Game of the Year Edition for The Last of Us hitting PS3 in Europe next month
Just like every other game these days,The Last of Usis getting a Game of the Year edition. However, unlike some other games, Naughty Dog’s latest probably deserves one, Sony argues.
“With over 250 Game of the Year Awards*, and countless other industry accolades under its belt including five BAFTAs, there really are few games that deserve the title as much asThe Last of Us,”SCEE Product Manager Alex Moyet wrote over atPlayStation Blog Europe.
Game of the Year Editions are still just marketing ploys, one more way to make investors gleefully clap hands together like vintagecymbal-banging monkey toys. But, sure, if any game deserves the treatment,The Last of Usdefinitely qualifies. It’snot like Sony is pulling a Deep Silver and wrapping up a turd likeDead Islandin golden tinfoil and trying to pass it off as something special because one person on the Internet said it was fun.
As for what’s included in the package, it’s basicallyThe Last of Us: Remasteredon PS4, except neither remastered nor on PS4. You’ll have access all that wonderful DLC, includingLeft Behindandsome extra multiplayer maps, right out of the gate. You know, the usual stuff.
It will release across Europe on November 11 for €39.99.
