Another PAX has come and gone, and it goes without saying that those in attendance had a blast getting their geek on. The three day exhibition was crammed with panels, presentations and discussion sessions worthy of mention, but the highlight for us was Naughty Dog’s public showing of an extended The Last of Us gameplay demo that was shown to a select number of gaming journalists behind closed doors at this year’s E3 Expo.
If you weren’t able to make it to Seattle last weekend, you can see said PAX gameplay demo here, now, and in high definition.
To borrow the words of ND Community Strategist Eric Monacelli, the demo highlights narrative exploration through interactive prompts, environmental puzzles, the balance of power AI, and some of the dynamic stealth elements players will be able to use to safeguard Joel and Ellie’s well-being.
The duo’s westward journey across an overturned, foreign America is set to be a dangerous one, and your available resources, ammunition count and decision-making regarding conflict engagement and avoidance will dictate how the experience plays out. It’s a stellar example of survival horror at its finest – and there’s not a zombie or Tyrant in sight.
