[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"]
[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"] No...The Road was actually pretty original, the only inspiration for that novel was the author's son.texasgoldrush

Sooooo.... you are saying that the author actually created the concepts of survival? He had never heard of cannibals before or watched a post apocalyptic movie? He completely invented the idea of bunkers?

Fact: Cormac McCarthy got the cannibal idea not from other works, but from conversations with his brother. Nevermind he is the MASTER at depicting human cruelty....such as with characters like Judge Holden or Anton Chigurh.

Are you honestly trying to tell us that a man born in 1933 had never seen, read, or heard anything that mentions or uses cannibalism, and he and his brother came up with the idea all by themselves to use in a book released in 2006?

Next you will be trying to tell me that my sarcastic comment about him inventing bunkers was actually true.

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"]the last of us, after all, is uncharted with zombies. what's worse is that not only the protagonist is a pathological psycho, he seems to get high on killing people, like the end of the demo where he had a gun pointed at the last guy and could've just told him to run off, but instead he went and wasted a bullet on him. hell, the entire fight could've been avoided, but you started it. this isn't a survival game. in a survival game you'd have avoided the group, and if that was not possible, you'd try your best to avoid a fight, because you're worried about surviving and saving resources, not about taking down the bad guys.15strong

First, it is not uncharated with zombies. In fact, the first uncharted had zombie like creatures in it.

Second, you can in fact forgo the entire fight. Naughty Dog stated that you can sneak around them and avoid conflict.

Dont waste your breathe, he was meant to hate the game regardless of what he saw during E3. What he is ignoring is how bland the E3 demo would be if you just walked around everyone willy nilly avoiding everything. They wanted to show off the survival aspects, how ammo is preserved, how to make items using the scraps you find around the world etc. Also, this is survival. If you didnt kill him, 10 miutes later he would probably kill you and the girl and take everything you have. There are no rules to survival.

[QUOTE="SPYDER0416"]
Yeah I remember when the zombies that were created from spores attacked the main characters of The Road, and when they were in a safe zone full of other people, and when they drove a car into other people and got into a gunfight.
Oh wait, none of those things happened? OP is just stupid? What a shocker.

or are you just stupid because you keep ignoring that I call the CORE OF THE DAMN STORY pretty much the same.

He doesnt understand lol. He thinks the entire board is conspiring against him rather than him just being a fool. Lets see which one is more likely.

[QUOTE="biggest_loser"]The aesthetics and visuals are completely different. The Road was bleak compared to how much colour is in this game. texasgoldrush

still post apocolyptic. Not much different. Also the title.

Both title's have "The" in them? Wow you're smart...

or maybe fanboys do not want to admit that the game borrows heavily from anothers fiction, the core of the narrrative none the less. Face it, the CORE of the story......a "parent-child" duo, representing survival and hope for humanity respectively try to survive a post apocolyptic universe....is nearly the same. This cannot be denied. Its not a fresh new story gamers try to make it out to be. Just accept it.

How do you know Naughty Dog didn't independently come up with every single idea themselves while having a conversation with their brothers? You are awfully presumptuous to think that they didn't come up with a well known and used story element all by themselves just like The Road did for everything in it.

, and you dont know what you're talking about. The game could rule. Or suck. It could follow that narrative, or wildly diverge. I'm not the one pretending I know everything from a few minutes of gameplay and a 2 minute CGI trailer...

ferret-gamer

Fact: Cormac McCarthy got the cannibal idea not from other works, but from conversations with his brother. Nevermind he is the MASTER at depicting human cruelty....such as with characters like Judge Holden or Anton Chigurh.

Are you honestly trying to tell us that a man born in 1933 had never seen, read, or heard anything that mentions or uses cannibalism, and he and his brother came up with the idea all by themselves to use in a book released in 2006?

Next you will be trying to tell me that my sarcastic comment about him inventing bunkers was actually true.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704576204574529703577274572.html WSJ: For novels such as "Blood Meridian," you did extensive historical research. What kind of research did you do for "The Road"? CM: I don't know. Just talking to people about what things might look like under various catastrophic situations, but not a lot of research. I have these conversations on the phone with my brother Dennis, and quite often we get around to some sort of hideous end-of-the-world scenario and we always wind up just laughing. Anyone listening to this would say, "Why don't you just go home and get into a warm tub and open a vein." We talked about if there was a small percentage of the human population left, what would they do? They'd probably divide up into little tribes and when everything's gone, the only thing left to eat is each other. We know that's true historically. ------------------------- Once again, not from other works, but from himself and real life historical facts.

