No there aren't, there's very few of them, and they look noticeably worse than the prerendered stuff, mostly because of the animation which is just not at the same level. I loves me some Uncharted but let's not post bullshit here.

First video I've found after the beach scene, almost all of that is real time, except maybe the last one. Same on the next two videos and I'm not going to check them all. You seem to forget how many minor cutscenes there are or something :/ It's pretty easy to tell them apart when you're playing the game.

But we've already argued over this so I won't say anything else.

Sorry my man, but you're sadly clueless. :p All of that is video.

If it's in the cut-scene viewer, it's video. If it gives you the option to "skip movie" when you pause it, it's video. If it lets turn on subtitles by pressing the square button, it's video. And most egregiously, if it has giant freaking macroblocking artifacts, it's video.

After seeing the actress, I think the character looks more like her than Ellen Page. Especially the finer details, like in the eyes and mouth.

Though, overall... my first thought was Page. More I see the character, the more and more my brain differentiates between the two.

Well, the setting is overdone stuff, but being Naughty Dog, i'm sure a great game will come out of it, in the end.
Also the graphics are already amazing, though i'm not sure how much more juice they extract from the PS3's HW.

ROFL! the first games to use Cordyceps as a source for mutating humans,their skulls plit open and have mushrooms grow out of their fucking head and its a generic zombie game?

I am very interested in this game since I kinda had the same idea for an interactive graphic novel I was working on a year ago, but dropped due to lack of time. I hope we see other animals to, all infected with this fungi.

Also to those who wonder why they can't cure it. fungi infection are one of the hardest things to cure, since anti fungi substances damage your immune system.

Firstly, while their use of cordyceps is cool, the outcome on humans looks nothing like cordyceps, and mushroom growth is wrong for the phylum. And they are supposed to be tissue eating, body spread infections. So while their base is cool, the turn out, as of this brief video, is no more creative than Resident Evil 4 parasites or Dead Space demonic alien necromorph. But still, I found the design creepy and not generic at all.

But, again: as of this video, they present predatorial behaviour and what appear to be basic animals instincts, which again, is nothing that out of the ordinary, and again doesn't match the source. And they are not dead, or they are living dead, which again is either strange or common.

A thing that interests me is how will ND handle the infection. Will the infected barf spores? Will he bite (please god no, that would be the lamiest and stupidiest solution ever)? Will he shake his head and make the spores fly?

I don't know why people are discussing the monsters, they are not generic, but they are no innovations either.

The important thing is how will ND utilize them. Will they be fearsome? Will contacts with them be constant? How will they present danger?

And thankfully, we are talking about Naughty Dog, amazing developers. So I'm quite confident they will handle it very well. Even though I already expressed my disappointment because of the monster, having ND's name on it makes me a bit more cheerful about.

I find it really suspicious when the girl stomps on the blood at the beginning of the trailer that she doesn't leave any footprints on the carpet as she dashes away. Ghosts + zombies confirmed?

I kinda agree with Dennis with regard to more open area. There were part of Uncharted 3 that i wanted to explore which i could not. I hope this game have much more openness than Uncharted 3.

The other thing that struck me is that the infected are potentially quite blind. That could make for some interesting mechanics.

This thread blew up over night, wow.

And yes, the game does look highly promising. No doubt about that. ND having 2 teams is better for gamers.

I always love the Naughty Dog game trailer threads going to shit.

It's in-game, no it's not, it's in-engine, no, it's using in-game assets, no it's not it's pre rendered, no it's not look at these screenshots, No! looks at the shadows at x300 zoom.....

Piss boring!

thanks!

edit: sorry but, where do I find this? nothing on search... and don't see it.

FlyingTeacup said:
like the concept and trailer.

but this is the super SURPRISING surprise game? meh.
Click to expand...

You don't think the reveal that ND has been working on a new IP for two years, and has an entire second team dedicated to it, and has been kept secret is a big surprise?

No, it's not real time. It's using the game engine, and assets, but rendered at higher resolutions, much like Uncharted pre-rendered cutscenes.
Click to expand...

wut

this is wrong. The Uncharted cinematics are all rendered at 720p with the same image quality(jaggies and such) as the gameplay visuals. Differences are that shadow resolution is of perfect quality, higher quality skin shaders, better lighting quality probably and model complexity is upgraded for everyone especially the NPCs - the texture resolution on the characters is four times higher in cinematics:

I always work in double the resolution being used, so my work files are usually 2048x¬-4096. The cinematic resolution is about 2048x1024 and the in-game texture measures 512x1024.

Man, I can't wait for a Naughty Dog game on PS4. Even those little differences make a huge impact.

How is this not surprising or were you expecting a new franchise announcement from Naughty Dog a month after they released U3?
Click to expand...

Yeah, even after the teaser was found in U3, nobody was thinking it would be ND. The fact that they managed to keep the news of them setting up a whole new studio for this long was impressive.

You win this round, Geoff.

Does the girl seriously have to look like Ellen Paige? I really hope they alter that. My nightmare is that character being some kind of derivative of Juno...

The trailer was pretty awesome though!
