Don’t Assume The Last of Us Has An Open World

GR's DeShaun Zollicoffer writes:

"It’s official, The Last of Us has been revealed and it’s from Naughty Dog. I’m extremely excited just like everyone else—especially since I’ve been campaigning for a new ND IP for a few months now. But after looking at the trailer, I don’t think it’s wise to assume that The Last of Us is an open world game, here’s why."

What they showed looked good but i wish it was gameplay and not CG. ND is developing so it will be a good game.

soundslike4944d ago

or open world

they aren't the type to sacrifice the graphics

Dante1124944d ago

How about instead of assuming that it is or isn't, we assume nothing until more facts are provided. You know how fast bs spreads from N4G.

PLASTICA-MAN4944d ago (Edited 4944d ago )

Just some random jealous guy pessimistic assumptions to get hits. He made this blog post just to answer my comment! Good way to promote cavern blog.

Edit: At above, well said bubbles!

"Don't assume that Naughty Dog wouldn't make an open world game"

Dee_914944d ago

well geekrevolt.com can I atleast hope its open world ?
Please make a new article with an answer :)
And I dont think that was CG because it looked like In game graphics. If ND was to make CG i think it would look alot smoother and more like .... CGI..

Skip_Bayless4944d ago

I think Naughty Dog has earned the right to do whatever they want.. They can lay a goose egg and still justify it! Afterall Uncharted 2 is the 2nd best game this generation.

mistajeff4944d ago

it's all running on ps3, it says so if you watch the trailer on the website. yeah, gameplay would've been nice, but they JUST finished a game, so it'll probably be a bit before we see that.

SPARDA_4264944d ago

Its not CG, it was confirmed a few days ago that the footage shown is all in-game/engine.

younglj014944d ago

I think in the trailer it said it was all in-game so no CG...

faysal4944d ago

who said it was CG? it was all ingame graphics. didnt you hear geff saying it on the teaser trailer? and before the trailer sarts it even says it was captured all from ps3 means it was running on ps3 when they captured it...

""""" ;""""" ""Btw, The Last of Us trailer was entirely captured from a Playstation 3.""""&quo t;""""" ;

My jaw has literally dropped! Can't wait for more information on this!

pain777pas4944d ago

Server that is not CG. Yeah... get ready. It was confirmed that it was ingame footage before the trailer was shown. ND are one of the top devs in the world people. Thank them later.

SonyNGP4944d ago (Edited 4944d ago )

It's in-engine, but we don't know if it's in realtime, or pre-rendered. Maybe pre-rendered like the Uncharted cutscenes.

But honestly, I don't care about graphics. Need some gameplay.

gatormatt804944d ago (Edited 4944d ago )

It was in-engine pre-rendered... It wasnt done in realtime, thats like watching someone play the game

nondecaf4944d ago (Edited 4944d ago )

It was either in-game cinematic or actual gameplay because their is "wall crawl" around the window as the trailer begins.@49 sec

Darkfocus4944d ago

when it opened up to the outside there was fade in/LOD as the camera panned forward.

GraveLord4944d ago

This is all done in-engine. Its the power of the PS3.
BEYOND!

MrDead4945d ago

don't assume anything yet, lets just wait and see.

Hicken4944d ago

That's what I was gonna say. We saw like a 2 minute trailer, and all sorts of speculation is popping up.

I assume it will be a great game, based on Naughty Dog's pedigree. That's about it.

Starbucks_Fan4945d ago

Jesus Christ all the PS3 fanboys are treating this like GOTY 2012. We know hardly anything about this game!!!

IRetrouk4944d ago (Edited 4944d ago )

so to be excited for a brand new ip thats exclusive means your a fanboy? ok then.

@caboose32
whose claiming that, all i know is that its at least interesting, every single nd game has been fantastic, all 4 crash b, all 4 jaks and all 3 uc.

caboose324944d ago

You can be excited for the game. But when you are already claiming something to be GOTY 2012 and it's still 2011, then we've got a problem.

Trebius4944d ago

No ones saying its GOTY 2012....its just insecure 360 owners that have no games at all that are speaking out of pure jealousy and spite :P

Its a ND game, and the engine's graphics look great...what else do we need to know about the game to be assured that its going to be good?

ND steers no one wrong.

_Aarix_4939d ago

Well to be honest ps3 fans claimed goty on uncharted 3 months before release and some said killzone 3 and ive seen god of war 4. But imo goty doesnt mean too much considering who got best 360 game and best multiplayer

Rainstorm814944d ago

i dont think ive seen one person say goty 2012 but i have seen many people say it looks good which it does

Jonah_Reese4944d ago

I haven't seen anyone say it's GOTY 2012 either, actually I hope it comes out in Fall 2013

Alpha_Gamer4944d ago

Lol, have you ever played an Uncharted game?

The hype is more than justified.

MoreRPG4944d ago (Edited 4944d ago )

well the game is being develop by Naughty Dog for a couple years and they never disappoint so why not treat it like a game of the year contender
anyway i would to see an open world game from ND

SWORDF1SH4944d ago (Edited 4944d ago )

Are they?

Anyway with Naughty Dog behind it, it as every chance.

Dont get mad

Edit: loads of disagrees. I guess all the xbots flocked here after they read a slightly negative headline hoping that it was going to be a negative story about the new ps3 exclusive

Silly gameAr4944d ago (Edited 4944d ago )

Sorry that people are excited about something other than sales. Gamer's everywhere apologize to you good sir.

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.

RaidenBlack35d 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.

VenomUK35d ago

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

RaidenBlack35d ago

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

arkard35d ago

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

crazyCoconuts34d 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

Flewid63834d ago

Sounds horrible. The downvotes are right on this one.

badz14934d ago

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

OtterX35d 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.

RaidenBlack34d ago (Edited 34d 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

darthv7235d ago

...Way of the Warrior 2: Electric Boogaloo

Amplitude35d ago

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

Lightning7735d ago

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

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

pwnmaster300035d ago (Edited 35d 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“

Lightning7735d ago

OK I gotcha. That makes sense.

jznrpg35d 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.

Notellin34d ago

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

badz14934d ago

so a 2028 release at the soonest

Lightning7734d ago (Edited 34d 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.

pwnmaster300035d ago

This dude is busy.
So who is running intergalactic?

Knushwood Butt35d 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.'

pwnmaster300034d ago (Edited 34d ago )

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

vTuro2435d ago

Cuckmann is going to be Naughty Dog's downfall.

itBourne34d ago

Going to be? The damage is already done lol.

Flewid63834d ago

Sunlight is good for you, I promise. lol

vTuro2434d 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.

StormSnooper34d ago (Edited 34d 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.

Flewid63834d ago

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

mkis00734d 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.

DarXyde34d 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?

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.

CrimsonWing6936d ago

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

CrimsonWing6936d 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.

InUrFoxHole36d ago

Both are great series. That's awesome

Samonuske36d ago

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

italiangamer36d ago (Edited 36d 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 🗿.
