Nice art book。 Here you can find concept art not only from the game but also from a comic book TLOU - American dreams。 Really nice work with commentary on how the characters， infected and the whole amazing world of TLOU were made。 And also amazing work with light。 Beautiful。

Неймовірно цікава та захоплива подорож крізь "тенета" розуму розробників та дизайнерів моєї улюбленої гри。 Перш за все， слід зазначити， що рівень деталізації та насиченості концепт-артів неймовірно високий。 Naughty Dog намагались за допомогою численних ескізів зрозуміти саму природу гри， яку вони хочуть надати користувачам。До прикладу， у книзі показано як за допомогою концепт-артів однієї і тієї ж локації розробники та дизайнери намагались зрозуміти як краще зробити відбивання світла від снігу。 Неймовірно цікава та захоплива подорож крізь "тенета" розуму розробників та дизайнерів моєї улюбленої гри。 Перш за все， слід зазначити， що рівень деталізації та насиченості концепт-артів неймовірно високий。 Naughty Dog намагались за допомогою численних ескізів зрозуміти саму природу гри， яку вони хочуть надати користувачам。До прикладу， у книзі показано як за допомогою концепт-артів однієї і тієї ж локації розробники та дизайнери намагались зрозуміти як краще зробити відбивання світла від снігу。 У іншому випадку， вони посеред великої （величезної！） кількості ескізів намагались вибудувати модель розвитку хвороби на різних стадіях。 Дуже цікавими є ідеї та ескізи головних героїв， особливо Еллі та Томмі。 Рекомендую до прочитання кожному фанату гри。 。。。more

Oohwee I found another art book to borrow digitally from the library！ The Last of Us is one of my favorite video games and the art is just as stunning as the plot itself。 This wasn't the best time to read about a book set during a pandemic， but the spores on the zombies were just so beautiful！ These types of books with minimal text and maximized artwork are a feast for my eyes。 This is a great book for fans of the series or sneak peek for those who aren't sure what to expect from the game。 I'm t Oohwee I found another art book to borrow digitally from the library！ The Last of Us is one of my favorite video games and the art is just as stunning as the plot itself。 This wasn't the best time to read about a book set during a pandemic， but the spores on the zombies were just so beautiful！ These types of books with minimal text and maximized artwork are a feast for my eyes。 This is a great book for fans of the series or sneak peek for those who aren't sure what to expect from the game。 I'm totally psyched for the HBO adaptation of this with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in the future too！ I hope to find lots more art books from my library to further rest my brain and entertain my peepers！ 。。。more

An amazing book。 Just feel so connected with the game。 Amazing pictures and guided stream of art。

Esse é um livro muito legal pra quem gosta de desenhar coisas pós apocalípticas。 Muita referência legal， além de dar uma boa ideia do processo criativo de personagens tão icônicos。

Amazing collection of environmental paintings and character sketches。 Even if you don't like the game or don't play video games in general， this is a necessary grab for post-apocalypse enthusiasts。 The detail is simply stunning。 Amazing collection of environmental paintings and character sketches。 Even if you don't like the game or don't play video games in general， this is a necessary grab for post-apocalypse enthusiasts。 The detail is simply stunning。 。。。more

I wish there had been more discussion on the game’s development but a lot neat pre viz art to gander at。

I have read through this multiple times。As I hame an umpteenth run through of the game， I thought it would be great to have another gander through the Art and making of the game。The down side of art book are that they don't really go into true depth of the development of the game。 However， it is great to see the directions of which the characters were designed。I am also very thankful that we didn't get some of the more creepy and weird infected that were featured in this book。 I have read through this multiple times。As I hame an umpteenth run through of the game， I thought it would be great to have another gander through the Art and making of the game。The down side of art book are that they don't really go into true depth of the development of the game。 However， it is great to see the directions of which the characters were designed。I am also very thankful that we didn't get some of the more creepy and weird infected that were featured in this book。 。。。more

Le había puesto 3 estrellas pero realmente tengo que ser justa， pues es un artbook， y como tal está fenomenal。 Un repaso conceptual y visual a uno de los mejores videojuegos ever。 Pero he de decir que una de las cosas que más disfruto de los artbooks de este estilo es que suelen venir acompañados de notas de los desarrolladores que exponen los porqués de sus decisiones， sean narrativos o prácticos o artísticos。 Y en ese aspecto se queda muuuuy corto。

