They have dedicated a team for The Last of Us. I remember back when they finished Uncharted 2, they
said they wanted to do something else out from uncharted series. Santa Monica said the same thing when they finished GOW III. They said they needed to do something else so I guess ND and Santa Monica are working or new IPs. ND one is last of us, we have certainly yet to see another IP from Santa monica as well.

Yeah I did just read that too from gaf, guess it's their Naughty Dog engine version 3.0 since UC3 uses ver 2.0.

Looks great. Think it'll use the same view and controls as uncharted? Co-op play with one as the man and one as the girl, each with their own abilities/usefullness? I don't expect it to be anywhere near as action oriented as Uncharted. Semi-open world exploration?

[nAo]

The girl is definitely Ellen Page.
The trailer looks amazing but I am not sure it's real-time, the motion blur is so good it looks like accumulation buffering to me (although there is still plenty of spatial aliasing left, and even artifacts from the fake DOF, which is weird if they have really used an accumulation buffer only to get motion blur right). Do they explicitly say it is real-time?

[Scott_Arm]

I don't think real-time was explicitly mrentioned. Just in-engine on PS3. Obviously not gameplay footage, but the gameplay in Uncharted series held up quite well to the cutscenes.

[manux]

For whatever we know it could be 10fps on ps3 and edited to look smooth. It would still fit the description

Definetely interesting stuff. We do need new games to combat the sequel stagnation.

[TheChefO]

Game looks awesome!

Kudos again to Naughty Dog for being among the best (if not the best) in the biz and for Sony giving them the budget and support they need to pull off amazing work like the UC series and from the looks of it, another hit in the "last of us".

Good stuff!

The female character is voiced by Ashley Johnson.

Reaction 1: Another Zombie game: I am not interested.

Reaction 2: A new game by Naughty Dog ! (remembers his own maniacal smiles, shouts, oohs, aahs while playing UC3):

" ALL MY MONEY IS BELONG TO THEM !!!!"



On a serious note, looks good,but I was expecting a more grimmer ambience. But I always wanted a survival horror with UC gfx ever since the spaniards appeared in UC 1. My wish is about to come true. I am impressed by the premise and gfx, but not so much by the mood of the trailer. Didn't really have a unique tone to it.
But those guys at ND are crazy, they must have cooked up something awe inspiring to have put their trust into this idea. I will wait n watch.......with piqued interest.

[messyman]

I thought it had an excellent mood to it.
Reminds me of the movie The Road.

Colours don't seem coherent to me. and the tone seems undecided in some ways. Like do they want to go for a horror feel or a nature gone awry maniacal tone, or the solitude of I am legend, or hopelessness. It doesn't seem to have found its primary character, its undercurrent emotion yet.

looks good, but because of great graphics, amazing character models and shaders, not because of its atmosphere. Even Resistance 3 has a better grasp at atmosphere, and with worse graphics. Colours, the pallete of colours decided for a level, can convey the mood without uber graphics. This one's got the tech of the best PS3 engine, but lacks in the pallete. At least thats how I feel.
Maybe, they'll find their way by the time it ships.

EDIT: after reading the thread, probably you win.

[Cornsnake]

First trailer, and it's already making jokes about killing people. Not a horror game confirmed. Definitely Naughty Dog though.

[BoardBonobo]

Looks superb!! The final part of the trailer looks like it could be in game, like the offspring of the GoW3 engine plus ND2.0.

How can this not be a horror game? Personally this pretty much means the game is dead to me. I have no interest in this ridiculously overused topic in videogames, movies, etc.

Its wishful thinking that we can get these visuals this gen but I doubt it.
Uncharted 3 looked too good for the PS3. But this? This looks better beyond anything I have seen on the PS3. Its like I am watching the Unreal 4 tech demo on a current gen console

It must be. The actual quote right at the start of the trailer is:

THE FOLLOWING TRAILER IS CAPTURED DIRECTLY FROM A PLAYSTATION ® 3.

That is a pretty clear message that it's realtime. Impressive.

Real-time cutscene from all the evidence we have.

There's aliasing and artifacting,and doesn't look beyond UC3 to me.

It's simply ND going the realistic direction, whereas UC was more stylised.

I have no interest in a zombiee game too, but the problem here is that its ND. I think theybmust have put some special twist on it to make it worth investing so much into. I will stay neutral till it is confirmed that it is just another zombie game.

RE4 was fantastic while being primarily a zombie game. Silent Hill 2 and 3 were fantastic while being a zombie game. Well, this gen Siren was Fantastic being a zombie game. But yes the number of boring zombie games vastly outnumber these few. Lets hope the organic twist to the tale, that these are onfected by a fungus and the fact its from ND and we don't know what it plays like actually, means that it still has a chance to turn out to be something new n unique. Its missing the mood, though, thats for sure.

[messyman]

So the Joel character is played by Troy Baker and Ellie is played by Ashley Johnson.

Yeah I was noticing the aliasing and some artifacting but I wasnt sure if it was the quality of the video.
I dont know. To me it looked leaps above Uncharted because in Uncharted similar quality is present only during cut scenes where they use the in game engine with higher quality asssets to record them.
This one is supposed to be in real time while retaining high detail, the hair appear very natural and smooth, they are very realistically animated, the lighting and shadows on hair is beyond what is found in Uncharted 3 I believe, there is motion blur AND object motion blur, there is some form of subsurface scattering (or some trick) on the leaves (and I think on faces too?) I havent seen before in any other PS3 game, while each leaf also cast detailed shadows and polygon edges appear too small.
In general I have never seen such high quality shadows in a PS3 game ever

If someone told me it used the in game engine to render this offline I would have said....well ok. That gives a good indication of what the in game graphics will look.

But it is supposed to be real time.

That is gonna look good. I can already see chasing sequences or escaping sequences ala Uncharted coupled with survival horror and surprising events.

I thought it did sound like North to be honest with you.
