The Last of Us PS4 remaster - direct screengrabs *spoilers*
- Thread starter brotkasten
- Start date
OK, this slew me. LOL
I traded in my PS3 game and, after some savings magic, will wind up paying $2 more for the remaster than if I had bought the Left Behind dlc on PS3. Looking forward to a nice, smooth frame rate and cleaner IQ. The PS3 game seemed to grind a bit in certain parts of the game.
Not sure if remaster has an exact definition in the game industry. Some basically expected something similar to Tomb Raider DE while this seems to be more akin to something like the God of war HD collection
Really, it's in between both of those.
Sony being dicks about the price of old software on an outdated platform doesn't justify them putting a premium price on a standard up-port.
Did that new version come out for PC?
OVER 200 GAME OF THE YEAR AWARDS
That gave the game a huge sales tail, why would they lower the price when there's still demand?

"they look the same"
"doesn't look that great"
"looks bad"
"underwhelming"
BRB while I barf.
It looks like exactly what Naughty Dog said it was going to be.

So don't fucking buy it?
If it's just an up-port, according to you, walk your ass to Gamestop and pick it up for PS3.

Just getting this game running on PS4 was most likely harder than what the TR DE people had to do .
No. TR DE is out only on nextgen consoles, and Nixxes mentioned that there are no plans to bring new code to PC.
The post I was replying to was not concerned about how "difficult" something was. He was talking about looks of the game, and in that department, Nixxes and UFG invested lot more effort into crafting brand new effects.
ugh. the game is only a year old. I'm glad to see it retain some value
Yeah i totally get the feeling that Tomb Raider DE has skewed expectations of what people expected.

In all seriousness, ^THIS
If you have a problem with the price and that is ALL that is keeping you from buying this, then wait until the price drops. If it follows trends for other HD re-releases, after a month, the price will be half of what it launched at.

If they can sell their product at a higher price point, then why would they drop it? But yeah, I guess screw Sony for people wanting to give them their money.
I don't get the defenders argument that "it was never more than a port". All of the HD remakes last gen had significant upgrades. Tomb Raider was a big improvement. Halo MCC is a huge value as well. If TLOU were around $30 then it wouldn't be an issue, but this is hardly a bargain at $50...and hopefully doesn't set an acceptable precedent for work going into next gen ports/rereleases.

You can't be serious
We haven't seen Halo 3/4 versions, so you can't compare that.
I think people forget that TLoU has MUCH smaller room for improvement compared to TR or GTA. TLoU was held back by its hardware because of things like textures and res/framerate. While TR and GTAV may have similar issues, they also faced even bigger problems because of the hardware. Realistic hair, SSS, environments details etc. aren't things in TLoU that needed to be added.

Yep, I want more 30fps.

Then wait for it to hit $30 if that's what it's worth to you. My goodness.
It's noobasaur.
Well until recently they were rather silent about what exact changes there'll be, right? I could imagine that's why peoples expectations vary so much.
Are Sony insane?
Are they gonna leave the marketing of this game for some random people who got the game early that will upload their compressed 'share' photos or their low quality Youtube videos?
What the hell are they thinking with their marketing for this title? where is the 60 fps hi quality videos with a comparison to the PS3 version?!
Clowns.

No, ND laid out pretty clearly what the changes were going to be. 1080p/60fps with minor lighting changes (not sure), cutscene models in the game and small improvements here and there. Nothing more.

Eh? I knew about what changes there would be months ago because ND told us.
Lol
What about doubling the frame rate and resolution and adding other enhancements seems like a bad precedent for you?

Go buy the PS3 version, with all of the DLC that comes with the PS4 version, let me know how much it costs (seriously, I have no idea, but I am guessing it's either the same or higher).
The PS3 version in the UK is £25 on Amazon (no DLC) and the PS4 version is £38. Isn't Left Behind DLC something like £12?
People complaining about the price, DON'T buy it if it bothers you so much.
you seem very concerned about setting precedents

Does he do this often?
Indeed. People who didn't play it should watch both of these so they know what you're talking about and have a clear reference for the conversation.

Lots and lots of added additional effects that seem quite a bit more ambitious than this.
It would have been nice if Sony put out even one video like this.

Thread has had the hyperbole as expected. 1080p/60, upgraded textures ad lighting. PS4 version wasn't going to be a high level AAA investment. Not sure why some act as if this was supposed to be Uncharted 4 visually.

But after waiting so long it's a little anti-climatic. I read articles about how the visuals would actually be improved - lighting, textures, shadows, aliasing. It isn't a remaster. It's just... the same game in 1080p60.
Still have pre-ordered the game. Still will play the heck out of it.
Don't be silly, Sony are holding a gun to his head.
They cant call it "HD" because the games are already HD from an HD era. GOW games came out pre-HD thus when they got released on PS3, they had the "HD" on it. The following wont make sense:
The Last of Us: HD Classic/ HD Collection (PS4)
The Last of Us: HD Edition
But the following makes sense:
The Last of Us: Remaster
The Last of Us: Definitive Edition
Remastered is like the "Director's cut" or so.(has dev commentary ffs) Not really but close. Its the same game but increased resolution, improved textures and locked or improved frame rates. (NOTE: GOW HD Collection is exactly what ND is doing for TLoU FFS! Upped res, cleaned textures, locked frame rate I believe!!! So I dont get this complaint.)
Any "new" ports from PC to PS4/XB1 will look hella better because they are coming from the top of the line PC versions. Any "up-res'd" ports from PS3/360 gen to PS4/XB1 will not have the same leap from PC -> PS4/XB1 because they are closed systems and had limits which PC does not really have. For instance, if SSM ported GOW3 to PS4, I wouldnt expect U4 graphics either. It will just be improved textures, 1080P resolution and locked 60FPS. I would not expect a new 4K Kratos model/face or something like that.
I hate to repeat this but keep expectations in check. Its not difficult. I feel some like to imagine something else on purpose to then complain when its not like they were thinking. I may seem defensive but to me, just the fact its getting an up-port with better improvements and the DLC included and cheaper than last year's launch is awesome.

The uc4 trailer was real time. Real time doesn't necessarily mean real time gameplay. Its just small demo of what they want it to look like.
The game looks like a 1080p ps3 game, which is exactly what this is.

It's not a remaster, it's a remaster.

It's often a lot worse than that. You should be thanking the heavens this thread isn't about an Uncharted 2 Remaster.

When he isn't banned, yes.
Your previous post is 12 days ago, so unless you are a fly that is not a long period of time.
I'm trying to decide if you're moving goalposts or if you really are unable to understand why that particular game would hold value. Amazon has it for $30, which when combined with the season pass matches the price of the remaster.
Basing your opinion from compressed to fucking dogshit screengrabs from the PS4's Share feature is pretty ridiculous, but perhaps only slightly less ridiculous than Sony/ND not actually releasing much of their own high quality media.
