Solemn Henry I finished it almost a year ago, and it's hands down the best experience in gaming I've ever had, I still get goosebumps talking about it and hearing the music; I just never thought that possible from a video game.
Simon Brooke i finished playing it in early march and still get tingles listening to the music and that ending is just amazing. kinda thinking about replaying it.
I beat the game not long after it came out, and since then, have beaten it 5 times (4 times on PS3, once on PS4), and I still can't stop thinking about it. It is EASILY the greatest game I've ever played.
I'd actually love to see this T pose being integrated in live theatre. People'd be so weirded out, trying to assert symbols to it, then they find out it comes from video games. lol
Gustavo Santaollala played a pivotal part in the making of the game. His music enhanced the experience and added great depth to it. His score helped to navigate emotions throughout the game flawlessly. Same goes with TloU 2.
this is honestly my favorite video game soundtrack all games combined - and i listen a lot of them, even of games i've never played. listened to it soooo many times, it's brilliant from second zero to the end and yes, contributes perfectly to what the game has ended to be. masterpiece!!
At the time they made this video. No he wasn't in every video game. TLOU and bioshock infinite is what really made his career skyrocket. Especially TLOU.
I’ve only just recently got a PlayStation after being a PC gamer for so long. For my son for Christmas. After waiting so long to play this game and not watching anything of it on CZcams. I finished it two days ago. I cannot stop thinking about it, I’ve never had such a visceral experience with a game. It’s even topped dead space for me. Listening to the actors totally get the material is clearly why this worked so well.
PC gamer that will always have a PlayStation sitting alongside as long as Sony keep funding projects and supporting studios like these. They are in competition, they complement each other perfectly.
During Troy’s definitive play through, he described how Neil told him to get the death scene correct. Neil said something along the lines of “What I have is a broken man, what I need is a broken man but also how he arrived at that point.” Neil is such a solid director. I can’t wait for Pt 2
My favorite part of this whole documentary is the comment about the clickers sounding like Snapple bottle caps and the sound designers were like “Where were you guys months ago??? Stupid stupid stupid!” So cute! Hahahaha! Rewatching this in December 2022, when I FINALLY plucked up the courage to play TLOU-P1 on the PS4 (pro). Both from an artist’s and gamer’s perspective, I truly appreciate all the work NaughtyDog has done. The Uncharted series is one of my absolute favorite game franchises, I’m so glad I finally tried playing TLOU for myself. I’m not really into zombie/undead/infected/gore type games, despite having worked as a nurse and have seen my fair share of “severe injuries”.
when troy baker said '' if you want to be a top actor in video games, wait for me and Nolan North to die'', he is 100% right. theyre both in so many of the same games
Just finished this game today, can't stop thinking about, I've never been this obsessed & emotionally attached to a video game ever in my life...this might be the greatest video game I ever played so far & it definitely hits different when playing this game while actually being in quarantine lol
The whole concept of the fungi sprouting out of a human and then just overtaking it is so fascinating. There were times when playing the game that I was just so grossed out by seeing this dead body in the corner completely overtaken by the fungi, and then the walls and ceiling were covered in it. It was both so revolting and yet so interesting at the same time.
Non-gamers don't understand how much time, effort, money, dedication, sacrifice, research, and love are put into creating video games but I'm glad that I know how hard and time consuming just to creat one. So, I can appreciate it more.
Keseran kun I'm a gamer and I love all of em even if some of turn out to b trash after watching this for the 3rd time I really respect the developers designers animators and everyone cause making a game especially this masterpiece ain't something to finish in 6 months
Non-gamers think all games are like Mario Kart and Fortnight. They envision bright lights and messages that say YOU WIN and BONUS ROUND all over the screen with chiptune music. To them, games from the 1980s are what games are still like today. They have no clue.
With that, love the game for what it is, not what you expect it to be. Because no matter how bad it might be, it's still the work that many people have put effort in to let people explore for a few hours. If you can't, turn off and deal with the riot and virus.
