If it's 'open' as Arkham Asylum that would be great. I don't think the graphics will allow them to go any larger than that.
Please don't be as boringly scripted as U3 though is my only wish; U2 directer is a good start though.
Not really... unless you are awful at wasting it. Which could be said about any shooter
.Everything on youtube is 30 fps.

The amount of people jumping to conclusions in this thread is uncanny. Skipping it based on an announce trailer haha.
Anyways, looks spectacular and can't believe we'll probably get 2 fantastic franchises from the Naughty Gods if this comes anywhere close to Uncharted quality.
Love the potential I Am Legend / The Road vibe from this. Looks like it could bring the survival aspect back to survival horror games.
Everyone screaming zombies needs to rewatch the trailer or read some of the blurbs about the game. Seems like you'll be scrounging for supplies while trying to avoid both other survivors and the infected-types.
From the blurb about nature encroaching back in the cities, the infected could be caused by something similar to the fungus teased before the game was unveiled, nature trying to reclaim the world.
You know, The Happening but with less Wahlberg and Shyamalan lol.
Very excited and surprise of the year.

I got a very Road esque feel from the trailer which is a pretty fantastic direction for them to go in.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
With his reply he was able to downplay the Naughty Dog game, while implying that they ripped off Valve for their character... and the only thing he had to give up was admitting Zoe was the "most generic of the L4D survivors" which 1) isn't an admission that L4D is generic, 2) at best he only has to admit that the worst character was possibly generic.
it's fucking masterful.
I downloaded the 720p MP4 from GT.
Lots of people are sensible. Certain things excite certain people. I like games where survival is the objective and not a side consideration. I also like linearity, but this has nothing to do with anything at this point since I know nothing about the game.
I made a thread a long time ago complaining about the usage of "generic," so it's just sort of a trigger for me.
AA is tiny though. If this is really a cross-state adventure story, I don't know how they can do open world. At "most open," it would be linear with branching paths or secret places to explore. They could do something on the scale of San Andreas, but why? It doesn't make any sense for a game about survival.

Here's the original Uncharted trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01qqdtzmF-E
That's very much what the series turned into. It's heavy on the action with a few platforming sections. So, why are people so unwilling to believe that this trailer is also meant to give an indication of the tone and style that they're going for?

In a game like this, I wouldn't mind linearity. What I would mind is railroading. Theres a difference.
Sure, there might be ONE place you have to go, ONE objective you have to complete or whatever. But I'd like to be able to find that out on my own, allow me to go off the path I need to take to get to my objective and reward me for that.
Jeebus that looked amazing.
Me and my wife were practically bouncing off the walls during that trailer.
I've been a fan of ND since the Jak and Daxter series, and it's been great seeing them evolve as a developer, and push themselves. It's very surprising to see them introduce another new IP in one generation. Pretty sweet.
Easily one of my favorite developers these days.

I want to know how in the hell ND had the ability to get this game so far along with Uncharted 3's timeline.

Best response ever. This just about sums up the announcement and trailer for me.
I've posted that a couple pages ago.
Agreed, except for the part where reading some discussions about the game will make my skin crawl but I think that's pretty much a given.
I would also really like it if she didn't become Joel's moral guiding light, his shining purpose in this post-apocalyptic shit-storm because that theme is so damn overplayed it makes me sick. No noble sacrifice either.
To be clear I'm not against them needing each other to survive but she's got to bring more to the table than just being a scrappy youngling and cute girl.
this might be naughty gods first M rated game
Uncharted 2 should have been rated M, not sure how Sony gets away with a T rating on the Uncharted series.

Main character could truly get an arrow to the knee then.
Give me an example of a game you think would be a good model. I won't say whether or not I agree with it, but I'm curious.
Reminds me of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road
Will be buying day one and I don't need any more information/trailers/whatever.

Lack of excessive blood splatter.
Only Gamersyde and Eurogamer put out 60 fps videos.
You guys are making it hard to sleep with hype like this
OMG, they are NOT zombies!
The newspaper clipping that we saw clearly said it was an infection. The video of the ant confirms that this has to do with some sort of fungal infection. People are being infected, which turns them into these creatures.
I don't understand you people? Are you looking for something to complain about?

Well, other than initial settings, (by the trailer!!!) it missed the fragility of characters creating an even bigger will to survive, but that's a given because I'd wage it passed almost 30 years after the pandemic event, so both were raised to survive.
Which is a huge departure from the tone in The Road.

After accepting the fact that the monsters won't be going away
I was thinking a few things that might be cool if they make:- Since a long time has passed, hopefully the fauna reclaimed it's territory too.
- Scavenger has to be a big deal and inventory handling, since they are on a journey and supposedly walking.
- Only simple monsters, please. No "oh I retained my smartness and got super big and strong harhar resident evil 6" monsters.
- Brutal humans, make them aware, make them smart. They've been surviving for 30yrs too.
---
And if they are zombies or not:
By the trailer, they act as "modern zombies". Faster, thirstier, not that clunky. More predators than resilient slowpokes.
So yeah, sporeheads as of now, look a lot like modern zombies.
I believe there are 2 teams now at ND so the other one will be working on UC4 (same team that made UC3).

Man I have watched the trailer 4 times already. Gets better and better. Can't believe ND are trying for another IP. The balls on these guys.

I dunno...Maybe like MGS3, minus the stealth, ya know? Theres one thing you absolutely have to do, but you can go off here or there, go into this building or that building and find items. You can go and mess around if you want but the game won't advance until you go complete the objective you have to complete.
Or maybe something like Jak 1 where you have a series of objectives to complete in an area. That'd be cool too.
It's the genre of people trying to survive being eaten/killed by infectuious creatures. It's very much a zombie thing, but certainly not exclusive if you look at something like I Am Legend (vampires). I don't blame people for saying it's a "zombie" game, but I don't think it's fair to say games have done this exact game before. Films have maybe.
Haha thats awesome.

Yap... Great choice for this game. I can see myself protecting her, and relying on her to do her part. ^_^
She seems tough enough mentally but not Lara Croft like, which is great.
on a break until the PS4
If Naughty Dog can get 2 successful franchises with the PS3 then a PS4 will be a no brainer for some

I hated Enslaved, but I rather not jump the gun with Naughty Dog on board.
I look forward to downloading them and showing that they're also 30fps.
Do you find nothing misleading about isolating that...?It is massive jaggy town on the veins of the leaves in the SS of the OP. Pretty awful.

Insane For Sony
Framerate looks 'too' smooth, because it's a rock solid 30FPS with very good object based motion blur. Other than that, there's no interpolated 'shadow' frames created by the combination of two 60FPS frames, which is what you were thinking of. I checked some scenes frame by frame to be sure. Everything these guys make is hard to believe it's running on PS3 the first time you see it unveiled. That's pretty much their MO.
It's already 4AM. Fuck sleep.
