NEWS: The Last of Us Coming to PS4

Perhaps Naughty Dog's most celebrated game is heading for a PS4 release.

PlayStation spokesperson Sercan Sulan has stated there will be an eventual PS4 release of the highly acclaimed post-apocalyptic game; The Last of Us.

The news was brought to attention through Multiplayer during a video presentation, however Sulan is Turkish - thankfully IGN managed to translate key points:

"There is no information about a new The Last of Us game but I can share this knowledge; as of this summer, The Last of Us will be on the PS4. Both on PSN and physically."

"The PS4 version will also include the DLC so you will be able to play 'Left Behind' as well."

Since its release, The Last of Us has played host to a range of nominations and awards - more recently it was awarded best action & adventure as well as best overall game at the BAFTA Games Awards 2014.

NEWS: The Last of Us Reaches 6 Million Sales

The highly acclaimed Naughty Dog title has reached an impressive sales milestone.

Community Strategist of Naughty Dog, Eric Monacelli, has revealed through the EU PlayStation blog that The Last of Us has surpassed 6 million sales, which should come as no surprise considering the amount of critical praise and rewards the title has received since launch.

More recently, the game took home five awards at the BAFTA Games Awards 2014, including winner of best action & adventure, best game, best story, among others.

The recently released story-based DLC; Left Behind, has also reached a significant accomplishment, making its way to the ranks of highest rated PS3 downloadable content of all time.

NEWS: BAFTA Games Awards 2014 Winners

Unsuprisingly, The Last of Us won most of the awards, whilst titles such as Grand Theft Auto V and Tearaway also took up some of the limelight.

The Last of Us continues to win even more awards, racking up a total of five at the 2014 BAFTA Games Awards - other highlights include developer Rockstar receiving the BAFTA Fellowship, which was presented by Metal Gear creator; Hideo Kojima.

NEWS: The Last of Us Movie Will Be An Adaptation

Naughty Dog has confirmed The Last of Us movie will be an adapation of the game's narrative.

After the recent announcement of an official The Last of Us movie, it has now been confirmed the narrative will be an adaptation of the story seen in the game. It was Naughty Dog's very own Neil Druckmann, who is also responsible for creating The Last of Us.

IGN spoke with Druckmann at the BAFTA Game Awards, saying:

"It's an adaptation of the story of The Last of Us."

"As far as where we go and how we make it fit into a film, how it takes into account the unique properties of film... we're not sure yet. We're only scratching the surface."

What we currently know is that Druckmann will be writing the script, whilst other talents working on the project include Naughty Dog's co-presidents Evan Wells and Christopher Balestra, game director Bruce Straley, and Spider-Man director Sam Raimi.

NEWS: The Last of Us Movie Confirmed

Sony are to work on an official movie, which is to be distributed through the company's own film production company; Screen Gems.

The online magazine Deadline, dedicated to the latest goings-on within the film industry, has posted details regarding The Last of Us movie. It appears numerous Naughty Dog employees are to play important roles in the creative process.

Neil Druckmann, Naughty Dog's creative director is to write the script, whilst co-presidents Evan Wells, Christopher Balestra, and game director Bruce Straley are to be involved as well.

Sam Raimi, director of the Spider-Man and The Evil Dead movies is to lend a hand, although it's not yet clear exactly what his role will be. Raimi's own production company, Ghost House Pictures, is also attached to the project.

A logline has been provided, saying:

"Hardened survivor Joel teams with young and capable companion Ellie to journey through a radically transformed world some 20 years after an infectious pandemic ravages humanity. The game has won numerous awards and has been a big seller since its release last summer."

I'm sure most would agree Dylan McDermott (American Horror Story and Hostage) could totally play the role of Joel....

NEWS: Naughty Dog Release The Last of Us Documentary

Available in North America to watch free of charge at Amazon, viewers will be treated with an in-depth insiders perspective on the development process of creating such a highly acclaimed game.

Monacelli goes on to reassure those living outside the US - "Grounded will be coming to the PlayStation YouTube channel very soon."
