Naughty Dog unquestionably making a clear effort to give us next-gen animation.
No other title to date have i seen so many varied animations for just the simple things like running and climbing around. I can imagine this was a hellish blend anim project for the animators involved.
God speed to them tho if they pull all this fluidity off.
Damn same old Gamers Day video! BTW in the latest version they changed the girls hair colour. But good stuff by snoopers, I like how he checked out the controls before exploring
Ugh, the combat still looks horribly clunky. And I swear, this may be a rain forest, but using fog to the point of completely hiding the draw distance with solid white should only be seen on the N64.

Lets not exaggerate, it never goes solid white. Decent games devs haven't used fog since intelligent LODS, matte paintings and many other ways out became commonplace in the games industry. So no, they aren't "hiding" anything. It's an artistic choice that, for me sells the forest look.
As for the clunkiness, i see what looks like someone pick up the game for probably their second play ever, leap onto a stone wall, aim over the top of it and kill 3 people, admittedly not with a tonne of grace in aiming, but can you remember what you looked like playing gears of war or mgs for the first time?

un this build is from March 2007, not saying they fixed the combat in the e3 build but this is the oldest build of the game. ND did say they were going to fix it.
I don't know about draw distance, the stuff they showed at e3 had great draw distance (the spanish fortress), I wouldn't worry about graphics....

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)

By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)

@Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (> 3 Months ago)

The animation is just amazing in this one, very realistic and believable, from cinematics to the gameplay itself.
I for one can't wait to get this on day one :D
