They were planning to add Sucker Punch there afaik. Maybe, its due to that, or maybe it's undergoing a redesign, who knows?

Im slowly opening up to this idea about cannibalistic mushroom people... its a nice twist on regular zombies.

Also hopefully it's just a one-off game. I feel that developers aren't aware they can do this anymore.

A PSblog post should come once this show is finished.
*High-fives*Hopefully they introduce a third character.

Well you have unrealistic expectations... so I guess, get used to disappointment.
They might do some interesting things with the game (hopefully quite a bit) but it's best to remain grounded.
No one in the industry has been able to do anything truly interesting/innovative with survival, without falling back on some type of heavy combat focus.
For instance, it would be really awesome for a game to give you like two bullets for you gun (like The Road) and build crazy tension... but it's never gonna happen. This is just a limitation of game design right now. Things might sound great in your head, but they don't work in a actual game. Or at least people haven't figured out how to make them work.
Until someone comes along and breaks the mold... we're stuck with traditional game design. That's why Naughty Dog is really amazing, because they find a lot of ways to improve the normally mundane. They take narrative and characters and some dynamic action-platforming sequences have been something they do that no one else can/has.
Maybe they can reinvent the wheel... but it's unfair and unrealistic to expect them to.

Not the same voice. Who's deaf now?
I agree that the face is pretty similar keeping in mind the vast array of possibilities for a face.
I'd be ok with this. All I would want is survival-based gameplay ala Dead Space and Resident Evil. Scripted can be a good thing sometimes, so long as it's not Call of Duty levels of scripted.
Honestly, they might as well be zombies.
Fungus monsters that look like zombies ~ Zombies.
I like the post apocalyptic concept, but I wish they stayed away from zombies. Robots would have been cool, though I guess then it'd basically be Enslaved.
One day I hope they do that fantasy game they were talking about. Better than zombies...
Eh, it's just me. What others consider to be minute differences always seem so glaring to me.

Looks promising. Hope it's a bit more free roaming then the uncharted games tho. So is Ellen Page also the voice actor of Ellie? Naughty Dog models their characters to their voice actors and the name resemble also. Nolan -> Nathan, Emily -> Elena, Claudia -> Chloe. Sooo Ellen -> Ellie?

At this time I don't know how you got that from that description, if ND wanted to do a game exactly as their previous game they would have made UC4 instead of a new IP like in this case.
I see where you're coming from but I'll wait before making such judgement, it just seems out of place with the info available to us.
Hopefully they introduce a third character.
Haha
I know. A lot of people are. Just look at the near endless cups of jism exploded over Uncharted 2 and 3. These people don't care if they're not really playing something, if skill requirements are removed, if it's only an illusion. And that's OK.
I'm just saying it's something I would consider bad. If you remove skill requirements (in Naughty Dog's case, with excessive scripting and platforming handholding) you remove tension, and a survival horror game without tension is basically worthless.
I could be wrong. I hope so! I'm just not going to be optimistic until I see otherwise. The trailer immediately suggests another cinematic focus.

The reason why the Uncharted series looks so good is because they are so linear.

Monkeys have legs and arms, they must be humans.
Fungi man did not look like a zombie.

She's too big right now to do games... it would be a bigger surprise than the game reveal.

Where did they get the time? Seriously...
I guess this means there is no more Uncharted lol, if the newspaper was in Uncharted 3, and this is set in the same universe, that means Drake and Elena and Sully are all dead from the plague lolz

Just let the people who make their purchase decisions based on extremely shallow criteria believe whatever they want.
it kinda sounded like Ellen Page though, seriously

a second full team was secretly making the game. and also. ND can stop with adding weird fantasy stuff in the UC series. lol.
it's okay. when the full features are listed they'll be back. they always come back.

...... they have 2 teams now, dude.....
A bit over the top.
Uncharted games are at their core still shooters. The skill requirement is in the shooting just like any other platformer. Also UC3 had some genuinely difficult puzzles. Sure platforming is easy but there are very few platformers where its difficult.

No, but in essence, he was a zombie. The fast kind.
They are human beings who have lost their free will and are trying to kill you. That falls under the umbrella term "zombie."
Hopefully they introduce a third character.
Dale face!
I want a hard ass like Shane as well. I'm not convinced by bearded Drake.

They're fungus monsters/humans with zombie-like behaviour m'kay?
Walks like a zombie, acts like a zombie.......but since it has a mushroom head, then it's obviously Super Mario Bros.
:/
You say that like Drake isn't bearded Drake.

Have you ever watched The Road? Or seen Contagion this year? That's what I expected.
I believe in Naughty Dog pulling a 28 days (years lol) later, but still. It could steer off monsters, in my eyes.
And maybe it will resemble something of a survival game like Silent Hill 1 (and even a bit of Resident Evil 1), which I would find very cool, especially with those graphics.
But as of now, I feel like it will take a lot of magic to steer away from the current trend of monster killing. But happily, ND has the talent to make it happen.
@Evolved1: Yes, perfectly put. I've came to terms with that. It's just that with all the teasing and expectation, I thought this was finally the chance to make a seat-eating ass-shutting game. As I said it's my fault my dissapointment and hate.

I'm not sure how you reached that conclusion. Going by uncharted events like the convoy sections, the ship chase, the train, etc. ND is one of the few developers who can entwine actual game play with set pieces. It's one of the many reasons those games have such critical acclaim across the industry.
Zombies are slow, they don't act like zombies. The sound like monsters or zombies or anything sinister in movies or games. So yeah, you're wrong.

Nope, but these creatures seem to be in every meaningful sense. And that's fine. You're not going to convince any zombie haters to change their minds by denying they are zombies.
