This game is blowing away every other game at the VGA's.

Hope some previews go up soon. Have so many questions!

Previews of what? The trailer they showed? VGA is not a trade show.

 

[narwhalSTAB]

that is fucking gross

Or fucking awesome. Look how his palate is split in two, lol. The fungus messed him up good.

 

[Y2Kev]

I think there's a reason they are focusing on Ellie. She'll be the lead.

 

[KingK]

there is a new zombie game every five seconds, KingK, so you're clearly not paying attention.


I'm just waiting to hear how it'll play though. Uncharted left a lot to be desired in that arena so I'm hoping for less 'let every shitty player win' attitude and more skill requirements.

Also I don't normally care for Ellen Page but she does work well as a game character for some reason, artistically.

Name them? I'm not trying to be a dick, just genuinely curious about how people are feeling so fatigued with zombies. I know Dead Island came out this year, but that's all I can think of recently.

I think there's a reason they are focusing on Ellie. She'll be the lead.

I really hope so. It'd be great to have a female lead in a big game like this.

Please be single-player focused.

Please be single-player focused.

Please be single-player focused.

Do you hear that, Naughty Dog?

Please be single-player focused.

Not going to happen. I'm all for SP, but no.

If it's a zombie game, there likely be heavy emphasis on co-op.

I'm not worried though. I have no doubt ND will give the SP proper treatment.

 

[toastyToast]

Why would you want this to not be co-op?

Do you not have friends?

If it's coop focused there is the chance that you'll have to depend on your cpu coop partner as if it were a real person.

It could be a trainwreck like RE5 outside coop

 

[speedpop]

Looks nice, though I am sick to death of zombies.

 

[toddhunter]

I remember there being rumours a couple of years ago about Naughty Dog working on a project for PSN.

I have a feeling that this may have started life as a PSN title and was 'upgraded' to a disc release.

Maybe.

At this stage ND = benefit of the doubt.

They have earned it... twice

 

[jett]

lolz she's even called ellie. the whole ellen page thing has got to be on purpose

 

[Niks]

Looks great. Cant wait to see gameplay.

That said, girl should be older, also if they are blatantly trying to create a Ellen Page character at least make her the voice too.

 

[Hyuga]

I'm still not sure how Sony kept this a secret. ND never really was part of the speculation even after TTP found the hint in Uncharted 3.

We never knew that they had a second team. Seems like they are bigger now and nobody knew it.
Two teams now.
I guess....
1. Team -> PS4 development
2. Team -> The Last Of Us

Dead Island, Left 4 Dead 2, Dead Nation... those are the ones I can remember.

The Last of Us trailer was rendered in engine on PS3

 

[R_thanatos]

So there's still new IPs to come from Santa Monica, Quantic Dreams, Guerrilla Games, and Sucker Punch. They can't all be for PS3 right?

why not ?
do you want to change consoles so badly ?

 

[Chinner]

theres a difference with being swamped with zombie games, and good zombie games. you can say pretty much the same about any genre really.

 

[BurningNad]

Wow, this looks amazing. Let's hope the gameplay is just as good. I'll keep my eye on this.

 

[plainr_]

I think there's a reason they are focusing on Ellie. She'll be the lead.

Oh yes.

 

[MeBecomingI]

You know, I really wouldn't put it past Sony and Naughty Dog to have tried to actually get Ellen Page and another mainline actor for the male character.

She actually does sound like Ellen, so who knows? I would like to see two actors in the roles. Something different.

 

[Blizzard]

I can't wait for the adventures of jailbait Zoey and Young Bill.

Thank you, I thought I was the only one reminded of Zoey with the ponytail and red jacket.

Her eyes look really weird to me in that one shot of her from the side though, as if they should be more towards the front of her head or sized differently. Hard to explain, I just feel like I'd expect a different-looking face there. =P

 

[Himself]

Maybe.

At this stage ND = benefit of the doubt.

They have earned it... twice

Possible thrice...or for those of us that go back to PS1...uhh...eice? seice?

 

[Acrylic7]

I Really don't think those are zombies.

Yeah, we need more female leads in games. And not like Bayonetta.

 

[Alex]

Oh I really hope there is good coop, I never even thought about that.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

From the old thread

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=454275&page=25

Forget energy drinks, mushrooms are the new hotness.

Spot on with the shroom heads.

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

Since the storyline is based on fungus I wonder if John Madden will make a cameo appearance?

And if Ellie is the lead character will they offer a one handed controller?

