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.
