GameTrailers TV Inside Scoop!

^_^

So due to certain circumstances I was in fact able to watch this tonight. And let me tell you it looks completely awesome.

Above you can see the whole episode, including the delightful first full cinematic that we've seen. Some things to note:
* The cool old German dude. Dude looks pretty spry for 85+ years old.
* Elena!
* The guide we heard about played by Robin Atkin Downes
* Much of the voice over dialogue from the long E3 trailer came from this cutscene.
* Way to go being a cynical bastard Nate. I missed him so much <3

The new level we get to see is a puzzle/platforming level. Huzzah!
* Puzzles use the other character AI a lot more this time around.
* Much like in the co-op missions, we will need to help the AI characters to accomplish goals and such.
* Nathan's personal journal is used not only to help solve puzzles but also to read information on other characters and settings and so on. Also, somewhere I read that you have to manually flip through the journal to find the solutions-- it doesn't just pop up for you. Cheating takes work.

Other things that I particularly noticed from the full GTTV episode:
* Harry Flynn's appearance is from early on in the game, and is part of the team with Chloe that pulls Nate into the treasure hunt. No word on how long he lives.
* Bruce Straley was obviously mum on whether or not there are "surprise twists" toward the end. That seems like a big YES to me.
* There are more vehicle sections, but the only one we hear about specifically is the train one. That would be enough for me though-- it looks to be pretty big and exciting, no!?
* The cinematic feature of the multiplayer looks to be pretty kick-ass, and useful in analyzing gameplay too.
* Multiplayer can be edited by Naughty Dog without crazy patches. This means they can move around certain set pieces, like small bits of cover and gun/ammo placement, in order to keep the experience fresh.

Super exciting.
