Sometimes i wonder if some of you people actually played the Last of Us. If you did there is no reason for anyone to be surprised that the game is as gory as it is. If you played Left Behind then you already know about why Ellie is kissing woman. Sheesh.

First off, I would like to congratulate Naughty Dog for developing the technology for the most realistic kiss ever in a video game. For the first time, it didn't look like robots were kissing. The way skin stretches and deforms in this game is on another level. You can see the muscles moving under the skin. Also, I love the diversity of the characters in this game. I love that Naughty Dog is pushing the boundaries in so many different ways, so it's really disappointing for me that the grotesque violence felt exploitative.

When you brutally murdering people, you can see their every wince on their face and even their skin tearing as you dismember them. At times, it felt like a bloodbath especially when you watch somebody's guts fall out on the floor or blood squirt out all over the place when you behead somebody. I actually had to look away because it was too much for me. I have played many violent games, but this game actually made me sick to my stomach. I can't imagine playing a whole game like that. I get that this might be for some people, but I think that this needs to be rated AO by the ESRB.

I dunno about AO, but yeah, it was super hard for me to watch. For the first time watching a video game my brain subconsciously registered real people getting murdered on screen. Which sounds ridiculous, but that's where ND's tech is now. It's probably too messed up for me to play, so I'll catch the cutscenes on YouTube when the game's out.

Is it just me or the animations here is way weaker than Nate and Elena kiss from UC4? don't have the gif.

That scene looked great at the time, but this one is just more subtle, and when the kiss gets more passionate the camera is already at the back of Ellie's head.

That Uncharted 2 kiss looked pretty realistic at the time though.

This animation doesn't make sense. She loosely rotates in her hand to land with the hammer's face, but the claws dig into the enemy's cheek.

You're following the trajectory of the hammer wrong. When you watch it load in slow motion you see it's such a wide arching swing that she essentially ends up switching the hammer face in the process of swinging it.

What's pretty nuts is that her hand always perfectly lines up with any object she picks up (even when she grabs the bottle mid sprint). Though also makes wonder again if it's perhaps scripted as I wonder what for example would have happened if the handle of the machete at 6:59 had pointed in a different direction.

Maybe he mean't "fake" as in scripted? because as good as the demo was, it was heavily scripted

I'm willing to bet the vast majority wasn't scripted at all. The level of polish might make it seem that way, but ND are literally the best in the business when it comes to contextual animations and animation blending.

She probably automatically spins it around for certain finisher moves, and then back around for brawling melee combat.

Mods closed that thread? No fun allowed, cmon. That's like classic E3 shit, when a dev can hardly believe how awesome your demo is.

Bet that is going to be printed out and put on the animation team's desk at ND. I can't imagine how good that would make me feel if I worked on it.

That's pretty cool how you're not always fully hidden in grass, it depends on how tall and thick the grass is etc.
