I don’t know about anyone else but this is very interesting to me. The trailer itself didn’t strike me as being anything special. However, I think Naughty Dog is deliberately trying to garner the same exact hype with it’s debut trailer for The Last of Us as was gained with the debut trailer for Dead Island. Everyone had such an emotional connection with that trailer having first watched it and a great number of people were sorely disappointed to find out the game was nothing like they had initially thought. While Dead Island is a pretty decent game, it had nowhere near the emotional charge that the trailer implied.
It seems that the void was left there when people were expecting Dead Island to be a gripping and deeply emotional survival thriller, Naughty Dog is hoping to fill. I can appreciate the fact that the reveal trailer is made up of game footage rather than being an entirely CG trailer (which has apparently become something evil in the gaming world).
I’m very curious to see how things are going to turn out with this game. Naughty Dog jumps on the zombie/survival/horror game genre and hopes to reel in all the L4D fans and the still disappointed Dead Island fans while simultaneously changing the industry with their impeccable focus on story telling.
I guess we’ll see if The Last of Us has the potential to “Change the industry.”
