The beautiful wastelands of 'The Last of Us' - Exclusive Video

The exclusive “Wasteland Beautiful” video below — a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the environments – shows what happens when nature starts reclaiming its territory, as dense foliage has begun overtaking the game’s crumbling cities. The creative team at developer Naughty Dog discusses how light and shadow help create a believable, fully immersive world that despite the devastation, is beautiful in its own eerie way.

Oh WOW. Just environments here for those who don't like spoiler videos. The interesting thing in this video -- for me at least -- is the fact that we now see an unknown character dragging the ladder onto the bus. Is this perhaps the multiplayer?

DigitalRaptor4666d ago (Edited 4666d ago )

I doubt it. If you recall the E3 demo, there's a ladder that Joel & Ellie climb to get up to the next floor. And from there, they encounter scavengers. I'm guessing that this is a little hint of what happens before they arrive: The scavengers find a ladder and use it to get to that building they're in before the player arrives.

But oh man! Those environments are nothing short of breathtaking. The artwork is gorgeous, the lighting is natural which makes a big difference and the environmental detail is very impressive. From a technical and artistic standpoint, this is looking to be everything I want it to be.

The exploration parts are going to be wonderful, I'll tell you that.

GribbleGrunger4666d ago

But Ellie drags the ladder down from the stack of boxes after Joel helps her up. She drops them to Joel who then takes them. Those two men are taking the ladder into the building. Why would they then put it on top of those boxes?

Naughty Dog is on track to be the greatest developer of all time.

Sony is so blessed to have Naughty Dog working their absolute best on squeezing every ounce of creative magical juice out of the PS3.

Every person inside ND is using Sony's granted freedom and creative control as an opportunity to give it all their best efforts to make The Last of Us a gaming master piece.

Uncharted brought me back to gaming and believe in it as a relevant form of entertainment.

The Last of Us makes me a proud PlayStation 3 gamer.

Naughty Dog's creative genius can not be bound by hardware limitations. PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4 or even PC, put them on any platform and they will create video game magic. Their work ethic is uniquely unmatched.

Like I did Uncharted series TLOU will be played the day it comes.

M-M4666d ago

Naughty Dog has an amazing group of talented people. Really enjoyed the video.

Campy da Camper4666d ago (Edited 4666d ago )

This masterpiece comes out (now) the day after my bday. I have the day off from work and going to midnight release. I am going to play it using my Sennheiser 380hd pros on my new Sammy LED 55" TV. I am getting take out pizza (take n bake) from my local mom and pop pizzeria to sustain myself throughout the night. My only problem left is trying to figure out how to get the Gatorade bottle taped to my ding dong without causing discomfort...what, like I WANT to stop playing to tinkle?

No wife or roommates to answer to. It is truly great being a bachelor.

50Terabytespersec4666d ago

AMAZING! Having just beat GOD OF WAR ACSENCION
Which the ending was so over the top and looked like a multimillion dollar hollywood film! but better.
I am looking every bit forward to seeing this game . The mouth watering graphics are second to none i presume as the PS3 is hitting it stride!!!
NOW I WANT GT6!!! On PS3!! NOW!

Ezz20134666d ago (Edited 4666d ago )

guys guys, does any one of you gone to gamespot system wars ?!

the amount of fanboys there downplaying this game is off the charts
the only forum on the internet who hate any thing related to ps3...other than that pretty much every other site praise the game to no end

and they dare and say N4G is the worst site lol

what funny I have gone to Team.xbox forums
and they are loving the game a lot

Ripsta7th4665d ago

@Ezz2013 - HOw do you do dat? how do you fool your mind into thinking what it wants? is that the fanboy mentality taking over? We alll know this a SONY site, you guys even said it, this is payback for 2006 or some shit like dat.So if anything you got it twisted

Oh god, this has made the wait even more unbearable. This game could & proberly will be THE survival horror game of all time.

This game will set a new benchmark for survival horror of that iam certain.

chadboban4666d ago

Funny thing is though, Arne Meyer the community manager at Naughty Dog insists that it's not survival horror but rather a "new" genre. You can check out this statement he posted at Neogaf here:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

I'll make the judgement of what it is when I play it for myself though. Just two months to go!

Marcello4666d ago (Edited 4666d ago )

Ok well that comment on neogaf just doesnt make any sense.

The game is definitely horror of that there can be no question & you can sneak around or try tactics with your scarce bullets, bottles, bricks etc etc which is survival so its survival horror but its not ???

I guess we will see come june 14th

Heavenly King4666d ago (Edited 4666d ago )

He says that if you play it with preconceptions of other genres instead of letting the game teach you the "new" mechanics of this "new" genre, it will be more difficult in an unsatisfying way.

Ezz20134666d ago

It's a mix of survival horror and survival action And Adventure and Action

chadboban4666d ago (Edited 4666d ago )

Damn it June can't come soon enough. Really can't wait to get this this game. Naughty Dog and Retro Studios are among my favorite devs EVER because they but so much love into their work and it shows in every single game that they make.

PopRocks3594666d ago

I heard that! This game looks sick. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Double_Oh_Snap4666d ago

WOW! At both the environment, and the music!

clintos594666d ago

I knew this would make ppl want the game even more. So beautiful.

It’s strange that Tencent wants to make games that Sony makes already and does a great job. I could see asking about reviving a franchise but current franchises don’t make much sense.

Christopher92d ago

It's not strange at all. They're big on copying successes, not on developing their own.

darthv7292d ago

That was pretty much the norm for several years. a big hit gets released, then you start to see clones. God of War and then Dante's Inferno. Gears of War and then Quantum Theory. Those are just a couple but there are plenty more.

Its been the same with movies and tv shows for decades.

jambola91d ago

Its pretty much the standard tbh
I mean how many cinematic universes and multiverses have we seen in the last 10 years

RaidenBlack91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

Give 'em SOCOM/Killzone/Resistance/inFa mous? (defo: not Uncharted tho)

rlow192d ago

Well that’s what the Chinese do steal and copy. Then call it their own…not surprised.

italiangamer92d ago (Edited 92d ago )

The First of Them! 100% Made in China.

_Decadent_Descent91d ago

I'd actually be stoked if it played well and had an MP mode.

DivineHand12591d ago

Guys when I am not gaming or watching media, I will read or listen to books for entertainment. There are a bunch of great books out there with stories that are super interesting.

I don't understand why these studios won't try to do an adaptation of some of those books instead of trying to copy each other.

Some of the best games around were adapted from some of these books.

yeah, they're gonna overprice it so only 0.5% of the playerbase can buy it. The spiderman packs cost like 650 for 12 packs or something, on top of spiderman not fitting into mtg at all. Most of current PS characters don't fit either.
