Description: Naughty Dog's 'The Last of Us' is one of the most revered titles on the Playstation platform. While the player is tasked with guiding Joel and Ellie through post-apocalyptic America, the underlying AI systems help bring the rest of the drama to life. In this episode, we explore the AI systems within the game. Not just enemy characters such as the Hunters and Infected but also the supporting characters within the story and most notably Ellie herself. Plus all the weird and interesting things that were tried, tested and discarded during development.
