You're making a lot of presumptions that every gamer values what you value, and that is why your complaining here is pointless.
You calling something bullshit doesn't mean that everyone also agrees it's bullshit. What you consider to be a waste of time, others might see as a worthy investment of their time/money.
You're free to spend your time and money how you want, so I see no point in being resentful of how other gamers decide to spend theirs.

I don't know what the basics of free market economics have to do with cucking, that's pretty random lol.

See above what?

Does the remake have those screen filters where it looks like your screen is dirty or dusty when you'd go into areas with a lot of the fungus?

That sort of thing was popular when the original game released around 2013, but seems to have fallen out of favor, but it added to the atmosphere so it'd be a shame if they left it out.

Yes it does. And in combat too

This should be up for GOTY. Its incredible.

Perf mode is bit soft. Why not use a checkerboard solution or fsr.

Can’t say I’m impressed with the direction Naughty dog is going, but they know how to make money, so good for them.

I think Naughty Dog have said that upscalers & CB rendering doesn’t work well with their TAA.

And given how excellent their TAA is, using normal fixed native resolutions work just fine.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

I caved and bought it, I'm so ashamed of myself.

Spoiler

LOU1 is my favorite single player game of all time

 

[GooseMan69]

I’d rather pay $70 to play The Last of Us with better graphics and AI than pay for some shitty new game I’ll play once and forget about.

Some games are such classics that they deserve to be remastered/remade once every ten years or so. TLOU is definitely one of those games.

 

[BLAUcopter]

Finished this last night. Finished it back in the day on the triple and dabbled in the remaster but wow, what a masterpiece of a game. The immersion is second to none and the combat is so visceral and brutal. Plus that soundtrack!

Need to go through and mop up any collectables and missed conversations to get the platinum.

 

[93xfan]

Just watched the DF video and must say I’m very impressed.

 

[kyliethicc]

I fucking love The Last of Us. Part 1 and Part 2, and Left Behind.

What a fucking game man.

 

[GhostOfTsu]

This must be the most gut-wrenching game ever. So many intense scenes. 10/10 Masterpiece.

I'm glad they didn't use the garbage fake flashbacks from TLOU2 with Abby The way people vilified Joel to this day because of them. Playing the remake made me appreciate his character even more. His decisions were 100% justified. He promised Ellie he wouldn't leave without her (after the giraffes) and that's exactly what he did.

Now it's time for Left Behind

Yeah the spore effect is still in, but you can disable the annoying film grain if you want.

 

[Toots]

You guys are really trying to explain to people who are enjoying playing the game why they should not be enjoying playing the game?

That monkey is talking about you.

You sound like a new Star Wars fan telling an old Star Wars fan that there’s no problem liking the new trilogy. I guess you’re both right in a way. Don’t call other stupid tho your stance is no better than theirs…

I'm not telling others what they should like/not like at all so not sure what you are reading.

[Con-Z-epT]

Finished the main game. 100% completion. Guess i will do Left Behind after i come back from my vacation.

And then a grounded permadeath run.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Kind of hard to discredit the visuals with those screens. Keep up the good work.

 

[PlayofSparta]

I did cry again in the intro.
Joel at that point is about my age, and the thought of losing someone so close is horrible.
Not touching the game today, just want to think about life and tomorrow resume with the game.

I don't had this in years. Fucking masterpiece man.

 

[crunchyBiscuits]

Apart from the visuals, the sound design is so good. I didn't play it with a headset the first time around on PS3 but I'm really appreciating it this time around. Gosh, maybe I'm crazy but sometimes I feel like a hear the gurgle of spit from some of the infected in the game

 

[Heisenberg007]

 

[hemo memo]

After the game get a steep discount 6 months later

 

[Con-Z-epT]

Makes you wonder what a PS5 exclusive Naughty Dog game will look like by the end of the generation.

 

[sncvsrtoip]

Polish material but its about game brutality with examples so kinda self explanatory ;d Btw palying in 4k 40 fps (you feel fps drops but still defenitly better than 30fps) and have to say that its "only" lou2 level but still one of best looking game, to be honest only Forbiden West looks better for me.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Few hours in:

1. TLOU2 plays WAY better (obviously);
2. Remake's graphical fidelity is about on par with TLOU2 (which is okay as it looks super good);
3. Gameplay, puzzles, level and encounter design aged like milk;
4. Story, writing and characters are still GOAT.

