This and GTA in the same year. This shit looks so fucking good man.

So has it definitely been confirmed that this game won't have you playing a one man murder machine like Uncharted? I don't know if I can do another Naughty Dog "run from point A to point B slaughtering everything in your path" game. I remember hearing a Bombcast where Gerstmann said something along the lines where this game won't be like that, but I'm wondering if that is in reference to a specific part or if the whole game is like that.

I agree Seth....this better be a survival horror game. Low supply of bullets, scavenge for supplies, avoid zombies/creatures at all cost, stealthy type game.

I have no interest in gunning down droves of virtual men like I do in every other fucking video game.

FIRST REVIEW IS OUT (probably by mistake lol)

5/5 Stars: Unmissable - Empire Online

A fungal plague has devastated humanity, reducing the infected to brutal, mis-shapen wrecks. Two decades on from the outbreak, you play Joel, an emotionally haunted survivor as he guides the young Ellie to a safehouse on the other side of wasteland America. On the surface, the set-up could be pitched as ‘Ico meets The Walking Dead’ but the execution makes it so much more than that.

The world you’ll be travelling is fraught with danger – more often from other humans than from the Infected – but is unerringly beautiful. Nature has reclaimed urban spaces, and the results are stunning. Colour and lighting change with the seasons as the story progresses, and characters’ appearances become worn and tired with time. This is easily the best-looking game on PS3.

The gameplay itself could easily have been a disappointment – broadly a mix of stealth and action, with innumerable sections of waist-high cover shooting, it doesn’t immediately offer anything new. Played with a shooter mindset, it doesn’t, in fact. However, it’s in avoiding combat when possible, incapacitating foes and only killing when absolutely, unavoidably necessary that the game stands apart. You’ll pause, consider options, listen, always aware that a mis-timed charge into action will prove fatal. You’re not playing a superhero, or even anyone as tough as Nathan Drake from Naughty Dog’s earlier Uncharted games – you’re playing a human, as fragile and vulnerable as any of us. When you are forced to fight, it’s short, sharp, shocking, and the game treats violence with almost disgust – necessary evils.

At the heart of the game is the almost parental relationship between Joel and his charge, one brought to life through the best vocal performances yet heard in a video game. The production quality of the game is spectacular but the actors are working at another level. The score, the first Brokeback Mountain’s Gustavo Santolalla has composed for games, is also superb, ratcheting up the tension and underscoring the solitude of the world through use of silence as much as bold orchestral moments. There are many cinematic influences at work throughout the game, but it avoids feeling like an interactive movie.

The Last of Us is not just the finest game that Naughty Dog has yet crafted and an easy contender for the best game of this console generation, it may also prove to be gaming’s Citizen Kane moment – a masterpiece that will be looked back upon favourably for decades.

Not exactly a place known for gaming, so take it with a grain of salt.

So the demo is available now for people who own God of War: Ascension. It's tough trying to stay away lol.

I caved. I'm weak.

Really short but enough to hold me over.

Fuck those clickers. :Yao:

[Influence]

I really want to get this game, I'll be coming by after release to see what you guys think of the game.

OPM UK magazine 10/10

"A work of art in which amazing sights and sounds fuel an emotionally draining, constantly compelling end of days adventure. This is Naughty Dog pushing the PS3 to its limit. Over to you PS4"

...

[killgod]

I didn't think I was gonna pull the trigger on this, but damn it looks so good. Multiplayer mode sounds cool too.

[jms493]

I wish it was on PC...it would probably look amazing. This will be the last game I get on my PS3...probably selling it before the PS4 drops if the price is not insane. I think I will pass on GT6.
