The Last of Us (Naughty Dog): Hold One Second

Apparently yes. What are you talking about? Of course they are rendered on PCs.

Did you miss the "from a PLAYSTATION 3" part on the trailer?

PS3 Dev unit. Arne once said they capture x2 renders directly from a dev unit as well, pretty likely they render cutscenes the same way. They're rendered using the game engine after all.
 
So pretend it's not a zombie. All of those zombie games have zombies with completely different gameplay characteristics-- fast moving, slow moving, intelligent, dumb, lumbering, agile, etc.

The zombies in this trailer don't even look like the zombies in a lot of games that have zombies. Call it a fungus monster if it changes things.


Or just, 'the infected'.
 
So they're going to "tell a character driven story" featuring two people who "work together to survive their journey across what remains of the United States"

There's no way this isn't linear. Will probably be like that Enslaved game.
 
She should be the playable character. Imagine a whole game being like the Bella levels in Siren (ok, she can keep the knife :P ).

I hope both characters are not together the whole time as I'm not sure how this will affect the atmosphere in such kind of game... (imagine stupid NPC standing around/ never-ending escort mission etc.). It worked in Enslaved etc, but that had a different tone.


Crazy that ND/Sony could hide all this even with the hint being present in UC3.
 
Topic going to fast!

First info from the youtube vid

The Last of Us is a genre-defining experience that blends survival and action elements to tell a character driven story about a population decimated by a modern plague. Abandoned cities are being reclaimed by nature and the remaining survivors are killing each other for food, weapons and whatever they can get their hands on. Joel, a ruthless survivor, and Ellie, a brave teenage girl who is wise beyond her years, must work together to survive their journey across what remains of the United States.

I don't understand the complaints about the zombie genre. Unless you've played every or most of those games I don't see a reason for complaining. The fact that thos games exist means absolutely nothing.

No there is a big difference. They captured press shots at twice the resolution. Just screenshots. The cinematics are rendered on PCs. It would be completely illogical to do so on the PS3 when the engine/editor is running right there on their PCs where they can use whatever resource they want to do whatever they want. Big difference from taking shots from the in-game parts at higher resolution.

This. Stop calling them fucking zombies already. Jeez.

The fact that Naughty Dog is doing this just makes it that much more better. I love the whole concept of it, but that trailer was somewhat underwhelming. It doesn't have that "it" factor yet for me... good thing this is probably really early in development.

Props to Naughty Dog for coming up with such an original doomsday scenario though. I'm excited more for the premise and the story rather than the game itself at this point.
 
"absolutely amazing developer" - check.

"I'm shocked everyday that none of this has leaked" - check.

"you won't believe it" - check. I'm still in disbelief that it's Naughty Dog.

"Massive Announcement" - well...not really but maybe, i dunno. I guess so?

Geoff redeemed.

I'm fine with it being zombie/whatever based. I'm interested to see how they approach it.
 
I doubt ND will be doing any more Uncharted games. If they are working on PS4 right now they're working on another new IP.

ND is not going to drop UC them having 2 teams now is even more reason why they can do more.
They can do new IP plus UC or the Last Of Us if it turn big like UC.
 
How the hell can you hate a game based off of seeing a 2 minute trailer when it won't be released for a year or so.

Come on people.

And to answer your other questions.
it's a video game dude

Simple, I'm not hating it's gameplay or story development. I'm hating (and that's my fault for having high hopes with close to zero information) on the actual premise.
I truly expected a realistic take on survival after a pandemic cataclysm. Where tension would be constructed because other humans are doing anything to survive. Much like The Road.
But then in the premise he dispatches a human but there is nothing to it, the real tension were... monsters. Which totally went against my hopes.

And to your answer... again, for the premise of the teaser, I was expecting something realistic. I'm totally fine with Uncharted solutions for the unnatural. That doesn't mean games can't take it self seriously, and have grounded construction for events.
 
I wasn't saying anything about the games quality (its amazing). I was just referring to general sentiment that we don't really need another Uncharted right now and would rather them work on something new. Everytime i've heard it discussed on a podcast someone has brought it up.
 
Trying to cash in on the popularity garnered by that Dead Island trailer, eh ND? We need more tongue-in-cheek Dead Rising-esque zombie games rather than this serious bullshit. They should make a game out of Zombieland.

Yup. I had absolutely no faith that the announcement would live up to the hype, but it did. Amazing.

Video game enemies:

1. People
2. Monsters

Last of Us goes for number 2. I don't see how it even matters what type of monsters they are supposed to be. What matters is how it plays.

this sounds like the game I wanted "I am Alive" to be when it was originally announced. But really with what Naughty Dog is now....I don't trust that synopsis. I really really hope that this is survival horror and not just a shoot-fest like the Uncharted series.

have you played L4D series?
 
Not bad, I like it. If the focus is on narrative and story it has my attention, which says a lot since I'm not really into the zombies. The survival element really does it for me
 
So, based upon UC, will this have a Co-op focus as well? Would be interesting to have characters that have different skills and abilities that you have to use to survive.

So it can be five hours? I love zombie land but it's like an hour and ten minutes long. Bill Murray redeems it
 
Props to Naughty Dog for coming up with such an original doomsday scenario though. I'm excited more for the premise and the story rather than the game itself at this point.

Haha. Call me jaded, but it's not really an original post-apoc story idea. Doesn't stop it from looking very exciting though.
 
Yeah, we need more female leads in games. And not like Bayonetta.

Absolutely, positively. We need way more female lead characters that aren't just male characters with different graphics.

Oh, and wow is Ellie so cute! (Not in that "sexy" way, to be clear.)

How is it different? A pre-rendered video IS a bunch of screenshots.
 
Yeah, because PS3 exclusives have a habit of looking a bit rubbish. I mean jeez, God of War, Killzone, Uncharted, the bar is set pretty low right?


wow you sure inferred a lot from my post

i have a non-shitty PC so that's where my standards lie, though, if you want the life story. last gen consoles all show their cracks every day.
