When guy was behind a wall holding his gun,and when he made that face(he gonna shit his pants)i know that this game will be scary as hell!!!
I searching good scary game for quite some time(like movie i am legend and 24 hours later)and i think i found it.
Naughty dog as a developer of scary zombie game???
Nerdgasam all day long

yesmynameissumo4565d ago

You too? :) Like Prcko said, when Joel cocks the gun and makes that "Oh shit! That was too loud!" face...day one.

crxss4565d ago

'cause it's a ND horror genre co-op shooter. duhh

beavis4play4565d ago (Edited 4565d ago )

if you thought "i am legend" was scary, check out "stakeland"......it is a better movie and has more scares.

MGS_fanatico_4565d ago

Naughty Dog has proven themselves to be one of the best, if not THE best developer this generation! They are amazingly dedicated to their craft ~ and to think they could pull THIS off while simultaneously working on Uncharted 3 (which, as you already know, is f*cking amazing) is just... worthy of applause!

limewax4565d ago

As good as the trailer looks, Am I the only one who was hoping for it to be based around ants somehow instead of just zombies again. I mean the inspiration left so many possibilities and we get zombies again?

C_Menz4565d ago

Did you watch the trailer? They are not zombies if you look at the fungus growing out of their head. Pretty much everyone knew that the game would not be based on ants, and instead focus around the fungus that takes over an ant in the teasers.

I just hope that ND steers away from the "zombie" like enemies more than what was shown in the trailer. I don't like zombie games since I have played enough of them and it is the same old same old. Would be nice for them to focus on other aspects of the game instead of the majority of the time having you shoot fungus people trying to eat you.

iamnsuperman4565d ago

I am not a huge fan of zombie style games and I think they are being over done but despite this I am interesting. It may be the mature nature that really isn't explored in games.

limewax4565d ago

I agree they don't appear to be directly zombies, but the mutation appears very similar for the moment, I agree though that they should steer away from these enemy types progressively. I personally hope the infection itself takes centre stage in the story. There are a lot of possibilities they could run with

kneon4565d ago

While not technically zombies the fungus infested humans will be somewhat zombie like, just faster and easier to kill. But as the concept for this game is at least as old as 2006 I can't really fault them, how were they to know back then that zombies in games would be so common by now?

Even if it had been zombies in the traditional sense I have no doubt that the game will be unlike any other due to Naughty Dogs story telling prowess.

Thatguy-3104565d ago

What could they possibly do with ants -___- how would that even fit the survival/horror genre? I for one am psyched about it!! There hasn't been a descent zombie game this Gen so hopefully this breaks that mold. What I'm interested to know is how and what cause the apocalypse. I am Legend was a great movie and this seems like it's taking a similar approach. Maybe humans tried creating a vaccine using some type of fungus just like in I am legend where they thought they had found a cure for cancer. The one thing that will differentiate this game from the rest is that you'll be struggling to survive by fighting of these infected humans and the regular ones just like you would in reality if something like this were to happened.

Cant wait for this game i hope the trailer get put up on the PS Store soon so I can DL the trailer watch it till a new one comes out going to be epic

SonyStyled4565d ago (Edited 4565d ago )

i hope you have a nergasm for ps move because im almost positive its a move title. remember that survival horror move title mentioned in development a while back from sony? it was called as 'until dawn' at the time. it could be 2 completely different games but the fact that 'until dawn' was a SCEA game and The last of us is a SCEA game it all seems to fit into place

http://sillegamer.com/2011/...

this ones even more interesting

http://www.gamegrep.com/rum...

gatormatt804565d ago

That second link was pertaining to Dead Nation. They made a live action trailer for it and the date of that article fits. Now the first link... Thats possible but I dont think they would make it only for the Move controller.

SonyStyled4564d ago

@ above, both the articles are about the same title. and i believe dead nation was already reviled march of 2010

Trenta274565d ago

It's 28 Days Later, by the way. Not 24 hours.

