The Last of Us concept art gives us an idea about the game
Playstation Magazine posted some concept art of The Last of Us giving us an idea of the game's world. Naughty Dog revealed The Last of Us as their new project and a reveal trailer was shown during this year's VGA's. If you haven't checked it out, I highly suggest you take a look at it. This is the first set of concept art released by Naughty Dog, and from it we get an idea on what to expect from this Playstation 3 exclusive title.
This picture alone already hints the kind of gameplay it will have. Classified as a survival horror, you be sneaking around and taking cover in a 3rd person perspective. With this concept art and trailer, it looks like Joel and Ellie will be going against the disease that ruined their world other survivors also trying to make it through the day.
This page above makes me think The Last of Us is Ellen Page(Juno, Whip It) meets I Am Legend with Naughty Dog directing. Will it's already confirmed that Ellen Page has nothing to do with the project, the character Ellie has a strong resemblance to the actress and is obviously their reference. Her personality is also similar.
Before the trailer was revealed in the VGA's and before we knew Naughty Dog is behind the game, people found a clue in Uncharted 3 that hinted that Uncharted creators are behind this new exclusive title. Other gamers also confirmed that this clue was not placed during a patch and was intentionally placed when the game was shipped. Cool stuff. Check out the clue below.
The Last of Us is an exclusive title for the Playstation 3 and is said to be aiming for a Q4 2012 release or early 2013.
Here's a tip on how to steal in Skyrim
Leveling your sneak in the new Elder Scrolls is actually pretty easy, but just in case you don't want to waste experience on it, here's a way to steal items successfully. Don't really know if I can call this a glitch. Regardless, its effective at the same time hilarious.
I've tried it myself and it works! Bethesda is aware of this method of stealing items in Skyrim but have no intentions right now in fixing it. Understandable since there's a lot more serious issues that need their attention.
Still waiting for Patch 1.3 before continuing with my second character, need that install to reduce loading times. The install issue was fixed in the 1.2 patch but gives us an even bigger problem of magic resistance not working, so I ignored the 1.2 patch and patiently waiting for the next one. Need a break from Skyrim anyways.
More VGA reveals: Diablo 3's Intro Cinematic Trailer
Hey look at that, yet another Diablo 3 exclusive reveal. This is said to be the intro cinematic for Diablo 3. As always, it looks simply amazing. It shows Leah with her Uncle Deckard Cain doing some research that predicts yet again that evil is coming. Blizzard we know the game is going to blow our minds, care to give us a release date already??
I suggest watching this on 1080p to get the full effect of this Cinematic Trailer.
Diablo 3 is still on TBA status still but beta for the game is currently underway, which means release time should be close by.....I hope.
VGA 2011: Epic Games reveal new title called Fortnite
Epic Games mentioned a new game is in the works and will be revealed during the VGA's. Well, it isn't a new Gears game, or another Bulletstorm, but an entirely new title called Fortnite. Epic Games is bringing something completely different this time around. Still powered by Unreal, the debut trailer shows a camera man filming a group survivors preparing during the day for an onslaught of zombie-like creatures that obviously comes out at night.
Fortnite seems to have a cartoon-ish art that I've never seen from Epic Games. Reminded me a little of Team Fortress 2's art. While I wasn't too thrilled with what I saw(possible zombie survival again?), the fact that Epic Games is showing that their open in creating something entirely different from what people expect from them is a big plus for me. Not much info was given, not even a date or platform release.
