Like it did with The Last of Us on the PlayStation 3, Naughty Dog is pushing the PS4 to its limits with The Last of Us Part II. While playing, players are likely to take note of this in the game?s graphical fidelity. However, the animations are bound to stand out just as much, perhaps even more so. If Neil Druckmann?s statement on the work Naughty Dog?s doing proves true, Ellie?s animations alone could be one of ?the best controlling and looking third-person action characters out there.?
Speaking with PlayStation Blog, Druckmann said the PS4?s power allows the team to accomplish far more than what was possible on PS3. While this will be evident with larger environments and infected hordes, advancements in animation may truly win the day. Previously, Co-Director Anthony Newman spoke about ?motion matching,? which ensures character movement looks more fluid, courtesy of the blending of animations frame-by-frame. Druckmann?s statement echo Newman?s, boldly positing that Ellie may be one of the best animated third-person action characters.
