See the poll. I personally loved the game, but I think the game should be left to stand on its own. I loved the ending and I don't feel any more of the story needs to be told.

Would rather see a new ip from Naughty Dog, TLOU is better as a standalone game.

Seeing the success of the Last of Us, and the difficulty of creating an awesome new IP, I'm pretty sure Naughty Dog is thinking about making a sequel :).

I could go either way on this, but like it was said above, I'm sure there'll be another TLoU after how well received this game was.

It should just stay as its own game, there's not really much left to go on that hasn't been done a milion times in other zombie stories, at least Ellie provided some driving force to go from place to place.  I liked the game, but I do think the whole zombie/end of the world thing should be left alone for a while, as it's everywhere now.

I dont want a sequel because they will probably make Joel die eventually i would hate that but it seems logical.

If there is a sequel, it shouldn't be focused on Joel & Ellie. Their journey capped itself perfectly, and The Last of Us should become the first ND IP that doesn't need a familiar face at the forefront of its sequels.

Don't make a sequel please.

Uncharted would be awesome even if they only made Drake's Fortune. However the game mechanics of TLOU are different from Uncharted, they would become repetitive and boring really fast.

Sequel or episodic DLC for the next 2 years. I rather have episodic DLC that way they can cover stuff that took place before some events and even expand on some events like what happened to Bill after they left him. The story if the black guy and his brother. How Marline and Elie got together, Ellies's life before she lost her parents, got bit and then lost her friend. The story of how Joel and Tess got together. There are so many things the can make DLC about and to me that better than a sequel. BUT a sequel taking place 8 year in the future where you place as a 22 year old Ellie and Joel is old. And now its not just people that get infected, no animals are getting infected too. Imagine fighting and infected Elephant, a pack of wolfs, infected monkeys, and infected Gorilla!!!!

Actually it would be nice if the TLoU team stayed making games for the PS3 while the other ND team works on PS4 games. Supporting the PS3 after the Quad is released is what SONY said they'll do. A way they can prove it is by doing that.

I wouldn't mind if they did, but I just don't want them to add any more to the story told in the first game. I believe that's fine as is, though another game simply set in that world might not be a bad idea. Of course, another new ip might just be the best idea. I can't wait to see what they do next.

If it is to be a sequel they will almost definately shake the feel and controls up if they do indeed feel it is repetative (Does naughty dog ever to half of their ability?)

I would love it just because there are some fantastic ways a sequel could go.

We finish the game and know Ellie and Joel so well they can skip a few years in advance and focus on where the relationship has gone and with many new characters to compliment the two, they may not start the game together, making you wonder whats happened, and after a while it slowly uncovers the story.

I quite frankly want another one.

It ended perfectly and doesn't necessarily need a sequel (to the characters at least).

But I'd love a sequel. The Walking Dead doesn't necessarily need a sequel either but I'm interested. But with different characters this time. I want to see what other stories they can tell.

If they do make a sequel I bet it will be a prequel.    Remember that 20 year gap at the beginning?   Then probably a 3rd one that will really finish the story

I think Naughty Dog could manage another game because the ending left a few question marks.

Idk about all of that, but if they continue the story I do agree with it being an Episode 2. Something like how the Half Life 2 series was going about things..

I'm surprised people don't want a sequel. The gameplay is very fun and franchise worthy - like Uncharted. I think they should end both Joel and Ellie's story though. I think having a time gap AFTER the first would be great. Then maybe have an Adult Ellie show up at the end leading to a trilogy, with Joel status unknown.

I'm open to a sequel. I voted for a sequel with different characters though, because I cannot imagine what else can be said about Joel and Ellie. If Naughty Dog could think of something, I'd be open to that as well.

No but if there was a sequel I do not want any characters from the current game in it. The sequel should be in a different country too.
