CG reveal trailers. They're a lot like porn. Initially exciting, and certainly enough to get the blood pumping, but ultimately shallow and unfulfilling once the moment has passed. Because however stylised and thrilling they might be, you j🔥ust know that they're not real.
But now that we've all suffered the cold-existential comedown from the reveal trailer for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Naughty Dog's The Last of Us, we have the video game equivalent of a real, actual, stable girlfriend in the shape of these first in-game screens. She's very real and lovely, and only wearing slightly too much make-up.
That make-up comeꦅs by way of some extra anti-aliasing, as in a NeoGAF thread, but they're other⛦wise thoroughly plausible given what ND has achieved with Uncharted 2 and 3. Thus I have no problem allowing myself to get excited by them. The screens obviously come from . The big letters spelling out 'Game Informer' should tell you that.
Game details? ꦡThere are a few more to go along with these. Apparently you'll control Joel, with Ellie remaining an AI companion throughout. So far though, she's reported to be pretty capable and not requiring of any babysitting, so that's good. As for gameplay, we know that combat will be a mix of ൲melee and gunplay, with melee weapons wearing out and breaking, and thus needing replacing.
Clearly, Naughty Dog is playing its cards very close to its chest at the moment. At the min things sound (and lookไ) a lot like a cross between Uncharted and Ninja Theory's Enslaved. Which would be good, but I suspect t🌳here's more going on here.
Another thing I also suspect that either Joel is Uncharted's Nathan Drake aged 15 - 20 years, or that Naughty Dog isn't putting the imagination into its character designs that it should. Because a simple beard is not enough to distract one as eagle-eyed as I that he is basically Drake's character model with a bit of grime and a few wrinkles painted on. Want proof? Check this proof, which I have created using cutting edge𝕴 CGI techniques:
Above: Joel from The Last of Us
Above: Old Nathan Drake
Above: Joel from The Last of Us (this is from GI's cover art rather than an in-game screen)
Above: Old Nathan Drake (this is also from GI's cover art rather than an in-game screen)

Also, as Cundy has just pointed out to me, Ellie looks a lot like a young Chloe in that second set of images. Now we need a middle-aged Sully and a granny Elena to turn up and we have the whole set. Good lord, Naughty Dog. The Last of Us looks potentially amazing, but seriously. Some new people ideas. Have them.