I've been gaming for 30 or so years and this game took me to a place in gaming i have never been. The emotion involved combine with the relation ship you strike up with Ellie and Joel is beyond words a relationship that will stay with me forever. This is a Master piece of gaming and a journey any gamer should experience. Truly Amazing.
42:57 This part actually brought a tear to my eye. I am an actor, and the thing I constantly struggle with is not over acting. I have been told I go into every seen at 110% and so I have no where to go. I want people to look at me and think "wow, that guy is an incredible actor". Seeing that professionals struggle with it is strangely affirming. I've been working on it, but I find it very hard. I hope to one day give a performance as raw as Troys in that scene.
@@hishkapish4817 Watch "Raising Kratos". Crunch is in the business of game development. Honestly, if people realized how hard the industry is, they will probably respect the work of these people. Their lives are gone for 5+ years. They will miss so many moments they can't get back all to make a 25hr experience.
This game gave me unique experience which i never had in other games. Such emotional storyline, amazing characters and music, man, this music! Thank you, Naughty Dog.
niro that calming guitar as you walk trough abandoned city searching for loot. Sometimes the character would chat this revealing their background to us. This game is an absolute masterpiece!
This and Raising Kratos are amazing glimpses into how much sweat and tears goes into making these games. Really makes you appreciate them so much more.
I found Raising Kratos absolutely excellent, as unlike Grounded, which approached this in the more traditional behind the scenes way, they showed you actual hardship, actual fights between the team, actual emotional hard moments that make you question the whole development, and that just happens so often in this space. I hope we see more of that in Grounded 2.
31:20 over the years I've watched this documentary many times. This specific scene, the way it hit me in the game, and then watching it here, watching the real life performances of Ashley and Troy, just the utter power from their eyes and expressions, together with the subtlety of expression on their voices.... Oh man, time sits still for many moments with these, it is truly impactful. I was born in 1984 and began playing videogames when I was six. I could hardly imagine back then the soul sucking impact and realism could achieve. And this game is probably one of the all time hallmarks of that. Cheers.
hands down my favorite game of all time,i play it once every year each year and that's been like that since it came out,i'll never forget this game so many memories i just hope you are working on the last of us 2...
awesome me each time on a bigger dificulty and i don't like playing it like 2 times in 3 months cuz i then remember everything that'l happen i mean even after a year i still remember a lot but not the little details and that you know
(Talking about Troy Baker, Joel) As an actor, you need to have such an objectivity and humility to tell yourself and to a camera "I wanted people to love my acting on that scene, but that's not what the scene needed, that's why it had to be done so many times etc" man those guys are awesome. BTW, I was wondering where I had seen that face, he's also Delsin from InFamous Second Son, I believe they mocapt'd his entire face for this one.
Honestly, I don't even know why i got kinda emotional during that scene when i played it. I didn't want to leave the area. I just wanted to stay there.
Seeing troy actually act out the scene for Sarah’s death was heart wrenching. Playing through the scene was one thing but seeing the actual emotion that went into acting it out was on a whole other level. Props to all the actors. They’re all incredible. Every time I play through the game, it always has a way of bringing out all of my emotions
Best game ever! It ruined me to other games because they just don’t compare. The game gets you right from the start and it keeps you hooked until the very end.
The Breaking Bad of video games. Addictive, emotional, climactic, consistently good, beautiful character development, fantastic acting, makes you laugh, cry, cheer, and barely any video games (games in this instance being compared to other TV series) provide the same experience as it did once it's over.
Still watching this in 2020 you guys are amazing , can't stress how much I love this game. The small things you put in this production is amazing. It is really greatness from small beginnings, like my pride for this game that u guys built. I also finish this game in grounded mode and still cry
Naughty Dog I just wanna say thank you for all the hard work, sweat and tears you've put into this game. Everyone involved in this project. I'm sure you can raise your head up high and be proud of what you've have accomplished. It's almost the end of 2019 (it a crime I'm now seeing this making of the last of us video) and till today this has been the best game I have ever played. The journey and the feelings this game took me on was indescribable and memorable. Thank you for your passion & creativity Naughty dog.