Thatguy-3104565d ago (Edited 4565d ago )

Wonder whether it will be FPS or TPS? I would prefer FPS just because as seen in the trailer these monsters run! If it's TP wouldn't the gameplay be similar to the RE and DS games where you can't run and shoot at the same time? I find that really annoying but I'll admit that it does set the survival/horror mood. I also wonder if it will have co-op and online?Release date? There are so many questions!!! IM so hyped !!! About time that there is an exclusive survival/horror game for the ps3!!! Btw since naughty dog is developing it's already a for sure thing that it will be story driven and that the acting will be top notch !!! I bet one of them will die by the end of the game hence while it will be an emotional ride !!!
Ohh and does that man resemble the guy that comes out on the move snippet for that one horror move game that hasn't been announced?

xflo3604565d ago

I've seen a few comments saying that this is basically I am legend the videogame ( in a negative way! ) honestly that sounds like the best game ever to me!!

Calvin_ISA4565d ago (Edited 4565d ago )

You mean 28 Days Later, right? O.o
*edit* Didn't see the comment before mine. Haha.

Gawdl3y4565d ago

You're looking for a scary video game? Get Amnesia: Dark Descent on the PC. It will make you shit your pants, I shit you not. It is easily the scariest game I've ever played. I couldn't play for more than 20 minutes at a time because I'm such a wuss.

sinncross4565d ago

I am liking the whole survival horror feel the trailer exudes, and I hope the final game plays out like a true survival horror* its something that has been lacking in the gaming industry for a while.

of course another reason to be excited is that this did not end up being the new IP of either Santa Monica, Guerrilla or Quantic Dream, which means 3 other exclusives we are not certain of yet.

DigitalAnalog4565d ago

That's what made this trailer even MORE exciting.

tarbis4565d ago

I really want to see what the other Sony first party developers have in store for us. ND is on a freaking roll here.

majiebeast4565d ago (Edited 4565d ago )

I knew it was a must buy when the naughty dog logo appeared. They havent made a bad game yet since crash bandicoot 1. which is their lowest rated game at 7.5 and it was amazing before the whole 8/9/10 scale.

It also looks like it will not be a modown zombie/infected game. Cause you see Ellie scavagening bullets and Joel only fired 1 shot at the end while there are probably like 5 infected following them.

D3mons0ul4565d ago (Edited 4565d ago )

But that's not the kind of change I wanted. (well, it's one of them actually) I wanted the behavior and overall threat of the infected to be something other than "attack, kill, eat"

I expect a bit of intelligence and maybe even fear from infected drones that are on the verge of exploding and releasing spores in crowded spaces.

Shanks4565d ago

meanwhile at microsoft... another kinect game.

WTF mods - you ban me for 7 says but you let this of topic comment stand.

Actually Microsoft just announced a new Alan Wake game, should we just overlook that then?

Bay4565d ago

Moment I saw the Naughty Dog tag on the trailer, I knew I was in for something good.

The trailer definitely didn't disappoint. I'm getting a mostly I Am Legend vibe, with with more than just one person.

Neil Druckmann: Philosopher gamer behind 'The Last of Us'

who is now the sole leader of Naughty Dog, “I promise you, we will not be ‘The Last of Us’ studio forever.” Numerous games, he said, are in the works, including “multiple single-player projects.

Lightning777d ago

I know he has a celebrity like status but unless he's announcing his game soon idc what he has to say from this point on.

We need announcement something from him.

Crows905d ago

The dude is a nobody. He's also wrong. Naughty dog is the uncharted and Jak daxter studio.

They only made one universally praised last of us game. They're not know as "the last of us studio" but they are currently known as the "remake" studio.

Lightning775d ago

I like his games tbh I'm just more upset at the fact that he's been talking and talking and not showing anything. I'm an actual fan of his work, don't cars if that's that's a popular take or not.

If he has nothing to show or talk about. I don't care about his interviews, his red carpet appearances or what's next for last Of Us 2 TV, leave that to Hollywood. You don't see SP, Bend, or any other studio doing what he's doing. They're remaining quiet and focused as most PS studios do. He should do the same. The next thing I wanna hear him say is "now heres our game" we know that probably won't be for another year or so, so he needs to remain silent and stay out of the limelight for awhile.

