First look: The Last of Us (Destructoid)

Excerpt from article:

"Today, Sony and Naughty Dog showed off the first gameplay for their upcoming survival action game, The Last of Us. The demo played out after the cutscene Naughty Dog released this morning. It was a short look at the cross-country journey of middle-aged Joel and teenage Ellie in a decimated world some 20 years in the future, but it gave us a solid idea of what we can expect. And I'm expecting really good things after seeing this."

"A few of the attackers push a bus down a hill, plowing it directly into Joel's truck. After the crash, ambushers pull Ellie and Joel out of the truck and begin beating them up. Joel fights back and acquires a gun, at which point the cutscene transitions seamlessly into a gunfight. "

Ok, IN-GAME GRAPHICS CONFIRMED!

Machioto4360d ago

We don't know how much cut scene to gameplay changes.

Machioto4360d ago

Is there something wrong in what I said?because the way digital wrote his/her comment seems like he or she is trying to prove something or trolling.

@Machioto: Dude.................seaaaammm mlesssssllllyyyy..........

DigitalAnalog4360d ago (Edited 4360d ago )

You are chasing a wild goose if you're looking for a troll post in my comment. Whole point of my post is that there was a contention regarding the graphics of the trailer, this article re-affirms (according to the source) the fact that this NOT the in-engine cutscene so many are trying to justify.

It's not the first time they did it, if you played Uncharted 2 you'll notice the cutscene after drake & co. escapes the crashing building. Or the train box that rolled over after Drake shoots it with an RPG - THAT is the "seemless" transition this article is talking about.

Machioto4360d ago (Edited 4360d ago )

Okay then,fair enough explanation also, I wasn't looking for a troll post,it's just your comment seem to have a tone that made sound like there was a double meaning to it.

As much as I love Naughty Dog and their games, I can never trust their released footage for games. I have no doubt in my mind that I'll be purchasing the game day one, and I have no doubt in my mind that the game'll look absolutely stunning, but what I do doubt is the reliability of the trailers and that they reflect the final product.

Regardless, I can't wait for the E3 Demonstration!

TheBigShamona4360d ago

I call bullshit on those bus screens, actually play the game and you would know too.

Chitown712914360d ago

The parts with Drake and Elena are two totally different scenes...... The one thats labeled "E3 Build" is at the end of the game......notice the different stuff Drake has on? (Ammunition and a scarf)....... And with the bus, the only noticeable difference is the lighting..........Sooooooo???? Don't know the point of that article. Hell go play the game and look at the desert scene.......imo it looked better when I played than it did on the trailer......and the ocean sequence ......MY GOD , nothing has been done like that on consoles....im sorry....

Angels37854360d ago (Edited 4360d ago )

You are a troll and you say this in any article about uncharted. If you actually played the game you would know that one screenshot was from a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT scene (one from the ending and one from roughly the middle) the other shot the only difference was the lighting and a bit more dust in the bus than before (confirmed by naughty dog). Simply put....look at the faces and you'll see they are exactly the same. Having played uncharted 3 since the beta......its improved graphically and ND did not once show something that was bullshotted, everything shown from e3 on was in the game at one point. I played the bus scene it DID look like that...

pandaboy4359d ago

This is how far the fanboy termites have dug into this site. Kingdom Come makes a perfectly rational comment and is attacked with straw man fallacies ignoring the graphical difference claiming the reason being different scenes.

Yeah right, so the graphics got drastically worse between scenes, who are you people trying to kid... I too noticed naughty dog's use of bullshots in hyping their game. There is no doubt the last of us will look great, but credulity is not an admirable trait guys. Uncharted 3 looked nowhere near as good as claimed by sony and naughty dog.

Confirmed, Dale North vibrates.

Also confirmed, The Last of Us has some very strong potential to be the survivor game many of us have been looking for in this generation.

CaptainSheep4360d ago

Words cannot describe how much I'm excited for this game... after reading this, it just got multiplied by 100. :P

Double_Oh_Snap4360d ago

Very similar to uncharted, if you don't own a ps3 you must buy one just to play this game. I can't wait for E3.

DigitalAnalog4360d ago

According to the preview, the only "similarities" are the interfaces. Meaning we may get the the button "prompts" we see in Uncharted. Gameplay on the other hand is far from Uncharted.

M1chl4360d ago

Can't wait : ) I am not fan of Uncharted so I hope, that is going to be different with much less shooting. But right now, this is my most anticipated game : )

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."

anast82d 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.

AlterRecs79d 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"

anast79d 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.

AlterRecs78d 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

anast78d ago

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

DrDoomer82d ago

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

CrimsonWing6982d ago

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

AlterRecs79d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6979d 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.

Chocoburger127d 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.

seanpitt2382d 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

Linzoid126d 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…

anast126d 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?