Spoiler. The point where Joel was impaired and as I played as him I could visually see his movements slowing, and his aim becoming shaky it became a very real to me. Also the suspense when he fell of the horse and not knowing if he has succumb to his wounds or not a very interesting experience from a video game. Also during the scene where the player can see the shadow of the doctor who is about to kill Ellie I actually found myself rushing past soldiers to come to her aid as if there was some time countdown HUD in the top of the screen. A excellent emotional story here. I found playing as Ellie very interesting. The entire play style of the game was turned around and I died a lot. I liked it. This company creates video games that have the same weight as a movie in my opinion.
+Shacoy King I felt with Ellie, it was a lot more challenging but when you got to the final part where you realise what Ellie is going to go through in surgery, that makes it more of the whole "Well guess you are sorta my daughter now" unlike the "You are treading on some mighty thin ice!" part of the script when Ellie tells Joel about how she knows about Sarah.
bubbleLoppicus The most important part of the game for me was just before the giraffe, when joel called for Ellie and she just stayed put. That showed how important the giraffe was to her after the events in winter.
I feel like the game should have more weight than the movie as in a movie you are watching someone else's story but here you are controlling a story making it more like it is happening to you
I remember being surprised to see Nolan North was in the game as David, once I've played through once, just didn't recognize his voice. That said he did a great job.
42:32 Interesting seeing all the other takes of the Sarah/Joel scene. Maybe there's a bit of familiarity bias but I definitely like the acting that made it into the final cut over a lot of these others. Many of these had Troy going a little over the top to the point where it did seem really cringe. Kudos again to Neil.
So funny they talk about Planet Earth and the fungus part cause I remember thinking back on how fascinating that was and then when i got to play Last of Us I just immediately thought "Planet earth and that ant". Brilliant of them to include that in a survival game.
Michael Kiptoo Mwaniki they need to remaster both for the ps5 tho, think about the FPS and graphics difference, the difference from ps3 to 4 was incredible
@@reterumstrict1091 yeah, and it you havnt already realised, the jump in graphics capabilities from ps4 to ps4 is almost unnoticeable. Its nothing like ps3 versus ps4
Nolan North nailed what he was going for with David. I've played through TLoU about ten times and never realized until this documentary he played the role.
one of my favorite parts of the last of us is the music
Same
Daniel Jordan man I get chills from hearing the theme
Daniel Jordan shut up
+Jason Hassan why?
something even movies nowadays tend to overlook is the score and music, but this game knew how important it was.
Finished playing this yesterday, and I cannot stop thinking about it. Don't think I've ever been this emotionally affected by a video game.
Solemn Henry I finished it almost a year ago, and it's hands down the best experience in gaming I've ever had, I still get goosebumps talking about it and hearing the music; I just never thought that possible from a video game.
Simon Brooke i finished playing it in early march and still get tingles listening to the music and that ending is just amazing.
kinda thinking about replaying it.
I know exactly what you mean! Dude, I get goosebumps, hairs stand on my arms, it's a one of a kind experience
I keep on thinking"can this really happen in real life? Will everything be quiet" my music taste changed after hearing the soundtrack
I beat the game not long after it came out, and since then, have beaten it 5 times (4 times on PS3, once on PS4), and I still can't stop thinking about it. It is EASILY the greatest game I've ever played.
i love how directly after they shot the scene where Sarah dies they all stand up and T pose. Legendary.
hahaha
It's to assert dominance
That's what I do in stressful situations
I'd actually love to see this T pose being integrated in live theatre. People'd be so weirded out, trying to assert symbols to it, then they find out it comes from video games. lol
They do it after every scene
43:40 **Going through a mental breakdown**
“Cut!”
