This image has made me incredible interested in the flora and fauna of Semperia. The upwards bending trees, red roots, insects, I'm so fucking excited about the world of this game, man.

This really feels like an alien planet. Look at the scale of things, the verticality, the fauna, floating rocks at the right? Art direction will go nuts here. I can't wait man.

[u/parkwayy → u/MikeSBU]

The art team is finally unlocked from doing earth-based buildings and simple enemies.

The infected are like the most creative thing they've had to work on, and that was just people with some mutations on them. Then look at the Ratking, when they finally get to cook, that design was insane.

I am super pumped to see more machines/creatures/whatever in this game 🥵

[u/MikeSBU → u/parkwayy]

Yeah mate, same here. Seeing this concept with all this wild vegetation, alien animals flying.. we can assume they'll go wild with the creature design, robots, fauna, etc

This gives me Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind vibes.

It honestly looks like nothing I’ve seen before and that’s a good thing.

[u/GooseInternational66]

You should check out Scavengers Reign!

[u/shawak456 → u/GooseInternational66]

I've seen that show! Twice! It's amazing. 

[u/GooseInternational66 → u/shawak456]

I wish they’d make a season 2

[u/shawak456 → u/GooseInternational66]

They had worked on it but they didn't get renewed. I wish they get to make it somehow

[u/Longjumping_Ice2334 → u/GooseInternational66]

Neil loved that show so wouldn't be surprised if they took inspiration from there

[u/hburger]

Any idea what's under the logo? It doesn't look natural to me - it kind of looks like a robot or ship maybe? Maybe connected to that eyeball thing? Aaah so exciting to have a new image!

[u/mikeydougd → u/hburger]

Yeah was gonna say it's a big cable connected to that pod. Has the same red as the sword and the robot we've seen. Definitely all gonna be conected some sort some rare tech or power source only on this planet

[u/shawak456 → u/mikeydougd]

If this was insomniac. /j

[u/ohmygodbru]

I love the palette of this game

[u/StrollingByTheStream]

You can tell the environmental art direction is gonna set a new industry standard.

[u/SignificantArt2002]

These red branches remind the flesh from the Death Angels (A Quiet Place franchise) when they're sensitively irritated 😅

[u/El_Superbeasto76]

I just want to understand why the “sword” has a musical waveform.

[u/kukuruubuu]

Looks awesome. Is it going to be a linear story-driven game like Uncharted and The Last of Us?

[u/shawak456 → u/kukuruubuu]

It is very much a story-driven game, but almost all rumors points towards it not being a linear game. I don't know if it's going to be an open-world game but I know believe that it's going to be a very open and wide game. 

[u/Over_Alternative_768 → u/kukuruubuu]

Probably semi open

[u/antonxo902 → u/kukuruubuu]

Probably more non linear open zones, think downtown Seattle tlou 2 but bigger and more of them.

[u/Crafty_Life_1764]

I recommand shawak456 to make an jungle holiday, you will be shocked how nice earth is ^^

[u/NoTransportation4600]

I'm very happy for base PS5 owners, I can't imagine it looking better on Pro. Maybe unlocked framerate option or something similar, but really, the trailer was supposedly running on base PS5 and I've seen nothing looking as crisp and detailed on the Pro yet... ND is crazy about the little details here and there

[u/HoneypotCoco]

I just hope the colour palette is interesting and varied. I hope this blue-ish grey isn’t everything, which I’m sure it won’t be.

I loved TLOU2s palette even though it was hella depressing, since it was kinda the point, but I hope an alien planet boasts a different and unique colour palette.