AsunaYuukiTheFlash5d ago

You are wrong. LOU2 won a lot of GOTY and was highly rated. It's okay to dislike the game but saying that ND just made one critical acclaimed LOU game is just hating at this point.

rippermcrip6d ago

Kind of a weird interview. No substance, hardly any questions. It's almost like they forgot to post the whole thing or something.

neomahi6d ago

Oh brother...... It's like a balloon filling with helium. He's got nothing new to say. Naughty Dog went from being a studio of numerous developers to being about him and what HE does. Bruce Straley was the co-creator of The Last of Us, and he left--I think for the same reason Christophe Balestra left and since then, Naughty Dog haven't been the same. PlayStation is incredibly woke, as all businesses seem to be these days, ignorant to what's really going on sacrificing the greater for peanuts, but I think they left because of the uprising political atmosphere. They knew there was nothing they could do about it and an attempt to try and combat it, in today's society would end them up in legal trouble so, they just left, what else can you do when the opposition behaves like a child, screams and yells louder than you want to in raged fits, and will throw lawsuits at you at whatever chance they can, but you don't play that way, so they left. And Naughty Dog hasn't been the same since.

Naughty Dog was huge at one time! They were the underdog that became the top dog but, the direction it's fine, just watch and wait. It's ego, and Druckmanns ego of thinking they're untouchable and can just coast along, will drop them rock bottom, in due time, they could see the same fate as Xbox's teams met. Fans will turn on Naughty Dog because A) Naughty Dog aren't producing, they're not what they once were.
B) Gamers ARE growing tired of the woke culture overtaking their lifetime hobby. They're just more silent about it, it's the quiet cool

anast6d ago

Non of this makes sense. I would like to think you didn't spend too much time writing it.

Crows905d ago

I hope you didn't spend much time reading..it...cuz obviously you didnt understand it. But that's okay. There's many other comments to read...

MIDGETonSTILTS176d ago

You project your own views on the world, and that is a mistake.

Crows905d ago

Um...so you project someone else view on the world? What are you talking about?! We all project our view on the world lol...smh

anast5d ago

It's called perspective. I understand that. But I don't understand the poster.

smashman986d ago

you know it's not his fault that people are interested in what he says, right?

Also, Naughty Dog is bigger than ever.

Crows905d ago

Smaller....where's their last big game? Yeah...I remember when they were actually releasing heavy hitters.

smashman984d ago

@Crows90 It was in 2020 and despite what a vocal minority says it was critically acclaimed and the 2020 game of the year. Not only that but The Last of Us is also a critically acclaimed television series and PlayStation's most successful foray into Film and TV yet.

So yes, Naughty Dog is bigger than ever, and just because you don't vibe with them or whatever does not change that fact.

anast6d ago

He's a solid theatre arts person, but he's not a philosopher. Being good at one thing doesn't mean he's Descartes.

DarXyde6d ago

I believe that philosophers are more principled than Druckmann, to be honest. It's fascinating that The Last of Us Part II was literally inspired by the Israel-Palestine conflict and was a needed commentary on humanity and ending the cycle of violence, only to have some questionable commentary after 7 October.

I don't hate the guy as some others seem to. He's been a big part of some great games, but I'll never understand the obsession with hanging on all of his statements.

Chard6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

That's a good point in relation to 7 Oct - a far more important issue where valid criticisms could have been made of this guy, but most here seem thoroughly distracted by trivial issues

anast5d ago

@DarXyde

Like all artists he has a signature. People that have an agenda will try to look for that signature and use it. This is why a lot of "journalist/game influencers" hang on every word. Most of us just enjoy his work and get hyped when he mentions something about a possible new game.

@Chard
"a far more important issue where valid criticisms could have been made of this guy"

Which is?

MIDGETonSTILTS176d ago

Sony should try and stay radio silence outside of hard reveals.

It’s painful to wait for any info at all, but it’s less painful than skimming an interview that avoids all details whatsoever.

Commit to radio silence, Sony. You can afford to leverage the trust in gaming output that you’ve cultivated.

anast5d ago

That wouldn't be a smart decision. There must be a constant stream of connection in today's world.

MIDGETonSTILTS173d ago

When a constant stream of connection delays a game 1-2 years, and said games take 5 years to make anyways…. Sony fans are better off trusting Sony to deliver than expecting frequent confirmation.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast129d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs126d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast126d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs125d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast125d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer129d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing69129d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs126d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing69126d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.