**gets up and t poses**
*t-pose to assert emotional dominance*
T = tears TT

Gustavo Santaollala played a pivotal part in the making of the game. His music enhanced the experience and added great depth to it. His score helped to navigate emotions throughout the game flawlessly. Same goes with TloU 2.
Santaolalla is a genius and made a master piece better than what it is alone.
this is honestly my favorite video game soundtrack all games combined - and i listen a lot of them, even of games i've never played. listened to it soooo many times, it's brilliant from second zero to the end and yes, contributes perfectly to what the game has ended to be. masterpiece!!
The soundtrack is so peaceful and sad
I think both games are such beautifully flawed, human pieces of art.
totally agree. The entire game is amazing but the soundtrack really brings it to an extra level of quality and emotion
47:25 nothing is better than the moment Neil realizes Gustavo's music is literally perfect to portray the feels of that scene...
👍
that moment has MAJOR David Lynch with Angelo Badalamenti vibes
lowkey brought tears to my eyes
lol so true I keep coming back to this moment as well
Troy Baker "I've done some video games in the past"
You mean EVERY video game
Every game Nolan North hasn't done and vice versa xD
At the time they made this video. No he wasn't in every video game. TLOU and bioshock infinite is what really made his career skyrocket. Especially TLOU.
***** no, he was in everything before this. He just wasn't known to the mainstream consumer
Yeah I guess. But I was talking about leads.. But yes he was in everything before this as something lol.
Persona 4
That music guy is a genuis
so you can't even remember his name?
@@teacherfromthejungles6671 It is a long name after all aha
Gustavo santaolalla
If Gustavo didn’t do the music this game wouldn’t be the same, neither would the second one.
He’s one of the greats. The soundtrack for the motorcycle diaries is one of his other great works
The ending of this game was perfect. It didn't give us the typical ending, it stayed true to the characters. That's why it hits home.

awesome me each time on a bigger dificulty and i don't like playing it like 2 times in 3 months cuz i then remember everything that'l happen i mean even after a year i still remember a lot but not the little details and that you know
+gvgf- therandomgamer I get your point, but it doesn't matter to me. I must regularly play it.
awesome me that's a bit hardcore ain't it ? ;)
gvgf- therandomgamer I guess. But I love it too much to part with it for too long.
(Talking about Troy Baker, Joel) As an actor, you need to have such an objectivity and humility to tell yourself and to a camera "I wanted people to love my acting on that scene, but that's not what the scene needed, that's why it had to be done so many times etc" man those guys are awesome.
BTW, I was wondering where I had seen that face, he's also Delsin from InFamous Second Son, I believe they mocapt'd his entire face for this one.
+The XXI he was also in COD AW
He's also Booker Dewitt :)
Ceri H
he was soooooo cool in that role
The XXI He's so many different game characters lol
“She become the protagonist by the end of the story.”

Sometimes recommended videos are the best things, I didn't know this existed.

DEATHS_SOUL35 yeah buddy
!!!!! :DD
Me.
Now I challenge someone to say that video games are not an art form...
Video games are not an art form.
+Andy Geahan X'D
True
they are not an art form............
..
.....
they are more than an art form
+LukaANDkrusty Yeah they are multiple art forms.
Oh man... that Giraffe part. Gets me every time. This game truly is a masterpiece.
Captain Cartman i went past it and didn't see it!!!!
Honestly, I don't even know why i got kinda emotional during that scene when i played it. I didn't want to leave the area. I just wanted to stay there.
And that ladies and gentleman was how the greatest piece of art in history was made
Ok, how was Mona Lisa made?
@@ijoinedthedarkside333 I personally enjoy this more than the Mona Lisa. It's my opinion, doesn't mean everybody is gonna agree with me
@@ijoinedthedarkside333who tf cares about that garbage fake picture of an ugly b
It really is such a masterpiece😍❤️Best videogame of all time (according to me)🥰
This video is gonna help me get through the next 5 months...
