The Last of Us Part II | PS4 | June 19th (NO OPEN SPOILERS)

[Fatboi1]

From panel earlier

• New traversal and prone move-sets.
• Combat has increased emphasis on tension, interactivity and realism.
• Enemy AI references each other by name, and constantly communicates with each other.
• Two different timelines explored in TLOU2.
• New dodge/evade mechanic is a core part of combat and melee.
• You now have a jump button.
• Far more creative and emergent moments in combat thanks to big increase in breadth of options.
• Improved stealth mechanics, including crawl, prone, squeezing into tighter gaps, underneath vehicles etc.
• Expanded infected enemies and whole new classes.
• You're not automatically fully hidden in grass. Extent of your visibility depends on height & density of foliage.
• Much more verticality in combat scenarios now. She needs more routes and ways to engage.
• Survival aspects are still a focus.
• Different ammo types (eg explosive arrows) now. Each ammo type fulfills a particular strategy niche.
• Animation system is completely overhauled so everything is even more realistic and transitions are seamless.
• Wide linear combat environments are being expanded to be even larger and broader.
• AI system massively improved for added realism.
• No more auto AI telepathic awareness of you once spotted. They whistle to and actually communicate with each other.
• Referred to as systemic check-ins of AI information. They pass information to each other more realistically to let new groups and enemies know of the unfolding situation or of your position.
• Enemy awareness and ability to seek player out improved.
• You can now craft different ammo and arrow types.
• The Church scene is set 4 years after the events of TLOU in Jackson, the gameplay demo is set 5 years after.
• Seraphite(sp?) is a religious cultish group, but they will not be black and white. Motivations explored.
• They use more advanced facial camera capture and mo-cap now, more advanced than they had with Uncharted 4.
• Lots of new facial animation tech. More nuances of the face, creases, folds, build up of skin etc.
• Eyeball tech also re-worked, now includes internal refractions, reflections and so on.
• Joel is somewhere out there in Jackson....

GOTForever game set and match.

THIS is what sets ND apart from other devs, even those that may attempt to make a game with similar premises.

The girl in red is Ellie's voice actor

My whole post was referring to the girl wearing yellow dress in the photo and the black haired girl who kissed Ellie in the trailer. Wanted to know if that was the voice actor and character

I wonder if his brother Tommy will be with him on some shyt Breh built helped build that community in Jackson so he wouldn't have to deal with the savagery anymore.

If the AI improvements claims are real, this joint might be a game changer in the industry. Considering all aspects of video games, AI has been the segment that has progressed the least because it is so tedious and complicated to program.

If other developers catch on the wave, stealth games will catch a crazy second breath.

ND is unmatched in seamless gameplay/presentation. The way they just mix/match animations with the gameplay is superb. Every bullet/arrow and movement looks incredible. I also noticed the melee looked like God of War in some way. They basically have industry standard contextual animations/gameplay wrapped up in a bow.

Oh shyt I hope this level of interactivity makes it's way into MP

WHAT THE shyt!(yeah I stole that from Archer and now use it in real life) That looks fukking Fantastic. I wasn't even excited for 2 (I really thought it should have ended at 1 story) but obligatory
