I like that the girl is like "What the fuck man" after he torches that guy. The player here is a bit of an asshole. Strangling that guy and opening fire before the other guys have even done anything. Not to mention executing the guy at the end. Clearly they've made it this actionpacked because it's supposed to show off the combat but I'm sensing a The Road-vibe here, in how the characters are handled. The little girl is supposed to make you think twice before chosing the violent path, because you wanna be an inspiration for her. Hopefully her behaviour will be affected by your playslyle, so how pacifist or psycho she is depends on the example you set.
Kinda wish I had a PS3 now. :(

Probably, but as the road shows the parent will go to any length to protect the kid, these people are pretty much day-z players, all out to get you and eat your daughter like she was a can of beans.
I don't think there's any pacifist playstyle, it's just a big trip of extreme things you'll do to protect your child.

Another one that looks good but we'll have to wait and see.
Hey guys guys does everything have to be a 3rd person action adventure now?

Definitely interested in this one - but more than this I hope that The Last Guardian isn't dead. Perhaps E3 will reveal something about that game's current situation...

Limited inventory (and thankfully no tetris), crafting, no regen health. I'm really liking the looks of this.

The girl whispering "Should we go around them?" at 3:18, and the guy pleading for his life at the end makes me think pacifism will be an option. Probably not for all of the game, but hopefully a good deal of the situations.

Looks scripted to hell tbh :/ Like, one of those "here's the exact path we want you to take" type of a game. Hopefully i am wrong.
Tho, the player is kind of a dick which... I like. When was the last time your protagonist was not likable ? that's Kind of cool and can totally work if they make him interesting. Which, again, has lots of potential with the "nicer" girl sidekick.

Yeah, I wanna see how that scene plays out if the player attempts taking a stealthier tack. The AI responses looked too spot-on to allow for random variation, but if it's dynamic responses to the situation, colour me impressed.

There's plenty of gamed protagonists that I don't find particularly likeable, but unfortunately the game developers seem to think that they're the coolest people ever. Any protagonist that is all about cool quips in between bouts of hyper-violence tend to turn me off. Truly conflicted, flawed protagonists are much more interesting... and rarely done well.

What about Alan Wake? For basically all of the first game he's a self-absorbed unlikeable douchebag (who very rarely gives out quips when he's not bantering with Barry) and sometimes you just wanna punch him. He's a little better in American Nightmare though.
