Old Footage, New Commentary

(click blog entry title to link to blog post with footage...or watch below!)



What we have here in this video is "new" game footage that we actually have seen before. BUT here you can watch it with commentary from two fellow nerds who point out some cool stuff.

Now I was impressed that the dude here caught Elena in the corner-- I didn't see her there originally. But I'm pretty sure that he's wrong about this being the first time they see each other. Elena clearly already knows Chloe at this point, and if you will recall the footage from the E3 trailer it was sunny out and our adventurous trio was going through the introductions. So they've CLEARLY already met up before this point. But I'm just being nitpicky now :P

Another cool thing is that stuff changes as you play-- you can either kill the dude attacking Chloe or not, and she'll kill him herself. This goes along with the gameplay we saw in the Helicopter Roof Fight level where depending on when and where you enter, furniture can help you take out dudes as it falls out the window and such. Similar goes for the rocket launcher dude who blows open the gate (presumably).

Now one more thing I noticed here this time around-- I'm wondering if perhaps this is a point where Chloe betrays Nate? It seems that she was trying really hard to get them to GTFO as fast as possible, maybe because she had some kind of deal with whoever has showed up at the end of the clip, and now that they couldn't get out she needs to make it look like she has them trapped and will hand them over. So maybe she WAS being altruistic to Nate by trying to get him out of there before the dudes showed up and forced her hand. Maybe.
