The Last of Us Trailer Rendered in Real Time on The PS3

That trailer you saw for The Last of Us was no CGI gimmick. Naughty Dog Co-President Evan Wells tweets that it was rendered in real time on the PS3. What does this mean for the upcoming post-apocalyptic survival PS3 exclusive?

unbelievable

Naughty Dog you're the man

Nitrowolf24945d ago

These graphics are just amazing. It's day one,not cause of the trailer but because it's from Naughty Dog. They know how to make quality games

LORD-PHOENIX4945d ago

lots of lasts....but definatly first when it comes to exclusive gaming pleasure!

piroh4945d ago

Kutaragi-san knows best

PLASTICA-MAN4945d ago (Edited 4945d ago )

SURELY IT WAS, and it will look even better next year!

BTW, this second studio of Naught Dog should be THE MAIN Studio, instead of Uncharted studio caliming they reached PS3 full potential in Uncharted 2 and couldn't get beyond, then what is this? PS4? Ah Jason Rubin, where are you? Only you are the true spirit of Naughty Dog, make the 3rd studio and make PS5 like game.

Iroquois_Pliskin4945d ago

Of course it is! ND doesnt know what CGI is

darthv724945d ago

was the last of us the only thing revealed? I didnt watch the show and am just now reading bits and pieces about this game.

Also, yes this is a high quality render. If this cutscene looks this good I can only imagine the actual gameplay will be just as good.

Looks like an I am legend sort of game.

rexbolt4945d ago

i dont care for the grafics but this game looks intresting thats for sure

Nitrowolf24945d ago

@rexbolt

true, but e know that Naughty Dog can deliver both graphics and excellent gameplay. Seriously they are the only Dev I know that could keep a perfect balance of everything, except maybe their Multiplayer part, other wise anything when it comes to single player they have excellent story, graphics, and gameplay.

NewMonday4945d ago

ND should let all 1st party devs use the engine

nix4944d ago

Wow... so many bitter fanboys on this thread (below)... lol.

i feel for you all.

Lazy_Sunday4944d ago

Not to be a troll, but I want to see a Naughty Dog game on PC. Just imagine what they'd be capable of if this is how they dev on the PS3. If only consoles had upgradeable GPUs... it would be such a mess though :\

AC130-Gunship4944d ago

I for one will have to see game play and possibly a Demo. I bought UC3 expecting the level of quality I have seen in "the last of us" trailer.

I definitely believe the team that worked on UC2 worked on "the last of us" instead of UC3. UC3 was handle by a new dev team altogether. The realization has blown my excitement for the UC series.

When I read that it was rendered on console, I was amazed. Then I saw it was Naughty Dog and I wasn't surprised. Still great graphics. This was the only good thing to come out of the VGAs this year, lol.

Panthers4944d ago

True. I am looking forward to C&C Generals 2 and was happy to see Bioware behind it, but otherwise Last Of Us stole the show.

Peppy la Moca4945d ago (Edited 4945d ago )

@phoenix,you mentioned 2 games with last in the title and then you say "lots of lasts". can't imagine what 3 games with last in the title would be to you then. a plethora? just having a laugh.

on topic, looking forward to hearing more about this title

ALFAxD_CENTAURO4945d ago

Why Naugthy Dog don't tell how to Develop on PS3 to the 3rd Party Devs? Why? Why?

In engine does not mean in real time!!

Yes, but rendered in real time means rendered in real time. Like it says if you were to read it. Not to be a dick or anything.

Looks like a game I will be keeping an eye on.

cstyle4945d ago

You guys know damn well the game won't look that good.

rocky0475864945d ago

Uh why not? Uncharted 3 looks "that good" so why wouldn't this game look better than Uncharted 3?

MoXxXi4945d ago

What that guy said. I mean dam, Uncharted 3 looked bloody fantastic. Why expect anything less from Naughty Dog?

chiwoo4945d ago

People said the same thing about Uncharted 2 and 3 when they saw gameplay they shutup.

HappyWithOneBubble4945d ago

LOL it's gonna be ok server-1. You got that flash light game to play.

Kingdom Come4945d ago

Why must people be as pathetic as to argue over sales? People could easily mention Resistence 3, which was most likely bigger budget and sold 180,000 Copies in it's first month compared to Gears of War 3's 3.5 Million in it's first week. What I don't understand is why the Playstation community brag about having a huge catalogue of exclusives only to not buy them. And you bring Alan Wakes sales into an argument started through the denial of this not being gameplay, which it isn't. I can honestly say I'll be buying this game day one, but the fact remains this isn't gameplay, just like how last years Uncharted 3 VGA trailer was supposedly ingame, yet wasn't. Just enjoy the trailer and the prospect of having a great game releasing next year and quit being so pathetic...

