I'm confused, very. The thing is this game seem overly scripted, cinematic. But I'm confused on that part, everything seem scripted, wasting all the bullets so the girl can throw a rock, pressing the trigger and the guy noticing your out, going threw the back room for somebody to slam you in the head, all these little things make me wonder is this was some sort of tech demo, but if not and you can actually kill the guy in the living room and flank the guy with the stick, if running out of ammo is optional in that specific scenario, if you can do all these things, then this is most definitely a game to look forward to. If not, well I'm sure it'll be some nice weekend entertainment........ but giving it more thought, I'm sure you can do that stuff, so that's pretty awesome.
Finally this gets! Anyways, holy shit!! This game looks so awesome! Everything about the gameplay and the interaction was flawless!... Well, maybe except the part where Joel blows the fuck out of the begging man's head (first Ryu, now Joel?).
Out of all the games so far, this and Watch Dog are on the TOP of my list. Watch Dog was EXCEPTIONALLY well done, and so was this demo, but because of my fanboyism, I'm gonna go ahead with TLOU as my #1 game, and WD as #2.
Anyways, looking forward to Nintendo's Briefing tomorrow. It's a tie between Ubisoft's and Sony's right now IMO on who had the best conference.

It looks good.
I'm going to be the outlier here and give a big middle finger to the hype, though, and say that way too much of it looked hands off scripted.
Not to mention I just watched the Star Wars 1313 gameplay, and the whole cover based third person action/shooter thing is wearing on me.
This game looks really good, but I'm afraid that I'll overlook it unless it's a masterpiece just based on the fact that, in raw gameplay terms, I'm fucking so burned out on the whole cover third person action/shooter that I find myself unable to have fun unless there's something mind blowing in there,

This was the only good thing to come out of the Sony conference. That was a really awful conference. I'm definitely excited for this, if done correctly this could be really great.

I mean shit. Did you see the protagonist's arm blowing away when they shot him? And the whole "out of ammo!" Naughty Dog is probably aiming to make a game that feels realistic while still providing freedom of play to gamers. What would happen if you didn't run out of ammo, or if you didn't enter the room with the shotgun baddies at the end? Inventory looks sick, hope they take a few pages from Resident Evil 4's book.
Speaking of books, they should've gotten rid of the Wonderbook and announced Killzone 4 instead. Hope KZ 4 is coming.

Yeah I've been in that boat for a while as well, so hopefully this game has a more open world type thing going on to fight against that fad.

Also this is nothing like Uncharted. Seriously. I don't think you're gonna smile when playing this. Uncharted is over the top. Crazy. Funny even. This is heavy, real and gritty. Those guns feel heavy, the fighting feels real, the setting is gritty. Drake is Indiana Jones. This is The Road. Or yeah, I am Legend but seriously, Will Smith.
Okay, last thing then. Even if it would be like Uncharted. What's with the "But it looks like Uncharted"? But? As if that's a bad thing. This game looks like it's going to be amazing and it deserves a change to set itself apart from Uncharted.

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling the same about the whole third person shooter deal. Probably why I'm a little on edge with that Watch Dogs title too.

Meh. Not only was it a bit too scripted, but it was also missing a lot of things you'll actually see when playing the game. A lot of the stuff that happened there was contextual (taking the guy hostage, wrestling the gun away for instance) yet there was no pop up on screen to tell you which button to push to do that action. I could be wrong and those identifiers could not be in the game, but that could get confusing.
@Wrath and Pride
A tech demo? But the game was being played in real time, on a PS3 console, with a DS3... Aren't tech demos just videos you watch and or interact with a few tiny details like controlling the view and etc? You saying you're confused is like saying you can't comprehend how good this game looks and plays... And it's a brick that Ellie throws, not a bottle.
@Ilort het
I can't be the only one who is tired of your bitching.
Did you see any events where it might not be under your control? I'm not saying that there won't be Uncharted-like moments (like floors, buildings, etc breaking on you just at the perfect moment), but the guy demoing probably just did the same actions he did while rehearsing for the onstage demo as to not mess up. I bet that you could have shot those guys from first time you saw them, and have different outcomes to how the enemies would respond.
To me, overly-scripted games are games where you don't have options on your gameplay.

