*Spoiler Alert*
Welcome to the first ever Nerds Without Pants spoilercast. We've picked a doozy of a game to cover, too! Julian, Patrick, and special guest JD come together to talk about all things The Last of Us. No stone is unturned, as the Pantsless Ones take you through the entire story.
Drake and company will deceive in more areas and modes with upcoming DLC.
Naughty Dog recently announced a new type of gameplay in multiplayer, entitled Co-Op Shade Survival Mode. Naughty Dog released one screenshot to accompany the announcement of the new mode.
Ahead of beginning work on the upcoming survival game, Naughty Dog strongly considered bringing back Jak & Daxter.
Naughty Dog, as we all now know, has recently divided its studio into two distinct teams, each working on their own individual titles. The split and subsequent augmentation was done to accommodate future growth for the Uncharted developer. The first game taken on by this new team is The Last of Us, which was officially unveiled at last year's VGAs. Ahead of making the decision to start work on this new title, Naughty Dog told Game Informer that they strongly considered bringing back the fan-favorite Jak & Daxter series.
Drake's handheld debut is so much more than a recreation of its console brethren.
Drake is capable of many superhuman acts. He can scale nigh impassable rock faces, he can run, gun, jump and punch – he can do all these things without exuding a single drop of sweat and with a clear conscience to boot, despite all the blood he has shed over the years. But all of this pales in comparison to what Sony is asking of him now. Soon we’ll see what Drake is really made of and if he can move the PlayStation Vita off store shelves and into the pockets of gamers.
The Last of Us team has been hard at work for over two years.
Usually when a studio decides to reveal a new game you only get a short snippet, not the full length trailer that Naughty Dog revealed at this year’s Spike TV Video Game Awards for their upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive title, The Last of Us. This reveal was especially surprising since Naughty Dog has traditionally been a ‘one game at a time’ studio with a singular creative team.
Nathan Drake can retire at any point now.
Uncharted 3 has had impressive sales numbers since its release and we now have some details about the numbers the series has sold as a whole. The Uncharted franchise, since its start in 2007, has shipped over 13 million copies worldwide. This makes the series one of the most popular new IPs of the console generation.
Players' complaints have been addressed.
Since Uncharted 3's release last month, players have complained that the game's aiming doesn't feel quite right. Naughty Dog, the developer of the series, has now addressed those complaints and released a patch with an option to adjust the settings in the single player mode.
The new DLC is called Flashback Map Packs.
Sony is bring new content to Uncharted 3. First is the Flashback Map Pack #1 which will add new but familiar maps to the game's multiplayer. Also available is a Capture Trooper skin and ISA and Helghast headgear, inspired by another Sony franchise, Killzone.
Jak & Daxter HD Collection was first seen on a South African retailer's site. At the time, it didn't seem like a valid source but now more evidence has surfaced. It appears that the Jak & Daxter Trilogy is real, and will be coming to the PlayStation 3.