Dylan M yup
Make that 7 month😫
jay 99 I know...................
Now 7 months
This video is gonna help me make it thu the next 134 days
Seeing troy actually act out the scene for Sarah’s death was heart wrenching. Playing through the scene was one thing but seeing the actual emotion that went into acting it out was on a whole other level. Props to all the actors. They’re all incredible. Every time I play through the game, it always has a way of bringing out all of my emotions
43:47, christ, that was awkward.
But honestly, this scene was so powerful.
Best game ever! It ruined me to other games because they just don’t compare. The game gets you right from the start and it keeps you hooked until the very end.
Watching this makes me teary eyed over Annie who played as Tess...
The Breaking Bad of video games.
Addictive, emotional, climactic, consistently good, beautiful character development, fantastic acting, makes you laugh, cry, cheer, and barely any video games (games in this instance being compared to other TV series) provide the same experience as it did once it's over.
+Michael Mitchell I thought of Walking Dead but ok. Zombies feel irrelevant to this game.
breaking bad is boring tho........ u mad bro lol
+jajonabe good effort
and its as overrated as breaking bad
+Michael Mitchell There both made by sony coincidence ?
Who's here after The Last of Us 2 trailer dropped?
you got me.
Jacob Carey that trailer has made me all excited about the game again
Me
Jacob Carey so hyped
me
Still watching this in 2020 you guys are amazing , can't stress how much I love this game. The small things you put in this production is amazing. It is really greatness from small beginnings, like my pride for this game that u guys built.
I also finish this game in grounded mode and still cry
Same...same.
Naughty Dog I just wanna say thank you for all the hard work, sweat and tears you've put into this game. Everyone involved in this project. I'm sure you can raise your head up high and be proud of what you've have accomplished. It's almost the end of 2019 (it a crime I'm now seeing this making of the last of us video) and till today this has been the best game I have ever played. The journey and the feelings this game took me on was indescribable and memorable. Thank you for your passion & creativity Naughty dog.
Cumon guys , don't you think Gustavo Santaolalla deserves some credit too??
Yes he made an incredible sound for it
he deserves so much credit. the music gives you insane feels especially the all gone series
I love this games soundtrack so much!!
Man, his soudtrack is one of the best things in this game. I listen to it almost every day.
true
This is very interesting, good to see how my favorite game on the ps3 was made
It blows me away how young Sarah's actress was at the time. She did such an amazing job
7:42 i can see the resemblance with Pedro Pascal now
Spoiler.
The point where Joel was impaired and as I played as him I could visually see his movements slowing, and his aim becoming shaky it became a very real to me. Also the suspense when he fell of the horse and not knowing if he has succumb to his wounds or not a very interesting experience from a video game. Also during the scene where the player can see the shadow of the doctor who is about to kill Ellie I actually found myself rushing past soldiers to come to her aid as if there was some time countdown HUD in the top of the screen. A excellent emotional story here.
I found playing as Ellie very interesting. The entire play style of the game was turned around and I died a lot. I liked it. This company creates video games that have the same weight as a movie in my opinion.
+Shacoy King I felt with Ellie, it was a lot more challenging but when you got to the final part where you realise what Ellie is going to go through in surgery, that makes it more of the whole "Well guess you are sorta my daughter now" unlike the "You are treading on some mighty thin ice!" part of the script when Ellie tells Joel about how she knows about Sarah.
bubbleLoppicus The most important part of the game for me was just before the giraffe, when joel called for Ellie and she just stayed put. That showed how important the giraffe was to her after the events in winter.
^^^ this
I feel like the game should have more weight than the movie as in a movie you are watching someone else's story but here you are controlling a story making it more like it is happening to you
I remember being surprised to see Nolan North was in the game as David, once I've played through once, just didn't recognize his voice. That said he did a great job.
True... It suprised me too O.O
I had no idea Nolan North was David. Incredible.
