Extended Last of Us PAX demo will keep you on your toes

Maybe it was to answer the tiny bits of critisism from the E3 demo regarding the amount of scripted stuff, or maybe it was just to show how awesome it looks. Whatever reason, here’s more lovely The Last of Us footage.

The video is a very extended version of what you’ve previously seen, building up to the tense action sequence in and out of the hotel rooms. The most important thing is what happens when you change how you approach the scene and how it pans out as a result of this. That in itself should turn around some of the critics. I have to admit though, that I do find myself with a bit of doubt as to how it can look so fluent and alive no matter what you do in the game. But this is Naughty Dog after all, right? The level of detail is astounding. From the way the sign moves and dust falls off when Ellie is boosted up the ledge, to the small grunts and groans as you sneak around, hold someone hostage or hit them over the head with a pipe. It’s becoming pretty damn clear that this game will make an impact, and we can’t wait to try it out next year. In the meantime, please take 15 minutes of your day and let yourself be amazed.
