What a pointless remake. I hope Sony isn't going to push this as their killer app for the 2nd half of this year (if GoW is delayed).

It's not pointless... the point is to bring the entire series to PC.

Lol the PC version isn't even coming out at the same time, all they're saying is that its 'in development'. Congrats on getting to play the waiting game yet again

I'm not mad at this, at all. But I wonder if #1: the gameplay will be updated to feel like Part 2 (which is God status), and #2 if Part 1 designed for next gen will now look a bit better than Part 2.  Seems like the ideal case would be a PS5/PC collectors edition with both games at the same quality level.

 

The Last of Us (1&2) is still the pinacle of AAA gaming imo. It's a lineage with Bioshock and Half Life.

wait, i thought they were remaking the game with it adapted to the HBO series? regardless, they had released an HD remake last gen. pointless af.

I think the idea is that newbies will check out the games because they liked the show. So it would be better if the first game didn't show its age. It's an aggressive move considering the PS4 version is still good, but this HBO show could be phenomenal. The 7/10 Netflix adaptation of The Witcher drove a lot of people to play Witcher 3.

LOL on the stream Neil Druckmann said it was coming on PC "shortly thereafter" which essentially guarantees it will be out to coincide with the HBO series  

 

They're all in on PC LOL TCHBFAR

So its clearly based on TLOU2 engine and assets.

They announced TLOU2 just crossed 10M copies sold after 2 years.  That's obviously good, but as the sequel to such a huge game for Sony, and Naughty Dog... TLOU2 didn't sell as good as they hoped... that much is obvious.  It's clear that many people didn't like the direction they went with the sequel.

i loved it (my 2020 goty), but damn, the "shift" from the first half to the second was so jarring. also, i'll never like abby's character model. still, i've beaten it twice and have platinum'd it. the only 2 other games i've platinum'd are detroit and elden ring. i think 10m is pretty great for a game that had tons of unwanted hate before it had even released.

Its a game that got overshadowed by the PS5 launch.

 

TLOU1 was in a somewhat similar situation, but it received a DLC update and a next-gen remaster the following year (almost 13 months after the initial PS3 release).

 

TLOU2 hasn't received any DLC, and it took almost an entire year just to get the 60fps patch.

sloppy ass patch too. the motion blur seemed off, and there was no 4k option. i would have been fine with 40/30fps, or a checkerboard 4k/60fps, like they did with the first on ps4.

Naughty Dog deserves legit criticism for that, because that should've been an end-of-year 2020 patch. And it should've been a tech demonstration of the PS5 hardware, by showing the game at full 4K.

 

the rumors suggest that this TLOU1 remake was originally given out to a contractor to make the game, but then Naughty Dog themselves had to come in and finish it. And since its meant to coincide with a TV project, the remake probably took top priority.

 

Buts its bullshit, TLOU2 should be in a better state for PS5.

yeah, i'd be down to revisit tlou2 if they give it a proper patch. i ain't paying for some 4k/remake/definitive edition either. the same goes for the tlou "remake"...a remake for a ps3 game that got ps4 enhancements scummy sony.

I had no issues with Abby's character model really...  I mean, I didn't like it... but it's whatever.  There were far greater problems with the game than Abby's body shape.  I think a lot of the word of mouth hate dragged down the games sales pretty hard.  I think it would have sold over 20M if it had been better.

 

It's unfortunate, because there's still a lot of good stuff there.  But yea, 10M isn't anything terrible, but no doubt Sony expected more from their premiere studio and franchise (up to that point)

 

I don't think the hate was unwarranted.  People are allowed to not like things that don't follow what they had in mind or had hoped for the series.  That's actually a sign that people care deeply about something... when things get massive backlashes like that.  ND made a choice and this is the result.

 

 

Anyway, speaking about this remake, it seems like it's just going to be a visual overhaul... I don't believe they mentioned anything about the gameplay systems or anything coming in from TLOU2, did they?  I wonder if it's purely superficial or whether they're going to make some actual changes/improvements to the level design and enemy encounter design to bring it up to TLOU2?

Yea, charging cows $60/70 for this game again is hilarious.  I mean sure a LOT of work goes into making it... but that's just greedy.

 

It's obviously meant to bring the entire series up to the same visual standard to resemble a more cohesive whole.  Druckmann said they wanted new PS5 players and PC players to be able to have the Definitve edition.  Clearly they're thinking of PC players, and people who have no idea what TLOU is who maybe see the TV show and get hooked.. it's about having a new version of the game on more platforms at a higher quality.
