Oh I do. I want TLOU2 to have infected animals, insects and some made up monstrosities.
Probably won't happen tho :/
Interesting, apparently this thing causes injury and misfortune to whomever it's given to
Ellie is his baby girl. I doubt he'd make a fuss about it. He just wants her to be alive and to be okay.
The scientist never finished whatever they were doing, they were interrupted by needing to move and quickly did so. They were trying to find a cure, but seemingly failed or just didn't have enough time. The scientist who got bit was ordered to kill them, but got attached and released them before they were planning on leaving, which is were he got bit sadly enough.Some of the monkeys were possibly still infected though, we just don't know how many or what the infection even does to them, but safe to say they aren't effected like humans, but also likely points to them being able to infected humans.
I think it's actually the opposite. The charm is supposed to ward off the evil.
No, it's meant to ward off the evil eye.
You've got it confused, it's not the evil eye, it's a Hamsa (bracelet) which is worn to offer protection against the evil eye, as well as provide fortune, good luck etc.

Oh dear
A knife to the throat is the quickest way to ward off some evil.
Do you guys think it'll actually play like we've seen? It looked so damn smooth, I can't imagine it will.
But I love the dodge, could be like a Bloodborne like dodge, but with more realistic human mobility.

Without a doubt. That dodge is definitely hot.
If anything, there will just be visual and technical cuts.
I am really interested how dodge is going to work. It is fascinating because it seems like it is completely contextual.
She dodged like 5x in the E3 gameplay demo and everytime it was different. The animation work is ridiculous.
Hm, makes me wonder if she wears it to honor Dina or if Dina is still alive and gave it her as a good luck charm
If there's anything like this in the game I'd shit my pants bruh.
Annihilation bear is TLoU bear.
That thing was nightmare fuel, especially the sounds.
I remember being so creeped out by the audio design of the bear roar. Shit was fucked up, man.
Man... I can't wait for Tuesday! I hope we get media blow out, and maybe even reveal the different editions. (Prob too early?)
Probably. The media impressions will probably make the wait harder than it needs to be lol
I don't think we ever got an official explanation of how cordyceps jumped to humans anyway. If it is as grounded as the rest of the game, its likely that it was a man-made-mistake that led to this, and that means animals are completely up for grabs.
Also, I don't know why some folks thinks bloaters are "stretching" things so much, when they are explained in a way that makes a lot of sense. After becoming clickers, most of them will eventually die without eating / spreading, but the ones who survive this huge change continue to grow into the massive heaps. Makes enough sense if you think about how fungi spread, and why they aren't as common as the other kinds of infected.
Days Gone is the last game to have done infected animals, and I think with the way they handled it was just "stronger" and "scarier sounding" which is fine but...
The infected in TLOU become runners, stalkers, and end up completely blind - resorting to echolocation - right? I imagine they things animals could turn into would be supremely scary. Especially if there are bloater versions of said animals.
A static mesh debris and applying a lit material to a object is worthless and cost literally nothing but a few draw calls.
But transparencies like volumetrics are huge. We all know literally turning volumetrics from high to medium in a game will net you 10 fps.
That's how huge it is. Removing volumetrics from an area or even reducing it a bit gives HUGE fps gains. Adding a static mesh or changing the color of a material does absolutely nothing.
This is when understanding how game engines work comes into play.
Absolutely not. It was fun for about 10 minutes then got old real quick. I'd be fine if it's a short chase sequence where you have to run away or hide, but a constant stalking Mr. X Zombie... please no! 😂
Not at all small. What you consider small actually gives HUGE gains in performance. Which is why its done.
Heavily contemplating to not watch anything.
Or at least try to not watch anything.
I must be strong

That's called the Hand of Fatima, or "khamsa" in Arabic (meaning "five"). It's supposed to protect against evil eye.
Seeing this shit in the theater got my ass clenched Lmao.
Like the sounds of it screaming the dying screams of the other girl. My God I could not sleep that night haha.
This is all rather basic knowledge. You don't really know the cost of volumetrics in Uncharted.
Uncharted 4 includes volumetric lighting, fog, etc.
Nope. Like i said small changes. Nothing that screams any kind of downgrade or anything. That game looked fantastic.
If we assume TLOU Part 2 to be released in May, wouldn't it be a bit early to announce the date at SOP? Just curious. Believe and hope for early February release window.
Probably best to ignore that user. Pretty sure they used to troll PS threads like mad (especially related to graphics) and got banned for how aggressive they were towards others...
In the 1st TLOU not many ppl reached the end of the game alive. So im expecting the same here. Even Joel im expecting to die or be already dead.
Ooooh, I didn't think about this. Hope this is incorporated in the storytelling as well. TLOU 2 needs to be an experience.
