But... but... I wanted the demo of Last of Us. OK, too bad for you Sony, that way I can't decide to purchase the final product later or never... maybe later.

Get early access by purchasing God of War: Ascension.
Naughty Dog's heavily anticipated PlayStation 3 exclusive The Last of Us will be getting a demo, Sony has announced.
Additionally, first access to the Last of Us demo will be given to owners of the upcoming God of War: Ascension.
The Last of Us demo will not actually be available with God of War: Ascension when it launches, but an entry on the main menu will detail how players can access it as and when it becomes available.
No further information on the demo was made available, although Sony said Naughty Dog would detail the contents at a later date on the PlayStation Blog.
God of War: Ascension will be released in North America on March 12, ahead of the worldwide May 7 release date for The Last of Us.
Naughty Dog confirmed a multiplayer mode for The Last of Us in December. For more information on The Last of Us, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

When will the early acess end? I hate demos included with games, you never can tell how many fans of the games buy it for the game, or are buying it for the demo...
It's all about them making us believe they are doing us a favor these days....
.. problem is, most people seem to be falling for it.
Promo for a promo.. shocking.
1 Like don't care about the demo because it will contain spoiler .... I'll wait for the real thing ... 2 days after me 39 bday

@PSYCHOV3N0M Then you probably shouldn't be interested in Last of Us because it's going to be more of the same.
Every game doesn't need a tacked on multiplayer. I would just work on making the single player better.
I am excited for another Naughty Dog game. The original Jak and Daxter HD remake was on sale so I bought it yesterday. I then proceeded to play the entire game and get 100% with the Platinum trophy in one sitting. I couldn't figure out how much of my play was driven by how good the game is and how much from nostalgia, but it was a fun time.
I really do love GOW and all ... but this one, I'm not sure with it's multiplayer aspect ... why put multi in everything when it is always the same crap over and over again ??? ... I will wait before byuing this game and The Las Of Us ... kind of intrigue me but I'm not sure. I didn't like Uncharted at all and at first when I saw that game I thought it was a new Uncharted with more violence ... I just hope the demo will be avalaible after a few weeks to see if it will be something else than a Uncharted 3.0 with M+ violence with tacked-on mindless multiplayer or if it will be an interesting survival game with tacked-on mindless multiplayer.
2 Like @Coco_pierrot have you seen or played accension multiplayer.... Its amazing. Play it and your opinion will change very fresh, new idea and very fun
@Coco_pierrot @Evilbunz You should had played the beta, was the best multyplayer experience i had, soo... unique
@Coco_pierrot @Evilbunz you should it's amazing awesome incredible.....yes i'm doing hyperball here
but it's amazing
16 Like ps3 exclusive!..definitely getting the Last Of Us no doubt and i dont need a demo to know its going to be good
2 Like @marting265 hey it's by naughty dog and i have never known them do a bad game
plus it looks like it has some "uncharted d.n.a" in it to so that should make getting this game a no brainer
1 Like @MajinSquall @marting265 Uncharted 'DNA' I hope that doesn't mean it is "Oh look.. a empty room"... "Oh.. there is now tons of people"
@shadowdoggg @MajinSquall @marting265 As much as I like uncharted that's the entire formula for the game and it got annoying as hell as the series progressed. Empty room, room with guns, empty room, room with guns. Got really old especially in the first game.
4 Like By the way Gamespot... The site looks 100 percent better than last year. Keep it going. The edit feature is what makes this site different from others.
3 Like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynSJ5Fl2bW8
for any one didn't see the new trailer for god of war ascension
5 Like i think this is just to make a big sell, cause i have noted that most of the people including those who are old GoW players (also myself) are NO longer interested in playing ascension (neither am i )
2 Like @kratospetei think you need to watch this and hold your jaw
because it will drop
%s
this is just a teaser wait for the full trailer very soon
BTW i have GOWA demo the combat is way different than GOW3
the combat and gfx are huge step over GOW3
and GOW have much more pre orders than the last of us
GOWA will sell shit ton
nd they are putting the last of us demo with it because it's new ip
and that's a very smart way to market a new ip
put a demo for it with a well knowen video game that sell huge numbers
@Lecksus i mean it play much better and much fater along with alot of new moves and magic
and the gfx is real step above GOW3
Wait...I thought GOW3 was a outstanding game, why wouild they change that? I wanted more of it!
Unless its just the little things, I'll understand that.
@Lecksus yeah i know some ppl here think the game is more of the same
but it far from being the same
i have the SP demo it play nothing like god of war
@shadiezz2012 I have to agree with @kratospete... I played the demo of GOWA... dude it sucks.... royally.
1 Like @shadiezz2012 @awheaten Yeah and if you have a youtube spot let me know I'll add you to my list and hit you with likes.
@awheaten @shadiezz2012 good man..if you want to know any thing about the new improved combat style or the gfx let me know
as i told you i own the SP demo
1 Like @shadiezz2012 Yeah I seen it earlier. I'm HYPE about the story mode. I like GOW. Matter of fact I might just play through all of them just to refresh the story. But yeah I seen your vids.
@awheaten @shadiezz2012 oh cool
i have the Single Player demo if you want to know any thing ask
@shadiezz2012 @awheaten Yeah I'm sorry the BETA. I'm gonna get the game no matter if it sucks or not. I'm Sony ALL THE WAY. But I thought the beta sucks. Just being honest.
@awheaten @shadiezz2012 are you talking about the demo or the beta ?!
it's not the game fault you didn't use the training room first
and should i put links from IGN,GT,GI,N4G,Neogaf
that show how much praise the game is getting
not because a few ppl in this comment section agree with you mean all the other sites agree with you
@shadiezz2012 @awheaten Call it what you want; it sucks to me. But, I will get the game. But the demo did suck. And if there was a way to train, I didn't see it. IMO only. It sucked pretty badly. Also, I'm not the only one who thought so either.
2 Like @awheaten @shadiezz2012 what ?! did you even played the beta ?!
the game let you train untill you are ready
and then you go to play with others
and it share nothing with SB what the hell are you talking about ??! it's more of power stone
and i only died two times in it but after that been kicking ass
so it must be you suck at playing...so you call it suck
and yeah it's cool i'm all for the SP my self but the online is really good
@shadiezz2012 @awheaten Dude as soon as I join into the game... I died. And, it looks like smash brothers, which I hate. And when you die they don't give you any real player tips on how you died or what you could have done better or even some instructions on how to play. I just found it annoying. With that being said, I'm going to buy the game for single player only.
@awheaten @shadiezz2012
how it sucks ?! ..and he's right because ??!!
the gameplay not the same it much better
and alot faster
the gfx is much better
and this is just a demo the gfx will get even better after that
the story you can't judge it by a demo
the online is pure awesome
almost every site is loving every thing about the new gow game
i think you need to watch this and hold your jaw before you watch
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88K_GexTtDk
and i have GOW demo it play way different than the older GOW games
the combat and the gfx are just a step above GOW3 in every possible way
and you are going to see the full GOWA trailer soon
and the game aready have much more pre order than the last of us
they are doing this because GOW will sell tons and tons while TLOU is new IP so it's good move to include the demo with well knowen game like GOWConversation powered by Livefyre
