Video PS3

As you know, the reviews of The Last of Us were released yesterday and we unfortunately haven't had time to fully translate ours into English yet. We're still working on it so you should have it before the end of the week end, but until then, why don't you take a look at our 5 exclusive videos of the game? Naughty Dog having asked the press to show more than 5 30 second-long extracts, you obviously won't see much, but the silver lining is that you won't get spoiled either. We wouldn't want to ruin the suspense but we loved the game and we think you will too. Enjoy!
Note: If you want to brush up on your French, our review is right here.

Amazing camera work during melee combat, and they are brutal to look at too.
Nice visuals as usual from ND.

Muted colors, hand made textures to hide the graphics flaws. Nice trick there. Original Crysis shits over this cartoonish looking graphics

Whilst I do agree with the Crysis remark, the "hand made" textures has me baffled. How else are textures made? Or do you mean hand drawn? The game looks good, but maybe it's because I've been gaming on a decent gaming rig the past few years, I think it looks a bit ordinary. The aliasing certainly stands out.

Procedurally, for one example.

I think it's Joel's shirt. It's very industrial, rustic, and it somehow seems to blend into everything else giving it a bit of a muddled look in places.

You're obviously free not to watch but the Action videos really show nothing else but combat, so you basically can't even see any of the environments. ;)

@supercomputer oh he mad. Dude both Crysis 1 and Warhead still hang/crash on current gen high end PCs when you try to actually play to complete...

And you needed a GeForce GTX 8800 in SLI to actually play it way back then and you had to wait months until you could actually play it in 64bit mode... stop comparing an over hyped PC game that did not deliver on everything the dev promised... (A.I....)

Last of Us is running on old 2005 technology and just for looking so good and actually functioning across all consoles (PS3) is a grand slam and why its bad comparing apples to oranges.
