The game continues to run in real-time as he does so making careful planning necessary to survival. He can create these items at any time, even during combat. One such example is creating a molotov cocktail out of items in his backpack. Joel is also able to combine materials in his inventory to create useful items. To restore health, Joel will have to apply health packs, but trying to find the time to do so simply could invite enemies to launch surprise attacks. Unlike Uncharted, health regeneration is not included in the gameplay's framework. This is proving Ellie's and the AI's intelligence in general and how they react to the situation. One of his comrades pleads for Joel to "let him go".Īt the end of the E3 2012 demo, Ellie is shown throwing a brick at an enemy while Joel is in trouble and the enemy is looking for him behind cover. At one point, Joel is also seen taking a hostage at gunpoint and using him as a human shield. In recent gameplay footage ( E3 2012) enemy scavengers are seen shouting out Joel's location as well as communicating with each other vocally. If their efforts bear no fruit, then they will fall back or run. Fallen enemies could work to upset their comrades and galvanize them to push harder. Naughty Dog believes the more they humanize and add psychology to the human enemies, the more scary they become. Strength in numbers could let enemies behave a bit more aggressively as they try to flank Joel. If Joel is holding a handgun, the enemy will err on the side of caution and hide behind cover as necessary. The sight of any weapon in Joel's hand, even a brick, could be cause for alarm, but enemies will react realistically to the type of weapon in possession. A single bullet from a pistol can kill an enemy. Since resources are scarce, Joel will not be a frenzied hotshot, squandering very precious ammunition. There may even be a few run-ins with the military as they catch up with the two.Īccording to Game Informer (Issue 227, 2012 March) Naughty Dog is integrating a new AI system called "Balance of Power" that works very realistically compared to their previous games. As Joel and Ellie are trying to escape the military, they will constantly be on the run and have to deal with scavengers, survivors, and hunters trying to kill them along the way. Naughty Dog did announce The Infected and show them in the trailer, but there will not be too many encounters with them.
