During the first couple minutes of this crazy footage, all I could think about was how frustrating playing as Nathan Drake usually is, i.e., that the guy playing the shootout couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Of course, when your core gameplay is suboptimal to control and poorly balanced, the natural thing to do is add whole-new mechanics like driving a truck through a hilly village. I shudder to think of the probable instantaneous mission-failures when hitting a pedestrian, or when not presciently making the correct turn down a blind dirt alley.

But it's all moot anyway. I'm buying and playing this for the Sully-Drake banter. Naughty Dog could replace the gameplay sequences with a bunch of God of War quick-time events and I'd still suffer through it.
