Official Announcement Trailer
Here we go.
Under a month for the release.
Game has been delayed a month to June 14.
I can live with that my backlog is big right now anyway.
The game drops 7th May and the new trailer looked so fucking awesome!
May 7th? I think GTA V is going to be released around that date. no matter got them both preordered.
Yeah I hope GTA V drops nearer the end of the month.
It did look good.
Comic-Con panel.
I don't know how anybody couldn't be interested in this game.
I'm so excited for this game. I think out of all the developers, Naughty Dog, at this point, are the least likely to mess it up.
Thinking back to what Brook was saying on the E3 Podcast, it's obvious they have been experimenting with different gameplay elements in Uncharted in order to get it right for this game. Obviously it's going to get comparisons with the Uncharted series, because it's 3rd person, and the cover system, plus the fact it looks gorgeous, but I think enough of it will be different that it will stand on it's own two feet.
I also think the premise of the game is a lot more realistic this time around. We don't know everything yet, but it's not just your run of the mill post-apocalyptic game. I think the fact that it's some type of plague that has wiped out the majority of the population is a very real scenario as history tells us.
The only place where I think things may fall apart is in how Naughty Dog handle the whole 'Survival Element'. Obviously they don't want Joel and Ellie to be invincible, which is why I'm guessing ammo and weapons will be scarce, and the majority of the combat will be up, close and personal melee. Then again, they don't want it to become too frustrating where it messes up the whole pacing of the game, if the player is getting stuck on a particular part. You will see in the video that there is no regenerative health, and Joel will in fact carry health packs, so it will add to that sense of realism of having to survive. Again though, I think Naughty Dog need to be careful to balance the amount of health packs there is to find, as well and perfect checkpoints, so you don't end up in a particular tricky part of the game, where you find yourself with no health, especially on the harder difficulty settings (Platinum Whore :lol:)
The game is set for a 2013 release, so we have a long while yet before we can give a verdict, but from what we saw at E3, the game is definitely coming along nicely, and as of this point, I don't think there is any other game coming out in 2013 that I'm more excited for, except maybe Bioshock Infinite.
After watching that trailer Im looking forward to it :) This is def gonna be a day 1 buy :)
I hope they show some actual gameplay at E3. I'm excited as hell.
looks dope so far, lets hope it drops in 2012
So Brook. This was the game I tried talking to you about on the Podcast last week and you wasn't interested. Well. It's finally got a developer. It's Naughty Dog's new game. Rumours were floating about in the week because of an easter egg found in Uncharted 3.
Not much is known just yet with no release date revealed, but with ND developing it, I think it's safe to say the story will be on point. The trailer looks great. It's all in-game footage too.
I hope it's more survival horror than straight up action though.
