The Last of Us: more info and screens

As is typical of exclusive-hounds, Game Informer, they have the privilege of getting the first coverage of Naughty Dog’s upcoming post-apocalypse survival-horror game, The Last of Us.

The publication is flaunting their latest issue, with promises of plenty of screenshots and more information to come – so stay tuned for the scans to hit the internet.

Meanwhile, some information has been shared, along with 3 screenshots (below).

At least part of the game is set in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Combat will feature gunplay and melee.
Weapons will break through use. Scavenging for new items will be required.
The post-apocalypse world will feature a colourful palette, as the nature works to reclaim the concrete jungle.
Ellie, the teenage girl character, will not be controllable by players.
Naughty Dog promises extensive work on Ellie’s AI, so she won’t get in the way of player character Joel, and reduce the game to one long escort mission.
