The Last of Us star Troy Baker has teased a return with legendary PlayStation studio, Naughty Dog.<\/p>\n
The moment it first arrived on the PlayStation 3 in 2013,\u00a0The Last of Us<\/p>\n <\/em>\u00a0not only sat firmly alongside the\u00a0Uncharted<\/em>\u00a0series as one of\u00a0Naughty Dog\u2019s\u00a0best properties. And in achieving such highs, it also quickly became considered to be one of the best video games of all time.<\/p>\n Universally praised across the board, the positivity was reflected by Metacritic scores of 95 from critics and 9.1 from the audience, earning the ‘Must-Play’ accolade.<\/p>\n Set in the years 2033\/34, humanity is on the brink of extinction thanks to a deadly cordyceps fungal outbreak that turned people into horrific creatures with a sole purpose of infecting, taking over, and eventually killing every human unfortunate enough to have contact with it.<\/p>\n At the heart of\u00a0The Last of Us\u2019 story is Joel Miller (Troy Baker), a once-loving father, turned brutal mercenary following a tragic event during the early hours of the Cordyceps outbreak. Then a young girl named Ellie Williams (Ashley Johnson), thought to be humanity\u2019s saviour, finally gave Joel something to live for.<\/p>\n Troy Baker also played another character in a different Naughty Dog series, namely, Samuel Drake in\u00a0Uncharted 4: A Thief\u2019s End<\/em>, brother of Nathan Drake, played by Nolan North.<\/p>\n While Naughty Dog hasn’t officially announced\u00a0The Last of Us Part III<\/p>\n <\/em>, not only do we all strongly suspect it will be released at some point, but Naughty Dog’s chief,\u00a0Neil Druckmann, has teased\u00a0as much.<\/p>\n Before I proceed, I will be going into vague\u00a0<\/p>\n In an attempt to be as vague as possible, Joel is unlikely to be in\u00a0<\/p>\n Yet, following an\u00a0interview\u00a0with Comicbook.com, Troy Baker has teased that he\u2019s working with Naughty Dog once more. Assuming it\u2019s not for\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s entirely possible that Troy Baker could return as Sam in either a sequel to\u00a0Uncharted 4: A Thief\u2019s End<\/p>\n <\/em>\u00a0or a spin-off for the series. He may even feature in a yet-to-be-announced game.<\/p>\n However, Troy Baker\u2019s next return with Naughty Dog is in the new IP,\u00a0Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet<\/p>\n <\/em>. But rather than playing a main character, he\u2019ll seemingly instead play a supporting character.<\/p>\n When asked if he and Neil Druckmann butt heads on-set for\u00a0Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet<\/p>\n <\/em>, Troy Baker replied: \u201cWe did two weeks ago, man. Neil and I will always, it\u2019s our vibe. We just love to butt up against each other.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were doing a table read, and I was literally like, \u2018Why are you giving me shit right now? I\u2019m asking you a question!\u2019 And everybody else is like, \u2018Our mom and dad are fighting, are we still going to Disneyland?\u2019 We\u2019re fine. We\u2019re fine.\u201d<\/p>\n At the time of writing,\u00a0Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet<\/em> does not have a released date, but it is confirmed for PlayStation 5. We\u2019ll keep you updated once its release date drops.<\/p>\n In a world of over-the-top, staged proposals, Paulie Connell just delivered a masterclass in heartfelt, chaotic, and utterly perfect romance. The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Dolores Catania is engaged, and the story of how her longtime love popped the question\u2014in the middle of an Apple Store, with a fake PEOPLE interview as a decoy\u2014is a tale of pure, unscripted magic.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The plan was elaborate. Dolores was told she had a PEOPLE interview for a new medication she was promoting. After getting full hair and makeup, the meeting was “canceled.” Seizing the opportunity, Paulie insisted they finally go get her new iPhone. “I kept saying, ‘Just go get it for me! Why do you need me?'” Dolores recalled. But Paulie was relentless, inventing a story about the “only one iPhone Pro Max in the area” being held for her.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n At the Apple Store in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey\u2014the very spot where they first met nearly five years ago\u2014Paulie’s nerves began to show. “He was sweating so bad, his T-shirt was soaked, his face was beet red,” Dolores laughed. “He started saying these sweet, beautiful things to me out of nowhere and I was like, ‘Paul, are you okay?'”<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n As an employee led them to the exact table where their love story began, Paulie’s mind was racing. “I was so nervous, my knees where knocking,” he confessed. “I’m like, ‘What are you doing? Don’t start getting sad, you’re meant to be happy!'”<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n While he was trying to deliver a heartfelt speech, Dolores was still completely oblivious, even joking to the employee, “Wouldn’t it be funny if we got engaged here?”<\/span><\/p>\n Then, he pulled the box from his pocket. That’s when reality hit. “I immediately said yes,” Dolores gushed. The ring, a show-stopping 11-carat centerpiece from John Anthony Jewelers, was a testament to his devotion. “Go big or go home,” Dolores laughed.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n This wasn’t the first ring Paulie had bought. He revealed he’d purchased a stone years ago, but after getting to know Dolores better, he realized it was the “opposite of what I got.” This new ring, which he’d had for over a year and a half, was perfect.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The proposal was a symphony of sentimental details. The date, November 10th, was the same day Dolores had moved in with him four years prior. The celebration dinner was at Rocco’s steakhouse, the site of their very first date. “There’s not a thing this guy didn’t think of,” Dolores said.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n For years, Bravo fans have relentlessly asked, “When is he going to propose?” Now, they have their answer. In the most unexpected of locations, surrounded by iPhones and unsuspecting shoppers, Dolores Catania’s next chapter has officially begun. And as Paulie laughed, “I’m just glad Dolores won’t have to answer a stupid question anymore.”<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Last of Us star Troy Baker has teased a return with legendary PlayStation studio, Naughty Dog.