42:32 Interesting seeing all the other takes of the Sarah/Joel scene. Maybe there's a bit of familiarity bias but I definitely like the acting that made it into the final cut over a lot of these others. Many of these had Troy going a little over the top to the point where it did seem really cringe. Kudos again to Neil.
After seeing all of this, I'm perfectly fine with them not rushing Part II.
A rushed game is forever bad a delayed game has more potential
Puppet Comhairle and now they’ve ruined PT2
Haha
@@samc863 ouch.
@@SawdEndymon how?
Anyone else notice the voice of Ellie is the woman that Captain America saved in The Avengers who worked in that one coffee shop?
Yep that's Ashley Johnson
Yeah
Its stuff like this that shows how goddam expensive it is to make a game.
42:38 the start of one of the best lessons for every inspiring actor i think.
The actor that plays Joel (his voice)... the animated person looks MORE like his voice sounds....... Does ANYONE understand what i am trying to say???
+TheZowwee That his voice fits the chracter more than himself, right?
Mr. Popo yeah. He just does a nice voice for that guy I guess.. is what I was saying.
TheZowwee
Gotcha
+TheZowwee Yeah thats what voice actors do. :)
djshauny1
he does it very well. I can do a pretty good voice impersonation of Kermit the Frog and Hank Hill from King of the Hill... LOL.
So funny they talk about Planet Earth and the fungus part cause I remember thinking back on how fascinating that was and then when i got to play Last of Us I just immediately thought "Planet earth and that ant". Brilliant of them to include that in a survival game.
Who is here watching after they gave the release date 2-21-20?
mmll25 me
me too!!!
mmll25, me also same
meee
Me
Like, If you are here after watching Grounded 2 ...
I’m re-watching before checking out the new doc
Rewatching after Grounded 2.
The last of us is proof that video games are art.
Not only that but it's proof that people will engage and get lost in a great story in a singer player games
It’s also proof that video games are video games.
The Last of Us's story is ok. Nothing special, pretty B-movie melodrama just with slightly better-than-usual writing. Hardly a masterpiece of a story
Orange Tack ok sure, but they did so many things right with it too
@Aputsiaq Lennert why?
I bought this game for my PS3 and PS4. If you make a remastered version for the future PS5 console, I will buy it once again. This game deserves it.
probably they will release last of us 2 on ps4, then remaster it for ps5
Michael Kiptoo Mwaniki they need to remaster both for the ps5 tho, think about the FPS and graphics difference, the difference from ps3 to 4 was incredible
True
Huge FX knowing now what I didn’t know then (that gta5 is getting another remaster), this also might just happen
@@reterumstrict1091 yeah, and it you havnt already realised, the jump in graphics capabilities from ps4 to ps4 is almost unnoticeable. Its nothing like ps3 versus ps4
I love the dialogue in this game, so watching the voice actors deliver the lines with such passion is really powerful 🔥
The bill actor literally just acted as
himself lol
25:15 never saw it before now but he really does look like a character from FF... Like a 25 or 30 year old Tidus.
2:00, goosebumps anyone?
raises hand
yeah exactly
No I'm God
shut up!!
Here: 31:21
I walked into this game with the greatest expectations after hearing that it is the greatest game ever. And it still delivered more than I expected
14:20 that is actually terrifying
I have finished this game 5 times, i think I'm an addict :)
Same here. I beat it 2 times on normar, 1 time one hard and 2 times on survival and over 50 hours in online.
Beat it for the 7th time the other day.
can you help me bc im stuck on the part where you play as sarah and I put the difficulty on easy
+tommyaswagger watch a lets play or walk through
They will probably help you :D
me too. love it!
25:10 yeah Troy with that haircut totally looks like a FF15 character :-D
Blonde Noctis 😂
True.)
I’m so ready for “The Making of Last of Us Part II”
Nolan North nailed what he was going for with David. I've played through TLoU about ten times and never realized until this documentary he played the role.
