The Last of Us

Violence in video games is far more palatable, I think. We felt it was important to create an urgency for our protagonist that was not at all connected to Ellie. The whole story of the Last of Us is about Joel and Ellie. He created this kind of talks to Tommy via ham radio operators which made sense to us. It's a pedestrian borderline banal thing. When you are shooting live action with people, people, if someone gets shot in the street, people are going to scream and there's going to be blood and brains and horror.
