Watch it: The Last of Us documentary

How do shadows fall in a scene? Are the characters looking at each other when they speak?

These are the questions that Naughty Dog's developers asked themselves during the development of last year's The Last of Us.

The heart of The Last of Us is the attention to detail in every scene. It's the little things that make a character sit into the world or that translates good acting into a believable performance on screen.

Area 5, the team behind the successful Outerlands Kickstarter project, made this 90 minute documentary. Originally released as part of The Last of Us's season pass you can now watch the whole thing on YouTube.

The programme also talks about how much work went into making the player understand the feelings and motivations of the characters.

Bruce Straley, the gameplay director says "What are the things that we can do on the joystick to make you feel the same way that these [sic] characters' going to feel when we get to this next pinch point in th story?"


But wait there's more. Left Behind, the single-player story DLC for The Last of Us released on . The production values here aren't quite as high, but if you're looking for more Last of Us here you go:
