[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Yep, looks like TLOU2. Which is still a very good looking game, so that's fine. But I don't see why this couldn't run on PS4 (at lower resolution etc), so I hope with their next project after this they give us something that looks properly next gen.

Why are we giving them a pass with this? Shouldn't THIS be looking properly next gen? As in its a ps5 exclusive from Naughty Dog. It should look better than LoU2! Should be as impressive as Demons Souls remake. More impressive it should be but it isn't.

Esp with the $70 price. ND is 0 for 2 on next gen right now. UC4 remaster was disappointing too.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

This is the first impressive image I've seen for this

 

[Tripolygon]

It looks so fucking good.

 

[Fbh]

Honestly both sides of this argument are kinda silly.

One side likes to pretend there isn't a big and obvious visual upgrade, which is dumb.

The other side takes any screenshot showing that a $70 remake, of a 15 hours long game, with an entire game mode cut out and launching 2 consoles gens later looks about as good as TLOU2 as some triumphant example that's supposed to negate any criticism or scepticism.

whoa... good graphics. never seen this before. I don't want anyone saying Nintendo rerelease too many games when we already the third version of this game in a decade, add to that the hbo series with the same damn story.

Nintendo would just port over the PS3 version at a slightly higher resolution and charge $60 for it

 

[Woggleman]

It looks good but if they don't even bring the gameplay up to TLOU2 standards then what is the point?

 

[Draugoth]

 

[Fake]

Well either him or Naughty Dog is straight up lying. As ND already confirmed combat enhancement.

I'll take Naughty Dogs word. This guy could be some troll who hates Druckmann.

Well, ND don't confirmed nothing, that was just words.

Is not like if the leaker said the same thing as ND said would be true mind you.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

I'm with you that for those who have already owned the PS3, PS4 versions (I own both), then $70 or 80€ is too much for the Remake. But for those who have never played the game before, and it is such a master piece of gaming, then the $70 PS5 version is the best version to experience this gem on until the PC version is released, so you can't just throw a blanket statement and say that anyone spending their hard-earned money on this remake is a "moron."

It's an example of how greedy Sony has become hat they're not offering a discount to those of us that have already bought Last of Us once or twice. It's also rediculous for people to act like the biggest fans of the series don't really want to get this. "People complaining about price have already played it and are not the target audience derrp"

 

[adamsapple]

so this confirms the leaker was right about the game play then ..

 

[Jormatar]

Not buying the no gameplay or controls improvements said by the leaker just yet. So much false information was spread before TLOU2 release. So I'm gonna wait on that until we know more.

But if this game really turns out have no gameplay improvements from TLOU2 like dodge, I'm definately out for buying this day one. Gameplay improvements were the only thing I was looking forward to.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

so this confirms the leaker was right about the game play then ..

There's no confirmation. Man should have showed some damn gameplay instead of more bloody cutscenes

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

This is what happens when you try to hide your projects until almost release. Things leak and you lose control of everything. This guy is now saying what he wants and watch Sony remaining quiet about it lmao

Exactly the same as the remaster /s

 

[SlimySnake]

One extra image:



There are no gameplay improvements according to leaker:

Wait, so no motion matching animations? no prone mechanics? enhanced melee combat? better AI? etc?

wtf. Is this why they wont show gameplay even though the game has gone gold?

 

[Bartski]

Imma have to call blatant cap on the no gameplay improvements comment, hell even the pre-order shit shows explosive arrows. And even then if there were no new mechanics, the A.I is a more nesserary improvement to gameplay than any player mechanic.

I'm not expecting them to implement full mobility from P2 like prone or jump anyway. Would be cool but that's all game maps redesign from the ground up to make this work.
Dodge and just improved melee perhaps. I really hope for full 3D audio sound only listen mode

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Go prone or go home cuckman

 

[Midn1ght]

It sure is looking good. Been wanting a PC version since it came on PS3 so I'm glad it exists.

No changes on gameplay would be surprising. Will wait more footage to believe that.

 

[Lupin25]

I gotta see gameplay, anyone can repost a couple images. That's just naïve to outright side with leakers. We need video of gameplay.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Eh I'll go in again for it. It's coinciding to the HBO release of the show no doubt. It's more so for newcomers and less about us.

Oh most definitely! I just wish I was hyped about it is all, haha. I think if Factions was included, I'd be a lot more interested TBH. Regardless if gameplay was a huge upgrade or not. If anything I'll wait for a price drop and nab it on PC to mix it up, lol.

 

[MDSLKTR]

The Order artwork vibes

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

The Order artwork vibes

I still remember seeing this image and expecting the game to be like this...the setting for it was amazing tbh

 

[Thirty7ven]

Unlike movies for example, videogames are ripe for remakes. Simply remastering them doesn't make sense when there's so much more you can do.

 

[AJUMP23]

Buying this is like buying Skyrim again.

 

[trikster40]

Dammit that openings going to hit me even harder now that I've got kids.

EDIT: yup, DAMMIT naughty dog!!!

 

[baphomet]

eh, that doesn't look very good.

 

[dugdug]

I have no doubts this will probably be the best looking game of all time and people will look quite foolish come September. Happens time and time again with this franchise and naughty dog

Yep, every time.

This game and studio has given a particular section of the internet full-on brain worms.

 

[SlimySnake]

This is the most impressive shot so far, but man they couldve used some ray traced reflections on those windows. I get that they are supposed to be dusty but at least have some reflections.

 

[Romulus]

Not impressed at all. If you told me it was the ps4 pro version enhanced I'd believe you.

 

[A.Romero]

Such a powerful scene. Totally unexpected the first time I played it.

Don't think I'll pay full price but I'll get it and play it again. Personally don't care this exists, I'll just get it when the price point feels fair to me. Don't understand the controversy when purchasing is optional...

 

[Wooxsvan]

Whoa, forgot how gut wrenching this scene was to watch.

ya first game story is so far ahead of 2nd.

 

[Pedro Motta]

so this confirms the leaker was right about the game play then ..

 

[lovetalkgames]

Ah yes, renowned PS3 game "The Last of Us".

 

[SlimySnake]

This is what happens when you try to hide your projects until almost release. Things leak and you lose control of everything. This guy is now saying what he wants and watch Sony remaining quiet about it lmao

Sony marketing has always been atrocious but this current level of secrecy is simply unnecessary. They hid flying in HFW till the end and it was leaked in a bad quality gif before launch anyway. Did they really think that they would send out 300 copies to random youtubers and none of them would leak it?

Same thing might be happening here. Whats worse is that the game has already gone gold so its not like releasing some gifs from an already completed game would take away resources like it would for a GOW trailer.

Now a fucking leaker is controlling the narrative.

But if this game really turns out have no gameplay improvements from TLOU2 like dodge, I'm definately out for buying this day one. Gameplay improvements were the only thing I was looking forward to.

Saw this on era. Neil went on stage and promised all of this. If the leaker is right then Neil wouldve lost all credibility.

• A total overhaul of the original experience, faithfully reproduced but incorporating modernized gameplay mechanics, improved controls
• Brand new AI confirmed by Neil Druckmann
• Expanded accessibility options
• Improved environmental storytelling
• Enhanced exploration
• Combat will be redone confirmed by Neil Druckmann
• New animations systems confirmed by Neil Druckmann
• Haptic feedback: controller haptic feedback support for every weapon elevates combat encounters, and environments are brought to life through DualSense wireless controller haptic sensations of subtle falling rain, the crunch of stepping on snow and more.
• Adaptive triggers: All The Last of Us including Joel's revolver and Ellie's bow, now deliver dynamic DualSense wireless controller trigger resistance and kickback on firing for deeper combat immersion.
• Everything they learn on Uncharted 4 and Last of Us Part II they applied to the remake

Lets hope the leaker is either lying or the leaker is too early in the game to see any meaningful improvements. If motion matching isnt in, im gonna riot.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

so this confirms the leaker was right about the game play then ..

This also kinda confirms that Sony and Naughty Dog were full of shit when they said it was rebuilt from the ground up and that it would have gameplay improvements from Last of Us 2!

 

[Pedro Motta]

Jesus, this doesn't confirm shit, when the game is out, or previews/reviews are out, then we have confirmation, not some random leaker.

It's looking like there was a lot of bullshit marketing spewed by Sony and Neil druckman and now they're hiding the game behind just showing cutscenes

Why doesn't this shit have Ray Tracing? If you can't get your "marquee" studio making a next gen only remake to have RT, what does that say about Naughty Dog? Or the ps5 ...

 

[Lognor]

That...isn't gameplay. WTF is up with the marketing of this game?

 

[Pedro Motta]

That...isn't gameplay. WTF is up with the marketing of this game?

Marketing? This is a leak!

 

[Lognor]

Marketing? This is a leak!

Okay...so that doesn't negate my point. WHERE is the marketing?

 

[anothertech]

Will wait for PS+

[Pedro Motta]

The PS5 is the console with most Ray-Tracing titles on display.

You don't need Ray-Tracing to make the best and most impressive looking games, see Horizon Forbidden West / Demons Souls remake etc.

Okay...so that doesn't negate my point. WHERE is the marketing?

In the same garbage bin you left your brain.

You talking shit about your own Sony published game? lol clown

 

[ChiefDada]

I mean, the objective here was to make it look as good as TLOU 2.

So it looking like TLOU 2 is what was expected, not a surprise.

Why are we giving them a pass with this? Shouldn't THIS be looking properly next gen? As in its a ps5 exclusive from Naughty Dog. It should look better than LoU2! Should be as impressive as Demons Souls remake. More impressive it should be but it isn't.

Not impressed at all. If you told me it was the ps4 pro version enhanced I'd believe you.

Y'all gotta meet me half way with these nonsense takes. Show me ANY SCENE from TLOU2 that comes close to the lighting fidelity of this 480p video. Lol I'm so confused right now.

 

[Romulus]

Let's do some side by sides then. I'll entertain that. I guess its just hard to really be impressed with the uncanny valley look on their faces feels so last gen.

 

[Pedro Motta]

You talking shit about your own Sony published game? lol clown

Make some sense man, try to think for a minute and then post a response.

 

[Valedix]

I love how they remake games that don't need remakes but ignore the ones that need remakes. Gotta love gaming in 2022

 

[Lognor]

Make some sense man, try to think for a minute and then post a response.

Damn, you're salty as shit. Havent' seen someone as salty as you in a minute.

I think this is one of those meltdowns MasterCornholio was talking about. I think you need to stop away from your computer/phone.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

It's looking like there was a lot of bullshit marketing spewed by Sony and Neil druckman and now they're hiding the game behind just showing cutscenes

It's only looking like that if you want to.
In what way would it make sense to do that? They would always get caught lol

 

[Sanepar]

Exact same shot for shot cutscene, no re recorded voice acting, same animations : 80€.

Naughty Dog really has no shame, and everyone buying this at full price is a 100% total moron.

I would pay double price for this if they ask. Tlou is the best sp game ever made.

 

[Pedro Motta]

Damn, you're salty as shit. Havent' seen someone as salty as you in a minute.

I think this is one of those meltdowns MasterCornholio was talking about. I think you need to stop away from your computer/phone.

I'm so far away from a meldown you have no idea. Your brain on the other hand has melted away long ago.

You keep posting bait shit that don't even make any sense, you're just harming youself with this.

MUH MARKETING MUHH DURHHH, why bitch and moan and act disgruntled about the marketing of a game you won't play, on a console you don't own, from a company you don't like?

GTFO of here.