While incredibly impressed with how beautiful and smooth that looked, I have to agree with everyone who says it looked scripted out the asshole. I think I'm just going to hold off judgement until we get some hands on with it.
It seems interesting and intense, but I'm so tired of third person shooters, mandatory stealth sections and chest-high walls... not to mention it looks scripted as hell. I'll wait for more info before I get excited.
Fantastic bit on the reveal with the guy executing a guy begging for his life which caused the crowd to uproariously cheer
Hooray murder

Looks pretty good. But the over use of the word fuck is distracting. Like in Killzone 2 or many other shooters. You can make it serious without using that work in almost every line. And this is comming from a person who swears alot!
From the looks of things, this looks like its much less scripted than Uncharted. Joel could've stayed undetected if he didn't pick up the ammo. He didn't HAVE to go into the rooms with the bad guys (bypassing the ambushes). Also, he could've found other ways of taking out those guys without using a molotov. This seems to offer a much wider variety of decisions on how to approach things.
@Oishidesu
Yeah I kind of went onto to retract that whole tech demo thing in the same comment, I also have a problem with using appropriate words sometimes (no justification), in retrospect tech demo wasn't right, should've just stuck to scripted.

Actually a touch disappointed with what I saw. I was hoping having a 14 year old girl in tow would create a greater need for discretion which was totally blown by a senseless killing spree against non-infected humans.
The vibe it originally gave was that of The Walking Dead and I Am Legand, which I was actually digging. It would have been cooler to see them work out a situation with the looters to take on the infected rather than kill the first humans you see.
Missed opportunity, I think.

I don't know. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that it is only giving you the illusion of "freedom" just based on the dialogue. For example the first enemy that runs away unhindered despite being shot and says "he's over here" and the protagonist responds with "get ready" seems like no matter what, that exact scenario is going to play out. Then the way that the characters dialogue reacted to the very scenario that was going on. The way that the protagonist slammed that guys head against the table, it all seems to indicate either it's scripted as fuck, or that they put tons of effort into creating dialogue and distinctive AI for pretty much every scenario you go into.

LOL! That looks incredible. I am so pleased with Naughty Dog. They are consistently outdoing themselves! This can't release soon enough!
@Wrath and Pride & Ilort het
Haha I thought you guys were gonna rip me apart. Well, thanks on not doing that! :D
But yeah, I think we need to see more before we can truly say "scripted" or not. For all we know, some moments might be scripted, and some not.

I should also add, that while yes, you can probably just go rambo mode and start shooting enemies like crazy as soon as you see them, but the fact that you are limited to 4 bullets pretty much forces you to sneak around and only fighting enemies when you have the "right opening" (AKA when there is an overturned desk conveniently placed to take cover behind, or when the game forces you into combat by having an unavoidable enemy ambush you around a corner) that's just another way for the developers to artificially nudge you along the path that they want you to take.
@The Silent Protagonist
The whole thing reminds me of I Am Alive. You're one of the last people living after the huge disaster and you spend the time killing everyone off. Maybe it's established in other parts of the game, but nothing there said these guys were enemies. You sort of just attacked them. I don't know, I guess the whole killing a man begging for his life getting cheers kind of bothers me. Which is funny, because killing a man begging for his life in Ninja Gaiden 3 seemed to bother several game journalists. I guess that kind of action is okay when we're building up the hype machine.

@ protagonist
I hear what you're saying, and I hope that your suggested scenerio presents itself throughout the game. I would like a game that has multiple avenues of resolution, and I hope that this game has all that. But I can only assume that the presenters had a finite time in which to show their product and chose the more intense situations in order to maximize their impact. As for intensity... Hell ya.. that last shot was amazing.

@ crackedbat
I understand your discomfort, but somebody's pleas lose their impact when they were moments before trying to do the same to you, with the help of their buddies, against one guy and a young girl. I'm suprised he wasted the bullet, but it was cinematic. Again, like you said, we weren't given the set-up.

I don't think it's that it's incredibly scripted, but that the game does a good job at adapting to your choices. Though I do think they had already planned on using up all the bullets and stuff like that before they played it.
@scissors
If it wasn't scripted and they had the dialogue and AI adapt to your gameplay... damn that would be amazing. Instant replay value just to play it again to see characters say different things.

Screw open world and Screw multi-player. Screw co-op shooting galleries. Screw horde modes. Screw Side mission this. Screw rank up. Screw throwing birds at pigs. There's games for every type of mechanic.
Done right, guided storytelling experiences like this should have their place too.

After years of lurking Destructoid I FINALLY decided to create a username :) and with that...did anyone else notice the hands?! This game looks gorgeous but I have a feeling that the repetitive hand opening and closing just might drive me mad.
