As someone who thinks the Uncharted series was probably the most overrated series this generation, it saddens me to see TLoU lumped in with it all over the place now. (As much as it enraged me to see BioShock Infinite called a "corridor shooter" in the vein of Halo/CoD as if Halo and CoD are somehow even remotely related in their approach to the genre) I guess it shouldn't be surprising; I was doing the exact same thing before playing the game.
All that said, I still think the Last of Us succeeded in spite of its cinematic elements, so just hearing that the Order is pursuing this route is disappointing to me. I have faith that this studio can deliver a decent game and I've seen that a cinematic game is still capable of being a great game despite taking the wrong approach, so I'll give it a shot. I do have to wonder why every seemingly every major AAA title, regardless of genre, pursues a cinematic feel when we've seen just how easy it is for the indies, who aren't concerned with that approach at all, to deliver amazing games that surpass the biggest devs' efforts on a fraction of their budgets. One of these days, I hope the balance will shift and AAA budgets will pursue more "gamey" games (for lack of a better adjective) over cinematic ones.
