AN ENDING THAT WOULD HAVE HURT.
Naughty Dog are to reveal an alternate ending for The Last of Us.
The developer has stated that it will reveal one of it's original endings for one of the most successful titles of the year.
Creative director Neil Druckmann took to Twitter, stating "see how it originally ended" along with an image of Joel (left) with a knife to his throat.
Druckmann stated that the developer played with "about three or four ideas" for The Last of Us' ending "before finding the ending that worked best for the story we wanted to tell."
Personally I can't help but feel relieved about the way the game actually ended. Don't worry I won't drop any spoilers, although if you're reading this post then you now know the above doesn't happen. However, I feel that most people were quite satisfied with the ending that Naughty Dog landed on. A brave one for sure. The image is an interesting one, because I can't help but see a likeness between the woman in the image, and the character Tess who appears early on during the game.
This "orignal" ending will be revealed at a PAX Prime Panel next month, and knowing The Last of Us, I can't imagine Joel's ending would have been particularly neat.