What a magnificent book to accompany such a masterpiece of a video game！ I absolutely LOVED getting behind-the-scenes looks at how Naughty Dog and its team created “The Last of Us”。 Getting to dive into how they developed the characters， landscapes， the infected， and much more was so incredible。 I particularly loved how we got to see how they went through several adaptations of each character before coming to the ultimate look。 I also THOROUGHLY loved seeing how they developed the infected。。。tha What a magnificent book to accompany such a masterpiece of a video game！ I absolutely LOVED getting behind-the-scenes looks at how Naughty Dog and its team created “The Last of Us”。 Getting to dive into how they developed the characters， landscapes， the infected， and much more was so incredible。 I particularly loved how we got to see how they went through several adaptations of each character before coming to the ultimate look。 I also THOROUGHLY loved seeing how they developed the infected。。。that was terrifying and sooo cool at the same time！If you love “The Last of Us”， this book is 100% worth buying。 The artwork， inside looks at how ND created this intense world， and the extra info you get about each character is so rewarding。 I’m already re-reading it and flipping to my favourite parts， and I feel like I’ll be doing it for a while。 I also know I’ll be doing the same with Part II’s art book。Endure and survive！ 。。。more

От артбука по великой игре невольно ждёшь чего-то выдающегося。 А это。。。 Просто артбук。 Интересно посмотреть разве что на несколько концертов заражённых， которые не вошли в игру。Но в целом - лучше документалку Grounded бесплатно на Ютубе посмотреть。

Let me say this first。 I love this game， and its art。 Nevertheless or because of that， this art book， at least its kindle edition， was bad。 The resolutions of its arts were really bad and there were very little explanation of them。 I believe they could do much better than this。

I already knew a lot about this game because I'm obsessed， but I was surprised to learn some new information。 All the art is stunning and makes me feel quite nostalgic about the game since I played it first when I was 14 or 15 years old。 This also makes me really excited about the second game。 I already knew a lot about this game because I'm obsessed， but I was surprised to learn some new information。 All the art is stunning and makes me feel quite nostalgic about the game since I played it first when I was 14 or 15 years old。 This also makes me really excited about the second game。 。。。more

A gorgeous look at the concept art that made up a genre defining game。 High quality to be sure， I just wish there was more commentary from the creators to accompany the glossy images。

Libro Normalito que relata un poco sobre la historia de naughty dog， un poco sobre el videojuego the last of us en todos sus apartados。 El libro en si esta bien me hubiese gustado mas detalles especificos como por ejemplo la banda sonora de Gustavo Santaolalla pero en lineas generales esta bien。 Para todo fanatico de the last of us se lo recomiendo。

You played the game three times already。 You've watched all the youtube interviews and the Making Of documentary （twice）。 You yearn for more of The Last of Us。 You finally get your hands on this book。 It takes you back to your early childhood when you curled up in bed looking at each picture in your picture book for an eternity， soaking in the colours and details， transporting yourself to another realm。 That's this artbook。 You played the game three times already。 You've watched all the youtube interviews and the Making Of documentary （twice）。 You yearn for more of The Last of Us。 You finally get your hands on this book。 It takes you back to your early childhood when you curled up in bed looking at each picture in your picture book for an eternity， soaking in the colours and details， transporting yourself to another realm。 That's this artbook。 。。。more

I've been fascinated with post apocalyptic works for as long as I can remember， especially zombie and virus stories， so this game was a dream come true for me when I discovered it when I was around 14 years old。 This art book is incredible。 It shows character designs and concepts， the process that goes into selecting the final design; it looks a lot at the world and the decisions they made in what they included in scenes from marketing to lighting and greenery。 Looking at all of the thought and I've been fascinated with post apocalyptic works for as long as I can remember， especially zombie and virus stories， so this game was a dream come true for me when I discovered it when I was around 14 years old。 This art book is incredible。 It shows character designs and concepts， the process that goes into selecting the final design; it looks a lot at the world and the decisions they made in what they included in scenes from marketing to lighting and greenery。 Looking at all of the thought and care that went into designing the clickers？ I swooned。 Really， I spent 2 hours swooning as I savoured each page。 So thankful to my best friend for buying this for me for Christmas。 。。。more

