The trailer is not prerendered.

The trailer is definitely not pre-rendered, it says so in huge letters before the trailer even begins, and this is NDI we're talking about here.

They specifically adress that trailer in the eurogamer article, gives me much higher hopes for this game. (I played DI for 10 minutes and never opened it again).
And that said, this game might actually make me consider getting a PS3, wowzerz..

In the case of cordyceps it makes the creature climb up as far as it can, where it will die and the spreading of spores can begin.
Which makes me think of another thing, they are most likely immune, as spores spread really easily.
Regardless, I don't think we should be afraid to call it a zombie game, nor should naughty dog, I consider the road a post-apocalyptic movie even when it's far away from being mad max.
Just say it's a zombie game focused on survival and character, embrace the genre and help make it something better instead of trying to wipe it off.

agree:
I suppose gangster genres , detective genres, western genres, get to exist without being second guessed.
At what point is another Zombie game NOT just an un-original idea but a culturally embedded genre-specific art form?
In which case you could aspire at an early age in bringing advancement to your favorite genre...
with a concentration in as much.
How depressing then it must be to have an industry consider as much "just a hackneyed idea" instead of a valid literary/artistic concentration.
And,
How awesome it must have been to be Akira Kurosawa and be able to play in ( for a majority of his repertoire ): "a samurai genre sandbox", for all your life!
And in the end be celebrated for it.
Considering how many awful zombie variations are out there...
I am also hoping that the zombie high tide has finally passed. But for the above considerations, I always have guilt when I dismiss a genre where some uber-brilliant zombie maestro may have a future citizen kane in the works
( Roseblood ).

exactly! The grand-daddy of all zombie stories is actually about vampires: I am Legend (the book not the 3 horrible movie adaptations)

Why's that dude hitting Drake with a 2x4?
Looks interesting though. Dying to see some gameplay on this.

No way, I thought it looked cozy as hell, even if I suspect it was mooded up for the shoots.
Especially the last desk is pretty much exactly how I like it.

Classic case of:
Marketing: "WE NEED SCREENSHOTS NOAAAAOOWWW!!"
Dev team: "We don't have time, we are trying to make a good game"
Marketing: "then we will take OUR OWN SCREENS!! How hard can it be! Look, this one has a lot of ACTTTIIOOON!!"
(Based on a true story)

the ISO of the camera has to be turned right the way DOWN so that you can see the screens clearly. So the room was probably very bright, but if they didn't change their Shutterspeed/ISO the monitors would have looked like white glows.
And yes Goraaz that was defo Mike (Catstyle) in the video, even though he doesn't want to admit it. lol. Probably the youngest Lead Char artist ever

theirs probably 30 other cars in that area, if you look at most of the Vehicle assets in Uncharted there not very hi-res, i think lowering the res on the vehicles and upping the res on the characters is a good trade off.