Thanks for writing my opinion so I don't have to lol

 

[Con-Z-epT]

 

[Topher]

Finished. Got the Platinum. Loved every minute of it.

 

[kyliethicc]

 

[ChiefDada]

That diner cutscene convinced me that we will reach cgi fidelity often in real time on these consoles. This will be an amazing generation.

 

[Stooky]

Games are getting fewer and far between. It's not careless complaining as you paint it. Developers are spending time on this bullshit instead of making new, fresh experiences. It affects me and everybody else who hates this bullshit practice. Keep cucking I guess. Look at the development time of modern games and know divide that even more with developers wasting time on paint jobs to old games.

Go play indie games that’s where the innovation always has been. But you won’t. Keep complaining why huge AAA studios that make games catered to the masses aren’t being ‘innovative’. It’s like complaining that all pop music sounds the same sounds and ignoring indie artist that creating fresh music experiences.

 

[ikbalCO]

I hope hbo series find a way to tell ish and sewege people's story.

Going through the area, reading notes about what happened is just gut wrenching

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

It works fine but there's a huge loss in detail between the fidelity and performance modes. Why couldn't they get a higher res at 60 on ps5 considering how the graphical improvement over Part 2 us relatively minor?

Same as why Demon’s Souls is 1440p 60. That’s what the PS5 can lock to reliably.

3840 * 2160 * 30 = 248,832,000
2560 * 1440 * 60 = 221,184,000 (89% of 4K30)

Similar pixel fill rates. 4K30 and 1440p60.

The next common resolution above 1440 that offers a noticeable improvement is 1800p.

And 1800p @60 is significantly higher pixels/second than 4K30 and 1440p60.

3200 * 1800 * 60 = 345,600,000 (139% of 4K30)

 

[Chiggs]

Just finished it. Jesus Christ, that ending still packs such a tremendous punch.

Naughty Dog

 

[gow3isben]

The hype on this is 0 looks like lol

Should have made a remake of the first uncharted.

Anyway will buy this soon I really enjoyed the first times I played it it was a top 10 PS3 game for me so I look forward to it.

1800p may have made sense for the unlocked 40fps mode though, with some juice to spare considering the current iteration of the 40fps mode averages about 38fps (per VG Tech although they did not test the unlocked 40fps mode so would have suffered from a fps cap)

3200 * 1800 *40 = 230,400,000 (93% of 4K30), whereas 3840 * 2160 * 38 = 315,187,200

Ah. Here's another one

 

[MasterCornholio]

Ah. Here's another one

The price tag and missing online modes can be a valid criticism for some people.

But overall the base game is still excellent and they did a good job with the visuals. I think once some people experience that some of the hate goes away.

I'm definitely going to pick it up at some point but I want to get a really good TV first for the best experience. Currently looking at an A90J which might be what I'll get but the LGC1 seems like a good choice as well.

I agree regarding missing modes (I for one never cared for Factions). However, due to Factions being it's own standalone game being released, I am not surprised it's missing from the remake.

There's probably more resources and network stuff that has to get implemented and I'd just assume Naughty Dog didn't want waste their time and effort on something like that.

 

[SpearHea.:D]

The man, the legend. Fuckin love his character. Cant wait for the pc version to play this GOAT game again.

 

[Thaedolus]

Damn Joel looks like a psychopath in slow motion lol

That’s kind of the point of these games…and people got their panties all bunched up when what goes around comes around for their surrogate video game daddy.


Edit
I’ve never finished the DLC so I’m gonna jump into that today and the probably replay Part II totally OP in New Game+, it’s what Joel would want.

 

[smart_brazileiro]

Weird. I'm the opposite. I don't see the difference in fidelity but the 30fps frame rate really bothers me and I can't seem to adjust to it. I'm not doubting you as many others have said the exact same thing. Maybe just a matter of different eyes being affected differently.

I take it this is your first console ever? Because otherwise you're just a pretentious cunt.

 

[TonyK]

It's the ND formula. Their 30 fps is not very laggy and motion blur is heavy enough to help!

It says Fidelity (with capped framerate) targets 40fps, and it puts my TV at 120hz. Maybe do they feel smother because in fact they are not 30fps but 40?

 

[Topher]

No, it isn't my first console. Preferring frame rate over fidelity is hardly a controversial thing to say. Not sure what your problem is.

What did u do before? Only play 60fps games and nothing else?
