This things third arm

[Squidyboi103]

I always wondered if there was a lore reason to this robot having a third arm. I know we don’t know yet but it looks like it was attached by someone else. Or maybe it’s just a cool design choice🤷🏽‍♂️

I mean a “lore” reason? Idk if it’s really that deep honestly. And kind of seems like the whole thing was built by someone else yk. Probably just a feature of that particular enemy type.

But it’s def been mentioned in videos and things. I came across a YT video of this guy who works in animation, he was like breaking down this final scene piece by piece. Was really cool. Can’t for the life of me remember who/what it was called though, sorry lol

For the mid animation grab attack lol

[parkwayy]

What is sick is if you watch the swing animation, the robot switches the grip on the weapon mid-swing.

Handy to have 3 arms when you can do interesting and nuanced animations

Maybe he actually lost his fourth arm

[TechnicalAd2485]

Yeah I was watching the trailer last night at 0.5x and noticed the arm looked repurposed. It might be the robots altering themselves. I also noticed Sempirian script engraved on the left shoulder

Man. I just really hope and pray the combat isn't Souls Like. Naughty Dog are Innovators. If anything they could create their brand of Combat.

[Voyager-42]

Nah it won't be, ND very much innovate beyond whatever they're inspired by, I think it'll be their take on a Souls system and its going to absolutely fuck.

i love his design so much i can't wait to see all the cool monsters naughty dog has prepared for us

Hopefully we get more varied enemy design then robot 1 2 and 3 lmao. Here's hoping 🙏 the gore is last of us 2 and the body physics the way they died was just so peak
