He takes out a bandit but is spotted by another down the hall. She crouches down with him and, in a whisper, asks if they should go around. He tenses up and slides into cover saying “oh shit” and telling Ellie to hide. Let’s break down all the beats of the trailer that aren’t representative of the actual game.Īs Joel and Ellie enter the building, Joel hears a man talking and reacts. It doesn’t just show features that aren’t in the game, it represents The Last Of Us as something it’s not - an action immersive sim with a cinema-quality presentation. It’s not uncommon for trailers to make things look a bit better than they actually are, especially on stage at E3, but this gameplay demonstration is some next level deception. Of course, anyone who has played The Last of Us knows this trailer is a misrepresentation of the game. To this day it’s still the best gameplay trailer ever made, so watch it again if you need a reminder. In retrospect, it’s nothing more than a scripted sequence masterfully disguised as gameplay, but in 2012 I was convinced it was the next evolution of what video games could be. The emergent gameplay on display in the reveal trailer is unbelievably natural and cinematic. I watched it over and over all year leading up to the release of the game because I’d never seen anything like it - unfortunately, I still haven’t. When this gameplay trailer aired, I was obsessed with it.
On the other hand, we’ve yet to see any gameplay, and I think there could be some actual value in updating TLOU if Naughty Dog can make the game we first saw at E3 2012. Related: The Multiplayer Last Of Us Game Sounds Like Sony's Big Live Service Headliner
THE LAST OF US PART 1 TRAILER MOVIE
Would you like to see a shot-for-shot remake of your favorite movie with different actors? I doubt it.
We should not clap like trained seals over the prospect of buying a version of TLOU that looks like TLOU2, and there’s no artistic value to changing the faces of the characters. The Last of Us was astonishing to look at in 2013 and it’s still a beautiful game, it was not in need of an update. Between the reveal at Summer Game Fest and the promotional tweets on Naughty Dog’s Twitter page, all the marketing for The Last of Us Part 1 has focused on the graphical enhancements and changes to the characters’ faces.
