Now that the real footage of The Last Of Us has come out out there is something you should pay attention to. The lighting in particular is suspect.
In the original announcement trailer from last year at the VGAs you will notice that they are using realtime Global Illumination and GodRays. (assuming this was "realtime". They carefully worded their trailer as "captured from PS3")

The following is what you will see in the trailer:
Look at the godrays in the following pics, and the light bouncing off the floor and illuminating everything
Such beautiful godrays comming in from the window
look at the global illumination light bouncing off of Ellie's hand and illuminating the knife
Look at Joel and his attacker's illuminated bodies
And again.
Its important to note that this hallway is the SAME area in the game as in the E3 demo below
Godrays again
Yet compare it to the new footage thats come out and you get:
A mixture comprised of (mostly) prebaked, with some dynamic lightsources but NO Global Illumination or godrays.
Wow, we are standing by a window.....where are those beautiful godrays from the pics above? :?
Joel is outside now, but you would think they were indoors with the prebaked lighting. Why isnt everything illuminated? :(
It is important to note that the following screencaps are from the SAME room/area as the original reveal trailer at the VGAs
We all remember the infamous Uncharted 3 trailer ND sent to IGN that was apparently running at 60fps, and ND/ damage controlled it saying it was "a mistake" (read, they sent out dev kit footage and got caught).

Oh well. Its not even coming out this year anyways, and heres to hoping it gets delayed because a PS4 version is in the works, wit DAT global illumination/godrays.
Anyways
Inb4 personal attacks on me by cows
Inb4 I am a "lemming" (Just like Stevo, every other person who isnt a sony drone, along with Eurogamer, Edge magazine, and Tom Mcshea)
Inb4 I am not only a "lemming" but a "scared" lemming (im buying this game but wutever)
Cows, please do what you do best :cool:
