I'm a little confused about the female protagonist, she talks like shes in her 20's but looks like she's an early teen? Really curious what they're aiming at with her.
They want to make a character older men will want to guide and younger teens will want to bone.
What they're aiming at is a whole game that's one long escort mission. It could be good (like Eco) but it might be horrible (like every other escort mission I can remember). Either way it seems to have a little more gameplay flavor and a little less graphics flavor than Uncharted.

The actual show stopper is Watchdogs.

Last of Us looks like a typical ND game; scripted bits and quick time events out the ass. Press the thumbstick to move forward and wait for the game to prompt you to press a single button when another mini cutscene is triggered.

Don't get me wrong, ND make the best scripted events in the industry, it's just that no matter how good you make them, they still suck.
See your point but I think I'm more excited by this than Watch Dogs. It's like how ND makes you jump to it's going to be scripted, I automatically assume Watch Dogs is gonna go Assassin Creed style cos its Ubisoft. Hell, I'd like to be wrong but that's my concern, where it's 'open world' in the sense you go after set targets with a well explained HUD :-/

I can't explain why I think Last of Us isn't just going to be scripted. Maybe it's the new Quantic Dream thing and the obvious image comparison above.

How is this awesome? A guy and a girl boringly fight a very crappily designed zombie like creature, in a very standard dull environment. This is the best e3 offered this day? Christ.


Did we watch the same trailer dude?

Yet another trailer that looks awesome but is probably scripted like crazy.
This was my basic problem watching the trailer. Looks awesome, but just how well will it actually play? Im not sure how much of this is real or scripted, I need to see more Gameplay. Though if it is real, fucking A!

I own a PS3, and I will quite happily admit that I'm an Uncharted fanboy, but nothing about this title appeals to me.

The previous trailer pretty much declared that this was going to be Uncharted... with zombies. Even though there were zombies 9sort of) in the original Uncharted. This gameplay fotage? Yup, it looks like uncharted, joel moves exactly like Drake, and...

I don't get it. Yes, graphically, it looks amazing, but then so is everything else that Naughty Dog does. What is new and fresh about this game? Because so far I'm not seeing anything that makes me want it.

Nah, I'll just wait for the Tomb Raider reboot (flame shield up).

It looks cool but to be honest it's definitely scripted to hell and beyond.
I wouldn't take this for real gameplay.
And then of course there's the fact that it's yet another PS3 exclusive. Which sadly means that I'll never be able to play it.

Sorry, but i didn`t get half of your post. You`re pissed about drakes drakes character and the supernatural stuff in the first one(which they get to explain in each Uncharted game, it still stays a bit supernatural but that`s were the Indiana factor comes into play)? It`s not everyones cup of tea, but to me it made sense in the end and in the context of the game.
l.
ah, well I didn't explain it very well

I ment that uncharted had some seriously cheesy/dumb moments...not that I'm hating )I don't hate uncharted)

what I was referring to is something where a character in a story remains sceptical of supernatural things, yet they EXPLICITLY see them once or several times

not thankfully in uncharted 2 its not as bad, I mean I'm not 100% clear on what the old guy ment when he said "you have to believe drake" and drake is all like unsure (other than it was pure camp gold)

Yeah I'm not totally convinced by this, my first thought was "man this is scripted like crazy". Pretty much every E3 gameplay trailer had me thinking that, especially watch dogs.

like everyone here has already said it does kinda look like it has alot of press 'x' not to die moments. we might actually be lucky and have a press 'square' not to die moment.

graphics look and and when there is combat it looks solid and the stealth system looks not too bad either i like how you can wait round corners and jump out

also ellie's AI seems good it doesnt look like a boring escort game, hopefully we can give ellie cues and get her more involved with what we want to do rather than throwing a brick at someone we are trying to avoid

if its not as scripted as it appears its a definate yes if not is a wait a few months till its in the preowned bargain bin

Felt way too scripted to me. I don't like games that are so on rails like that. What I saw of the PS3 presentation felt more like movies than games. The game they showed before this of the girl in the cop station was even worse. Doesn't look like your input even makes a difference.

Ok, now i get what you ment. I can`t tell much about the old guy either, the games (1-2) are here but it`s been a while since i played them. I`m just glad for the new ip. The last Uncharted was great looking and all but it somehow wasn´t the fun it used to be. Maybe i´ve enough of it and i just hope that ND packs a few more things, besides a teenage sidekick, QTE and low ammo, into the gameplay of Last Of Us. If not at least it will look great/awesome and play good. That can be enough for having fun.

Eh, I'm not that interested in it. For one thing, it looks like a premise I've seen tons of times before:

"It's the post apocalypse and one man + companion must battle against the elements and their fellow man to survive!"

Yawn.

Aside from that, the combat looks very scripted (you can taste the QTEs in the melee bits) and it looks suspiciously like I Am Alive. The setting, like the premise, has been done to death. Sure, it looks pretty, but I ask a bit more from my videogames.

It looks like a well-constructed, linear, cutscene-gameplay-cutscene post-apocalyptic game set in a ruined New York.

I'm sure it'll be good, I'm not sure what's deserving of such overwhelming excitement. It's nothing new, nothing to push the medium forward in any great way (beyond having decent writing).

You want a survival game, get the DayZ mod for ARMA 2 and have your fucking mind blown.

Captcha: Agree to disagree. Indeed.

And Dishonored was the show-stopper, because Immersive Sims.

I'm hoping the AI is just that good and it's not just all faked.

Even so, what does it add to gaming or the genre? Nothing really.

Naughty Dog is one of those exceptionally good developers who will be remembered for doing nothing very important.

They're 'safe'. The only risk being taken with The Last of Us is that they're jumping on a bandwagon which people may already be too sick of to continue riding on.

It's Chicago, and DayZ is good but not mind blowing, wwwwaaaaayyyyyy to buggy and glitchy to be considered that right now.

i don't know about this one, i always have a strange feeling about games where you have to drag a kid around, they tend to make bad decisions, from which you must save them, ugh.
also it just doesn't look like the right game for me :p
