The Art of The Last of Us

There can be no denying the intricate, delicate and amazingly crafted world The Last Of Us created. It is one of the most powerful concepts in gaming to this date, and for that reason alone I was almost compelled to purchase this book, and it can straightforwardly say that this only extends the love I have for the Art & Design team at Naughty Dog. Firstly, the contents are as follows: Large matte-style hardback book with an Introduction by Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley, then chapters consisting of: - Joel And Ellie - The Journey - The Infected - The World - Marketing - American Dreams Each chapter showcases some form of design evolution for either characters or environments, from the first ideas to, for example, different looks and outfits for the finalised characters which you are familiar with, all set out as a pure showcase of art, with minimal annotation. For those who are familiar with these kinds of art books, this is pretty expected and normal stuff. However, what really sets this book apart from others, and what makes it one of the very best in my opinion, is the standard of art and design shown. All art books are impressive, but there is something really quite fascinating and special about the content in this one. Some of the design concepts and mood drawings are some of the very best that I've ever seen for, well, anything really. They are so evocative and moving i'm not surprised that the final game has such a well pulled off vision, as it would be hard not to be inspired. Really, it is hard for me to emphasise that enough - Although the character design sections, though interesting, are not exactly something to write home about, they are placed between amazing, powerfully evocative and very talented pieces of art and design conceptualisations. the vast majority of which are some of the best I've ever come across. Certainly, I'd be hard pressed to mention another art book that is as emotionally drawing as this one. It is very involving, incredibly powerful and endlessly impressive in its scope and talent. Beautiful, evocative art & design from a beautiful, evocative game. I would recommend to all fans of the game with no hesitation at all. Again, it one of the finest art books (in terms of the quality of content) that there is. (And just a small point to note, for those who haven't yet completed the game, this will contain spoilers)

i love the last of us and this artbook shows all the concept art and takes you through all the different parts of the game

it's amazing to see the process on the making of the game, it's such a good collectors item for any tlou fan and a definite recommended buy! quality is amazing aswell

There aren't many games as taut, engaging and enjoyable as The Last of Us was, a action-adventure survival horror video game developed by Naughty Dog and argueably the jewel in Sony's crown of exclusive titles. A dark vision of a pandemic ridden United States, a post apocalyptic world devoid of hope and ravaged by desperation, in the 3 times I played through the campaign, along with Bioshock and Infinite, it was the most emotional and memorable experience I've had in my 20+ years of gaming, because the visuals and environments are so realistic, the story so immersive and the characters so desperate, distressed and relatable, you care about what happens to them, that's what made The Last Of Us such a haunting experience, from initially being detached and reticent, our two protagonists (wonderfully brought to life by exceptional voice acting and motion capture) develop a Father/Daughter relationship, after surviving and aiding each other through desolate and scarring situations, they reveal more about each other and what they've had to do to survive, and after 3 years that's what has stuck with me, that these characters were prepared to do anything to make sure the other one was safe and alright, those actions for some reason really resonate inside of me, selfless, unselfish decisions made by a character more concerned with the well being of others than themselves.

The Last Of Us is easily my favorite game, now franchise, of all time. I have been after this book for a couple of years but could never find it in stock without being super inflated in price. The art is excellent, there is a nice amount of writing to go along with it, and the print and book quality are wonderful. I have no complaints.

Asa 15 year old, i dont actually have any other artbooks, so i wasnt entirely sure what to expect. i mainly bought this because well, the game is AMAZING, and having the Joel Edition, i saw a glimpse of artwork and decided to buy the full thing - im also considering things like character design/illustration as perhaps a future career, being somwthing of interest and desire. This artbook really helps you to appreciate the little details in last of us more than you would already, things like lighting (obviously) and those extra little unrequired details that hint to you the lifestyles of hunters and fireflies - right down to the basic clothing. its also quite amazing how initial infected designs changed so much to what they are now. Although, i wish there was a little more on the character development for David than just 1 or 2 pages. and to those wondering, this does have more than mini artbooks that came with Joel/Ellie Edition and it also includes some more things that arent included in the in-game concept art bonuses.

Anyone who has played the game will know that the artwork in the game is nothing short of stunning so the book is pretty much what you would expect. Page after page of designs, concept sketches for characters and locations. The amount of work that went into the pre production of this game alone is astounding. The only complaint is it would have been nice to have had a bit more reading in the book. It is almost entirely artwork with a few sprinklings of text here and there giving you a little information on the designs, but it would have been nice to get a bit more information on some of the artwork.

I love seeing begging the scenes work of things I love so this book was awesome, I got to see all the alternative character designs and read about bits and pieces that went into the game, I love it

Libro de arte del videojuego The Last of Us. Tapa dura, hojas de buena calidad e ilustraciones increíbles.

Allow me to start off with: The Last of Us was just a wonderful cinematic game. There hasn't been anything that could compare. Now being a big fan of the game, I was more importantly interested in the conceptual art due to being an Animation major, I have always admired their wonderful landscaping. When I saw they had it for such an amazing price on Amazon I had to get it. I was a bit wary because you can take a sneak peek of the book on here and thought maybe I had just seen the whole book on there. After ordering, it arrived ten days later in a box encased with padded bubble wrap and air cushions. What they show on the sneak peek is not even half of what you actually get in the book. The book has a beautiful hard cover and is sectioned off into "chapters" It goes in chronological order of what happened in the game. Everything from Young Joel and Sarah's conceptual design down to the University of Eastern Colorado's logo. There are pages and pages on Ellie's designs. It's interesting how it shows how she was a short-haired redhead once. It's also pretty hilarious how the infected designs are in the back, like the team that put the art book together were saving it for a big finale and boy, do they not disappoint. The infected conceptual art is mindblowingly amazing and creepy. They used to look really alien, I'm talking about severed heads being dragged behind by a two legged monster, but I'm glad they reigned it in and we got our Clickers. I could honestly go on and on about the book, but really take my word for it, it's worth every cent.

I really like this game.good concept!

Nada como ter a oportunidade de ver parte do processo de criação de um dos jogos de maior nome dos últimos tempos. Mostrando como foi o primeiro design do Joel e da Ellie até o resultado final, ver como são grande as mudanças do começo do projeto até o produto final (o jogo). Até como mudança de grande parte do "enredo", como quem seria vilão da história. E também ver as artes que deram vida a esse universo e ainda com notas explicando certas escolhas. A qualidade do livro achei excelente, com fotos com resoluções muito boas. Chegou em perfeito estado sem nenhum dano. Valeu muito apena a aquisição. Recomendo a todos os fãs de The Last of Us e da Naughty Dog. E é um prazer enorme poder ter acesso a esse tipo de material.
