What's the longest non-rpg game?
What if...
ND is redoing LOU's multiplayer because
it looks like Tomb Raider's?
I kid.

I'm expecting the multiplayer to be scrapped.

3 months away and not a peep lol. I guess that's normal for some games.

Didn't they say Uncharted 3 was about that long? It took me 7 hours the first time.
As long as it's good though, length doesn't matter too much to me.

I think a story should only be as long as it needs to be. If you intentionally try to draw it out longer to prolong the experience, it's going to show in the final product. That's how you end up with games that drag on for too long.

I had to resort to Gamefaqs. It was nightmare inducing.
Skyward Sword is a great example of this. I have no will to replay that game for a while despite the god tier dungeons.
I think this actually has the potential to be a game you might enjoy. I'm excited for you to be honest.

Is it an updated Deus Ex? I haven't been following the game that closely.

20? We have to be reasonable here.
I'm the type of player where it'd probably take me 20 hours anyway. Even in linear shooters I sometimes just walk around random areas looking for any little hidden easter egg or hidden path or just enjoy the scenery.
Hopefully 10, but yeah pretty much. Devs always overestimate.

Pretty much the same as an uncharted game. I can live with that.
How customizable will the experience be? Can we turn off items highlighting for example?
Well it is 1 of the 3 games I'm looking forward to this year, not including next gen stuff right now. I'm putting a lot of hope into the AI that they've been hyping.

lol! indeed, it is one of the worst forums on the internet
I always forget that this game has multiplayer.
Would the second one be Bioshock Infinite? (I'm only asking since the 2 games seem to want to achieve the same thing when it comes to AI).
This is terribly short and I'm not going to pretend thats an okay length for a single player game. I still remember all of the people who hated on the Last Story for only being 35 hours long.
*Those* Fans will defend anything it to death though.
I will pay no more than 15 dollars for a 15 hours game. A dollar per hour of gameplay I will get out of it. Its not worth any more than that to me. I judge my games based on enjoyment and content. Not unless it a large amount unique routes with a lot of endings.
I still fail to see just what everyone find so amazing about the Last of Us to begin with though. Beyond Two souls seems like the more interesting and unique title.

Are you seriously comparing the length of an RPG to an action adventure game?

I can believe that. We're talking 3 and a half years in ND time.

Come on Andrew, it's Bioshock Infinite! Even if he's kinda badmouthing it... But he means Irrational antecedents after SS2 which was only... Bioshock 1.
Will post it here too then.

Interview with Arne:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQKGsyCcHjI
Scanning the quoted part that ISN'T the interview with Neil, there's a lot of radically incorrect shit in there, as Neil mentioned in his tweet. I don't know where some of this stuff came from other than poetic license. I would take 99% of the info supposedly from the magazine (the translated part) with a massive grain of salt - in fact, only one line is true.
Plus what's quoted above - even to me the interview questions mostly don't sound like Neil.
Would be good to try to secure a copy of the magazine ourselves.

What the hell is going on? ...anyway thanks arne for the clarification.

Thank you. Well, that clears things up at least.

what did naughty dog say uncharted 3 would take? I tried to look and didnt find anything on what they said but what others said. I remember it took me just about 10 hours.
I don't think I'll ever understand the obsession with game length. I guess it's because I just don't have the time to play 100 hour games these days, a nice, 8 or 9 hour game is perfect for me.
With the Last of Us, though, I'm going to savor the experience.
Also, each Uncharted game took me about 13+ hours to complete first time. I took in every beautiful visual, and explored every nook and cranny, and those games are linear as fuck.

Then how about I compare to Zelda which is also and Actin-Adventure game but 3 times as long, or to Brutal Legend which is also an action-adventure game, or to Assassin's Creed which is also an action-adventure game, or to Batman Arkham City which is also an action-adventure game, or to Castlevania Lord of Shadow which is also an action adventure game, or Darksiders which is also an action-adventure game, or to Infamous which is also an action adventure game. They all provide at least 30+ hours of gameplay.
