The Last of Us Part 2: hands-on with Naughty Dog's stunning farewell to PS4

The last big hurrah of the PlayStation 3 era, The Last of Us launched on June 14th, 2013 - five months before the arriv…

Speculating on how it can be showcased on PS5, potentially

Conceivably, titles like TLOU2 and Ghost of Tsushima could allow Sony to make a dramatic statement on its own rendition of Microsoft's 'smart delivery' - buy the game now and enjoy it on PS4, then transition across to PlayStation 5 where the developer could deploy the system's horsepower to deliver a raft of advancements. Perhaps The Last of Us Remastered hints at some of the possibilities there - 60 frames per second and/or higher resolution, for example.

John ( D dark10x ) and Rich give us his hands on impressions playing the game on PS4 Pro

- Review build is still 1440p at 30fps, but ND's temporal AA solution is phenomenal
- "Image quality is still very very good, but not perfect"
- Clear evolution of ND's technology this generation, starting from UC4, to LL, now this
- ND has focused a ton of effort on fidelity, the nitty gritty details, the quality of materials, ambient shadows, indirect lighting, the way grass moves and blows as you move through it, etc
- Impressed with use of screen space reflections combo'd with carefully places cube maps
- Fluidity of movement is "just remarkable," references little things like there are numerous animations for how Ellie can fall off a ledge depending on her positioning and speed, etc
- Companion AI and companion usefulness much improved this time around
- World/areas/maps are definitely more open
- "Kinda the best looking game they have made, but in a different way"
- Finish by speculating which directions they could go with PS5 patch/BC

Sounds great so far. Reminds me of the Uncharted 3 to 4 transition.

 

[Degree]

1440p at 30fps? Really? What a coincidence

Yeah. Unfortunately they could only talk about a specific segment of the game in this preview, have to wait a couple more weeks for full technical breakdown

 

[Shmunter]

Thanks, now I have to stay up and watch it instead of hitting the sack.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Sounds great!

Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy runs at 1440p at 30 on PS4 PRO.

That’s some really nice TAA

I wish every game had the same solution. A lot of games that use TAA just add excessive blur and I have to use nvidia sharpening on PC to cut through it

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Not too long now for those anticipating this to get their hands on it. Visually looks stunning, gameplay and game mechanics should be pretty sound. Just hoping the story isn't the bleak subversion of expectations the leaks suggested.

I know it's a zombie apocalypse and all, but you can still have some optimism/hope in there. Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead were great at this IMHO.

But every apocalypse is different in the world of "TLOU" there is not much hope, even there is proper "cure" it wont do any good since 20 years has passed after outbreak and at that point virus already succeed destroying the society as we know.

And there is apocalypse in Nier Gestalt. which gives you false hope. You think you are saving humanity but in the end you find out you actually destroying it and no matter what ending you choose it wont end well for humans.

Definitely.

Once I installed the 4k texture pack and added a nice little sharpening filter to FF15 it looked gorgeous though. If only consoles had this luxury (or just all games had better TAA)

 

[orosballs]

Wonder if the game has supersampling for 1080p displays...

 

[scalman]

so that supersampled on 1080p will look even more amazing , cant wait. my Pro HDD is not ready for this but i will delete someting along the way

 

[Hayabusabruh]

T and A ? Surprise Neil allowed it

 

[Woggleman]

I hope it has good HDR. The first one did and that was a port so I imagine this one will.

 

[Blond]

I'm really disappointing there's no 60 FPS option, that made TLOU 2 feel so much more "gamey" as a result compared to PS3 and I had a blast with it! I BARELY cared about the story and I still don't know if I care about the 2nds, but it's the closets thing we have to a stealth game in 4 years.

 

[Grinchy]

I think Jon kinda nailed it early into the video when he said that at first glance, it almost doesn't really seem all that impressive but it's more about the combination of a lot of little touches.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Gonna need the PS5 version (either patched, or a separate port/"remaster") for that

 

[Tripolygon]

Wait for the inevitable PS5 upgrade or play on PS4 Pro?

I can't wait that long. I'll play through on Pro then dust it off when PS5 comes out

 

[GaviotaGrande]

My guess is that PS5 version will offer 4k 30FPS / 2K 60 FPS mode. Ray tracing would elevate presentation of this game to the next, next level. I doubt NG will do it, but I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Tripolygon]

I can't wait that long. I'll play through on Pro then dust it off when PS5 comes out

I have more patience. It'll be tough not to give in but to experience it for the first time on PS5 at 4K 60fps like I did the first one on PS4 is just worth the wait.

hopefully it gets 4k/60 option on PS5. That’d be awesome

1440p at 30fps? Really? What a coincidence

With a AAA game like this on current console hardware, what do you expect?

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

Naughty Dog, the team does absolute nuts with the way their games look and feel. Naughty Dog is an emotion, their games are pure emotion. Can't wait June 19th!

What emotion? Ecstasy? PURE BLISS?

Can't wait to get my hands on this