No, I got info from the synopis from Naughty Dog and many of the previews...one calling it a "love story about a father-daughter like relationship". And nevermind the fact of a father son bond that inspired the Road and is central to the story.

Wrong......... They got ideas from actual history, not other peoples work. And they got the idea by BRAINSTORMING, not by emulating another person's story.

And nothing in the original post said another person's story. The point was he didn't make up the idea himself. Newsflash, both got it from history as you just acknowledged. I see now you're even going to the moronic extreme of saying any family relationship in a bad situation is a knock off of 'the road', which is equally stupid of a claim.

Okay, then you simply must concede the concept of survival and that things get rough, even cannibalism, is a concept that goes well beyond his work, because even used sources beyond his own imagination. And if that is the case, this whole argument is rather stupid.

I'll give you that, except that wasn't even the point. The point was it wasn't original and it wasn't. It is not the basis of zombies, or post-apolitical situation, or family situations. All of these predate it both fictionally and historically (and you even you acknowledge he got the ideas from history). Thus, any claims that something is based on it needs a HELL of a lot more than a very broad set of shared traits, when in fact we know it has lots of dissimilar traits.

and how is the focus of a "parent child" relationship, with the parent representing survival and love and the child representing hope, surviving in a post apocolyptic world "broad". Its not. And the dissimiliar traits are mostly backdrop elements, not core narrative elements.

ND hasn't released a synopsis of the entire game, so quit pretending. Simply because you draw parallels between the two doesn't mean they exist, and if they do that doesn't mean the game is directly inspired (or, that'd even be a bad thing!).

Seriously, there aren't bonus points for trashing a game 1 year before release. Plenty of time to tear it apart after. Just sad you've already decided to take a negative view of a game you barely know anything about.

You can have different backdrops but the core narrative remain the same or similiar. Its not reaching. Even the fact that the girl is not the man's daughter is really backdrop, however the "paternal bond" she has and the theme she carries IS similiar to the boy in "The Road".....and theme is a core element.

Last of Us is the only VIDEO game in current existence which resembles or at least draws inspiration from the road, and is drawing inspiration from many other sources across different mediums as well. LOL that in itself makes Last of Us unique FOR A VIDEO GAME, But which ever way you cut it, a high quality game with The Road as inspiration is TEH AWESOME . Naughty dog seems to be doing great things with its sources of inspirations, and what matters is WHAT you do with it/ what you do with an idea / what you do with a source of an inspiration, and how you make it better, while adding in your own flavor. Naughty Dog is doing exceptional in all those regards, and is molding the Last of Us into something truly special with the patent led Naughty Dog touch of awesome sauce glazed over

come on, you people sound butthurt. TGR just has a different point of view than you guys. He doesn't like how similar LoU and The Road are while you guys doesn't care about that, so at the end, no one wins.

So what? Naughty Dog have been doing this for years. It is pretty difficult in this day and age to make something completely unique. They aren't the only ones.

We've not really seen enough to suggest that it's 'ripping off' The Road; it doesn't seem as emotionally charged, the girl isn't related to the guy from what I gather? I'm pretty sure they're both from completely different backgrounds, her being from a 'well-off' family and him as a bit of a loner with no cash. The Road was about a man and his son and the relationship between them on a terrible journey.

I can see what you mean, but it's not really ripping it off; it's presenting a similar premise with a completely different context.

i've picked up the DVD box a few times, it looks like it'd be a good movie, but it sounds like it could be super depressing, so i avoid it, i dont like sad / depressing films. that said, "Dead mans shoes" was pretty sad / depressing, but a fantastic little film IMO.

It is both fantastic and depressing; though the film leaves some pretty graphic stuff out of the book.

[QUOTE="AcidSoldner"][QUOTE="texasgoldrush"]Seriously. This game is far from original. If anyone has read Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" or seen the movie version, you will know that this game is a complete ripoff. Just replace man and boy with man and girl (hell, the themes the characters present are pretty much the same, as with the child being born after the apocolypse), turn the environment from grey to green, replace cannibals with infected, and barring ending you got "The Road". And really, it will never approach the greatness of "The Road".

Yeah totally. We've seen two cutscene trailers and a 7 minute gameplay demo. Such a rip-off of The Road... :roll:

:lol: this, calm down dude.
