The Last of Us Defines PS3's Limits (Interview) - E3 2012

"When The Last of Us was announced during Spike's 2011 VGAs on December 10th, Naughty Dog's latest project left the industry speechless with outstanding visuals and immersive action sequences. Since its unveiling just six months ago, The Last of Us has continued to stun gamers, especially with its impressive presence during Sony's E3 2012 Press Conference. Displaying amazing visuals combined with incredible combat mechanics led to a standing ovation within the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, where the Press Conference was being held."

Not one word in the entire interview mentions anything about the ps3s limits.

I call trolling for hits.

GribbleGrunger4753d ago

Uncharted 2 was the limit, then Uncharted 3 was the limit and now The Last Of Us is the limit. LOL. the PS3 isn't nearly finished yet. that's what you get when you make sure your console is future proof and has a disk that offers 50GB of storage space (if needed)

hats off to Sony

Chitown712914753d ago

Exactly dude. And i hear they are running the animations off of the blu-ray basically creating virtual memory. Sh*t is genius lol

Virtual_Reality4753d ago

''that's what you get when you make sure your console is future proof ''

+1

@Chitown71291

Amazing software engineering by ND. Other Devs should take notes.

Chitown712914753d ago

@Virtual: They really should dude lol. Everyone college news to have Naughty Dog course lol

Nimblest-Assassin4753d ago

Never trust the words limit and Naughty Dog in the same sentance

Watch the next game they make look better than the Last of Us, and they say we think we hit the PS3 limit with this one

ND just keeps getting better

GuyThatPlaysGames4753d ago

Agreed! Even tho this article is false. The PS3's "limits" were supposedly reached when Killzone 2 and 3 came out. And if i remember correctly, the same was said about Uncharted 2 and 3. Hmmmm, this "pushing the PS3's limits" thing is really getting old, especially with every release.

Skate-AK4753d ago (Edited 4753d ago )

Ugh sorry wrong reply.

DigitalAnalog4753d ago (Edited 4753d ago )

Allow me to demonstrate "limits". Imagine having a 100GB HDD filled with porn - now are you going to tell me that's the TRUE limit of HDD? Any smart guy would be able to compress the files therefore putting more porn to reach it's "limits" again.

But does this mean the 2nd attempt is the same as the 1st because they pushed the HDD's "limits"? Then tell me how does "limits" have an abitrary factor on the PS3 or any system for that matter? Enlighten us how, they are unable to optimize their code for better yields. If not, then you are not in a position to criticize whether or not a dev can push "limits" no matter how many times they says it.

Treian4753d ago

will this be better than uncharted? Not saying uncharted is bad.

Skate-AK4753d ago

I think the gameplay experience will be to varied to compare them to the point of which is better.

slaton244753d ago

beyond looks even better than this so how can the last of us define the ps3 limits...

Ducky4753d ago

... because visuals aren't the sole factor in determining a system's limits.

slaton244753d ago (Edited 4753d ago )

i am not all about the visuals i was talking about graphics movement story and sure the last of us looks great cant wait to get it but in MY OPINION beyond looks alot better.

and sackboy no im not i no what i saw at E3 sure the last of us may dominate the hell out of beyond but still it looks better to ME...so thank you for the disagrees considering i was saying that with these two games it is still hard to tell what the limits to the ps3 are. Every time we thank thats it the ps3 proves again it still has a lot of bite in it

Nick2120044753d ago

After checking out The Last of Us behind closed doors, I have yet to see a game impress me to this level. Beyond comes in at a very close second though.

Kinect4753d ago

beyond is a movie not a game so get over it

Neil Druckmann Reveals He’s Working on an Unannounced Game at Naughty Dog

Neil Druckmann, the creative director of The Last of Us, is working on a new, unannounced game at Naughty Dog.

RaidenBlack29d ago

I know they've expertise in third person games.
But given the lack there of in PS catalog, I'd want the other project to be a narrative first person ND game.
Look, there are lots of 3rd person Sony games in variety of flavors. And ND is already doing intergalactic. And since they're pretty expert at gameplay and tech wise in whatever they do, they can easily venture a new genre and ship a first person game/shooter.

VenomUK29d ago

Hopefully the lead character is a boss babe who will challenge the patriarchy.

RaidenBlack29d ago

So, judging from the dislikes, hardcore Sony fans here don't like first person games, anymore?

arkard29d ago

Let naughty dog do what they are great at, 3rd person games

crazyCoconuts28d ago

I don't really have a big opinion on first vs third person perspective. That's one of the least important things to me when rating how much I like a game

Flewid63828d ago

Sounds horrible. The downvotes are right on this one.

badz14928d ago

I actually hate 1st person. very hard to associate with a character you only see their hands most of the time.

