It has about the same framerate as those screenshots.

Completely agree with this and I really don't expect it to be close to UC gameplay-wise.
Only that one of the best developers in the biz, having just released a game, has announced a new IP this late in the generation that they've been working on secretly. And it looks amazing
whats shocking is you didnt figure it out somehow

Obviously I don't know what the game is about. My reply was my gut reaction to what I saw and the similarity to Enslaved, overgrown nature cities, art style, male/female duo partnership with one being a weak link. (I happened to like Enslaved).
The Uru Buros Virus reaches Racoon City, oh wait.....
Wonder if it will actually be survival horror and not just Nathan Drake with a beard starring zombies.

Since Arne is around might as well ask:
Who's writing the story?

Maybe they'll have some zombie ninjas.
What a GENIUS idea! I even love the name. Make this ND!
Actually, it's a nice sign that it's actually real-time on a PS3 to show the non-believers
you mean the game is still in development? god that's bullshit they're gonna miss the release date. fucking naughty dog. god.
omg that was so cool i want it right now omg. ellie is adorable and awesome :3

Is there a second team doing this or the Uncharted team is working on this?
The game is two years into development. Definitely a second team, at least to begin with.
Really hope it ISN'T open-world.
Would hate for ND to go the boring open-world route and also have to impact their incredible graphics.
Confirmed earlier that ND officially have 2 teams, with 1 working on UC3 and the other on TLoU for the last two years.

On a second look there's actually a fair bit of shimmering and 'realtime' artifacts around the place. So I BELIEVE.
I just hope the fancy camera effects, the blur etc. is in-game too.
The animation on the dead guy when she turns him over is great...the way his lip flops etc.
Yeah well I don't like corridor interactive movie games with input lag, ND doing something different this Gen would be nice.

With ND having 2 teams and still making what is probably a quality product I am just mind blown. I did have some not so nice things to say about UC3, but that's only because there were just so many good things the bad ones are more noticeable. Personally my game of the year was UC3 so seeing Naughty Dog with something new already has got me hyped.
And arne is in the thread whoo!
And arne is in the thread whoo!
so i get that all this footage is from the engine, and that's definitely very impressive, but is it like the uncharted 2 (dunno if uncharted 3 does this, haven't played it) movies where they are in-engine renders that were touched up? cause this almost looks too good to be true.
I'd argue that UC3 offers some of the most open and tactically diverse shooting segments in any shooter out there. The ship graveyard segment in particular. About the farthest thing from a linear 'corridor interactive movie' as you could possibly get.

This looks absolutely great, Naughty Dog somehow managed to put a filter on it, to achieve a near perfect cg look. Bar the occasional AA coming through and the amount of geometry very doable for the PS3 the presentation is Uncharted territory.
Very interested for some gameplay, this is a 2012 title?

Cutscenes in the Uncharted games use in-game art assets. Only the lighting and shadow quality are increased.
Edit: Actually, in regard to in-game and cutscene character models, in Drake's Fortune they were identical, while in Among Thieves only Drake's in-game model was identical to his cutscene model. I'm not sure what the case is with Uncharted 3.

No one knows for sure. Some are speculating that it is because we now know that it's been in development for two years. But nothing is confirmed at this point.
When is Sony holding their Holiday Showcase Event? I doubt we'll get any new info there, but there's always a chance that someone will slip up.

They went open world on PS2 and it didn't affect their graphics any
you didn't answer the question though
LOl, those same people probably bought dead island too, which is as cliche a zombie tale as its going to get.
But seriously? It's a ps3 exclusive, it's by one of the best developers outthere, and it's looking freaking next gen. Whatelse are the haters gonna bitch about lol.
AA and AF are the same as in-game, if that's what you're asking with "touched up".
Obviously I can't answer your question as it applies to The Last of Us since all we have is this trailer; I was just expanding on your understanding of ND's cutscene practices with Uncharted.

The Last of Us is such a generic name. The tech seems nice though.

If this game has Move support then Jeff (proper spelling) took my name for nothing.
So far this looks great but it wont take too many "run towards the player with zero consideration towards self-preservation and tactics" for the game to become a slog.

The point is that you won't see the same level of visual fidelity in Uncharted 2 gameplay that you see in the Uncharted 2 movies. So I was wondering if we were seeing this same kind of thing in this new game.
This guy lol. Anyway how could naughty dog possibly handle another production of this scale parrallel to UC's development?

Despite my snark I like the name.
I don't think it's generic at all. Anything with "dead" in it is generic though. Left 4 Dead, Dead Island, The Walking Dead, blah blah etc.

What sort of visual fidelity are you talking about? Resolution, AA, AF levels are identical in cutscenes as to gameplay and they share the same models, textures etc.
Wait, where was it confirmed that the game was worked on for two years already?
Usually pre-production can take up to 8-12 months depending on the game, with only a small core team, so I think it's been in full production for a year. If this is true, and if they can leverage the expertise they've accumulated from the UC3 team, the release window COULD be 2012.
However, if they are coming up with a lot of innovative gameplay or new gameplay mechanics they are unfamiliar with, a longer dev cycle wouldn't be surprising to me.
2013 is too far away though, and who knows what state PS3 will be in by then.

Really? Lol, this thread ridiculous.
And my point is that the differences are negligible, and since ND approached cutscenes virtually identically across all 3 Uncharted games, it is very likely that is also the case with The Last of Us; but we simply don't know for sure since it's early days.
Yeah, me too. Unfortunately as soon as I see those creatures scurrying around growling and shit it kills it.
