Moving trains are a staple of the action movie genre. They’ve even been featured in several games but never like this. Naughty Dog premiered their gameplay footage at PAX and the video is now on GameTrailers – you have to enter your age to get access it and then three and a half minute later you can fill the comments section with adoration as you talk about how jaw-droppingly gorgeous it is.
After a while of watching the video it might occur to you just how technically impressive it is that Naughty Dog have managed to get a moving character (and enemies) to interact with a moving train. All surfaces moving together and reacting with each other. That is probably the most impressive technical achievement I’ve seen this generation and the blend of gameplay with those smart cut-scenes is just sublime. Enjoy.

This just blew my mind away! When Naughty Dog said that they only used 30% of the PS3 for U1, and 100% for U2, I’m starting to believe them now :D

Woah! I love the way it moves from scripted animation to live play and back again. Seamless.
I have a bad feeling that I might have to add this to my growing list of ‘wanted’ games in the run up to Christmas. Time to be extra nice to Mrs Amphlett I think…

looks really great…apart from the trees not moving with a helicopter so close, which i thought was odd as the water reacted with it, so why not the trees? lol never mind, bet it plays nice tho!
Is this finished code, or still in the build process?
