New gameplay footage from Naughty Dog‘s forthcoming post-apocalyptic PS3 adventure, The Last Of Us. This demo was shown to only a select list of media members behind closed doors back duringE3, this latest build showcases the games narrative exploration, sophisticated AI and dynamic stealth elements. We are surely looking at what looks like another exclusive GOTY contender for next year.
Sony has released an E3 gameplay video for Naughty Dog‘s stunner, The Last of Us. It’s a gorgeous game featuring a post-apocalypse setting done with colors and authenticity. It also involves extreme violence. In the demo, main character Joel sneaks around before basically killing everyone who gets in his way.
Joel and Ellie are attempting to get to the bridge and out of the city. They are tourists in an area that’s controlled by hunters. They are hunted and yet they too are hunters. Everyone is willing to do whatever it takes to survive. What you’ll see here is something that we’re calling Balance of Power AI. Enemies will react realistically to whatever situation your combat style forces them into. Playing as Joel, Ellie’s help and whatever weapons you can scavenge are your best shot at progressing in this brutal, violent world.
Official Synopsis:
The Last of Us is genre-defining experience blending survival and action elements to tell a character driven story about a population decimated by a modern plague. Cities are abandoned and being reclaimed by nature. Remaining survivors are killing each other for food, weapons and whatever they can find. Joel, a ruthless survivor, and Ellie, a young teenage girl who’s braver and wiser beyond her years, must work together to survive their journey across what remains of the United States.
NBC has released an extended four-minute trailer for their upcoming series called Revolution. The show is being produced by J.J. Abrams, written by Eric Kripke and the pilot directed by Iron Man‘s director Jon Favreau.
Revolution takes place in a world where all forms of energy ceased to exist, and in a post-apocalyptic future. Fifteen years ago, an unknown phenomenon permanently disabled all advanced technology on the planet, ranging from computers and electronics to car engines and batteries. People were forced to adapt to a world without technology, and due to the collapse of public order, many areas are ruled by warlords and militias. Watch the trailer below and tell us what you think:
Official synopsis:
Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the sky, hospitals shut down, and communication is impossible. And without any modern technology, who can tell us why? Now, 15 years later, life is back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution: families living in quiet cul-de-sacs, and when the sun goes down lanterns and candles are lit. Life is slower and sweeter. Or is it? On the fringes of small farming communities, danger lurks. And a young woman’s life is dramatically changed when a local militia arrives and kills her father, who mysteriously – and unbeknownst to her – had something to do with the blackout. This brutal encounter sets her and two unlikely companions off on a daring coming-of-age journey to find answers about the past in the hopes of reclaiming the future.
Revolution will air this fall Monday nights at 10pm on NBC.
