What are you talking about interactive cutscenes? Are you talking about when characters are talking and you're still playing the game? (like moving around buildings and climbing around stuff) That's 100% gameplay. As for actual cutscenes they are around 2 hours.


 

Six hours of movie, on which four are non-interactive.


So I was right. You were counting the gameplay and dialogue that characters say in the game to greatly lengthen it. That's by far the longest one on youtube and it even says in the description it has all the dialogue from characters in the game.

I hope this doesn't mean more HD graphics remakes all the time, these games are often just cash grabs. Would much rather see the developers of these HD remakes working on new content for the IP.

Remastering is going to be just as frequent in this gen as it was in the last, there are just more of those remasters this year, because developers don't have their new games ready yet so the remasters are quick ways to put something out to make some money.

You didn't see my edit it seems!

I'm naturally not going to watch this now, but just skipping to some parts of this video at random I find tons of gameplay sequences in there.


Yes, there are like five seconds of Joel running between sequences to add drama to the video!

Editted my post, I meant the 6 hour video.

The comparison is actually pretty valid or do you think that TLOU:R is going to outsell MK8 because of the higher installbase of the PS4? The sales expectations for this remaster are way lower than MK8s.

To act as if it was expected that it would outsell MK8 or that it was expected to sell over 100k first week in the UK (Seriously?) is clearly trying to spin this great success of TLOU:R in the UK.


A comparison like that is never valid. Population imbalanced statistics and trying to claim X or Y, or draw comparisons from said numbers is failing basic statistical methods.

Why is it strange that I expect its first week to sell more than 100k? It sold 69k in 1 day. (Which is when the "week" ended for the numbers reported. MK8 had either two or one day, I don't remember at this point.)

I know, man, I was messing with you. In case you or veritaz haven't noticed, I wasn't the guy who said "TLoU is an interactive movie"

I did, and the same thing happened. The very first part I skipped to was Joel getting cought by the rope and him having to defend himself upside down while Ellie helps cut it down. That's no where close to being 5 seconds of running. You're 100% wrong, cutscenes are around 2 hours. You can see the Youtube videos yourself.

That's definitively interactive cutscene. It's no different than pressing R2 for Jayden to shoot admist the chaos in Heavy Rain. No matter how you want to put it, The Last of Us lacks finese gameplay, like Super Mario 3D World.
