ but listening the voice of Ellie again is just fantastic :D
If you only listen to the audio, you can imagine Ellie talking on that couch
For a second there i couldn't hear Ashley talking anymore. Only heard Ellie talking 10 years from now with civilization getting back on its feet and Ellie is remembering Joel

holy shit troy baker was Joel? He pulled off that character so well i didn't even realize he was also Booker.
Already pre-ordered it. Can't wait to play.
If this was Neil's director debut then he'll live to accomplish great things in years to come:-)
troy baker is also doing the voice for the main character in infamous second son
Druckmann is a developing genius.
I like her voice
If I was acting along side Troy Baker, I'd randomly yell... "Booker catch!"
That was really really good video/interview very good insight from the both of them. Neil made some good points.
All the characters where made to look like their mocap/voice actors. That way the voice goes more naturally with their looks.
5:21 LMAO Neil with short hair, man is that a sight to see! 8:12 was my reaction to not getting a release date for TLOU2. Man I love this game so much! Ashley's really pretty :)
For me this is the best video game ever!
Lauren May For sure it is!
Best best best game ever!
My mind. Just got blown. I REALLY need to get this game now. Bring me the game, wipe away the debt.
Neil Druckmann said in a different interview that Ellie and Joel's journey is not yet over.
they clownin on my boy troy lol. dude is siiiik. Neil Druckmann sound like a master director also.
Neil Druckmann is a fucking genius. Man is gonna have a long and brilliant career in front of him.
Ellie is the only AI that has ever actually helped me during fighting sequences. She's saved my ass multiple times especially on grounded difficulty.
the scene Neil was talking abt that they did 20 takes is the scene where Joel's daughter died in the beginning
Rahul Sonaghela how could you possibly know that though?
@@hard_candy it was mentioned in another interview with Troy.
I have NEVER been this emotionally attached to a video game before. The Last of Us is the best game I have ever played. It feels like Ellie and Joel are family and I am dying to know what happens to them after the final scene. Please make a sequel. Please.
Thank you for the information that I already knew.
Man.. This game is so great, I just really hope they make part 2. .

The voice of Yuri from Tales of Vesperia too. Yep, he's got JRPG roots.
One of the greatest entertainment experiences I've ever had.
I am SO glad the hud changed in the final product
yeah he's like the new nolan north but more talented and can change his voice alot. i think he's one of the best voice actors maybe the best
