Rated Mature: Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Nudity, Sexual Content, Strong Language, Use of Drugs 00:04 under here what the gameplay needs to do 00:08 is immerse you in the world give you as 00:12 many interesting actions to survive in 00:15 this world and overcome obstacles and 00:17 obstacles could be infected it could be 00:19 other people it could just be the 00:20 environment it could be rushing water 00:22 anything it could happen in this 00:24 post-apocalyptic world yeah but more 00:29 than anything it needs to put you in 00:30 Ellie's shoes that you're experiencing 00:32 what I was experiencing and I can you 00:34 feel what she feels because the more we 00:36 do that the more the emotional beats of 00:38 the story work for us and the more they 00:40 work for us in this very unique way that 00:41 only works in videogames 00:47 the gameplay philosophy of the last was 00:51 part two is putting you in the shoes of 00:54 Ellie and everything that that means it 00:57 means giving you a threat constantly as 01:02 this world has it means giving you the 01:05 hard choices because this game takes 01:07 place in such a hostile universe and our 01:09 characters are pushed to do really 01:12 difficult things we want to put you in 01:14 alignment with those choices we want you 01:15 to understand how hard certain decisions 01:18 were for these characters because 01:19 they're hard for you 01:21 I would say the overarching philosophy 01:26 of how we approach designing the game 01:30 mechanically is how can we take things 01:33 to the next next level everything kind 01:40 of comes out of this story and how do we 01:46 do it through systems so one is you have 01:51 to feel the pressure of survival survive 01:56 by the skin of my teeth how do I use all 01:58 these all the scrap around me any kind 02:02 of bullet any kind of rag and you kind 02:04 of bottle of alcohol how do we give you 02:07 that sense of being a survivor in this 02:09 world Ellie is very small compared to 02:20 Joel and more nimble 02:22 how do we make you feel like you're not 02:25 the strongest person in the room but you 02:27 still should be able to rise to the 02:28 challenge and survive you know a fight 02:31 with a bunch of people that are all 02:32 bigger than you do so therefore it meant 02:37 creating a character and systems and 02:39 mechanics that allow you to be much more 02:41 nimble and that's where we added a jump 02:46 button and the first thing we had a 02:50 climber button I'm not really jumping 02:52 and here Ellie can jump the combat 02:56 sonars are much more vertical well he 02:57 can use elevation to her advantage 03:01 prone is a huge huge one prone obviously 03:05 it means to lay flat on the ground 03:07 something so simple again something that 03:09 in real life you'd be able to do letting 03:13 the player have access to all their 03:14 weapons all the items crafting 03:17 everything while in that position and it 03:21 just creates so many more emergent 03:24 things in gameplay now that we have this 03:27 other state that the player could be in 03:29 which they're very low to the ground how 03:31 else can we use this other than just 03:32 hiding and vegetation or like well 03:34 there's a lot of manmade things or 03:36 different structure that I've collapsed 03:39 that allow just enough space for you to 03:41 crawl under and which means that now as 03:43 enemies are looking for you can crawl 03:45 under things and hide and it's just one 03:47 more way to assess your environment and 03:49 use it to Ellie's advantage now because 03:52 you can hide under the things we gave 03:53 the enemies we made them smarter and 03:55 gave them ability to look under things 03:56 so while you might hide somewhere and be 03:58 safe for a while eventually they're 04:00 gonna start looking under stuff and if 04:01 you're hiding in their truck and they 04:02 spot you they're gonna yank you out and 04:04 then try to kill you 04:09 [Music] 04:17 dodging is a big one because now with 04:20 dodge anytime you're in a you're in a 04:23 scuffle you have a chance to get away 04:27 you have a chance to counter-attack it 04:30 let's escape be an option as well 04:32 sometimes you just got to run and that 04:35 is another part of this world which is 04:37 sometimes the threat is so overpowering 04:39 that you just have to get away when you 04:42 are partially hidden or you'd like your 04:44 ingress that means people from afar can 04:47 see but few of them closer can kind of 04:49 see you they will eventually acquire 04:51 you're not completely hidden when you're 04:53 ingress and it makes you as a player 04:57 become much more aware of your 04:59 surroundings jump prone dodge you know 05:02 all these things feed into both 05:03 exploration and combat because it lets 05:08 us expand the space if the size of 05:10 spaces can be bigger the intricacy of 05:12 spaces can be more complex and it still 05:15 works exactly as you would expect so 05:17 when it came to our level design we 05:19 really wanted to challenge ourselves to 05:21 make a world that really felt like a 05:24 real space as much as we possibly could 05:26 and didn't feel like a series of combat 05:30 encounters and exploration spaces and 05:32 combat encounters that felt like a Hall 05:34 of Horrors or something but something 05:36 that really felt like a space that you 05:38 could explore that seemed like a 05:39 legitimate urban environment and that 05:42 pushed us to make our level design even 05:46 more open than it was in the first game 05:48 which for us at the time was was pretty 05:50 open in this game we've gone so far in 05:53 making the level design open that there 05:57 are actually entire story moments entire 06:01 combat encounters like full scripted 06:03 sequences that you may completely miss 06:05 and there are things that we feel like 06:07 even though the portion of our player 06:10 base may never see these things the fact 06:12 that when you do encounter them you feel 06:14 like you discovered them it lends them 06:17 this charm and this magic that I think 06:19 is unique to games that you know this 06:21 this happened to me because of what I 06:23 did and what the place I explored to 06:28 the crafting is very much about a payoff 06:31 to exploration meaning that when you 06:34 enter new spaces you want to look around 06:36 for supplies you want to open drawers 06:37 and cabinets and look for different 06:42 things that will allow you to craft 06:44 either items that can help you heal 06:47 items that can help you attack multiple 06:49 enemies at once such as the Molotov or 06:52 the landmine that Ally can craft items 06:56 that can help augment your weapons like 06:57 a silencer for her pistol or craft new 07:02 kinds of ammo it also gives us tons of 07:05 interesting gameplay choices and 07:07 overlaps that you can do at any moment 07:09 and on the fly we try to be a game that 07:12 wants you to make a lot of different 07:14 decisions in combat as possible and the 07:17 way that we've expanded the recipe 07:19 roster and all of the recipes and how 07:22 they interact with each other is 07:23 carefully chosen for the different 07:26 ingredients and making sure that you 07:27 always have these interesting decisions 07:29 to make put a much stronger emphasis on 07:32 the importance of the choices you make 07:35 in the long term for your character 07:39 you'll be useful through the weapon 07:41 upgrade system to the player upgrade 07:43 system there aren't enough resources and 07:46 a single playthrough to fully upgrade 07:47 your character the choices that you make 07:51 you're gonna have to live with and we 07:53 wanted to make sure that all of the 07:55 choices that you made had a really 07:57 noticeable and tangible effect on the 08:00 way that you play 08:02 [Music] 08:07 you feel a greater kinship with Ellie 08:11 because you are living with decisions 08:13 that you've already made like you you 08:15 are continuing this true line of her 08:18 journey through this world and the 08:20 moment-to-moment gameplay is influenced 08:23 by that in a way that we haven't before 08:25 the realization that your choices have 08:28 these long-term consequences is very 08:30 much like the nature of the narrative of 08:32 the game and I'm happy that the 08:36 mechanics are supporting that 08:38 [Music]- advertisement spot 2020
