The games have to be partially installed on the console before playing, so storage is essential. If you buy games digitally, they can take up even more space on the drive included with your PlayStation.

A major motif of the game is that "life goes on"; [23] this is presented in a scene in which Joel and Ellie discover a herd of giraffes, which concept artist John Sweeney explained was designed to "reignite [Ellie's] lust for life" after her suffering following her encounter with David. [24] The infected, a core concept of the game, were inspired by a segment of the BBC nature documentary Planet Earth (2006), which featured the Cordyceps fungi. [22] Though the fungi mainly infect insects, taking control of their motor functions and forcing them to help cultivate the fungus, the game explores the concept of the fungus evolving and infecting humans, [b] as well as the direct results of an outbreak of this infection. [22] Argentine musician Gustavo Santaolalla composed and performed the score for The Last of Us. [28] a b c d Karmali, Luke (March 13, 2014). "BAFTA Games Awards 2014 Winners Announced". IGN.
