Company Sony and studio Naughty dog published the last diary of adventure action developers The Last of Us: Part II. In the final issue, the authors paid attention to familiarity with the world of the game..
The developers explained that they sought to make every step in it a test, so that every decision was difficult for Ellie. And this was embodied not only in the gameplay, but also in the design of the cards. For this purpose, the authors made some places really dangerous because of the weather, fast rivers, rocky cliffs or slippery snow. However, much will also depend on the observation of the players.
“We also take advantage of how blind the player is. Well, how could you see? How calm are you? Can you see the threat from around the corner? You don’t know if your weapons have enough power. You don’t know “will you have time to apply a bandage. You cannot breathe freely. And we want you to feel a connection with Ellie, who has not been able to breathe since she survived the injury.”
Creating the same JacksonNaughty Dog specifically sought to create an atmosphere of a close-knit community built around a family and providing itself with everything necessary. For example, they have a hydroelectric power station that supplies electricity to the city.
“Given that everything happens later, we wanted to show that there are people in the world who are trying to revive a life not built around murder and looting. When you walk around the city, you hear children’s laughter. You see people who eat in restaurants. Such a “a very calm city. Jackson in many respects personifies what is dear to our characters, life in peace and relative comfort, a life in which you can fall in love, in which children can play normally.”
Seattle compared to Jackson, it’s completely different and seems more like a battlefield, where the factions are fighting among themselves for the resources of the area.
“These are very green lands, if someone wanted to settle there, he would consider this place suitable, because there are a lot of fruits that can be collected and animals that can be hunted. And it was this wealth, the abundance of resources that caused war. “
One of them is called Washington Liberation Front. When the epidemic began, the military began to severely quarantine entire areas, which led to an increase in civil resistance. This group managed to defeat the military and capture a large number of their equipment, which it now uses to protect its territories. Also in the city there is Seraphites – A religious community whose members believe that the disease was sent for sins and are trying to “nullify” the world, return it to its former, better times. They use guerrilla tactics, knowing how to act covertly and silently, using local dense vegetation.
“In the world of One of Us,” almost any group that has lived so long must be dangerous. If you are not dangerous, then you will not survive, you will be someone else’s victim. And both factions that you encounter are very dangerous. “
Seraphites speak a different language, they have developed a different style of communication, so they will have to behave differently. In addition, they own the same weapons that Ellie has, large sledgehammers and other melee weapons. And the VOF, in turn, uses dogs that track and attack the main character. Dogs have their own nicknames. Owners call them by name.
The greatest danger in the world of The Last of Us: Part II is still posed by the infected. For example, the game will have scenarios with whole hordes Runnersthat will chase you. New infection stages and classes will also appear. there is Sharkunsthat emit caustic gas when they are approached.
“You’re running along the corridor and suddenly confronted with the choice: take damage and run through this cloud, look for some other way or even go back. And this, as it were, makes you improvise, make new decisions about how to deal with the threat behind you or perhaps ahead of you. Again, this also helped us to make the battles with infected more intelligent. So you enter the room, you listen because different classes make different sounds. If you just break in, forgetting about caution, they can easily surround you and make me regret it. “
Release of The Last of Us 2 will take place on June 19.
