Incredibly Naive
Your tag is apt. ND has a design team that's pretty much unparalleled. Don't draw conclusions when there's no info about it at all.

Let's find out what the deal is. If it is snatched I expect there to be a new opening in the ND concept art team pretty soon.

I should've worded it better it could be. Stealing peoples work is frowned upon severely. The irony in calling me naive for stating the obvious is not lost.
 
I wouldn't say that. A lot of games do different things better than other games, the facial animation in ROTTR and QB imho is much better. Especially when it comes to the women of the game. Meanwhile UC4 has larger scale scenes and obviously ND put in a lot of work for things that other devs rarely attempt in realtime, like characters actually taking a suit top off for instance.

EDIT:Huh. I felt like I had seen that painting image before but thought it was a coincidence. ._.

I really don't think so. RotTR often feels really mechanical.

So is Nate's Brother going to turn evil or will he stay good and die?

The game will end up being an elaborate ploy by Sam to get Nate arrested, absolving Sam of his criminal charges. Sam'll end up consoling Elena on her loss of a husband, whom she'll think is dead, and the two will get involved. Nate will grow old in prison, escape as a guy nearing 60 years old, and arrive home to see Sam has replaced him.

Cut to black.

What did they do to kid Nathan?

That and the cheesy dialogue "if you're done lying to me, stop lying to yourself", are the only negatives I see. Can't wait till April.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
I still don't get why they made Nathan Drake's brother so ugly.

Having magazine cover model run around with hobo looking guy is so bizarre, they don't even look related.

Are there multiple endings in this game? Multiple dialogue choices exist so there should be multiple endings I hope. It adds replayability to the main story mission.

This was a great trailer and I look forward to playing the game at some point this year.

Well, feel free to continue to disagree. Facial animation is this game's specialty, and no, neither of those games do it better. At least not after seeing this trailer.
I would sincerely consider giving ROTR or QB's previews a watch, especially considering that they started out with keyframing, and are using a more traditional performance capture setup compared to CD or Remedy who're both using incredibly high quality capture methods, CD especially, they used MOVA. In-game character animation is ND's specialty, not specifically facial.

I really don't think so. RotTR often feels really mechanical.

There are so many nuances in that webm that it kinda disapproved your point. ._.

Nathan's brother, in my eyes, is clearly the scummy lowlife of the two. Prison tats, drinking problem, money issues, that kind of thing.

I wouldn't say that. A lot of games do different things better than other games, the facial animation in ROTTR and QB imho is much better. Especially when it comes to the women of the game. Meanwhile UC4 has larger scale scenes and obviously ND put in a lot of work for things that other devs rarely attempt in realtime, like characters actually taking a suit top off for instance.

EDIT:Huh. I felt like I had seen that painting image before but thought it was a coincidence. ._.

Just no! QB and ROTR doesn't have skin deformation. Didn't i said to you that you should check NX Gamer E3 Demo video analysis? Oh, yes i did. U4 is far better in facials than both. And alsou U4 looks quite better than both also.

Man I really don't understand how you could feel that way. The Order is far better than ROTTR and UC4 looks even better than that. QB has some amazing visual effects but the character models are not one of them.

On a side point CE thank you so much for educating me on The Division. That game is amazing! I would have never tried it had you not told me about it.

before jumping to closureinging.

Do we know for a fact that they didn't ask for permission? Maybe they did.

Why must you always ask the guys under the bus?
 
what is CA
Chromatic aberration. Its a defect caused by shitty camera lenses on pictures taht for some reason game developers are copying. This is an example I always give. Life Is Strange. You cannot turn it off in game settings, but you can force it off with a config file, and the game just looks so much better

One of the more extreme examples, the other would be bloodborne. A lot of games try to use a little CA because it gives an illusion of anti aliasing, but in reality is just blurs and distorts the image and looks like shit

Purely speculating here but, what if the same artist worked on AC and Uncharted and just picked an old piece of concept art and made a slight variation of it just to use it for a background image?

This and Ratchet & Clank in the same month. Holy...that's another level of graphics. This second wave of exclusives are really pushing the system.

Disagree. QB doesn't even look that good. Nice, but not great. U4 is in a different league, imo.

Man, I love Naughty Dog, but, that's the second time (in a row) that they've used someone else art in their games.

Someone on their art team needs a talking-to. Get that shit under control.

My God.



They have surpassed....Everything.



Amazing to me that this is there "Uncharted 1/2" effort on PS3 equivalent.


The Last of Us 2 will look even better than this. And that makes me warm inside.

does anyone care really though.

Uhh, if it was literally ANYOTHER developer, GAF would have their pitchforks and torches out. Not sure how this stuff works, but if they got the ok for it, then that's cool, still weird. But if it's in the final game then I smell a lawsuit and somebody is getting canned.

They wouldn't use concept art from another game for something as important as what seems to be Nate's nagging reminder to return to adventuring.

I've seen previews for both games and I can't agree with that. I think the facial animation in this game is better the Orders, which still looks better then ROTR and QB to me.

Edit: To be fair, I don't even find QB to be impressive looking (e.g same tier). I think ROTR looks way better then it.
