Well, it definitely looked better, but that trailer was underwhelming.

The Last of Us Remastered (PS4) First trailer up

I doubt they will. They said they tried FXAA with Uncharted 3 and didn't use it because of the blur. I doubt they would use it for TLoU on PS4 if that's the case.
Actually...
Yup, that was one of them. I didn't tear up because I only have half a soul, but I did get a lump in my throat.
the voice actress did an incredible job of conveying pain and fear
You just spoiled more than the video. I simply saw those peaceful giraffes, now I know something about an attack. Thanks for ruining my whole life.
No one knows what it means, but it's provocative.
I disagree, and I say this as someone who, while liking Last of Us, also criticizes major portions of it. This game is a successful mixture of gameplay, storytelling, immersion and even competition. That isn't to say "no other game achieves the same," but simply put, I think it's totally reasonable to say that TLoU represents the current state of the "art" in terms of interactive design. Yes, player progression is almost distractingly linear. Yes, major elements of its storytelling don't even attempt to be interactive. That being said, those shortcomings are the result of a deliberate decision that offer something to the player in other ways.
This game deserves this level of regard, even if it's just to understand ways it "tries" more than "succeeds."

Have you seen the making of documentary on The Last of Us?
They go over what they did to get the scene right and it's really interesting.

Me too, lol. I was like "wtf, is there even any footage in this trailer?" as I was moving the mouse over the timeline. Pretty crappy trailer for several reasons. I love the game, but just saying...

Sounds like you have trouble accepting opinions. Gee who would of thought that a game that has got an unsurmountable amount of praise from critics and players, especially for its emotional story, would invoke such emotions.

Man you don't know the half of it.
At least it didn't spoil the infected giraffes fighting the normal ones.
Wow. No.
I've yet to find a video game that stirs up emotions like that in me and I'm no 'macho' guy that never cries in movies or anything.
We'll have to strongly disagree on that point.
Ah, shit dude.
I suppose you don't want to hear about the neck duel to the death? Brutal.
Why do you even care that people feel that way? A lot of people felt differently about TLOU than you did, get over it, move on. You aren't changing any hearts and minds here.

Well...yeah.
It's less than two months away and it's a remake of a last gen game that's been out for a while.

Why not? It's out soon-ish and everyone has played the game so there's zero to nothing to keep under wraps.

Yep, you pay $60 for a 1 minute and 26 second Youtube announcement trailer. Thats it! Come on man!
Here's the thing though, personal assertions such as "TLOU finally made me feel something" is a bit gushy at best and disingenuous at its worst. Gameplay has made everyone feel emotionally engaged at some point, it might not be sadness or dry depression, but you probably felt something heavily while playing a game before.
Mario 64 made people feel things intensely, due to the revolution in gameplay. Getting a high score in a Tony Hawk games has made someone feel something intensely.

I counted six giraffes, there should be at least 12 since ps4 is 4x more powerful than ps3, 3x4=12, preorder cancelled
At least they didn't show the giraffe bloater mini-boss battle
Shit, I meant to check that out but haven't got around to it. Cheers!
If that didn't do it, I can't imagine anything will. I'm not normally moved by, well, anything on a screen and that opening got me good. Of course, these things are entirely personal.
I really liked that portion of the documentary. You should watch it if you haven't Dave.
Why? The game's existence obviously leaked before ND/SONY were ready. This teaser was probably cobbled together over night just to placate people until the full reveal.

They really should have uploaded a better quality video if they wanted that snippet to be a wow moment. Also spoiling such a great scene was totally unnecessary.

Dear Sony Marketing,
Please stop failing by only posting your PS4 trailers on YouTube. YouTube's low bitrate, low quality streams negate much of the detail and quality that your studio's are putting into their PS4 titles. If you want to showcase how much better TLOU PS4 looks compared to TLOU PS3, you need to release high-bit rate footage (>15Mbits/sec). GG did this for KZ:SF to rave reviews. When we got accidentally leaked B-Roll footage of Infamous:SS that really impressed folks, while the YouTube versions didn't. So please, develop a marketing plan that actually includes releasing high quality footage to the buying public. Thank you.

I thought the game had some quite emotional moments. Not like Nier style brains all over the wall deep depression stuff, but it was a huge step up for ND. Outside of EP2, probably the biggest impact storytelling wise of any major release. As a whole it's storytelling it hugely better than Nier and EP2 of course, but just in terms of impact I mean.
"Fuck discourse, lets never challenge or question assertions." is what I got out of these posts.

Stupid trailer aside, (seriously, what the hell were they thinking?) I see a noticeable improvement over the PS3 version. Looking almost on par with the improvement seen in the visuals to Tomh Raider.
Very happy I got my pre-order in for £37 from Gameseek...

And we thought Ground Zeroes was a bad time vs. money investment.
Only to then be immediately put back into context? A spoiler is anything that has the capacity to take away one's enjoyment of a game -- whether that be the entire game or just a particular chapter.
If you are hyped to play the game for the first time on PS4, skipping that trailer is a good decision.
