There's nothing wonky about those animations, they're smooth and natural, like everything's procedurally happening as a result of the gravity and inertia in play on the vehicle or as a result of the weight of the objects in the game.

Maybe it's because usually animations in a lot of other games aren't this natural and realistic. Not surprising since ND are awesome in that area.

This is a true 8th gen title, best looking visuals I've seen on a current gen console too date and considering it's also doing everything like having massive open areas, with awesome set pieces, this is looking to be a true masterpiece of a game.

The thing that really got me was how Nate and co interact with each other, the chatter is spot on between them. A truly immersive experience and it looks like so much fun to play too.

Looks great, my only real critique is the mud doesn't wash off the tires when he enters the river w/ the vehicle :) Other than that looks beautiful, can't wait to play.

Looks great, defintitely going to play this at some time in my life.

You did this on purpose, fella.

Packed on mud doesn't come off that easily. I would sooner say how do his clothes not get dirty! Stuff should be flying around everywhere driving like that :)

Wow! Naughty Dog really, really outdone themselves with this game. Really looks beautiful. Makes me think on what else could be possible on the PS4.

Well I was not expecting that. The scale is even bigger than I thought it would be, since previous games were so linear. The map size easily tops Rise of The Tomb Raider.

Not sure I agree with that, I've driven through several streams and even a river, and mud rarely sticks that long especially when traversing rocks (the shifting of the rubber tread while being pressed against rocks + water, loosens it all).  Whether on a 4-wheeler, or in a truck, the mud always washes away.  Keep in mind, he didn't just run through the water, he drove up the stream/river for a decent distance.  Also, it's not like I'm not getting the game because of it or anything, it was just a minor nitpick from someone who's done his fair share of off-roading :)

It doesn't spoil anything really. Just shows off some gameplay.

We can agree to disagree. Some of them are great, some of them just look bad to me. Especially transitions from climbing to standing, or dropping to standing. Nothing smooth about some of them at all. Since you mentioned it, the gravity and inertia in play with the vehicle is off too. The gas can sways the wrong direction at times, and if its free to sling back and forth when the 4x4 rocks one way or the other, it should fly out at times when the 4x4 takes sudden drops. The characters inside the 4x4 also only seem to be affected by lateral physics. 

Just small nitpicking though. As I said, the video is fantastic.

Also I updated the OP, the video has been made private.

Thank you, was unsure if I should watch it because of spoilers =)
