I'd be happy with a 12-15 hour game. Uncharted 3 was too short IMO (even though I felt like I was slogging through the 2nd half)

why are people saying this game will be linear? there was one gameplay section they showed off, where they did an entire demo of an area, and then the next time they skipped the entirety of that same area, went on a different path, and had a different outcome.
linear to me means that you are forced into a strict path in which you do what everyone else playing the game has to do, and you all have the same experience. i have no doubt there is a path to follow, but i can see leeway in how you approach getting from A to B.

Well, Uncharted 2 had you exploring a village already (is this a spoiler yet?), and if that game was considered linear by the developers, at least in comparison to TLoU, I don't think its that impossible for this to happen in a game considered wide-linear. You never know though.
There is a lot of irony in here. Read carefully.
ND call that wide linear with pinch points to advance the story.
yea same. I could see the village a checkpoint type level where you can stock up on ammo, supplies and whatever other gear you need for the following levels.
furthermore, in OP's blog post it's noticed that although the ending is the same there are multiple ways of getting to the ending. I'm assuming it's in locations like this that can determine the path to your ending. depending on who you interact with and how you interact with people, in this village for example, will change the way you get to the end of the game.
Bruce had stated it will be slightly more than UC2's length if I remember correctly. No way will it be RE4 length.

That's highly unlikely with how today's games are trending. 9 to 10 hours max is what I'd predict.

Can't unsee crappy trees and low res stairs
IMO a 25 hour linear game gets boring because how much can you do yo keep people interested without becoming stale and boring? I'd say the perfect length for these games are between 9 to 12 hours, that's just me tho

They need to scrap development and start over with a Cody Diablo penned script. I'd pay for that trainwreck
I kind of get an MGS-lite vibe from the demo. That's kind of how I interpret "wide-linear". Not as constrained and non emergent as Uncharted, but definitely funneling you along a tract with the illusion of freedom
Yeah, I love to be disappointed.
Well. half the magic of RE4 was how it made that length work. You were never bored. Hell, the game barely let you relax.
But whatever. If it's Uncharted length as some are posting, it's more than long enough. In fact, I even think UC2 might be an hour or two too long.

2 people staring?....
Is this old?
The Last of Us comic by Dark Horse will be called American Dreams.
Comic Bulletin has an interview with the crew involved with it, which includes the game director Neil Druckmann. I found this interesting:
Launches Spring 2013.

I love you, Wario. I really do. I hope you know that.
Fucking lovely cover art. And I'm gonna need that soundtrack! I've heard this fella's work on YouTube, it's excellent.
Now to watch the trailer in glorious HD.

Her (pen) name is Diablo Cody and she's quite good. Certainly better than Cage.
It's becoming really evident how many people haven't been following the game.

GLORIOUS.
Not sure how I feel about the MP and bonuses, but i'm not going to eat crow like I did with U2.

Man, I love that split-second shot of Joel wearing the gas mask. Gives off a "shit is getting heavy feeling".
I really... really hope this game doesn't leave me bawling tears as the credits roll. The acting and story looks like it'll be aces.
And ew at the creatures.
ND, you've got me hooked again.

Thats indeed creepy/disgusting. Amazing work.
Errm... I have been following the game and I knew about the comic. Just never heard of that interview and release date. Oh well.

I was moreso referencing how inappropriate her writing style would be for a project like Beyond's. It's like asking Amy Sherman Padillo to pen the script for Terminator. It'd be amusing, but who knows, Cage has it in him to fuck it up terribly as well. I just wonder whether Ellen's been subjected to some sort of reality distortion field from being around Cage, cause she's had nothing but praise for the story in every interview I've seen her in
Here's a high quality version of the trailer (that I capped those pics from)

Love the box art.

Great box art! I'm hoping the OST is a physical copy, but they're calling it part of a pack so I'm assuming it's digital.
i heard that. multiplayer was soso for me in UC3. although the intro and ending sequences were dope.
luckly, knowing Naughty Dog's track record, you won't need to play too much MP to earn the platinum trophy as well.

Boxart looks great. Second in-game preorder benefits are stupid. I have no problem with the album as a preorder bonus, but they other stuff is stupid.

I really, really hope this does well. If it's released close to GTA V (since R* seems to have May locked up), I am dreading what'll happen.
Hopefully there will be at least 2-3 weeks of a gap between the two. Eitherway's this one is def having long legs. I cant see a ND franchise failing in terms of sales with the heavy marketing they get from Sony.
I am going to love this game as much as the next person but I hope people here keep their expectations in check. It does look amazing, but some of the pics being posted are in engine, rather than real-time rendered. The anti-aliasing and polygon count should be obvious enough.
EDIT: watched it again, all of it still looks fucking amazing.

I think as gamers we should all take the time to thank Sony for allowing one of its developers the incredible freedom to pursue a game world and concept as unique as this game. I think it is fucking amazing how a publisher lets a developer create such a seemingly compelling new IP in this day and age, at this late of a cycle. I can't wait for this
I dont think there will be infected creatures in the multi. It will be survivors vs survivors with prob the same cat and mouse gameplay that is found in the SP game with focus on melee weapons and very little on guns due to lack of ammo.
