Naughty Dog reveals some new details about The Last of Us for the PS3 with the promise of multiplayer being added and more details involving the story.
In terms of the story, the game starts out with the main character, Joel, and his daughter escaping a military safe zone. The military controls all the safe zones and executes anyone infected as their first priority. The infection, similar to Resident Evil, mainly occurs in urban or highly dense areas with any area not controlled by the military seen as a hazardous zone.
Naughty Dog also hinted the story is set up to prevent sequels or cliffhanger endings but did not rule out the potential of the game becoming a series.
The gameplay itself is a bit heavy on the escort style but while Joel is the main playable character for the game, it was teased in previous announcements the daughter can be playable in certain segments of the game.
In terms of multiplayer, the studio confirms the game will have some sort of online multiplayer but as of right now they are just tossing and working on ideas. The main focus is on working the single player portion of the game with the multiplayer to be added in last.
Quote:
Finally when asked about an online mode Bruce Straley, the game’s Director, revealed that the game is, ”going to have some sort of online component.”
“We’re working on a bunch of ideas, but we haven’t nailed anything down. We definitely know it’s going to be awesome,” he added.

4) According to Kotaku's impressions with the upcoming public demo, Resiednt Evil Racoon City might be plagued with the same dumb AI on a worse level than RE5 had which somewhat ruins playing the game alone.
