haha we don't know if he's one of many who actually enjoys those parts on Uncharted, but that's the sad/funny truth. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

She still looks like Ellen Page. Now she just looks like Ellen Page circa Hard Candy where as before she looked like Ellen Page circa Inception.

A little offtopic, but anyone ever listen to the PS podcast? Are they worth listening to?

it's great, they like to have guest from various dev. they're enthusiastic about playstation. although sometimes even to the point of kinda ignoring the bad stuff. they rarely discuss sales, etc.
it's not as funny/entertaining as other gaming podcast imo, but I felt it was more informative, you get info for upcoming ps store updates etc. sometimes it really annoy me in other podcast they often forgot or totally make small mistakes when talking about a game. it usually didn't happen with ps blogcast.

Why are people so obsessed with labeling/relating things?
We got it, it's Ellen Page in Walking Dead

It's actually Josh Brolin in I Am Legend.
Or Old Nathan Drake in The Road.
Or Young Natalie Portman and Kinda But Not Really Jean Reno in Leon: The Professional (Post-Apocalyptic Overgrowth Urban Area Edition)
How do you mean?

They only describe it as wide linear, level will be more open than uncharted, but you're still following a linear story so still going from point to point. It's not an open world game
i think he means if its less linear, a little more open world i think
PS blogcast info:
-They want the quiet to be creepy, they want you to hear every footstep,voice and breath to find out where the enemy is.
-The build was from January
-They are not going to have cursing and violence for the sake of it
-The AI will behave differently based on number of people left and what weapons you have or they have.So if one guy is left he will be really scare and hide, so you have to fine him.
-Ellie is 14
-The want to make Ellie capable, she can get into danger sometimes but she can take care of herself.She helps you get out of rough spots.
-They want to give a certain amount of strategy in combat

It less linear than UC but not open world.
Definitely worth listening to. Make sure you listen to last week's episode, Bettenhausen was on.
I hope they didn't remove some of the cursing just because a few people complained.
Yes.
Yeah I agree.. In the context of the game it makes perfect sense to have a lot of foul language.
So good.

In the preview footage of the ambush, they noted Ellie saying "Hey fuck face!" when trying to get one of the guys' attention away from Joel so...I don't think the language will be that tame in the end.

but that was from January, we've heard about the ambush scene from previews etc. they could decide to change it since then. the cutscene we got with the new Ellie model have her say "oh, not good" when they're about to get hit by a bus. that doesn't sound like the girl who yell "Fuckface!"
These are the types of moments I hope this game delivers. There was a certain tension in Dead Island when you got separated from your crew and you were near death, and you could hear a mob of zombies running after you but you didn't want to turn around since it meant certain death.
Man the more I think about the possibilities of this type of setting, the more excited I get.
Correct, a brand new look.
Any chance we get to see the press demo of the old build in the pre-E3 special of GTTV Arne?

Jeff Gerstman was impressed? very interesting.
That's actually a very good sign.

This is looking to become the Resident Evil 4 of this generation.
Eh, way too premature to say things like this.
I've got a good feeling about this game, but I still need to see (lots of) gameplay before proclaiming anything like that.They said in the PSblogcast, that they dont know if they going to release it.Correct, a brand new look.

They are not.
A good point was made in the fact she dont curse outside of combat only in life or death situations so far.

on 1 hand, the demo is clearly old so it may not represent the game at it's best form, on the other hand, judging from previews, even in the old demo, it already looks great. I really want to see it.

It's not survival horror. We've been saying survival action quite a bit, to draw that distinction, even if it sounds a bit like marketing or PR fluff. So - you can still be not a fan of SH.

WTF are those people? Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Yeah I really want to see this.
Just by looking at the old pics I posted above you can see how good looking this game is.
I am glad we had this little talk.
No, its all good. They are just new enemy busts for the game: The Pinheads.
There is a third option here, you know. It's called unscripted gameplay. Like a random encounter. It's something Naughty Dog should look into to get past that whole unnatural, manufactured experience feeling that their Uncharted games give off, in my experience.
Everything about their games is so controlled. Even when they open up the levels, they still have control over what you're going to encounter (eg the desert scene in UC3, when you have an expansive sandy landscape before you, but you can only go to that city). The experience, while gorgeous and detailed, still feels cheapened by my lack of control. Too much direction, not enough spontaneity. For a counter example of something memorable, I once was playing Fallout 3 several years ago and while walking in the Wasteland a mile or so from a city, I heard skirmish coming from the city and wondered whether I should go check it out. Suddenly, a car in the city must have caught fire and exploded; the hood flew several hundred meters in the air and landed at my feet. It was a random experience for me, or at the very least, it felt random, and my love of the game skyrocketed.
I want The Last Of Us to have random experiences that are unique to each player.

I hope ND polishes the hell out of this game.
If the framerate is as good as UC2, I'm 100% sold.

What a tease. I need to see this game.
I'd look elsewhere. This is definitely no where near your Fallout story description. Listening/watching Greg Miller acting out the gameplay it's obviously still heavy on the scripting. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, there's room for these types of cinematic games, but people should keep their expectations in check and steer clear if they're looking for a sandbox or giant Fallout-esque RPG.
So MGS level freedom?
Looking the IGN video, I am getting really looking forward to the inevitable E3 gameplay footage.
