The Last of Us Remastered has gone gold!

You get an exceptional $40 product, plus the exceptional $15 DLC, all with enhanced graphics, and people are wondering if it's really worth $50?
 
I'd be excited about this if I hadn't already played the game a long time ago. Or if the new version looked significantly better than the old version (it doesn't).

Because TLOU was one of the most incredible achievements in history of gaming?

I remember Polygon giving a 7.5 ..this gif was all over the place

Never played it but the impressions always leave me worried.

Whenever I ask how the game was people always respond by saying it has a great story, characters and cinematics.

It's rare anyone ever says anything about the actual gameplay or world design and that's what I value the most.

For me you should be able to take out the story, characters (have them as plain models) and cinematics and still have a great gaming experience at the core. My impression is that I wouldn't have that with The Last of Us.

Wrong impression. Play it and see for yourself :)
One thing anyway: story and characters relationship are part of the gameplay, you can't just take them out. Hopefully I will not read complaints about the slow pacing in some parts.

I'm going to echo everyone and ask, why the heck is there still no gameplay trailer?

Because they just have to show the improvements and not the mechanics that we already know. Now that they're going gold and everything is done, they'll release something just before the release.

I think the main reason people feel like it's not worth the price is because of how recently the original came out. Had they sat on this for another year I doubt there would be nearly as many complaints.

Whats up with this hostility? Just calm the fuck down. I bought the game for 60$ when it was released, i need to see a footage to spend the money again if its worth it. Is it too much to ask? Jesus man.

You concern troll many PS4 threads. It's not hostility to point it out home skillet.
 
Close to gold. Still surprised they haven't release anything else leading up. Are they trying to push this through on name recognition alone? It can do it, but it might not grab people who already played it on PS3 as there really is no meaningful comparison between the two right now.

You guys need to calm down The games doesn't suddenly disappear off shelves after release. If you need to see comparison. The day after release I am sure there will be more comparisons than anyone can handle. Jebus people have some patience.

Hey I heard this was going to be 60FPS is that true

Is this just the exact same game but with a resolution and framerate boost

You mean to tell me it's the same game

I played it already and PS4 owners who haven't shouldn't be given the opportunity to play a better version I am angry

Naughty Dog is just doing this for a cash grab
 
Great. Now release it early because there are zero retail titles out in the UK in the whole of July for either console.

Well, except some poopy Vietnam game.

Same game, but:

- uprezzed from 720p to 1080p
- jump from 30 to 60fps
- better antialiasing
- better models
- better textures
- better world assets where avaiable [those that were made for PS3 cinematics are not integrated into playable PS4 gameworld]
- better lightning/particles/blur/other effects
- added all DLC MP maps and DLC singleplayer expansion "Left Behind"
- faster load times
- $50

Then why don't you just wait until the game releases. sure there will be more comparisons than you could handle then, ND doesn't release their own. You people act like you HAVE to buy it on release day or the game disappears or something.

I know people love to bang that drum, but a game that plays as slowly and deliberately as this will not be appreciably affected by 60fps for most people. Yes, it will be objectively more responsive, but I question whether it will change the amount of skill a player is actually able to express. We're not talking about Street Fighter here.

The ND animations will look fucking glorious at 60 FPS that's for sure.

What this game really needs is some killer partical effects like the loading screen on PS3 had when around the infected or in the high concentrated pore zones. That would impress me more than anything.

I cannot believe how much negative energy I can feel in this thread. This thread is about greatness, folks. Nothing else. Believe in the Naughty Gods and appreciate their mercy or you will never reach their heaven full of 1080p@60fps-super-mega-enhanced-graphics!

Umm...that wasn't really the point of my post. I plan on buying it day one even with out any comparison. My thoughts is that the initial game was pretty well publicized up to and after the release. So far ND and Sony have been pretty silent on info about the remaster. Those who don't follow games like most do on GAF may have heard about it, but there's not much enticing them to buy the game because there are no meaningful comparisons or footage to show why consumers should buy this game for the PS4 (if they are new users) or to even upgrade if they've already played on the PS3.

I think the majority of us are calm...it's more that we find it odd that there hasn't been much of any real comparison footage or PR to speak of outside of the leak, the initial trailer, and the brief nod at E3.

Uh, ok man. Thanks.
 
The tweet literally says that it hasn't gone gold yet but hey, should be a matter of days anyway, I figured it was too soon when I saw the thread title.

No proper trailer or footage? They want people to blindly buy this by showing it won more than 100 awards?. I loved the game and all but this is ridicules. Not cool, not cool.

Blindly?! It's the same game as last year. Looking and performing better.

Lol, how can people customize this gif? I have an idea *lol*

It's been amazing to watch ND riding the 60 FPS train all these weeks. I still think porting TLOU made them decide to target 60 FPS for U4.
 
Did anyone consider that since the game is so close to done, there's probably a VERY small team still working on it as the rest are busy with Uncharted 4 and whatever else ND might be doing.

God forbid their priority be on polishing and testing the game rather than cutting a trailer together.

The programmers would not be cutting the trailer. This would be done by the community arm or by the marketing team that gets a build.

ND bosses said in interview that small core team is making this Remaster. Majority of team is on U4.
