The Last of Us: Remastered HQ Teaser Trailer

Maybe you can help me out here, GAF. Maybe not.

Long story short, I don't like this trailer. I'm probably alone, but I also realize that this is undoubtedly an unpopular opinion here, so we tend to stay quiet, those of us who think this way.

That's not to say I hate it, or that I think it's a bad trailer. Far from it. It's drop-dead gorgeous, of course (I'm a bit of a graphics whore, so that doesn't hurt). The trailer so far (I think I'm about a third of the way through) is interesting with all the awards, if somewhat predictable at this stage.

But I just can't find myself getting engaged by the footage, and I can't quite put my finger on why. Blacks are solid, course, as expected from ND. It's not the typeface, as I can read the hell out of forums like NeoGAF.

Whatever it was, I just found myself unable to get "into" the trailer like I usually can with most trailers. I felt like I was struggling to just let it run, and I kept wondering where this amazing trailer was that everyone kept talking about.

Does it get better? Does it change up later, or is it going to be more of this for another 3 minutes? Because I'm not sure I can slog my way through it if that's the case. People talk about how great the ending is, and I've done a good job of not spoiling it for myself, so I could still experience that if I can just get to it.

Help me, GAF! Help me understand why everyone is pissing themselves over this trailer now being available in 1080p/60. Help me give a shit enough to maybe watch it a second time. Because as it is right now, I couldn't care less about this HQ teaser trailer, and I may not even finish the YouTube edition.

Unacceptable, I excepted 4k resolution, assets done from scratch, all HQ. 100% confirmed 60fps no dibs excusable.

You want all that work to be done then have it ruined by a non-cinematic framerate? 24fps, or bust.

I watch a 60fps cutscene and I feel like I'm visual fast-forwarding on my Super VHS player.

This is a good come back after yesterday. Now it's time to wait and count the victims.

i probably missed it but.. Why was everyone using the end of the shot, with character blurred, to compare the game with a shot of the PS3 version, where the characters were focused, when you can actually compare the models with the beginning of the shot ?

I mean this.

How does it compare to the PS3 model in the same scene ?

I'll take some XMB screenshots, that PS3 shot above looks like shit.
 
Others have already confirmed, but I dragged the .mov into Premiere Pro just for proof, it's 60fps:

The video is yeah. Doesn't tell us anything how the game is running. But I'm sure they will get close to locked.


The weird depth of field when the camera pulls out makes the character models look kinda blurry.

Don't really like the effect.
Me neither. Looks weird.
 
I just can't understand why ND would spoil an awesome moment like that.

It's difficult to say this without propagating the same idea - if people could stop making a huge deal out of a very, very small part of the tutorial where Joel shows Ellie how to use a gun, then we might get through this without ruining the game for new players.

Why didn't ND just go for a locked 24fps/ 1920x800 2:35:1 aspect ratio instead??

Ready at Dawn nicked the black bars from the ICE team, and nobody else knows how to do them.

No guns or weapons on PS4 vs. lots of guns and weapons on PS3. Major downgrade

I love the way this looks, almost hand drawn/painted
 
I'm excited for you folks enjoying it for the first time but i also feel bad for you. Now that the game is at 60 fps it's going to take half as long to complete it. You're really missing out on the full experience that way.

Can someone please post the time that this spoiler moment occurs so I can actually watch this trailer. I'm dying to see how it looks. Thanks
 
PS4 has no guns.

If it's not white text on a black background, then it's from the game, that's about the last 25 seconds of the video. You will gain nothing from watching it really. It's the same the same way movie trailers show you loads of important bits, sometimes even the ending, and until you watch the actual movie they are just meaningless scenes.

It's not a particularly graphically lovely part of the game, when there are so many stunning parts throughout the whole thing.

Doesn't that just mean that the video is 60fps? Doesn't mean the actual game will be.
I mean, I have faith in ND, so i'm not worried about it.

the spoiler moment is the only game footage in the teaser. nothing else is worth watching...the rest is just "GOTY" quotes

ND knows TLoU should be played on survivor, so they had no equipment left. That PS3 Joel is just loaded with equipment.

But the video is of the game?

I just checked a few seconds and it didn't drop a single frame, can't be bothered to do the whole thing though.

It is just one shot of the game and I would consider that shot to spoil a really memorable scene. The rest of the trailer is just a list of GOTY awards

Well obviously, but they probably wouldn't have put out the video in 60fps and said they are targeting that if they didn't intend for the game to be 60fps.
 
This is also relevant:

Not going to happen, Sony now uses Youtube exclusively for their videos.

Nope, they decided last month to only use their Youtube channel from now on for their videos. If you see their videos elsewhere, they are most likely just rips from Youtube.

No HQ Sony videos anymore from Gamersyde or any other site. So we have to make sure to express to ND how awesome this is so they keep doing it for Uncharted 4 as well. Seems like we have to bug all Sony devs individually now for HQ footage...

The better quality footage is great, but the framerate makes a huge difference to the appearance of the game.

LOL. The trailer IS the "spoiler" moment. If you are really sensitive about it, I'd suggest to not watch it at all.
 
i got on it ps3, do we get a discount from sony?

Mark Cerny will send you a picture of him high-fiving, if you send him an email with a photo of yourself, the disc and a newspaper with today's date on.

Don't ask Druckman for a discount though, he's liable to come round your house and shoot you while you sleep.

PS4 model looks updated. The foreground looks updated too. The background looks the same.

It's also not an area the player is able to get to, so not something that really warrants huge upgrades. Hopefully ND has a real comparison video lined up soon showing gameplay areas.
