TheLastOfUsHBO's co-creator Craig Mazin heaps praise upon the story for the acclaimed video game. 'It’s an open-and-shut case: this is the greatest story that has ever been told in video games.'
The Last of Us television series co-creator, Craig Mazin, recently gave the original video game's story the highest praise. Naughty Dog's 2013 title had players primarily take the role of Joel Miller, a weathered survivor of the zombie apocalypse.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While speaking with Empire, Mazin gave the original The Last of Us video game the highest praise imaginable. The Chernobyl writer stated that the game's story is "the greatest" to have been written in the history of video games. Admitting to being a gamer for over 40 years, Mazin found the characters and narrative to be unlike he has ever experienced before.
It’s an open-and-shut case: this is the greatest story that has ever been told in video games. They didn’t shoot anything out of their eyeballs. They were just people. And that, in and of itself, is remarkably rare in games. The fact that they kept it so grounded, and really made you feel – I had never experienced anything like it, and I’ve been playing video games since 1977.
The Last of Us trailers have shown the lengths the production has gone to recapture the visual aesthetic and feel of the original video game. Along with the trailers, leaked set photos and videos have shown that many of the game's environments, important plot points, and even dialogue have been reproduced for the show. The original Marlene actor, Merle Dandridge, has also returned to the franchise to play Marlene, the leader of the Fireflies.
However, both Druckmann and Mazin have promised that there will be mind-blowing elements within the upcoming story that were not in the original game. New characters have also been added to the series to include Kathleen , a leader of a violent survivor group in Kansas City, and Marlon and Florence , a married couple living together in the wilds of Wyoming. Even returning characters have been changed for heightened dramatic effect.
