Kinda bummed, sounds like the multiplayer is just gonna be standard, UC-style multiplayer judging by the unlocks/boosters/cash/weapon customization. Oh well.

Boxart is great.

Yep. Like UC3, will play for the sp and not bother with the throwaway mp.

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

When you think about it, it's actually not that surprising that they create a new IP this late in the PS3 life cycle. The amount owner base is pretty much maxed out so lots of potential people to sell this too, then announce The Last of Us 2 for PS4 to help sell that.

 

[Izick]

Multiplayer could be interesting as long as it's not Uncharted in a post apocalyptic world.

 

[SamuraiX-]

This or:



This would've been better for the boxart.

Agreed.

Not digging the box art as much as some of the other art I've seen for the game but it still rocks compared to the industry standard for box arts.

Make me super excited for santa monica stig's new ip, and guerilla's new ip. Media Molecule new ip.

I hear Sucker Punch is also making new ip but not sure where I hear it from.

Sony is on fire lately, Last of Us, Tearaway, Puppetteer, Soul Sacrifice and the anove new op in devwlopment.

All the clear space on the right side of the boxart makes me think of a certain 10 filled cover I want to forget...

Damn nature, you scary.

I'm dying at the "An experience only improved by Doritos and Mtn Drew."

Well done. lol

I hope that town is explorable

 

[Misterhbk]

Yep. Like UC3, will play for the sp and not bother with the throwaway mp.

if its like UC3 then i'll be playing it for long ass time. Just played good 2-3 hours of UC3 multiplayer today. Been playing it since last NOV and probably won't stop until this launches. My body is ready.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Cover is really nice. Definitely stands out. I love that they are including the OST. That kind of stuff more than anything gets me to preorder

 

[Sn4ke_911]

IT IS OVER TESS!

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Wanna protect her.

Awesome box art.

 

[Kafel]

preorder bonuses suck

 

[rdrr gnr]

Seems so very expected. They could have been a lot more creative.

 

[UrbanRats]

- I like the title positioning on the cover.
- Not crazy about the cover art itself, but i don't think it's bad, either (just not that interesting).
- Really not interested in the MP, especially after reading about exp, unlockable melee kills and such bullshit.
- Dude, those skyboxes... OH, THOSE SKYBOXES.

 

[Squire]

I'm hoping the skins are the two main characters dressed like Jak and Daxter

Lol. The skins are them in their winter gear. You see Ellie in hers in the trailer. Everybody will wear those during the portion of campaign they're necessary. Uncharted does the same thing, except in UC2 they were just straight-up unlockables on the disc.

So glad people like the box art. See, you can put the girl in the front! #thelastofus

That is an awesomely disgusting looking thing and absolutely terrifying. God, I can't wait til this game comes out..

OST as a preorder bonus is great news. I wish more games would do that.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I hope this game is a day 1 digital download

I think I'm done buying discs

Ah yeah, it was nice to see that after the score filled cover UC2 had, the game I was referring to on my post was actually Arkham City In fact I had forgotten UC2 had that issue, albeit to a lesser extent.

 

[zroid]

box art has my approval

It's not amazing, but it's good.

 

[bigboss370]

my only problem with the boxart cover is that they went with that sunlight filter, instead of showing the colorfulness of the environment.

 

[DragonKnight]

Jesus. Game looks phenomenal but there is way too much hype surrounding a game we know very little about. Will wait for hands on previews before committing to an opinion. Walkthrough was pretty dope though. Still way early.

Some new art and screens as background images there. Cool website design, it reminds me of the superbot one. Very clean and beautiful.

 

[TripOpt55]

Watched the trailer again. It just looks so amazing.

lol wut are u talking about? sometimes all it takes is an announcement of a game to get hype going. ND has a proven track record, we got a couple trailers, and a couple direct gameplay walkthroughs as well. i'm pretty sure we have a solid idea of how the game is going to be, minus some surprises.

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

Agreed, I would of preferred something more akin to the original piece of art they put out,

But the one they are using is fine. I'm more curious what they are going to do with the flip side cover art.

 

[Squire]

Flip side art isn't really common enough to assume they're doing any.

Correct me if im wrong. I thought there was only one walkthrough played several ways. And only two trailers. Im not trying to be a debbie downer but there is still so mich we dont know. Have any outlets even played the game yet? Not to mention we know almost nothing of the how zombies will ties into everything.

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

Every Sony published game has them. Or at least every Sony published game I own has them.

Someone post those please, i'm on my phone and it's not working for me.

 

[zroid]

I'm with Wario, I'll pass on this and any future trailers. Just gimme da game.

 

[Stark]

It's not amazing, but it's good.

Likewise. It looks fine.

I guess so. I don't have a lot of first-party games on PS3.

iirc it's two walkthroughs, and the locations are right after one another. like the 2nd walkthrough got up to the point of the first walkthrough, skipped it, and moved to the area of the second walkthrough. and yes two trailers. and the zombie stuff seems like it will be left for us to discover when we play the game, which i'm perfectly fine with.

we know the basics, and thats good enough for me. i'm fine with figuring out everything else when i play it myself. what exactly do you have doubts about?

 

[iNvid02]

i like it, I think I'll want that soundtrack too

 

[LuuKyK]

Someone post those please, i'm on my phone and it's not working for me.

They are not really new. More like hd screens from the trailers? But there is a new art there.

 

[GQman2121]

Everything thus far make things seem like they're coming along nicely. The box art is fine. In fact, BioShock could have used something similar with their two leads.

Bioshocks ten minute walkthrough sold me on that game. Something like that but that touches on all aspects of the game would probably sell me.

 

[gibration]

I love the music they've used in their trailers so far. We've only heard that one song from Gustavo but Alone and Forsaken by Hank Williams on their GamesCom trailer was great too.

Multiplayer should be interesting. Don't know what to expect other than its emphasis on melee combat.

 

[zoukka]

Something's off with the girl in the cover. Kinda meh cover tbh.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I hope it's not Uncharted-like multiplayer.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

Loving the Boxart, can't wait !

 

[UrbanRats]

I hope it's not Uncharted-like multiplayer.

I hope they did something interesting, rather than deathmatch, but i doubt it.

Hell yeah they could have. It's weird as hell how central Liz is to that game's plot and seemingly the gameplay as well and yet is relegated to the back of the box.

No matter. Neil pretty much (indirectly) burned them on twitter.

Perfect box art. Even the text looks starkly commanding.
