All the better.
I've never seen a game before where each individual enemy AI feels like a real person and not just a bunch of filler to make your path to the next objective a challenge.

Minato-Namikaze4292d ago

If everyone played it safe we would never get anywhere. Kudos to ND

BlmThug4292d ago

Agreed. Taking risks is what moves the industry forward

baodeus4292d ago

Then obviously u haven't play enough games.

Them_Bones4292d ago

I've played my fair share what makes you say that, this game is revolutionary when it comes to enemy AI, just like L.A. Noire was revolutionary when it came to motion capture.

baodeus4292d ago

Then tell me what game u have played so far that u think have decent ai first, then described in detail why u think LoS AI is revolution and where did u get your source from. Once u post them, ill let u know why your assessment of other games AI r just filler because u haven't play enough game.
secondly have u already play LOS or u just based your "AI revolution" claimed from some video ND showed u or describe to u about their "revolution" AI?

Them_Bones4292d ago

Dafuq?
After reading through that several times I finally got some idea of what you're asking...

I didn't base my revolution claim on anything ND said, I don't have any source its just my opinion and of course I haven't played the TLOU because it's kinda not out yet...
I simply said this is the first game where it feels like each individual enemy AI feels alive, because they have their own unique set of dialogue, the way they communicate with each other and the way they can sense danger and how they approach a fight.
I didn't say other games had decent AI, it's just TLOU brings AI to a whole new level.

baodeus4291d ago

I don't know anything yet either, so i can't make such claim if LOS has revolutionary AI. Just based on description though, it sounds similar to what Crytek is trying to do with their AI in crysis 2 (It works quite well if only it wasn't so dam glitchy)

Although I'm thinking you haven't play fable 2 yet right?

If you want full description of how realistic the NPCs can get to being real human (including everything that you just described, and more) in Fable 2 I'll be happy to describe them to you in details. Just PM me.

Although Bastion should also be mentioned. That games is all about experimenting on how many ways can the AI narrator response to your every action (it almost as if the narrator is an actual person sitting next to me giving comment about what i'm doing).

Wizziokid4292d ago

I just want to play this now

VanguardOfCalamity4292d ago

"Am I going to be offensive or defensive?"

offensive all the way :)

ItsMeAgain4292d ago

Glad you have your mind set, but who knows if the game makes you go defensive when you see yourself with just one bullet on the gun ^_^

neutralgamer194292d ago

If everyone played it safe we wouldnt have had the epicness that is Uncharted 2 or the great Heavy Rain and so many other games.

N.D. aren't perfect but imo they are the best devs this gen and i will buy anything they sell. Of course they have committed errors such as changing the UC3 mp which imo was perfect during the first summer beta (not the bs subway one that was horrible) but all in all their games are top notch and enjoyable.

BlackPrince 424292d ago

N.D. is definitely the leading developer of the generation.

Hopefully The Last of Us will be to the horror genre what Uncharted 2 was to the action genre and reinvigorate that sector of the industry.

neutralgamer194292d ago

With how good the AL is going to be and the semi open world feel and different routes you can take i know this game will be cream of the crop. The grpahics are a given so im interested in the other aspects of it. Just give me that adrenaline pumping, creature killing and life threatening feel and im all in. From what i saw with the shotgun blast in the trailer its all gooddddddddd.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast77d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs74d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast74d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs73d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast73d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer77d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6977d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs74d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6974d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.

The Last Of Us Online Devs Celebrate Their Experience With The Canceled Game

The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.

Chocoburger121d ago

All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.

What a waste of time and money, what a shame.

seanpitt2377d ago

I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!

Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait

Linzoid121d ago

Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.

TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…

anast121d ago

This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
