$600 Australian works out at around $605 US according to XE Currency converter.
Or around £390....
I would prefer a more over-the-shoulderesque 3rd person viewpoint (similar to Dead Space), rather than the looser platformer type of camera found in the Uncharted series.
It would definitely make the game a lot more suspenseful, tighten up the shooting controls & help differentiate the new IP from Uncharted.
Dead right. Co-op destroys any of the fear factor in survival-horror games. They are supposed to be scary & build suspense, that's the reason why Dead Space (& to a lesser extent, Alan Wake) was such a success this gen.
And one of the many reasons why Resident Evil 5 didn't live up to gamers expectations.
I thought they already debunked that myth when they made Crash Bandicoot & Jak and Daxster.
He probably got paid a pretty penny & got all expenses paid, to make the trip to the VGAs.
So he could have turned it down or asked for a translator if he felt his language skills weren't up to scratch.
Bethesda have gotten Liam Neeson,Ron Pearlman, Patrick Stewart & Sean Bean.
Rockstar have gotten Ray Liotta, Ricky Gervais, Denis Hopper & Samuel L. Jackson.
Valve have gotten Stephen Merchant & J.K Simmons.
Hell even a small studio such as Ninja Theory, had Andy Serkais for voice & mo-capture in Enslaved.
So yeah, I don't see why a developer of Naughty Dog's calibre couldn't attract the vocal tale...
I never made the assumption that The Last of Us is a better game!
I go by the track record of developers, & in my opinion both Bioshock & Uncharted are the best franchises this gen. And neither Ken Levine & Irrational Games (aka 2K) nor ND have ever let me down.
So why is it so hard to believe that both Bioshock Infinite & TLoU will be up there as the 2 upcoming standout titles?

You're kidding right?
How about
Cole Train from Gears of War?
Captain Price from Call of Duty?
Carl Johnson from San Andreas?
John Marston from Red Dead Redemption?
Kratos from God of War?
Scott Shelby from Heavy Rain?
ect. ect.
And those are just the ones off the top of my head.
If The Last of Us is getting a 2012 release. Then it's gonna be a toss-up.
Either way, this gen ain't over yet!
Yes, because in a the post-apocalypse scenario, personal appearance & grooming, are at the top of everyone's priorities.
Maybe the main character in The Last of Us should spend a few hours colouring his hair purple & shearing himself a trendy Mohawk while donning a white leather trench-coat. You know ,so he can differentiate himself from the 5 or so other people left in the world, who aren't bloodthirsty mutated freaks.
I'd like to see the PS4 have both it's internal physical hardware, & have the option of OnLive for multi-platform titles down the line.
So that the console partially future proofs itself.
Valve's procrastinating is starting to piss me off.
I'm a fan of the Left 4 Dead's & Portal 2,
but I would have preferred if they had diverted all their resources into creating Half Life 3.
One of the greatest series of all time needs as much time & love as possible.

'So how is it the game runs flawlessly on the PC and the Xbox 360?'
I was replying to this comment. I'm just speaking of my own experience with the game, and it runs far from flawlessly.
I don't even know why I'm replying to your comment in the first place, it is just laughable!
The fact that you brought up Uncharted (?), and asked me to trade in my 360 (????) is beyond me.
I'll enjo...
This is so fake.
The Half Life 3 logo in the screenshot, is the same (& only) piece of HL3 artwork that has been circulating the internet for years.
I'm sure that Valve would have created their own game logo rather than rehashing an old, dated piece of development artwork.
@decrypt;
You're kidding right?
I own Skyrim on for my 360, & while it's a great game, I have never encountered so many glitches in the one package.
First of all there was the texture streaming issue, if I decided to save the game to the HDD, then I experienced the Giants glitch; where you get catapulted up into space if hit, then there was the flying mammoths, also I got clipped into boulders & had to load a previous save to escape, e...

'While fans have been rather worried that the Max Payne series has moved on from original developers Remedy Entertainment, it seems Remedy have given new developers Rockstar Vancouver some advise along the way.

What, do you mean Max Payne 3?
The game in which has been in development for the past 5 years by Rockstar, the same Rockstar that published & co-developed Max Payne 2?

This article is a comparing the the power of the Wii U & the 360. I said 'even' because the PS3 it isn't even aforementioned in the headlining.
The PS3 was originally built to be marginally more 'future-proof' than the 360 (mainly due to the inclusion of a Blu ray drive & inbuilt HDD) whilst the 360's RAM architecture has given the 360 a slight edge in many ways. Either way though, both of them are starting to show their age.
People are disagreeing with me for directly converting the currencies? What is there to disagree about!
However 'IF' this is the price in Oz, then it will probably retail in/or around $500-550 in the US and around £350 in the UK.