OtterX29d ago

funny thing is with failures like Concord and soon to be Marathon, Factions could have been Sony's guaranteed huge success with a shooter! I don't ever play online shooters anymore, but I would have come out of shooter retirement for a new Factions game.

RaidenBlack28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

{ coming from the above thread }
So PS Fellas hate first person games now? (Understandable)
But praise Killzone and Resistance series, as well?
And hope for a return of first party first person games? ~ but from where? insomniac is deep in marvel territory, guerilla is deep in aloy territory ... suckerP are not as big to undertake that change + dedicated to Ghost series
The only options are ND and Santa Monica, who are rumoured to be involved in parallel projects. ~ so take your pick.
And the other 'new' studios at Sony are not that hot right now with knee deep in live service fiasco

darthv7229d ago

...Way of the Warrior 2: Electric Boogaloo

Amplitude29d ago

It’d be cool if they bought the Parappa licence and made Parappa 3 that’d be the real good timeline

Lightning7729d ago

Wait I thought they cancelled a game? Or did they announce another project?

https://wccftech.com/naught...

pwnmaster300029d ago (Edited 29d ago )

I’m assuming it’s the unannounced game in the title you posted.

“Naughty Dog Reportedly Canceled a Single Player Game This Year, But Another Unannounced Game Is Still in the Works“

Lightning7729d ago

OK I gotcha. That makes sense.

jznrpg29d ago

Devs cancel games all the time early stages if it doesn’t turn out the way they envisioned it. We just don’t hear about every one of them.

Notellin28d ago

Yeah only a narcissist like Druckmann would announce a game this early that has a 99% chance of being cancelled.

badz14928d ago

so a 2028 release at the soonest

Lightning7728d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Some speculate it could be Uncharted spin off. It's already 3 years in production so yeah 2028 maybe 2027 at the absolute earliest but most likely 28 release.

Also to add. kojimas next game that's not OD is said to be 5 to 6 years out for PS. That metal gear inspired game. These games are just too far off it seems.

pwnmaster300029d ago

This dude is busy.
So who is running intergalactic?

Knushwood Butt29d ago

'We have several directors on Intergalactic. I work with two game directors: Matthew Gallant and Kurt Margenau, [and] I have a co-writer in Clair Carré.'

pwnmaster300028d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Okay you got me, I skimmed the article and video .
Thanks lol

vTuro2429d ago

Cuckmann is going to be Naughty Dog's downfall.

itBourne28d ago

Going to be? The damage is already done lol.

Flewid63828d ago

Sunlight is good for you, I promise. lol

vTuro2428d ago

Damage has been done but it's not too late yet if they dump him now. Probably won't happen though. It's sad, honestly. We'll see what happens after Intergalactic. That game is going to have a huge impact one way or another.

StormSnooper28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Yes because they didn’t make some of the greatest games. Right, we all just agree to live in your fantasy from now on.

Flewid63828d ago

yall say that about ever developer and then they end up becoming more successful lol

mkis00728d ago

Downfall? If anything he is a huge reason they are on the map! A few apes don't like the material hasn't stopped his games from being massive hits.

DarXyde28d ago

I have grievances with Druckmann, but he does deserve some benefit of the doubt. He's been in crucial roles at the company through all of their successes.

Maybe wait and see?

Interesting. So they are working on more than we knew.

Ex-Naughty Dog Dev Says Resident Evil 4 Inspired Uncharted and Many More Action Games

Former Naughty Dog dev says Resident Evil 4 inspired Unchartted and even Gears of War, particularly the over-the-shoulder camera view.

CrimsonWing6930d ago

It revolutionized third-person shooters, in a genius way that gives you full control of aiming.

CrimsonWing6930d ago

No, I mean RE4. Like the whole snap to over-shoulder and precision aiming was what I meant.

I won’t deny Winback does pave the way in some respect. But it’s not the same at all.

InUrFoxHole30d ago

Both are great series. That's awesome

Samonuske30d ago

I thought this was common knowledge. Resident Evil Revolutionised over the shoulder aiming in 3rd person shooters/action games

italiangamer30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Influenced basically every third person action game made after it, GTA uses the over the shoulder perspective when shooting since the 4th installment, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 too and the Batman Arkham series has the over the shoulder perspective as the main camera throughout the whole game series.
Obviously there are a ton more examples but you get the point 🗿.
