ND's 'magic' only really comes into fruition with visuals and story telling though... gameplay seems to be taking an increasing backseat. I hope this has a decent balance between the effort put into polishing the gameplay as much as polishing the visuals.
I'm currently playing through uncharted 3.. and for a 3rd game in the series its strange to see tutorials and such hand holding continue till you're half way through the game when it finally trusts you to not be a complete idiot and know how to throw a hand granade.
A series of fixed camera angles, button mashing automatic platform sections, and hand to hand fighting that's a short step away from your basic QTE.. ND certainly arent leading the way on the gameplay front. But least we're garenteed some of the best acting and directed set pieces gaming has to offer with this Last of us.
I like the whole survival aspect and it will be interesting to see how they implement it into gameplay. I thought I am alive was a bit too much trial and error, there was not much freedom in how a fight would play out.
I doubt we'll get a lot of freedom in this. Probably linear cinematic game like Uncharted, with (hopefully) much less action.
Is there anything confirmed?
they've said supplies and ammo is limited through the game, but with high action scenes where they're not. generally it seems to be a case of taking a guy out with a melee weapon instead of wasting bullets. i'm curious how it'll pan out. ND are awesome at what they do. i have no doubt it'll be an amazing game, everything they've made this gen has been, why would they faulter now?

If it's as good as Uncharted 2 i'l be over the moon!
Graphics are immense regardless of whether or not its pre rendered. I'm looking forward to this as it looks very intriguing, kinda reminds me of 'I am Legend'.
I just hope there's no jumping and climbing which did nothing but frustrate me in Uncharted 2.
Looks amazing but...really, this pretty much has to be pre-rendered or doctored in some way.
But i kind ahve the same worries that some other people in this thred has; the gameplay better be up to snuff this time. The uncharted trilogy looks great but is really quite boring in terms of gameplay :P

very few with religious beliefs are naive or zealots, but for sure don't find amusing their beliefs being thrown in for clout. maybe STFU with that discourse? (2 Weeks ago)

Pretty sure Loakum was making fun of religious naive people who thought that God and Trump have a good connection. And the most recent "Bruh..." means "Bruh, don't you get my sarcasm?" (3 Weeks ago)