 

[Maleficence]

That looks awesome, and Naughty Dog are amazing (even though U3 was a slight disappointment).

I put her at 13/14, around my sisters age.

 

[3N16MA]

About to shit his pants.

 

[Mr_Appleby]

Father+daughter setup could lead to a dynamic like in The Road though.


and with only having seen the trailer footage, it's maybe a bit to colorful for my taste. Could also have been a trailer for Dead Island

why shouldn't it be colourful, it's not like it's "post-bomb" type setting. get rid of people, cars, industry etc and plants would take over again.

wholeheartedly sick of zombies myself (i know, i know, it's a fungal parasite.), but if it's more a survival type game than an action-adventure then colour me interested.

 

[angelfly]

Yeah, we need more female leads in games. And not like Bayonetta.

I thought Bayonetta was an awesome character but I get your point.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Yeah, we need more female leads in games. And not like Bayonetta.

Bayonetta >>> this chick. She'd kick these mushrooms in the face with a gunboot. Who else can say that?

That's what I thought.

 

[Loudninja]

I think there's a reason they are focusing on Ellie. She'll be the lead.

They both should be hopefully.

 

[SolidSnakex]

We never knew that they had a second team. Seems like they are bigger now and nobody knew it.
Two teams now.
I guess....
1. Team -> PS4 development
2. Team -> The Last Of Us

Yeah, it seems likely that the Uncharted team will move on to the PS4 now.

I'm hoping that the director is Amy or Bruce Straley.

 

[Striek]

theres a difference with being swamped with zombie games, and good zombie games. you can say pretty much the same about any genre really.

No matter what genre the game was going to be 'generic' is pretty much an easy critiscism you don't actually have to put thought into. There is pretty much no games you can't call generic or deriviative in some way.

 

[LiK]

I think there's a reason they are focusing on Ellie. She'll be the lead.

Probably play both chracters

Dead Island did a pretty good job in terms of crowds.

If ND can improve on the DI formula. Hell, I'd be happy with that.

 

[Busty]

Maybe.

At this stage ND = benefit of the doubt.

100% agree with this.

Anything ND do is worthy of a special mention.

heh, it's weird I kept saying "Tough Actin Tinactin" all day today.

 

[Hiro_Kunimi_80]

I know there are better examples of faces in uncharted but the quality of the render is mindblowning

Looks WAY better than uncharted. If this is still ps3 than we have no need for ps3. It looks better than Pixar films.

first time uncharted was premiered @vga

in engine trailer...

 

[Wrayfield]

OMGGGG.

Will post trailer as soon as I have it!

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/vga-2011-the-last-of/724686

YES!!! So happy to see it's not a L4D clone, which is what I was thinking it was gonna be. A survival game in a post-apocyalptic world would be so cool.

You had me at post-apocalyptic. Where do I sign?

 

[Himself]

Don't talk shit about Bayonetta.

I'm relieved to see Naughty Dog not being stuck in some sort of Kojima=Metal Gear sort of quandary. I love Uncharted and all but it's really nice to see them being able to do other stuff.

 

[inky]

fcking zombies.

I really hope so. It'd be great to have a female lead in a big game like this.

Left 4 Dead
Dead Nation
Resident Evil
Dead Rising
House of the Dead (series)
Plants vs. Zombies
Dead Island
The Last of Us
Yakuza: Dead Souls
Rise of Nightmares
Dead Block
Read Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare
Zombie Panic in Wonderland
Red Nation
Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies
The Last Guy


The list goes on and on. Zombies are a de facto "craze" at the moment. Every developer and their mother either makes the game about zombies or at least includes a mode which has zombies in it at some point.

 

[HTuran]

What's the source on this one.

For in-engine, that's insane.

 

[NinjaFridge]

Hope its more of a survival game than a zombie game. Zombie (or whatever those things are) don't interest me. Looks incredible though.

 

[anaron]

Female lead plz.

 

[mrklaw]

Looks great. Cant wait to see gameplay.

That said, girl should be older, also if they are blatantly trying to create a Ellen Page character at least make her the voice too.

she can't be older. She needs to be vulnerable. If she was older she'd be some kind of teen Tomb Raider action figure. This age lets her be independent and resourceful, but still vulnerable and lets her father be more protective of her.

 

[RurouniZel]

If that's actually real-time and not bull-trailer, I'm legitimately fucking impressed. :O

 

[bobbytkc]

in engine trailer...

If you have played the game. It looks exactly like that when you play that section of the game as well. Real time, no bullshit.
