Recommended Posts

Game Informer has gone live with the first in-game screenshots from Naughty Dog?s The Last of Us,as promised. Get them below the break. The game will be released sometime in late 2012 or early 2013.

Most post-apocalyptic worlds are bleak and gray. Naughty Dog utilizes natural growth to spice up the color palette and add a sense of the abnormal. Notice the yellow bridge in the background? Yep, this is Pittsburgh.

The developers stress that The Last of Us is not one long escort mission. Although you won't control Ellie in the game, her AI is one of the team's primary areas of focus. In our demo she always managed to keep up, yet stay out of the way. She didn't seem to need any babysitting at all.

Combat includes both gunplay and melee attacks. Weapons will break after repeated use, so you'll have to scavenge around for new items frequently.

Visually, it reminds me of the Uncharted games which isn't a bad thing. The Naughty Dog game engine is quite impressive. I just hope they don't take too much from Uncharted.

If only they developed games for the PC. I love their work and they've pushed the PS3's hardware to new boundaries.

Agreed. I often find myself imagining what they could do with PC hardware.

Just look at those washed out textures on the pick-up. Seriously, is that what passes for AMAZING for a 2013 game? The foliage seems nice, though.

Then again I probably shouldn't troll in PS3 threads *cough*

Nah they look bad, but I'm sure they'll get touched up. A lot of the graphical polishing/finishing touches for the Uncharted games came in the last 3 months of dev cycle.

We are talking about a system released in 2007..... The first two shot's looks great and like uncharted will lok even better in motion. Seriously I think it looks amazing, not for the tech, but for the style anddetails of the run down city. This is coming from someone who doesn't even own a ps3 and has never played an uncharted game....

That's why I said I shouldn't really troll here. I am a graphics ######, plain and simple. That makes my platform bias very apparent.

I find it a little weird that they didn't polish things up for the screenshots.

I think you mean doctor them up and not polish, which it is pretty well known that is usually what most developers do. They either bump up all the settings to what is usually unrealistic settings for the average end user (2 580 GTX's in SLi for example), or they use a developer version of the engine that is incredibly doctored up just to take screenshots, so I would much rather have a developer show us the truth rather than an unrealistic look that if I tried to play it, it would be a slide show on my PC because the FPS would be that low. Also as pointed out, Naughty Dog is known for releasing screenshots that are not representative of the final product. They really do a whole lot of polish in the last few months.

Not only that, while they are fine and dandy, I do not mind nice visuals if and when they are available, but they really mean diddly squat at the end of the day. If the game does not play good, they are irrelevant. You cannot polish a turd is an old saying that comes to mind.

Finally, I do feel that style plays a huge role in the overall feel of a game, so nice visuals are not always just about anti aliasing and post processing and whatever other fancy terms people throw around. Style is incredibly important to me.

I too am a graphics ######, and if this was on pc, I would definately have different comments to make on the screenshots.

I do also find it kinda wierd now I think about it that of the 3 screens they released one has a hugely blurry texture plastered across it.

I do like naughty dogs engine though. There is something natural and soft about the characters you don't really see in other games. Not to mention the videos of uncharted i've seen in motion look astounding. They are certainly leading edge when it comes to video game animations. imo

This game is so telling me from screenshot that it needs a next generation system. i could just imagine what ND could do with the Wii U hardware if they was able to program for the Wii U omg but even so i hope with this game they eeek every mb of GPU and system ram out of the PS3 i hope they use every bit of the GPU and CPU Screw the PS3 XMB menu while the game is going this game deserves every dang resource the PS3 has

Lol, Wii U isnt next generation, its just this generation+.

We don't even know the full specs yet outside of "It'll use a quad core processor" - that ranges from the original Phenom to the Core i7 2700K.

Anyway, this looks amazing, can't wait :)

Well the Wii U will use a Current generation IBM Multi-core chip based around on the current Power 7 Processor ( 360 uses Power 4/5 design 7 years old) the Wii U will be using possiably a 4870 GPU ( 360 uses R500 based GPU similar to that of the X1900 desktop chip)

Just hope with the fact it is being built with the Uncharted engine that it gets out before Sony request it is put to as a next gen title rather than current.

If it comes for the next gen PS due to a delay, I will just get it for the next gen PS :)

    • Apple releases iOS 26.5.2 with dozens of security fixes for iPhone by Karthik Mudaliar Apple has released iOS 26.5.2 and iPadOS 26.5.2, which are security-only updates for the iPhone and the iPad. The update brings a bunch of security fixes for WebKit, WebRTC, WebKit Storage, WebKit Canvas, Web Extensions, libxslt, IOGPUFamily, and even the kernel. Some of the WebKit issues that were fixed could have allowed malicious web content to disclose sensitive user information, exfiltrate cross-origin data, crash Safari, or process restricted web content outside the browser sandbox. One notable WebKit Storage bug could let a malicious website to silently hijack clipboard data, according to Apple’s description. Other WebKit-related flaws involved memory corruption, use-after-free bugs, type confusion, out-of-bounds writes, permissions problems, and cross-origin data handling issues. The update also includes three kernel-related fixes. Apple says one of the flaws could let an app write kernel memory or cause unexpected system termination, while another may leak sensitive kernel state, and a third could corrupt kernel memory or terminate the system unexpectedly. Although Apple hasn't described them as remote web attacks, kernel bugs are still important to fix, as they can sometimes be chained with other flaws to escape app or browser restrictions. The updates are available for iPhone 11 and later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 8th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later. Similar security fixes also came with the latest update to macOS Tahoe 26.5.2, which Apple released on the same day. That overlap is not surprising, since Safari, WebKit, WebRTC, and other underlying components are shared across Apple’s platforms. Users are advised to update their devices sooner rather than later as these security fixes are crucial. iOS 26.5.2 can be installed from Settings > General > Software Update. Similarly, Mac users can find macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 through System Settings > General > Software Update.
    • Taken them long enough, that is one good thing. I still refuse to have a Whatsapp account, because it still need a phone number to have an account. don't want to give Meta my phone number
    • Good think I still have SDRAM and FP RAM sitting around.
