16. Abby Reacts To Height
This is a really cool one - you know how Abby is routinely scared of heights during the game?
Do yourself a favour. Next time you're at a ledge, pan the camera down, like you're looking down from Abby's perspective. As Naughty Dog are so awesome at little details, if you're up a height, Abby will react accordingly to the fact that you're looking downward.
The camera will start to wobble a little and narrow inn, Abby may start audibly hyperventilating, and she'll also react with her hands, body language and facial expressions too. It's a completely unnecessary little detail, but it's just a cool little effect Naughty Dog threw in there. Doing the same thing with Ellie will do nothing, as she doesn't have Abby's crippling vertigo.
If you do have a fear of heights, this very accurately depicts how you might feel when you're faced with a height, particularly something like the section when Abby is forced to walk over a crane with the tiniest flippin' walkway in the history of walkways, about two hundred feet above Seattle.
