Deceptive due to the small gif but pretty sure it's just a water puddle.
Jesus... In the gameplay with no commentary, one of the enemies yelled "DAD" after you burned one of the guys alive with a molotov. Naughty Dog isn't playing around in this game.
This really does look great. I'm not super hyped for it, but I probably will pick it up just because it seems to be doing some very interesting things.
he even said boss fights! I had wished for that a couple days ago in another thread.
one reason I really can't get around to finishing the first one is the more weighty movement just doesn't feel as good and snappy to me as something like MGSV. More agile Ellie should help a lot with that.

I was pretty wowed by the trailer but admittedly a bit underwhelmed by the lack of detail in that Seattle neighborhood from one of the press videos, that area in particular looked quite current gen and not much above UC4's environments. But hey its one small area and the outdoor snowy vistas look great (thought not really besting RDR2 either), plus I'm sure we're in store for some mighty impressive city environments. I'm sure this will be a GOTG candidate easily in terms of scope.

The best thing about all this footage is that despite how incredible it all is, we've only seen the tip of the iceberg. Let's just say that the final game ends up being about 25 hours long. That means the press only played about 10% of the total game since they only played 3 hours.
honestly as a story focused guy that just makes me apprehensive - endings are everything
Also no, the gif is missing frames but basically the clicker is making the wood planks fall when it's attacking that's why it's fallen over the door.
Honestly, I want them to show more. People played 3 hours at the preview event and all they allow the rest of us to see is ~10 minutes of b-roll gameplay. I don't need more story stuff. Just more enemy encounter footage. I want to see more of the highly praised AI, and more if the new mechanics in action.
Yes, it's to cover up her bite. According to Halley, she covered it with an acid mark and had an ex-girlfriend tattoo over it.
Sweet, was hoping this was the case because the initial scuffle seems pretty intense, so that would make sense.
Is that motion matching at work? It's like her hand "morphs" into a more appropriate pose.I'm noticing these weird magnetism flare-ups in the animations, did they comment if this was particular to the preview build? It's weirdly distracting, given how much can be going on in the scene.
Same here.
I know playable demos are pretty much dead in this day and age, but it'd really cool if they would release that vs. humans mission at some point in the future
Probably. Also, people should remember that this game is still in the oven for at least 5 months. They're gonna do polishing on top of polishing for the last months.
While the visuals and gameplay improvements are getting a lot of attention, the sound design seems like a huge leap forward for ND in general. It sounds like some DICE war tapes-type stuff. Everything is loud and punchy.
That no commentary gameplay is pretty low quality, but it's better than nothing, I guess. Need to see it in 4k.
You know that new ND game is coming when people scout not final gameplay footage for even a second of some inconsistency
Dammit. Dina/Ellie make too many jokes about shooting each other and killing each other...is that them letting our guard down or obvious foreshadowing?
Can someone edit picture #4 and #6 and remove the text in the corner ? I have a MacBook I tried in the editor but got nowhere lolBeautiful! :)
That, just like the trailer, seems way too on the nose. I think that dialog is just showing you their sense of humor. That and just showing you the type of world they're in. Death is all around them so it's something they always have to think of.
They were born in that world. It's everything they've known. Which is why i think this game is going to be much more...gory. Joel is still from "our days".
Ellie has only known this life. I'm sure she's gonna do something that even us, the players will be shocked. They will address this somehow.
Ellie: "You know how you're gonna die?"
Dina: "Let me guess. You're gonna kill me?"
HMMM......
I don't give a shit about any of these NPCs if all they do is kill anybody who enters their territory. Burn them all. I'll try not to kill any dogs though. I loved that 'Dad!' detail.
Tommy's faction almost kills Joel and Ellie in TLoU1 due to trespassing on their turf. I feel it's a pretty reasonable stance in TLoU's world. I'm actually going to try and not kill them I think.
He didn't die, he's not the victim. It's been confirmed that the second half of the demo takes place in Seattle after the traumatic event and that's where Joel shows up in the demo.
Here's our coverage :)
Tommy would have probably voted for Trump. They all deserve to die! :D

One thing I noticed is that human enemies use other craft items besides Molotovs, as there was a scene where a guy threw a smoke bomb at Ellie and it looked like it stunned her a bit.
I don't think i've ever read previews this gushing. I can't believe what they are achieving here.

I can't stress how much I appreciate the game
having Ellie talk about a former lover
Lol. And well yeah, they probably aren't nice people so I can understand showing no mercy. But I'm a sucker, also killing someone's dog that has a name (even if it wants to eat me and is virtual) just makes me feel too much like a bastard, I can't orphan dogs either.
