Fuck you Bob.

Looked amazing from a context sensitive point of view. Although I simply dont believe any of this shit until I actually play games with my own chubby digits these days.

I'd be more suspicious if Uncharted didn't already do this kind of thing superbly.

I've jut had a mate call me and he said he's watched an interview with one of the ND team and he spoke abut the gameplay trailer.

Apparently the monsters are still in it (gutted) and the section we saw could be tackled a number of different ways (excite), there is a behind closed doors session coming up soon...

More control on what details get out I guess.

As long as things seem as tightly controlled as Uncharted, I don't mind choices being introduced. Have never really played a game where choices brought much of anything to the party though.

Did it not have context sensitive stuff in the fights in 3?

It did. Though the majority of of which I saw in the opening pub brawl and they were only during specific fisticuffs only bits. Everything else I always happened to beat the shite out of someone just out of the magical radius in which to show them off.

Regarding animation I'd like to see a main character who isn't a parkour elite, somebody who would struggle to leap through an open window after climbing up a dumpster, somebody who would think twice about jumping from a roof to a precarious looking drainpipe, somebody who could get over a 6' wall but would take more than one cat-like majestic sweeping leap to clear it. I want my character's animation to be more like, well, me...

Why?

Will get this.

Not that I know of, I thought the animation in Max Payne was the best I've seen...

Whilst I wouldn't want this for every game, I see the appeal of the odd one doing this. We're always a superhero. Occasionally, being just some guy way over his head could be fun.

I havent played much of 3 (dont own a ps3) but I believe most of that stuff wasnt dynamic. It was very well done but effectively quicktime events. Basically, from whats been betrayed so far - The Last Of Us's close-quarters gameplay combat looks like Uncharted's quicktime events without the quicktime element = basically amazing.

There were bits in Uncharted 3 where you could clobber folks with different bits and pieces, depending on where you were threw them, brought the fight. Fish market was one. They were definitely restricted though, and there was quite a bit of the quicktime stuff - though integrated in a way that ended up turned the standard mashing of square into a beautifully animated and involved mashing of square. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with this.

@Dante: I guess so. It all comes down to how it's done. I felt Uncharted had the right mix of that. In a game where spectacular things happen, your character is eventually going to have be spectacular. Max Payne was also interesting in that way. He is very fragile for one, takes knocks very hard and moves slowly. Nice contrast with the bullet time.

I agree with your point though. We've all been superduperheros for too long. It would be nice to be someone who really had to battle. Although the game mechanics and controls would have to be perfect to avoid frustration.

That's the trick.

I think that yes, it's likely to be a little more difficult to execute, and possibly a reason why we've not really seen it. That said, there's nothing special about Heavy Rain's Ethan Mars.
