So it is Ellen Page in zombieland... It will be intresting to see what Naughty Dog does with that genre.

Well I hope it is a multiplatform title this time.

[Peter McCoy]

Apparently it's a PS3 exclusive.

[Miranda Tarkin]

Is Naughty Dog just PS3 exclusive in general? I don't know but so far any game I have heard made from them are

[Dasquian Belargic]

I think they are. They have basically been making Playstation exclusive games since the late 90s.

[Xel-Naga]

I throw my money at my screen and nothing happens. Give me Ellen Page!

[Dasquian Belargic]

Yup. ELLEN PAGE as ELLEN PAGE

Love the Ellen Pageness. Also, there is a game coming out that is literally using Ellen Page for Ellen Pageness that is not this game. MORE ELLEN PAGE.


also - so Drake's older now?

[Peter McCoy]

That gameplay video was fantastic.

One week to go! I'm sooooooo looking forward to getting my hands on this title!

[Nathanial K'cansce]

I've heard nothing but awesomeness about this game. Hell, it even is making its way into random conovs with co-workers at work.

[Peter McCoy]

So I was in town today and thought "Fuck it! One more credit card purchase before I cut the bastard up!"

I've played about 2 hours and I'm loving it. My first encounter with the infected was unnerving to say the least, but I managed to remain undetected. The game looks gorgeous when you have a quiet moment to stop and take in the surroundings - nature's reclamation of the decaying urban wasteland is so sad and yet so truly beautiful at the same time. Got myself a handgun and some sort of melee weapon so I'm feeling a bit safer, but for now I'm dealing with some survivor fuckers so no bitey buggers right now. Gonna invest some good hours-long sessions into this game over the coming week! The intro section was brutal and frightening and very well done. And I got some bonus content as well - Playstation Avatars and a theme as well as the soundtrack for download.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I don't know if it's even possible to do LP videos from a console, but if you can.. you should! Since I'll never get to play this game, it'd be cool to see some of it :)

[Peter McCoy]

I'd need to buy a capture device and while I've seen a cheap one it's shite. To get full HD capture I need to spend over £100 and I'm not prepared to do that right now. But there's always my birthday in September!

[Peter McCoy]

I'm now another 2 hours into the game and I want my mummy! These friggin' Clickers creep me the fuck out! Just traversed a small area with about five of the bastards wandering around. I was worried that the mechanics of the gamr might ruin the atmosphere ie vaulting over obstructions in the environment but My concerns were unfounded. From my silent, crouched positon I jumped over a low concrete barrier only to land just as ine of the fuckers turned the corner right in front of me. The noise I made as I landed on the other side of the barrier resulted in death by Clicker! My concern was the animation of vaulting over debris would not generate sound in a detection manner but it did which was good. Patience is the key with these guys, as well as being alert so you can move out of their way while maintaining awareness of the whereabouts of other clickers. But God! The way they move is sooooo unnerving, and those sounds are so freaky! They sound like The Grudge posessed a Geonosian.

[Peter McCoy]

Just finished this little over an hour ago and bloody hell, it was an incredible experience.

If there's any way anybody can actually play this game, you should! Seriously, ask a friend if you can borrow their console for a few days or over a weekend. I clocke din at 22 hours but I've been watching Markipliers playthrough - making sure not to watch beyond my current save - and he did it in 14 hour-long videos. I basically explored every nook and cranny and found a lot mor eitems than he, though I did notice a few details in his playthrough that eluded me. Now I have my New Game + to start sometime, where I keep all my items and upgrades from the end of the game over to a fresh start - that'll be interesting.

Please, please, please try and play this rather than watch a Let's Play if you can at all - it's worth it!

[Dasquian the Elf]

Ahhh Peter man, you're making me want to play this so bad. Alas I fear it will be a Lets Play experience for me in the end :( I don't know anyone with the a PS3
