Video: How Naughty Dog designed The Last Of Us’ brutal melee system

<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgamedev.win/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/video-how-naughty-dog-designed-the-last-of-us-brutal-melee-system.jpg" width="200" height="200" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>Three years ago, Naughty Dog’s Anthony Newman took to the stage at GDC 2014 to deconstruct a complicated topic: the melee system at play in the studio’s 2013 game <em>The Last Of Us</em>.</p>
<p>It was interesting because Newman’s talk addressed both the deisgn of the system (discussing solutions to the challenges of creating an effective hybrid between gunplay and melee combat, and how those mechanics emphasized the tone and world) and the practical implementation of said system.</p>
<p>He delved into the technical details of how the <em>Last Of Us </em>team synced animations, handle memory management, and practiced efficient scripting practices. It was a neat talk that also touched on how the studio’s production process changed between <em>Uncharted </em>and <em>The Last Of Us</em>, as well as examining techniques the team used to achieve the game’s brutal aesthetic.</p>
<p>If that sounds like something you’d like to watch but you missed it in 2013, no worries — now you can <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2W8MtrlBbYc">watch</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1cnbIz4csA"> it for free on the official GDC YouTube channel</a>!</p>
