Yes.

Ya, I think the first gameplay demo was the same place in the game as the 15 minute demo. But it showed Joel run out of ammo, get pinned by one of the guys, and she came around the corner with a brick and smashed the guy. And sometime around there she also stabbed someone in the back with a small knife. I think the first one also stopped before the elevator scene.

Edit:
That might actually show some of her AI. She didn't attack with the brick because Joel never ran out of ammo and got in trouble. Joel also picked up the brick they passed and used it earlier. I can't remember if the first demo had that or not.

The lighting in this game is amazing. PS3 is really going out with a bang this year.

While true, I agree that zombies are getting a bit played out.

My heart died a little playing SpoilerBioshock Infinite during the "fight the ghost while she raises zombies" scene.

Ya, that scene played by really fast for me. Probably cause I had spent about 45 minutes just prior to it exploring every route and picking up every item, upgrade, gear, etc. before continuing the story. Once I continued the story it was over before I had realized it. I couldn't find out how to Spoileropen that gate right next to her tomb to get the gear out of it though... spent a few running around the building trying to find a lever or something, and went back after I beat here thinking it may unlock, but no. I haven't 100% that game, I played one play through for about 14 hours and now just am waiting for some DLC before touching it again.

I've been worried it was going to have them for a long time now, which is partly why I've actively avoided news about the game.

Not thrilled. I'm definitely zombied-out.

I had really hoped The Last of Us would be a post-apocalyptic tale that was ultimately just about humans and human nature, with all its highs and its horrible, depraved lows.

Mind-controlled undead/people just aren't interesting antagonists to me. I honestly wasn't interested in Zombie stories before this fad, and I'm way less interested in them now. It's not that I don't see something interesting in the story - the concept of a desperate fight for survival against an enemy so pervasive (and the emotional backfire associated with seeing your loved ones turn) is well and good - but I just prefer stories more human.

The depravities of humanity, particularly in a post-apocalyptic setting, should more than suffice. And man dooming itself is just a better story than some unknown contagion turning us all to undead.

Interestingly, it would probably be more unusual and impactful to me to have a young boy following along. It's cliche to have the young girl pushed into having to kill monster or zombies or aliens or whatever and turn super resourceful, etc. After years of "kick ***" school girls, I think I'd be more affected to see an eleven year old boy have to shoot someone.

That's good, I hope the final experience does not rely on them much at all. I'd be happier if they didn't exist at all, but you can't have everything.

Honestly, unless we're going to deal with the fallout from zombie purists and accept draugr as sufficient zombie material, I'm going to have to assume it was... FFX. Zombie fiends in Bevelle Dome.

I own some game with zombies, but I'm so meh about them right now I haven't played them. I WILL play The Walking Dead game at some point, because I know it's really about the cast first and foremost. But it's hard to get over that hump...

Wow, really? I had heard such good things about diverging plot trees and such. :/

Hm, okay then. I'm fine with that, it's just not how I had heard the game described in general.
