At E3 this week, Naughty Dog introduced what they're calling "Balance of Power AI" in The Last of Us.

"Enemies will react realistically to whatever situation your combat style forces them into," explained Eric Monacelli, community strategist for Naughty Dog. "Playing as Joel, Ellie’s help and whatever weapons you can scavenge are your best shot at progressing in this brutal, violent world."

The Last of Us is set in a post-pandemic United States and follows companions Joel and Ellie. The trailer's events occur during a point in the story when the pair are trying to cross a bridge and leave the city. To do so, they must cut through an area teeming with enemy hunters.
