    The gameplay + art is looking insane! The movement looks really smooth. Being able to go under cars or move between shelves. Also the fighting system looks incredibly dynamic. Can't wait to see more, it's hard to believe this is actually a game.

      It's hard to say whether or not it accurately reflects what the final product will be, and it's possible that certain animation sequences e.g. being thrown through the glass were choreographed so that the models were in just the right position to avoid any jerkiness, but I'm still optimistic that the results will still be really beautiful and enjoyable.

      If the game really does end up being just like the trailer, though, I would argue that it will set a new bar for game studios everywhere.

        If it were any other studio I'd have the same skepticism. But I think Naughty Dog's track record speaks for itself. TLOU and the Uncharted games have all demonstrated an aptitude for really fluid,...

        If it were any other studio I'd have the same skepticism. But I think Naughty Dog's track record speaks for itself. TLOU and the Uncharted games have all demonstrated an aptitude for really fluid, dynamic combat situations like shown in this trailer.

          This is why I'm at least optimistic about the quality :)

    Looks really good. Definitely interested. Like the stealth focus. Reminded me a lot of MGS.

      The first game was pretty stealth-focused save for certain conflicts as well, though the stealth was always technically optional and will likely be optional for the sequel as well. In any case,...

      In any case, I'm definitely on the hype train for this one, having really enjoyed the original :)

    I have to say, I really don't care whether the gameplay is clunky, the trailer oversells animation or whatever else.

    If the story is anywhere near as engaging as TLOS and the expansion, I'll happily pay what it costs to follow another brilliant 7-hour long interactive movie.

    The amount of contextual animations in the trailer is crazy. I wonder if that's how the game will be or if it's just smoke and mirrors for the trailer.
