Naughty Dog and Sony released the first part in a dev diary series about The Last of Us Part II last week. The inaugural episode focused on the sequel?s story, whereas this week?s video centers on gameplay. For the most part, the latest entry covers much of what?s already been shown. There?s a dedicated jump button, combat should be more intense this time around, etc. Naughty Dog also shared a bit more about the sequel?s open levels, which are far wider than the franchise?s first outing. In fact, Part II is so open that many players are bound to incidentally bypass ?full scripted? events.
Near the back half of the ?Inside the Gameplay? episode, Co-Game Director Anthony Newman touches on Part II?s larger levels. According to him, the idea was to make level design even more open than that of The Last of Us.
