Re: The Last of Us (PS3)

Eurogamer Preview

The game will play out across various US cities and it's suggested that survival will involve both killing and scavenging. Do you control Joel alone? Ellie? Both? Is it co-op? Naughty Dog isn't saying.

"It's story-driven, [but] the whole triangle is story, gameplay and art," says Staley. "As a gamer it's all about strategy and giving the player enough tools in their toolkit so that they can come upon something and choose and have the consequences play out within their choices."

How those choices play out remains unclear, but don't expect any kind of Heavy Rain-esque branching narrative. "We're telling it the way we've been developing this method at Naughty Dog," explains Druckmann. "We're evolving it, but I can't say anymore.

So I was correct when I was assuming the girl in the trailer getting the ammo for the guy suggested that ammo amongst other resources will be scarce.

I love it.

So this Ashley Johnson that plays Ellie in the game, is she the same Ashley Johnson that played Chrissy on Growing Pains?

yes she is.

Cool. I knew the voice sounded familiar, but I kept thinking it was Ellen Page since the character model looks so much like her.

New info from Spanish site

• You will control Joel throughout the game.
  
• One player adventure. (No news of online mode - coop mode)
  
• They show a scene in which Joel is teaching Ellie how to shoot a gun (but the Dogs said that they're not sure if the scene will appear in the final version of the game or not).
  
• A game centered in the relation of the two main characters (Joel & Ellie) and not on the infected.
  
• Face animations and expressions will be done by hand.
  
• It is still not known which is the relation between the protagonists.
  
• To the infected & other survivors.. a third enemy will appear: the mother nature.
  
• In order to add more tension, more realism and nerve to the cinematics, it is being tried to imitate a style of "camera in hand", something that we already saw with spectaculars results in the film "Children of the Men".
  
• It will be a game less linear than Uncharted, with exploration elements.

That trailer definitely reminded me of The Road.

The fact that Naughty Dog is making it makes it a must buy. Can't wait to hear more.

In an interview with USA Today Naughty Dog’s fungus zombie adventure has been confirmed for a 2012, early 2013 release date. A few more game details were teased as well including the fact that it will be a third person game with a similar player view to Uncharted, and that the two leads, Joel and Ellie, will meet at the beginning of the story. (See 28 The Last Of Us Screens)

Creative director Neil Druckmann says the game’s male lead is a “a vicious survivor. When he meets this girl, she is his one chance at redemption”. Apparently the inspiration was indeed the fungas infected ants shown in the early trailers.

Yeah, instantly thought "Hey! It's Juno!"

But Troy Baker? This game will have top notch acting then. Dude showed up outta nowhere in the last couple years, now he's pure beast mode.
