SHOWNOTES: In this episode, Ash and Dakota delve into one of the most celebrated and influential games in recent history: Naughty Dog's 2013 survival horror PlayStation 3 exclusive, The Last of Us... or, well, more technically, we played its enhanced port, the 2014 PlayStation 4 exclusive The Last of Us Remastered. We discuss at length the cinematographic quality of the title, the near-perfect implementation of realism in survival gameplay, and the impact of this PS3-era product on modern gaming. We also briefly discuss standalone DLC Left Behind and reveal our predictions for the upcoming highly-anticipated sequel The Last of Us Part II. Craft a health kit and pump your shotguns for the horde of Infected, as Collateral Gaming analyzes one of the best-selling games of all time.
