Haha fail! A 720p video on a 42" 4K monitor?

 

[Roman Empire]

What's with this quality? Are we back to 2008?

 

[GermanZepp]

Looks the same!

It doesn't look 70 uds better though

 

[Saber]

A win against the internet indeed

 

[cormack12]

I've tries the direct insta link but the streamable one is hifi here?

and some people are even commenting here...

I saw it on my phone and it looked fine but can’t believe that video doesn’t go beyond 720p. What are ND social media managers doing out there? ND isn’t doing itself any favours with these reveals.

 

[Fake]

Hey look, another one.

 

[R6Rider]

Looks good.

 

[Bartski]

I'm sure this material will get thoroughly fact-checked

 

[akaFullmetal]

It is a very nice upgrade, but I've played this game a few times over. I'll wait for a sale and enjoy it then.

 

[Slothbeing1209]

it's twitter video...

[mitch1971]

I found the difference. Yellow road paint instead of white. What do I win?

 

[The Cockatrice]

Is the story different? No? Then I'll buy it again when its 10 euros on PC.

Is this the new standard for narrative-heavy game remakes? “Citizen Kane 4K? Did they change the story? No? Then I’ll watch it for free on YouTube! Suck it up Welles!”.

 

[metareferential]

Are we back to 2008?

Just wait until the economy collapse: we're soooo close to 2008.

 

[lovetalkgames]

Change Ellie to Elliot so she properly follows the actor she was clearly based on.

 

[UnsanctionedBuffoonery]

Better quality

For years people have been fine playing or replaying games that have been rereleased/ported/remastered and paying a premium for it.

Spoiler

But because this isn't a Nintendo product somehow it's a problem.

Since the mod deleted my reply for "trolling", let me rephrase my reply. Paying 80 euros for a game I played 4 years ago at 60 FPS just so I can see its graphic settings go from very low to ultra is idiotic.

Looks like a huge upgrade to me…

See, I can’t disagree with that view. Others don’t care though and will pay and jerk off at the shiny graphics.

Myself included.

I spent $85 on dinner last night and that lasted about 60 minutes and I woke up hungry today, what an idiot I am…

 

[Shifty]

Looks good.

[Hugare]

It does look much better

My problem with it is all about the price.

Not $ 70 better, not at all

Not everyone is rich as you, but nice stealth brag. In 10 years, I'm sure you'll agree with paying for patching your games to fix bugs and other issues right? SOunds ridiculous now? 10 years ago, this was also ridiculous.

 

[kikii]

i lied before on other thread that 70€ is too much, had to pre-order it yday

 

[SlimySnake]

Big upgrade over the PS3 version. Roughly on par with TLOU2.

 

[Hunnybun]

It's a bit disingenuous calling the original a PS4 game.

It's a PS3 game that got a minor bump on PS4.

It needs to look significantly better than TLOU2 to be impressive, not the first one. And it doesn't.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Drama

The point wasn’t that I’m rich, which I’m not, but we all justify certain expenses subjectively and constantly bitching and moaning about the cost of this upgrade is obnoxious whenever we have more comparisons to look at. I’d much rather have a thread talking about the comparison than someone’s inability or unwillingness to afford a new product.

I chuckled when I saw that.

[MiguelItUp]

It certainly looks better, and I'm sure no one is surprised by that. But, I still don't feel like it looks THAT much better. Especially with how they've been talking up the whole "building it from the ground up" thing IMO.

If we can't complain then might as well eat dirt no? Imagine a world where we are not allowed to have issues with corporations. You might be ok with it. I'm not. An upgrade should be free for the same game. Hell, I would even consider 10 to 30 euros depending how old the game is. But this? It's scummy.

I don’t think you don’t have a right to complain, I’m just pointing out the complaints are stupid and redundant and tangential to a conversation around the before and after comparison.

 

[MacReady13]

We are expected to pay over $100 here in Australia for a graphical overhaul? Any new areas? New scenarios? Anything new apart from the graphics overhaul and gameplay tweaks?

 

[TheGodfather07]

Who cares how it looks. I'm here to complain about the price for the 75576546765th time.

 

[spawn]

At first it looked like a cash grab to me, but Naughty Dog has convinced me that this is a remake and it's going to look beautiful on PS5 on a 4K set. I'm not sure about $70 though. I think $60 or $50 is a better price if you already played the 1st one. If you have not played the 1st one then this is worth every penny

 

[brian0057]

It's honestly impressive how every shot comparing the two versions of the game make the "remake" look worse than the original.

Hey guys what if we just don’t pay anyone for their work and then everything would be free

 

[p_xavier]

Yeah, pre-order cancelled. Not enough of an upgrade and I usually do upgrade.

 

[legacy24]

will wait until it hits psplus

 

[Sosokrates]

Yep thats TLOU brought up to TLOU2 quality. Not bad.
