ND sound designers made a "breathing system" in TLoU 2 depending on how panicked, tired or fevered the characters are. For instance, Ellie breathes either through her mouth or nose whether she's running or using stealth
This is ridiculous, now I've seen it all... There's no way this game doesn't win GOTY
>no matches this really reads like a plebbit pasta

Meanwhile the game is buggy and they repeated the same NPCs many times. Autistic details can be cool, but it's obvious they tried too hard with this game and ran out of time.

>For instance, Ellie breathes either through her mouth or nose whether she's running or using stealth I'm not seeing this in the tweet, I'm guessing OP made this up because legitimately no one ever breathes through their mouth unless they're ridiculously unathletic retards
John Rodriguez
Is it noticeable tho? I only noticed she sweats and has heavy breathing after you run for a while
>I'm guessing OP made this up because legitimately no one ever breathes through their mouth unless they're ridiculously unathletic retards People who had their nose broken say hello
imagine the man hours that where wasted in order to decide if they were going to play mouth_breath_X.mp3 or nose_breath_Y.mp3 on any given moment that could have gone on improving the gameplay
The two right pictures should be switched around for the joke to work.
Aaron Bailey
Man, this game is already forgotten. I don't even remember what this TLoU 2 abbreviation stands for.
Charles Sanchez
don't see how that is impressive. There are just different animations and audio tied to what state Ellie is in, stealth or not, standing or crouched etc.
Cooper Edwards
then why is it the only game that has this feature
Jeremiah Thompson
Imagine being Ellie in that scene and having to be all like "damn, Dina, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your tight body and horrific androgynous monster face. I would totally have sex with you, both my character and the real me." when all she really wants to do is fuck another 16 year old in her dressing room. Like seriously imagine having to be Ellie and not only sit in that chair while Dina flaunts her disgusting body in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing her stretchmarks and leathery skin, and just sit there, take after take, hour after hour, while she perfected that dance. Not only having to tolerate her monstrous fucking visage but her haughty attitude as everyone on set tells her she's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, DINA LOOKS LIKE THAT?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch her mannish fucking gremlin face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of blondes and supermodels and later alleged rape victims for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in America. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on her dimpled stomach as she sucks it in to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in her "statuesque (for that is what she calls herself)" beauty, the beauty she worked so hard for with personal trainers in the previous months. And then the director calls for another take, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before the studio security could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Ellie. You're not going to lose your future political career over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.
Useless feature and a waste of time, energy and money >B-but muh realism Fuck realism in videogames.
Jack Lewis
It's no different than a character leaving footprints in sand or snow in other vidya and having different sound effects for those footsteps.
Brayden Sullivan
>Make 2 breathing animations >Make it so animation1 plays when stamina>50%, otherwise play 2 MY MIND IS BLOWN
Jayden Phillips
Yeah. I do and control the rate, fatty.
Chase Ortiz
it's a nice touch but it's essentially just a different set of sounds and animations that change depending on events allready being triggered within the game so it's probably somewhat simple to hook into already coded enemy/enviroment triggers and the players recent speed

Ocarina of Time, a game from 1998, has an almost identical feature. Link’s breathing becomes hard and labored at low HP and he breathes less while walking slowly. I don’t see how this is revolutionary.
Jace Taylor
This and shit like "horses balls retract in cold weather" in RDR 2 is just fucking pointless and a waste of resources
Put that effort into stuff we'll actually notice
Joshua Garcia
It's a shame you have to sit through 20 hours of cutscenes to get to the gameplay.
Isaiah Bailey
they added more context sensitive properties to it
Jacob Butler
Does other games actually need it ? If takes too much budget and times without bringing any benefit , why bother ? It's basically feature creep
Ethan Harris
This really is just the same shit as BotW's ""chemistry engine"".
Adrian Wilson
Impact on gameplay: zero since your character can run forever and never gets exhausted. Just a waste of resources.
because at some point it becomes such a small detail that is not worth spending the processing power on. Like tlou2 could have a blood circulation system for Ellie but it doesn't. Or Ellie's ears could build up earwax throughout the game but it doesn't and even if it did, it's such a small detail that no one notices it until a dev points it out.
Daniel Wood
All it takes to amaze modern journalists is a well placed if/then condition.

>you see here at NaughtyDog we don't use the word "fun", this is 2020 after all and we've long evolved past such antiquated, dare I say reactionary concepts >Instead what we're interested in is exploring the player's relationship to violence, we want you to feel bad about killing, because killing isn't fun, I'm neil druckmann, a very deep jew >YAAAAASSSSSS QUEEN SLOW MO ACTION LIKE IN MY NETFLIX SHOWS STAB THAT BEGGING BITCH IN THE CAROTID SLAAAAYYYY
