'The Last of Us' Scores the Top Prize at GDC, Comes to PS4
This post-apocalyptic thriller is the winner at the Game Developers Choice Awards held during the Game Developers Conference in San Fransisco. “The Last of Us” scored the highest award at one of the three PlayStation awards - for the Best Action Game.
It also scored one of the most coveted honors – Game of the Year award, as well as took home the Best Narrative and the Best Game Design awards.

Right after the triumphant win of the Last of Us, Sony reveals big news. According to an interview with Sercan Sulun, Playstation’s software market manager in Europe, the Last of Us is making its way to Sony PS4 this year. It is great news for everyone hungrily waiting for first-class content on their PS4, as well as for anyone who chose to abandon Xbox ship for the pending generation and missed this spectacular game that has been gathering awards as if it were a spring cleaning.
We would expect nothing less than a fully loaded game with enhanced graphics and the first piece of single player DLC, Left Behind, from this last-gen port.
The Last of Us was one of the last great exclusives for the PS3, which provided the Xbox owners with a seductive idea of what can lay ahead of them if they switch to Sony for the next generation. What we see now is a fresh battle with many first-party games intended for launch this year, including the Driverclub, inFamous, the Order:1886 and now The Last of Us for PS4.
