It was definitely intense, but appropriate for the setting. You mention The Walking Dead and there was definitely plenty of backlash for that scene as well, with several sources thinking they went too far and it was in bad taste.

Anyway, I was fine with it in the trailer, but wouldn't want TLOU to turn into torture and gore porn. I doubt that's the last we'll see of it in the game, though. The sequel's theme is supposed to be 'Hate' and will probably focus more on the brutality of the world and be more brazen about it than the first game's more discrete references.

Looking at the wounds in the trailer it's possible they've built an advanced damage and dismemberment system for the game, in which case they won't let it go to waste.

So lets just blame it all on the game engine? :P

Guess this is one of those situations where even bad publicity is good publicity.
