Sorry but not everyone would turn into rapist or a murderer. That's stupid to assume. Most of the people would try to reorganize at least in smaller groups and try to survive. This dog eat dog mentality is stupid.

Well, Jak definitely needs better treatment than some unproven studio. But yeah, platformers of the non-Nintendo kind are having a hard time these days. But most likely the rest of the studio is on a new IP for the PS4. Uncharted can't hold its fans for much longer, honestly, the formula is wearing thin.

That's crazy. I Am Legend is one of my favorites movies within the last 5 years.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Did you go into it without having read the book? If so I could see someone possibly getting some enjoyment
out of the beginning,
The book really murders it. And if you're not a Will Smith fan...

This sounds more like a tower defense or RTS game. You should look at Fortnite instead.

I would also love it if this game would have a third person view. The great things I love about third person view games is the ability to see your character. With Uncharted, you can see Drake's facial animations, and movement animations. I also tend to be more connected to the character I'm playing as if I see them more on my screen. In a first person view game, you only see your character when you die. The animations of other characters are there for viewing, but it's just not the same.

I Am Legend is probably one of the most atmospheric, tense, creative and fun survival horror books of the last one hundred years and in many ways created the genre as it is now.
Someone could have made a more faithful, much better film for 1/4 of the budget.
I do too. The more I watch the trailer the more I like it. Excellent reveal.

The buddy characters don't die in Uncharted, in my experience. I'm not sure if they even can.
If it's an escort mission where the person you are escorting cannot die then why would you use "escort mission" as a pejorative, anyway? People hate them because sometimes the AI is shitty and it results in cheap deaths. Take that away, and it's not an "escort mission" in any traditional sense of the word.
You're seriously making the most extreme claim possible, that this entire game will be an escort mission, yet your definition of it is meaningless.

I never said they would stop visiting these new franchises. They won't and they shouldn't.
Jak 4 being beneath them is fucking bullshit though. It's perfectly fine for someone else to port the games to HD since they are done already, or even do a spin off game (with their supervision) like Bend with Uncharted Golden Shower. I don't know if they supervised the PSP Daxter and Jak games, but I don't think they did, so maybe they care more about Uncharted than Jak after all.
Sanzaru making Sly 4 is a big slap in the face of Sly fans, I'm not sure SP is completely happy about that or they just didn't care as they had moved on and don't have enough bandwidth for 2 simultaneous games currently. ND is big enough where they do have the bandwidth to develop 2 games simultaneously and they are the ones that should do Jak 4, not Ready at Dawn or Sanzaru or whatever.
Same here, primarily after finding out about its predecessors The Omega Man and The Last Man on Earth
Omega Man being the cheesiest of the three but still very enjoyable.
I agree that the first half was excellent, but it really, really goes down hill when
the dog dies and other the people show up.
I haven't actually seen any of the other adaptations, but there are a few different ones. One of them is probably more similar to the source material. I'm a big fan of Matheson's short stories and Twilight Zone stuff, but haven't ever read any of his novels. Maybe I'll pick up I Am Legend.

Yep it does, still fun though. I think 28 days later is MILES better than it too.
So you played it and it sucks? If game is good I don't care who makes it, that placebo effect that studio logos has on some of you is absolutely hilarious

Not to be one of "those guys" and sound pretentious but, I would highly recommend reading the book. The movie did change some key things that I really didn't like.

Yeah. Like, the entire ending. Very disappointing.
If I get any vibe from this trailer, it's actually more like The Road.

It's not a placebo effect when the developer is unknown or mediocre. And I believe the main story line games should be developed by its creators. Bend is gonna deliver a great experience with Uncharted, albeit SP only experience, but I wouldn't want them making Uncharted 4. I haven't played it but I feel pretty confident in saying that Resistance Vita is gonna suck and will probably be the worst game in the series just based of how mediocre the developer is.
We don't know yet. I'm sure will find out sometime today if there's an NDA or not. TTP is there so he'll probably share what he can.
Me too. Awesome music. Reminds me of Gustavo Santaolalla who did the music for the movie Motorcycle Diaries (see also Ronroco, his solo album).
I love the instrument used, which according to wiki, is a charango (a sort of "guitar" in South America). I presume it's the same instrument used here or at least it sounds similar. Such a moody instrument.
I wonder if Greg Edmonson is doing the music.

