I agree.
Forced walking, a scene that amounted to a long ass real time unskippable cutscene, holding forward to win, and more forced walking kicked off the gameplay quite poorly. #cinematicgaming, I guess, which is a shame because almost everything else that followed was fantastic.

How do you feel about Half-Life's intro? The introduction to Black Mesa Research Facility is one of the most beloved in all of gaming and all you do is sit in a tram until a security guard allows you to get off.
It's worth it for the pacing, though. And it's worth it in The Last of Us.

I wish I had a PC so I can really notice the differences. I'll have to wait until I get the game.
Actually, the original picture is kind of infected, already...
I don't know what that shit in her neck is

lol. You fucker. I didn't even read the rest of the topics. I went back to the front page and Ctrl-F'd Neil Druckmann.

Except, I thought Arne said that the patch was adding the higher res shadow config. Currently the game does not look different. Placebo? Bullshit? Misinformation? The world may never know!
Make sure to read the rest.
Yell at the embargo creators, not me. If I had to wait until Monday morning to share some of this I would probably actually die. Like. I would melt into a pool of sadness.
The update is already out, and I'm looking at before and after photos RIGHT NOW.

Oh, that is good to know. Arne/the world made it sound like the update wasn't out until Mon/Tues.

since you can't post pictures could you tell us how much it actually improves the visuals?

I don't recall any forced walking in Half-Life so it wins by default. I also recall the intro having a much smoother balance of free movement/progression and "hey, stand here and watch this".
In general, I can tolerate that stuff on a first playthrough, but it destroys replay value for me. I bought a game to play a game. That doesn't mean I need WHAM BANG explosions and combat immediately after selecting "New Game" (if at all, to be honest), but I like being able to smoothly make progress with a decent level of interaction.
For reference, some of my top game intros would be Resident Evil 4, Metroid Prime, Super Metroid, Earthbound, and the God of War series.

Yeah, sorry, should have been more specific. Will go and preorder the game over the weekend, maybe pay in full to ensure I get it in 3 days time. Game is out on the 31st here in Australia.
Ridiculous how excited I am for a game I've already played. I think it stems from 3 things, new generation (I just got the ps4), haven't replayed it yet (so the memory is slightly hazy) and never played the MP so looking forward to that also.
I was talking about literally just the opening credits and the tram ride, which is a pretty lengthy section of just standing in one place. There's even loading sections...
Gotcha, some people have got it early so I assumed you were one of those. As much as I want it to be Tuesday already, I kind of want a nice long weekend.

Can we please not treat JLeack as credible? He's failed to deliver on claims and has been called out by Bish and others many times.
Anson Mount definitely gets my vote and he has the acting chops to pull it off if you've ever seen Hell on Wheels. He pretty much plays a character a lot like Joel already. The only concern is he might not be a big enough name to be cast in this.
Someone should tweet at the Naughty Dog guys about this!
Damn, a little makeup and some thicker brows and holy crap yes. At least visually, he gets my vote.

LMAO I just sent him a PSN message
GL HF. I'm curious what you think.
Mine would be The Last of Us, EarthBound, Final Fantasy VII, Super Metroid, Call of Duty 4, and BioShock.

Feel so fucking jealous of the people playing this game for the first time.
Still stand by your previous claims that going back to 30fps is hard after playing 60?
I forgot how much I loved the soundtrack of this game, and Gustavo Santaolalla in general. I need to listen through this. I was holding off on a complete listen through until I finished the game. I moved on and forgot to listen through. This is going to be a treat. Thanks for mentioning the music in the OT, OP. Good job on the thread.
Even if you don't play this game, you owe it to yourself to listen to the music. Hauntingly beautiful is the best descriptor I can use.
Also, this.
