an autograph?
It's not bound to be the contrary...
All of this stuff is different in the game just look at the info in the op.

Love this screen, the expressions are perfect and it looks really brutal. You can see the NPC's eyes bulging, it actually looks like he is choking
Yeah very impressive,you can see the veins in his arm as well.
Yeah I like to see the game in motion and the mechanics at work.
GI seen 10 minutes of it and said it was amazing.

Yess, I feel people are underestimating it a bit. If all works out, has the potential to be my favorite game! It's a tall order, but I'm confident in their abilities.
Yesss! This is exactly the kind of game I've been wanting. I've been feeling games have been too fast and "loud"/hollywood lately. And I'm starting to appreciate the really subtle quiet moments in film and I've been wanting to see that from a game. That ambient feel is my favorite part about the games I play...

So f'in good. Sound propagation O_O
I bet we will mostly hear music doing cutscenes and some intense moments maybe.
I doubt we will hear much doing the general gameplay.

Don't they do this in a lot of games allready?
But it sounds great. I'm getting really exited for the music too.
That sound design interview sounds great, but I need to keep my expectations in check because if I go by everything that's been released so far and I assume it's going to translate perfectly into the game, I might go full retard thinking this will be a video game from the Holy Heavens.

Yeah lots of modern games do, but the new tech sounds pretty interesting the way they are building on whats already there.
Damn it Nate!
lol just blew my mind
We know ND are reading this thread. We want an easter egg.
wow lol
the sound in this is going to be fucking incredible if they do this right. I've always wanted to see a game where they purposely shut off the music and you're only left with sound effects to help engage you. I think that makes things much more intense and rather than having a soundtrack ruin those portions.

The more I think about this game the more I'm convinced it would be more interesting if you played the game as the girl rather than the guy. You'd feel way more vulnerable etc.
I'm convinced ND will have a section where you play as her, at least...

From what I am reading you will feel plenty vulnerable in the game playing as Joel.
I think there can be many scenarios where playing as Joel might be far more vulnerable due to the burden/fear he has of protecting/losing Ellie. By playing Ellie (all the time) you might constantly feel like there's a very capable man near and ready to help you. Thus the sense of vulnerability could be lost.
That's what I think anyway.
That has been suggested in almost every interview after the reveal cut-scene. Scarce ammo will play a major role according to ND.

Sure, but you're always going to feel more vulnerable as a teenage girl.
Not to mention it would be interesting to play as someone other than an adult male for once!
Not really, because mechanically it's almost guaranteed it'd play the exact same way. You'd just *look* more fragile.

I don't think that's true. You wouldn't be a great fighter, would you? It'd be more about hiding, staying out of danger, etc etc as Joel was the main person who fought the zombies. Perhaps you could help grab a few people in certain circumstances or something, but you'd never be able to fight someone that well. As he was fighting maybe you could find an escape, secure an area, or something like that.
You'd need really good AI for Joel to make that work though.

When did GI start putting fanfic in their game articles? A year ago, something like that? I really don't know how anyone stomachs reading them, it is so damn corny. If there's one example that shows just how lame things have gotten with storytelling in games, it's this.
Unsurprisingly this one was extra corny.

If that actually was the case I agree with you it would be way more fun and tense. I just think that in reality if they actually were going to let you play as Ellie, they would basically have you playing in the same way Joel does now. I just don't see them going through with the idea of letting Joel handle most of the combat while you hide or sneak around enemies.

Yeah, I don't either. I still think the game will be fun in its current form, I just can't help but wonder what cool stuff they could try if they had Ellie as the main character
In reality I'm not sure we're at the point where they'd be able to do it justice.I understand wanted to play as a younger character.
The game having little ammo, weapons that break, and time need to apply health packs make Joel just as vulnerable.
Thats not the game they are going for though and to me would be boring.

To you. To me it would be really interesting.
I mean, Amnesia was a game where you just ran away from enemies and it was the most scary/tense experience ever.

Yeah, I hear ya. It would be a really great concept if they actually did let you play like that. I just don't think it'll ever happen with a big budget AAA game :\.

Oh man, I like the way you think. They could really make the last hour or two different in style if they did that.
Good idea!
Yes Amnesia does look great but its not the type of game ND wants to make.

I'm not saying it is, I'm just imagining what they could do!
Nice, they said they have about 170 people now.

You should give them a change, they are really informative.