I haven't read or seen The Road, but I hope this game really capitalizes on the father/daughter relationship (even if they're not really related by blood) and the fact that one of them knows what the world was like before and the other is growing up in the new one. Also, she has to learn morality from him, but at the same time he's doing all this horrible shit that he probably couldn't have imagined himself doing before everything went sour.
It's a powerful premise. Don't fuck it up, ND!
edit: I mean, she wouldn't be learning morality from him from scratch. I said that badly. But he'd obviously have a big influence as a parental figure.
The book's also been made into a movie 4 times now. When I am legend came out, I was already sorta annoyed.

Same here! I thought it sounded like a more simplistic version of the song Iguazu, which was featured in Deadwood.

The song that plays after (Deadwood spoilers)
Wild Bill Hickok gets shot.
Edit: Wow, posted the exact same thing as Wouwie.
It's honestly the character interaction stuff that I'm really excited for in this. ND has done such a wonderful job of making me love the characters in Uncharted that I have a ton of confidence that they can pull this off. If the character performances are as natural as in Uncharted this could be really special.
Thanks for the info. Big thread to search back through when you wake up and wasn't sure if we knew yet. Can't wait to see more on this.
Sucker Punch was also unknown at one point, so was ND, etc. You are just jumping to the conclusions. The fact is we won't know how good next Sly game really is. Maybe it will suck, but to dismiss it right away just because it doesn't have a logo of original developer is silly.
Plus we don't know how involved SP is.
Resistance Vita will be mediocre? Bro that whole franchise is mediocre. Sure R3 was really nice game, but it is not AAA that some Sony bros make it sound, or at least want to believe that it is.
Same goes for KZ btw.
Embargo should last a week at most. What reason do they have to keep this hidden? I'm even expecting video of said press demo relatively soon. If its been in development with a full team for two years, I'm sure it's in a state that's excepts le for media AND consumer sight.

Damn I've listened to this song a few times now. Pretty awesome. And great in the trailer.

Killzone is not mediocre, it's a good series that is plagued by bad decisions from the developers. I have actually been meaning to write a LTTP on Killzone 3 but haven't gotten to it, thanks for the reminder. It's a B level franchise. Resistance is not mediocre either, it is just passable (with the exception of Retribution, that game was fun), but Resistance Vita will be the most mediocre game in the series, bar none.
And yes, I'm dismissing Sly 4 right away, maybe they can prove me wrong and persuade me otherwise but right now it's not even slightly on my radar, but it would have been if it was SP developing it. Be honest, if Jak 4 is announced, do you think people will pay much attention if Mass Media Inc (the people doing the HD port) are the ones making it? I don't, and rightfully so. Now if they say Naughty Dog is making (even if it's ND's Z team), then people will definitely keep an eye on it.
EDIT: I'm gonna stop talking about this because it's completely OT.
REALLY hope the online embargo lifts much sooner.

The Road is completely unrealistic. Humans wouldn't behave like selfish animals and do anything to survive. They would band together and make daisy bracelets for each other and have hugging competitions.
Obviously have not read the book (which is free to get online, I suggest you do!). Even the alternate/original ending is a travesty to the book.
Also I hope they make Ellen Page look less like Ellen Page unless Ellen Page is secretly working on motion capture for Ellen Page. Ellen Page!
I hate Ellen Page.

Hate is a strong word. What did she do to you?
I think he's just jealous she's getting all the attentions
Like I said in another comment. People would not go ape shit and start rapping each other and steal, murder. Just look how people behaved in Japan. Everyone tried to help each other, risking their lives. There was almost zero stealing. People were finding and returning things, etc.
This theory that we would all go insane is just silly. People would just try to reboot.

I hope they make the game more Ellen Pagey just for him.
She forced me to watch Juno which is an affront to God.

LOL! She annoyed me so much in that movie which is why I dislike her...
She was decent in Trailer Park Boys, thats about it.
So you want a serious version of Terraria? Shit, I want a big budget, post apocalyptic version of Terraria too.
