Joel is based on Rooster Cogburn not Lee Everett. Ellie is based on Mattie not Clementine. It's basically the story of True Grit set in a zombie apocalypse universe, with some political and philosophical undertones thrown in to boot.
It isn't a perfect copy of any previous story but it makes references to many different types of survival stories.

Yup. As all stories do. Pretty much every fantasy story since Tolkien contains some of that DNA.
The line between influence, inspiration and imitation can be a fine one.
I know, they are both zombie games and you can only go so far in innovation with zombies now a days, and I do not think it's a rip off, that is just dumb, that is like saying Bioshock Infinite's Elizabeth is a rip off of Clementine just because they are both great female characters, people are just dumb this generation or just so not care about anything, I swear.
The holy man has spoken the truth but the last of us is more of a game relying on your shooting skills and the game didn't really get me to like the characters unlike the walking dead, gotta luv twd FOR LIFE throws last of us game out the window
i'll say it
the last of us is a total rip off of twd..
man and girl check
man has dodgy past check
story elements / choices check
'walkers' check
dodgy characters good and bad check
Well then again the last of us was 20 years into the infection where as the walking dead the outbreak just happens not to mention both seasons are just a year and three months into the infection and in is in the US. or it could just be an easter egg
