joel has his own hit detection. if you get shot in the left arm, he would hold his injured arm with his right hand and also loose constantly blood. you definitely have to treat the wound immediately because of the constantly loss of health and the screen would turn red.
in order to stop losing health, you have to get the bullet out of the wound, disinfect it with alcohol or antiseptic and bind the wound. all by holding the r1 button one by one.
- if you get shot in the right arm (joel is right-hander) you have of course make sure to treat the wound like described above with the left arm. but after that, you can't just take out your shotgun immediately and shoot like nothing has happened before. you arm still hurts so if you aim with a heavy weapon like the shotgun or an assault rifle, your crosshair moves all over the place. you don't have 100% control over the aiming.
- resource management is handled very well and balanced judging by the demo.
a normal 2x4/stick can handle 10 punches on enemies before it brakes, as he remembers. in the demo he took the 2x4 attached scissors with a tape and created a club with spikes and now this weapon will only handle 4 punches on enemies before it brakes, but of course is more powerful now. so you always have to ask if it's worth to use up stocks, because they have their own life.
- you only punch with your fists in close combat if you don't have a close combat weapon such as a brick equipped or in your bag. if you press the punch button he will automatically get the close combat weapon out of his bag or back and punch with it
