When we play games we rarely put too much thought into the environment and non interactive parts of the environment but we surely notice when it’s not up to scratch. But have you ever thought how much effort is put into such things?

Well Naughty Dog has released a video showcasing some of the environments you are going to experience in The Last of Us along with some insight on how they are created and how much effort goes into putting that cupboard in the corner of the room that you hardly even notice.

The thing that really stuck with me after this video is firstly how amazingly talented these people are… and the lighting. Man that lighting is sexy.

The Last of Us is coming to PlayStation 3 around the 14th of June, E3 week…

      Just a few points:

      GTA V – big fan of all things GTA but have always hated the console controls and they haven’t gotten any better over the last decade and now I have a decision to make, play it on a console or hope that that they do the delayed release thing for PC. Either way, GTA FTW!

      The Last of Us – we shall see

      Bioshock Infinite – enjoying it and all (still on 1st playthrough – PC), just feels a bit “samey” with crappier plasmids compared to Bioshock 1. Also the characters in Bio 1 were far more compelling and I preferred the darker tone of the 1st game. Alot of Bio 3 feels rehashed, imo.

      About time Irrational and Take 2 approached EA proper about getting that System Shock 2 license. EA desperately need some love from gamer’s and they don’t have a developer anywhere near the caliber of Irrational so that would be a step in the right direction. EA you hear? Give Irrational back their title and me no hate you no more!

      Tomb Raider – pleasantly surprised but still lacked that wow factor of exploring from the first 2 games in the series… I have been around a while.

      COD 21 – nice!

      I think Bioshock will prob edge out GTA V for game of the year.

      Kid’s probably in school or Gavin will unleash his trolling a little later. I’m convinced it’s Gav. Unless I see proof otherwise, I’m just going to assume that FoxhuntR is Mr Mannion having fun.

        I have my suspects. But I believe its either you, Rince, OVG or Gav as you believe. Unless you are deliberately trying to distract me from you.

          Me? lol, I really wish I had thought about it, but sadly… I can’t take credit for FoxRuntR. I wasn’t online yesterday, internet was down at work, and I had spotty internet last night. Geoff should be able to vouch for me, because I’m usually on skype during the day.

            LOL!! Guys, I’ve trolled LG in the past, but I think by now, it should be clear that my trolling is a lot more suave and distinctly banana-shaped.

            But, last night when I read through the comments, I honestly thought, “Nah.. this is Erwin”,I also have my suspect list, with Gavin on top, then you (Erwinning), the brothers of Trolling (OVG and Rincethis) and even Llew.

            But seriously though, I wish I had thought of it first though… :/ but there’s also the chance that the kid is indeed genuine, just a young child, posting stuff, not really understanding what he’s doing wrong, and that’s actually kind of sad.

            Will never be me. My list is as follow:

            1. You
            2. Rince
            3. OVG
            4. LC (you never know)
            5. Anrey, although I’m sceptical of that one

            Ok let’s rethink this, who has the most to gain from this? I doubt it’s Geoff although you never know with that guy.

            Brenda? He’s currently entertaining strippers while wearing a batgirl outfit,

            Yolanda? I haven’t seen her troll at all (maybe… but I doubt it).

            Gavin… I’m leaning towards the boss, but on the other hand, I think his plea was genuine, and much like the rest of us, he wouldn’t want this community to turn toxic.

            That only leaves the usual bunch of commentators (i.e. the usual suspects). I’d wager a guess it’s one of the loudest voices on the “plea post” from Friday. (Banana Jim, Private EYE)

            That trolling by Foxhunt was way too low level by anybody’s standard

            Yeah, you’re right, which kind of makes me think that the other Fox is really a tween…

    Microsoft, do you know that your silence is going to kill your Brand. Hire some people who know how to market your product.

    SONY is going to own your ass this year. PS3 exclusives and positive PS4 news.

    P.S. (no pun intended) E3 will be to late to try and gain traction on the hype train, any fool can tell you that… or are you all shiting your pants about moving the console reveal back a year while you remove all the DRM insides? :p

      As the President of Microsoft, I must argue with you. Don’t you know that your electricity also goes off, so, don’t buy a vacuum cleaner (not that you know how to use one), as it may not work, sometimes…
