Holy S***, three amazing movies equal Naughty Dog's best game? Cloverfield meets I Am Legend meets True Grit?
I'm counting down the days until Last Of Us comes out. This game is the most realistic looking game I've ever seen. This game also looks like the scariest game as well. With facial depictions so crisp and detailed, they are penetrating the barrier of real life and video game that L.A. Noire scratched at.
This game I think pokes fun at other games like Walking Dead Survival Instinct and Resident Evil 5 & 6, on how to make a good horror survival shooter.
This game is definitely going to contend with game of the year, not even Uncharted looked this crisp and detailed. The woods part in the trailer looked so realistic as if I was watching a actually movie trailer.
Just the first inteaction between the two children seemd so realistic. I'm truly loving where games are headed. For it's advancements in the future it has to be more realistic because that's what the people want.
For one I both surprised and happy that this is going to be on PS3 only. Seeing as PS3 has barley scratched the surface of 1080p why bother putting this on a new console? Give the PS3 one more bang before you dump it for the newer console. This is also a good back idea if the PS4 fails.
Like the trailer we'll keep the previewing short and sweet so you can go watch this OVER and OVER again. June 14th can't come soon enough!

Naughty
Dog started off its career by making Sony exclusives their most famous being
Crash Bandicoot and Jax and Daxter.
When Sony had sold Crash to Activision
nobody could have guessed what masterpiece Naughty Dog was going to create
next, but when they released Uncharted Drake’s Fortune in 2007 they truly out
did themselves.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune: The first game while rough around the edges brought something
new to the table that had never been implemented before. This game changed the
way stories were to be conveyed in the video gaming industry with gameplay and
cut scenes seamlessly blending together to keep the action going and keeping
the player involved into the main character. It also made one most iconic Sony
characters Nathan Drake who is a mix between Indiana Jones and Laura Croft
which sounds just fine to me creating a character that has dimensions and with
the vocal talents of Nolan North really feels alive.
The gameplay is also
exciting with active plat forming while in fire fights and a simple melee
system makes combat fun and engaging. However, though the most gripping and
important part of the Uncharted games is really the stories they tell, the
characters we go to love, and the great set pieces that we get to climb on.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves:
However, while the first game was just an introduction into
the series when Naughty Dog came out with Uncharted 2 Among Thieves they really
built on all the great things in the first game and improved everything from
the storytelling to the amazing graphics.
While the first game was mostly about
setting the stage for the characters the second game’s main focus is on the
story and character development and it has one of the most amazing beginnings I
have ever seen in a game. What makes the beginning of the game so epic is the
fact that you really care about the character Nathan Drake and when you see him
in such a predicament that is, being shot or in a train that is hanging off a
mountain, creates tension that I rarely feel in games. Also trying to make an
injured Drake climb his way out of falling train or even hearing every sigh and seeing
every grimace really makes the situation and the characters feel more real and
alive than they did in the first game.
That also brings me to my next point
while it was hard to tell in the first game the amount of attention to detail
that Naughty Dog does is amazing. Everything from Drake’s clothes getting wet
when he swims and drying in real time to when he puts his hand on a wall for
support or covers his face when a grenade goes off nearby. There is also
another amazing feature which is that Drake’s companions either Elena or Chloie are amazingly intelligent,
never die, never repeat themselves, and they can ACTUALLY KILL PEOPLE!
I have never before seen this in a game
where my AI companions are actually useful and improve the experience instead
of hindering it. Also while Drake is characterized well his companions Elena
and Chloie are really the ones who shine they develop beautifully and you can
even see Drake and Elena’s romance blossom instead of it just being there or
happening like how a lot of other video games and movies do it. At the end of
the game (spoiler alert) Elena and Drake end up together after finding and
destroying Shamballa, and it even ends the game on a comical note as well with
Drake explaining how Elena’s all most death was not as scary as clowns.
However while the second game
focuses on the positive relationship that Drake builds the third game really
brings everything down to earth and shows us how Drake is a little obsessed
himself with treasure even enough to lose the things he loves.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception:
**Borrowed From IGN**
The third
installment Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception finds us in Britain for a time with Drake and Sully going to a bar
to sell off an artifact for some extra cash, but as usual for our heroes this endeavor
does not end well and it is stolen by a British woman and her goons.This is just the start though and while
trying to get the artifact back we start to see Drake’s obsession with finding
treasure and the amount of danger and harm he is willing to put those he cares
about in. this game puts Drake in some truly spectacle set pieces though from a
burning mansion, to a sinking cruise ship, falling out of an airplane and last
suffering through the Sahara Desert. The third installment also shows us Drake’s
past and how he and Sully met which was a great delight knowing that this
harden treasure hunter was once a vulnerable kid who had found a father figure
in Sully and it explains why they are so alike. It also goes into detail on how
Elena and Drake’s relationship failed because when we finally do see her there
is a little animosity and regret written all over Drake’s face.
In fact it is
after Drake and Elena part ways do we see our hero grow up a bit and realize
that there is more at stake here than he first thought. I truly enjoy the third
game even more so that the second because it gives us a great deal of info on
to Drake’s past and his personality in general. While the second game had some
dark moments it feels like the third one really developed Drake as well a
flawed human being and not a superhero treasure hunter it made us care for him
and want to see his relationship with Elena restored as well as have him well
settle down and quit the treasure hunting business. We see in the third game
how much the other characters love and truly care for Drake and you as a player
start to feel it to and you start to realize that maybe all of us have a little
treasure hunter inside of us just waiting to get out.
That is why I feel that Naughty
Dog’s Uncharted games are really the best out there because of their excellent
skills in story telling and character development.
Future: Our Honest View and I are very excited for the Last of Us Naughty Dog’s first M rated
game allowing them to tell the superb story they may have always wanted to
tell. Looking like a mixture of I Am Legend and all the Uncharted's combined.
