I'm actually kinda torn about one thing:
Naughty Dog is the only game developer that I really trust 110%. I know this will be an excellent game and it will be a first day purchase for me.
However, I would have liked Naughty Dog to make something entirely different from Uncharted. This game looks very much like Uncharted in both style and gameplay. I would have loved for something where you don't use guns but rather magic or something. A more charming game like their old Crash Bandicoot ones.
I see what you're saying, even if I think the tone and survival elements of the Last of Us distinguish it plenty from Uncharted. I would love to see ND apply their A+ animation/voice acting/art design/cinematic gameplay to something more fantasy or sci-fi oriented, where gunplay isn't a factor. We'll see what the future brings, but if Last of Us is a big hit, it sounds like it'll be a franchise... and ND isn't a big studio. They'd have to recruit an entirely new team to start a third IP.
If they'd go for something more magic based or something with the more warm, charming touch like their Crash Bandicoot games, we would have the most beautiful game ever made I'm pretty sure of. It would also be a nice change overall from the gunshooting formula.
