If they can make normal encounters interesting, then I'm interested to see their take on zombies (mushroom folks) too. Probably more important to keep innovating. Some imperfections should be expected. The other developers are not exactly perrfect, or "one step away from great things".

i was tired of zombie games done wrong - the concept of zombie game, i have no problems with.
Got into the last screening (hi Arne!). Way more interesting than Uncharted. Has a more captivating tone, but the main thing that does it for me is the scarcity of resources and the hard decisions made there in terms of how to approach the combat. It also allows for bullets to be important and deadly, which is an important change from ak47 bullet sponge uncharted crap.

Game of the fucking forever.
Also what the hell?They can take the supplies too?
Man they have to die now.

They already confirmed no ground breaking pee meter.Want this so bad. Arne, please have the team consider a "hardcore" mode. Fewer resources, fewer hits, etc.
Maybe you need to eat to survive.

... and even a noob like me wants a HUD-less presentation mode for this game.

it was damn impressive.
also love the ingredients to make a med kit are the same ingredients to make a molotov, lovely balance there

I think pee meter might be interesting, but since you can pee basically everywhere, not as good as a food meter.
Zombies may be interesting here because unlike evil people, you can't turn zombies back into good folks anymore. It would s*ck if either of them becomes a zombie towards the end.

I think people just thought that the demo looked too good to be true. So, it was hard for them to believe that the AI could operate on the fly like that. Plus, ND is now known for Uncharted, which is scripted. Still, it's nice to confirmation that they're giving you a lot of player choice and that the AI is just that damn good.

This sounds incredibly reminiscent of the so called "emergent gameplay" that Bioshock was touted to deliver in that AI was not static and there were many ways to progress through the game and different experiences in toll entirely depending upon player action and the AI's reaction. Color me impressed. I do hope Naughty Dog can deliver on this premise, it's a huge step forward in immersion if they can.

I am eating crow right now :lol Looks utterly amazing and can't wait, disappointed it's another 2013 release though.
Just curious, but is Amy Hennig attached to this game?
Ok just noticed something. I think the E3 video showed a tamed shotgun to the face scene.
I remember someone saying that a shot that close to the face with a shogun would explode the head and I agree. I took a screenshot from the interview posted in the other thread and I think the shot to the head is different. It shows the head exploding now.
What do you guys think?
Need to watch E3 footage to confirm.

OK, best AI in a video game ever! This is sounding like one of the greatest games of all time.
Another interview after the closed door demo: http://revision3.com/rev3gamesoriginals/the-last-of-us-interview
Same here,they have to understand I need that bandage.

They really should remove them, I can already see the onrail part where you drive through a swarm of mushroom men while Elly machine-guns them down, on a ruined highway.
And the good old QTE sequence where the monsters is screaming in your face while he pushes himself onto you.

so when does this come out?? im sure its not soon enough lol
While I thought Red Dead Redemption was a wonderful game, it was a shame they devalued the power of their own guns by giving you nearly unlimited ammo and nearly unlimited enemies to use it all on. By giving you crappy guns every shot felt so much more powerful, crafting negative space around every action that I thought complemented the atmosphere in spades. Scavenging ammo off of corpses was also meaningful, every fight buying John a couple more bullets to last him a little longer, until you didn't need ammo anymore, and then it was suddenly everywhere and you never ran out. In a way Max Payne 3 improved on this by making you count your bullets (sometimes), but you're still killing so often that the act starts to mean absolutely nothing.
I want my action games to borrow from survival horror- take away all of my handicaps and make me feel like I've earned my victories (make them more like Godhand?), not just "pressed A" as everyone has been saying. Having four powerful bullets and having to plan their use is immediately more interesting than having several clips in my AK-47 and just pointing at enemies until they don't get up again. Especially when you have to plan ahead because there's no promise of any of the things you want or need in the future.

Basically it is a linear story line with encounters you can avoid.
Is my understanding from the GB interview at least

I'd like to see how it's not as scripted. I'm guessing it's still going from point A to B, but with the usual "stealth" path and "confrontation" path or whatever. The more open it is the better, but for now I expect linear.

I love the way shotgun-face says "motherfucker". So gutteral. He would slay in metal.

Yes please. And no on screen ammo count/hud/life bar and possibly no aim sight either.

Probably next year. Better start suffering.
I'm okay with that. If anything I felt with UC2 and 3 they showed too much and should have been more selective.
now that actually sounds pretty great. i hope they're able to pull it off.
it kinda sounds like 'what if heavy rain was a video game where seemingly minor choices had bigger results'. things you might normally do in video games because those are the things you normally do in video games having different payoffs depending on your personal choice sounds really cool.
