The guys behind the Uncharted series have finally released some details of their upcoming Playstation 3 exclusive. In case you didn’t know, The Last of Us is Naughty Dog’s next big game and we were only teased with a short trailer back at the VGA’s. A couple of days ago, GameInformer posted some new and exclusive screenshots of the game and that was quite a treat in itself, but still few details. With the latest details you will find out who it is that you will be controlling when you get the game and if you cam remember in the teaser there are two characters a girl (Ellie) and middle aged gentlemen (Joel) and it seems like a promising story.
Below are all the latest details.
- A part of the game will take place in Pittsburg
- Weapons will degrade after extensive use and eventually break, forcing players to scavenge for fresh supplies.
- Players will not be able to control Ellie but Naughty Dog has put a lot of focus on her AI. Game Informer says that Ellie carried her weight in the demo they played.
- Online has been confirmed. No co-op play however.
- Combat was inspired by Anton Chigurh’s intense gun battle with Llewelyn Moss, (No Country for Old Men) using ambient noises, exhausted breathing and gunshots to compliment lack of music.
- Naughty Dog calls AI system “Balance of Power”; they adapt and react dynamically to whoever has the upper hand in a fight situation.
- The infected creatures, as seen on the teaser trailer, come up later in the game. First encounters are with humans and different factions of survival.
