The Last of Us Demo (GoW:A Exclusive) Discussion Thread

This is going to be the Resident Evil 4 of this gen isn’t it? I can sense it. Gah, I'm gonna get out of this thread before I get tempted to download.


Just finished the demo.

This game is so good man. Naughty Dogs just reached some Nintendo tier shit with this. The music, the atmosphere, the gameplay, all amazing. I was scared out of my mind just walking in the building. The noise had me panicking over every little corner. Playing this game with headphones on is a MUST.

Naughty Dog reached Nintendo levels the second they gave us Uncharted 2......in some ways I actually feel they are even better than Nintendo.
 
"There was an error checking for Uncharted Drake's Fortune™ trophies. Checking... Found a small part of Drake's Fortune!\$20,000 added to wallet for earning a trophy in Uncharted Drake's Fortune™. Found the rest of Drake's Fortune!\$80,000 added to wallet for completing Uncharted Drake's Fortune™. Found Drake's Fortune!\$100,000 added to wallet for completing Uncharted Drake's Fortune™. No trophies found for Uncharted Drake's "Fortune™. Complete Uncharted Drake's Fortune™ to get the rest of the fortune. "

Awwww what about Drake's Deception and/or Among Thieves? :(
 
Don't know if this was mentioned before but I remember someone saying that they saw a firefly medal hanging on a tree outside the sky scrapper in the beginning portion of the demo. They said that they tried shooting it to no avail. I figured out that the only way to knock it down seems to be by using a brick or bottle and throwing it at the medal.

What the heck are you talking about? "Nintendo levels"???
 
Man, I only played the demo once and the tension in that last room was something else, will try different routs and methods tomorrow to see how the infected react to them.
Can't wait for the full game to hit shelves.
 
My only complaint after playing the demo is the lack of makeshift weapons. I was hoping it'd be more like Condemned where you could pick up virtually anything in the level to use as a melee or projectile weapon. During the first clicker encounter there's a bathroom nearby and I kept thinking how cool it'd be if Joel could pick up the toilet tank lid or rip off the toilet seat to use as a melee weapon.

Other than that I love the game. The sound design is amazing, graphics are very nice, excellent voice acting, characters are great (loved the part where Tess saved Joel), controls are solid, music is very nice. My most anticipated game this year, can't wait to play it.

2 Weeks man!!! That week is gonna be the best day's of my life. There's gonna be E3 where next-gen will blow our minds. Then later that week on the same day too, we get Man of fucking Steel and this amazing game coming out. How the hell do you beat this!?!!?!?!

I don't put them up there with Nintendo yet.
Nintendo usually break new ground while keep the gameplay details top notch.
ND better at putting known element and blend them together really really well.

Still already put down my 60. Sound design alone will sweep all sound award this year.

In among thieves the fortune gets stolen and in Drake's deception you find out it wasn't even his.

Wut? The Last Of Us is checking for Uncharted 1 trophies and depending on the level of completion it'll give us money (for MP? or SP? or both?).
 
Overall quality/polish of a game. Naughty Dog is alongside them.
It will be years before Nintendo displays technical expertise on par with The Last of Us. The whole animation system and A.I is incredibly complex.
It took Naughty-Dog, by many viewed as possibly the most technically accomplished studio in the world, eight years of HD-generation development to reach this level.
Nintendo going with family friendly / cartoony software is perfect in the sense that they don't need to go down that challenging route. They can stick to the tried and true and ramp that up to 11.

That was me, thanks for the tip. Pretty cool that you don't have to waste ammo to get the collectibles.
 
I am expecting nothing good from this game's MP, lol.

Mkay so from what I gathered

2 Booster Slots (just like UC3)
Power Play (like UC3)
Paid Boosters (like UC3)
Cinema mode
Hero vs Villain team

Co-Op and Competitive modes
There's FFA
I gather there's another one of those "VIP" mode like in UC3 where within the match a VIP gets assigned and you kill him/her.

Thermometer Incoming heat! I have extra heat, so I'm sending you my extra. This will let you gain experience faster! Send Heat
(Sounds so wrong. ROFL)

Nintendo is late to the HD party. They have a lot to prove that they are on par with Naughty Dog this gen. Don't even put Nintendo Land and Mario U in this category.

Looking like deathmatch stuff then?

Nintendo has some technical wizards as well. To this day it is still mindblowing what they all did with Wind Waker. I'm really excited to see their output with ground up wii u games.

We'll see once we get the games into our system. Until then I'm still skeptical.

There's co-op and competitive.
Again, there's that "VIP" thingy from Uncharted 3, there's also "Treasure Hunter" I guess there'll be an objective-based mode (a mode within the team deathmatch game) where there's treasure hunting involved? Again, probably kinda like UC3 where there are different objective-based modes within a single deathmatch game and you rotate from one objective to another. Makes sense, and those were fun too. Hate the Power Play though.
There's LAN as well.
2-player Splitscreen, too. Don't know whether for co-op or competitive.
Emblems too. Idols, Relics, Artifacts?

Honestly, I don't know if I'm looking at Uncharted 3 files. This is totally confusing me.

Uncharted 2 gave you extra money for having UC1 data/trophies. Looks like you're mining through the demo files. A lot of data from the UC games are still there as well as major spoilers for Last of Us. (got leaked a few weeks ago)

I totally understand what you are saying but this post is kinda short sighted imo.
But it's way too off topic to get into and i agree that ND are absolute masters.

Ugh I was hoping for something more unique as they say were gonna do.
 
Spoilerless first impressions of human AI?

Particularly, how do they react to player movement in terms of trying to keep their advantage, and how do they react when you try to lure them to chokepoints?
 
Seem Amazon is sold out on the SE.

I am glad I preorder it.

No human AI enemies in the demo.

I don't think the demo has any humans, aside from your partners.

I very much wish I could tell you, but they are nowhere to be seen.
 
Guys just buy a used copy from gamestop, install the demo, and return it the same/next day for your money back. You don't need the disc to play the demo, just to download it.
 
took me like 5 tries to get through the combat scenario but once I got it down it was awesome little taste. Love using actual stealth that fucking clicker.

Someone spoiled the game for me on one of 'em Gametrailers comments. I mean, not everything. I read 3 words and that was major.

Anyways, hopefully I'm just reading leftover UC files. There are some TLoU stuff here though.

Wish there was a setting to turn off just the sounds they make when they encounter even the smallest of climbs. Minor issue obviously, but it's annoying. Especially when all 3 of them are doing it.

Do we have any idea when they're finally going to detail the multiplayer? Or why they're waiting? Only legitimate reason I can think of for it is that it's a spoiler of some sort for the single player game. Otherwise there's no good reason to tease people with "Oh my god we have the greatest multiplayer ever" and then not say anything more about it. I'm not a fan of competitive multiplayer, but it seems like this game would lend itself nicely to co-op modes.

Guys just buy a used copy from gamestop, install the demo, and return it the same/next day for your money back. You don't need the disc to play the demo, just to download it.

I'm no fan of Gamestop, but this just seems wrong. Find a Redbox with it in stock and spend the 2 bucks imo.
 
Yes, fellow fans waiting for the game. The demo is quite good. It is also not buggy at all and those quality assurance guys are doing amazing work.
