And oh some might be spoilerish.
Did you guys know...
... that Joel was first called Ethan in the process of writing the script of TLOU? After a meeting with the other team from Naughty Dog Amy Hennig noticed that Ethan & Ellie sounds like Nathan & Elena, so they changed Ethans name.
... that there are no traditional Boss fights. More like Boss-similar fights.
... that there are no day-night changes.
... that there will be a New+ Game.
... there is no skill tree or leveling in Singleplayer but maybe somewhere else.
... that the cordyceps virus are human exclusive and are not effecting animals in order to keep the wilderness.

- the journey of Joel & Ellie leads towards San Francisco
- the military quarantine is called "The Zone"
- you can interact with doors
- Quicktime Events are going to be in cutscenes
- the opponents are also detecting sounds that do not come from us. So if you for example shut off the radio in a deserted fast food, you could alert enemies nearby the dinner.
- scars, flaws and scratches are realistically represented on the enemy in an a battle.

- you can dodge strokes from enemies in Gameplay and counter with a stroke to the stomach or distribute an uppercut. All this happens not in fast paced Uncharted style moves.
- you can only kill the infected aka clickers if you shoot them with guns or set traps and of course run/hide and seek to get away from them. You can not kill them with your fists, or the knife, bricks, sticks or whatever material in your hands.
- you have to forage for food.
- you can snipe with the Mosin-Nagant.
- first weapons Joel & Ellie start with in the campagne are
the revolver and a flick knife, just like shown in the first trailer
- cutscenes are created by a team who previously worked on Michael Bays movie Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
I can't wait for this game... Keep feeding us more information. Pretty please! |

Like I posted earlier, Quicktime Events are only presented in cutscenes. An actual example from the Game: Some enemie trashes you trough a window. Image gets blurry, Joel is looking for something to serve as a weapon. He sees a shard of glass from the window, a Quicktime Event prompts up and if you press at the right time, Joel would ram it down the enemies throat. This is how Quicktime Event works in TLOU.

Neil Druckmann's Response : "@Neil_Druckmann: @NaughtyGods It's some old info from a GI podcast we did a year ago. Some of the points in that thread are false though (QTE cutscenes???)."
EDIT (My post): I also read somewhere that those "clickers" has two infections. One is from the Cordiceps, a fungal infection. And another one is like a virus or something.
I like some of the gameplay changes this game has (traps, crouching, door interaction etc.). As much as i love Uncharted series, I always wished it has a more intricate mechanics.
Boy do i wonder where will TLOU 2 will happen? Who will be the characters? Maybe across europe? That will be freakin nuts.
All i really need now is MP info. I'm gonna stop reading anything about SP from now on
So there might be leveling up / skill tree system in the MP.
Sounds cool, the more interactive the world the better! I'm note so sure what to think about the clickers, I mean why can't you melee them? Soo, if this informations true that means the Mosin is comfirmed right? 
QTE's in cutscenes may not be so bad, but if it's like AC3 QTE when you fight an animal I'm going to be dissapointed.
On an unrelated note, I'm still dissapointed that the choke hold in the extended demo was the same as the one in the E3 demo gameplay. 
So it takes guns to kill the Infected?! Hmm, that really doesn't make sense I mean they are regular people. If someone gets infected with the virus you can still kill them by breaking their head open with a brick or an axe. It's just the way it goes. Destroy the brain, you destroy the host. As far as the QTE's go, I'm glad they will only be in the cutscenes. I just suck a getting them right. Also, Mosin Nagant?! Meh, I can do without. I'm hoping they are better weapons than that.
Guys, Neil Druckmann, creative director, has largely dismissed this info: "'It's some old info from a GI podcast we did a year ago. Some of the points in that thread are false though (QTE cutscenes???)." https://mobile.twitter.com/Neil_Druckmann/status/2

Not all of it. Only the QTE's in cutscenes. Here is the link to the thread for those who want it. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50348
But he said that most of the Info has come from a GI podcast last year. I remember him talking about new game plus, but I dont think he said anything about how to kill the Infected, or day-night cycle etc. Here's the link: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/podcasts/archive/201

I had already heard the podcast back then and decided to make a little segment on my TLOU YouTube channel. I didn't hear them say how to kill them neither.