Why o why4944d ago

Simple economics. If you have the choice of 10 and the budget for 5 somethings gotta give but if you have the choice of 3 and the budget for 3 the likelyhood is youll probably get all 3. Let one set celebrate games and the other great sales of the MINORITY of their games. Npd still getting banded around which is just as silly as downplaying alan wake which i really enjoyed so for me as a single entity on this planet my enjoyment is what counts not what the masses flock to...so as long as i enjoyed alan wake yakuza 4 resistance 3 3d dot game heros or any other game that didnt shine on npd i couldnt give two sh!ts what sells well....im a gamer not an accountant.... Smh

orange-skittle4943d ago

Well put KINGDOM. These fools think that the game will actually look like the trailer. I guess they forgot that trailer with Drake walking in the desert was supposed to be in-game graphics as well. What a big surprise when the game was actually released.

The game will look similar to the trailer but dont expect those surreal visuals. The title does look promising though. BTW, Alan Wake is PS3 Fanboys only fight when comparing exclusives. Ask them about the Resistance series, God of War series, and Uncharted series. None of those IPs ever sold more than a Halo series or the Gears of War series. Great IPs that dont get support from these fanboys that like to talk sh!t. I am definitley picking this game up because I love the uncharted seies, but part 3 was a let down. The story was dumb and I hated the missions with younger Drake. Even the drugged up stages sucked. The ending was tooooo corny

NiKK_4194945d ago

Why not? That's exactly what the game will look like, because it's all in-game... There's no CGI there. Naughty Dog doesn't use CGI to make their game look better, they let the game talk for itself. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Eyesoftheraven4945d ago

The edges are too smooth and the level of detail is sharp both near and far to be real time quality. Its got to be per-rendered in-engine footage. Evan Wells said nothing about rendered in real-time on PS3, just captured. Don't go twisting tweets for hits now.

Imalwaysright4945d ago

Yeah pre-rendered in-engine footage just like Uncharted's cutscenes.

Eyesoftheraven4945d ago

Exactly. Though if that turns out to be the case, there's still an obvious improvement in graphics here. From lighting, to textures, animations, etc..

Apotheosize4945d ago (Edited 4945d ago )

Its funny that people think the game will actually look/play like this. CGI movies from Pixar look like this. Guess what? thats also "in-game engine", doesnt mean its not pre-rendered though. Game will look good but dont expect miracles guys

CGI-Quality4945d ago

CGI movies look better than this. And if you mistook this trailer's quality for such, it must look pretty damn good. Either way, anyone that's invested any sizable amount of time in the Uncharted series knows Naughty Dog doesn't do CGI and their cutscenes are entirely in-engine (the ones that cut to black that is, all the others are pulled directly from gameplay).

Dee_914945d ago (Edited 4945d ago )

@apotheosize
Do you know the difference between a CGI pre rendered and a real time cut scene ?
Im assuming not lol

Uncharted does rendered real time cut scenes.That why the transition from cut scene to gameplay is almost seemless ( which is what im assuming this game will be doing.So what you see there will more than likely look just as good in gameplay). Thats not exactly the same as pre rendered cutscene.Most games use CGI and or pre-rendered cutscenes
Heavy Rain used actual real time cutscenes along with pre rendered cutscenes.

4945d ago
SweatyFlorida4945d ago (Edited 4945d ago )

Pre-rendered yes, CGI no. I imported the trailer to my Ps3, and slowed it down. There's considerable areas/tidbits that do not qualify for CGI, so it must be in-engine. CGI is basically perfect, look at Final Fantasy trailers, or even the Tomb Raider trailer shown at E3, every little detail is clean, crisp, and perfect. Slow the trailer down on an HDTV and if you have any knowledge in graphics then you would know it's not CGI.

It was sad to see all the "other" people in denial about it being in-game/in-engine one the trailers first got uploaded and this info wasn't given. Well I know that the truth isn't gonna hurt me ;)

modesign4944d ago

xbots still cant grasp the power of the ps3, but keep crying with your dvd9 compressions.

"but but, the xbox cant do this, so neither can the ps3" boo hoo hooo. keep crying fanbot.

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

crazyCoconuts35d 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

Flewid63835d ago

Sounds horrible. The downvotes are right on this one.

badz14935d 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

Lightning7736d 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.

badz14935d ago

so a 2028 release at the soonest

Lightning7735d ago (Edited 35d 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.'

pwnmaster300035d ago (Edited 35d ago )

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

vTuro2435d ago

Cuckmann is going to be Naughty Dog's downfall.

itBourne35d ago

Going to be? The damage is already done lol.

Flewid63835d 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.

Flewid63835d ago

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

mkis00735d 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.

DarXyde35d 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.

CrimsonWing6937d 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.

InUrFoxHole37d ago

Both are great series. That's awesome

Samonuske37d 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 🗿.