I honestly loved looking at the art in this book， the process of creating the scenery， the storyline， and the characters。 The beginning and the end product and the journey between those two points。 All points are absolutely stunning and I am soooo glad I bought this book。 Really good for those who want to learn more about graphics game design while learning the history of this amazing game！

I love The Last of Us！ I like the Uncharted series more， but this game is amazing too。 The storyline is great and I love the friendship between Joel and Ellie。 Looking at how the game was made was absolutely fascinating。 I liked seeing how the look of Joel and Ellie evolved from the beginning concept to what is actually in the game。 Naughty Dog is clearly the gold standard when it comes to video games。 I don’t even like zombies that much and I loved this game。 （I’m also totally looking for that I love The Last of Us！ I like the Uncharted series more， but this game is amazing too。 The storyline is great and I love the friendship between Joel and Ellie。 Looking at how the game was made was absolutely fascinating。 I liked seeing how the look of Joel and Ellie evolved from the beginning concept to what is actually in the game。 Naughty Dog is clearly the gold standard when it comes to video games。 I don’t even like zombies that much and I loved this game。 （I’m also totally looking for that Easter egg in Uncharted 3！） 。。。more

Although I cannot play these games （I am both terrible at playing them and also they give me migraines） it does not stop me from admiring and appreciating the art that is created from them。 These books （as I think nearly all major games these days produce them） are testament to the fact that these games have production budgets similar to motion picture films。 They certainly share a lot of the production values - and as result a lot of additional material is created。 And so in born books like thi Although I cannot play these games （I am both terrible at playing them and also they give me migraines） it does not stop me from admiring and appreciating the art that is created from them。 These books （as I think nearly all major games these days produce them） are testament to the fact that these games have production budgets similar to motion picture films。 They certainly share a lot of the production values - and as result a lot of additional material is created。 And so in born books like this - and I for one really appreciate them。 Not only do you get to stop and appreciate part of the game you may not see （in my case ever） but also get to appreciate the work that went in to them， often in aspects you will never get to see after all like films how much material is cut before the final version。 In this book you get to see a lot of iterations of the various characters - how they evolved in to what they were in the game but also the process behind how they came about （as the artists experiment with how they want to them appear and what they are trying to portray in the process） As in often the case with these books the production quality is impressive - and to me reflects the respect and care that the studios and publishers put in these games and the material that is associated with them。 。。。more

While I love the videogame， I find that this art book isn't for me。 A lot of repetitive desings， and I would have loved more about the characters and story and less of the places which seem to be all over the book。 While I love the videogame， I find that this art book isn't for me。 A lot of repetitive desings， and I would have loved more about the characters and story and less of the places which seem to be all over the book。 。。。more

Beautiful。As a software engineer I always wanted to be part of the gaming industry， although life had different plans for me。 Nevertheless， my feelings towards gaming will never grow old。 Hell， I'm still playing games from the 90's with my SNES emulator on Linux （I successfully finished "Breath of Fire" for the millionth time a couple of weeks ago。 Don't get me started with "Chrono Trigger"）。 Ah， I feel so nostalgic now。 I wish I had more time to play video games like I used to， I guess I'll hav Beautiful。As a software engineer I always wanted to be part of the gaming industry， although life had different plans for me。 Nevertheless， my feelings towards gaming will never grow old。 Hell， I'm still playing games from the 90's with my SNES emulator on Linux （I successfully finished "Breath of Fire" for the millionth time a couple of weeks ago。 Don't get me started with "Chrono Trigger"）。 Ah， I feel so nostalgic now。 I wish I had more time to play video games like I used to， I guess I'll have to wait for my kid to grow up a little more and play whatever games and consoles they have in 10 years。"The Last of Us" is one of the best games I've ever played， the story line is amazing， solid game play， the graphics are breathtaking and the setting is one of my all-time favorites: a post-apocalyptic world。 No wonder why I enjoyed this little one so much， what an amazing art team！ 。。。more
