Have you played through the sewage section with Henry and Sam? That has been the most "next gen" moment for me so far even though PS5 was struggling lol still beautiful. I do hope they fix performance for 4k mode soon.

Whats the issue with performance in the 4k mode? The ps5 is struggling? Ain't no way, must need a patch.
 
I love how this OT is turning into a community space for tlou "usual suspects"

With rofif rofif kyliethicc kyliethicc tommib tommib James Sawyer Ford James Sawyer Ford and myself included, these are the people whom i constently replied with i agrees.

Only one we are missing is Bo_Hazem Bo_Hazem and i am sure he is deep in the remake right this second.

Sadly I can't replay games I've already beaten. Thought I might give this one a chance but I can't. Probably the best remake ever along with Demon's Souls (I don't play souls games at all though).

Funny that, Bo. You don't have like a game that makes you go back and gets you all fuzzy? I have that with Quake, or RE4, classic Tomb Raider - and more recently with Returnal (can easily try a run at the tower at any moment and feel super satisfied).

Do you repeat films? I've watched my favourite movies dozens of times. I guess it's the same thing. Just picking your brain, don't mind me. 😘

I can replay games like uc4 and half-life 2 each year.
For years I had a tradition to replay chronicles of riddick before christmass :P

Dude, since elden ring all i do is play the games i finished before.

Just this summer, i replayed and finished, uc4 and lost legacy remasters, inside( was on gamepass, couldnt help myself), fifa 14 (i missed playing with Kaka for some reason) and modenr warfare rebbot (fantastic campaign).

Just give it another go.

I love how this OT is actually an OT. I haven't seen an OT remain an OT on gaf yet.

Perhaps this is a turning point?!

Somehow the concern and shitposting will arrive in a cascade and the people actually playing the game move on from the OT and then it dies.

It's the natural cycle. Just embrace it.

Yeah no.

"Some people" are too busy with complaining how 343i cancelled couch co op for halo currently, a game that was voted GOTY 2021 (an actual disgrace for any online community, let alone a gaming forum).

Once they are done with that they'll come knocking.
 
Played solid for 5 hours last night (just passed Bill's section of the game) and enjoyed every minute. The scene when Ellie pulls out the jazz mag in the car still makes me lol. I hope these kinds of scenes are frequent in the TV show.
 
I swear, one of these days that basement is going to give me a heart attack. Typically I don't find myself dreading certain parts of a game. This (and RE4's Regenerators) are exceptions.

Especially with the new improved Bloater audio. Damn, ND.
I tracked out the route to the door twice before turning on the generator…not gonna make me shit my pants today, ND
 
Played the first fifteen minutes just now.

Lighting and reflections are on another level.

But the most impectful improvement is facial expressions so far.

Seeing the agony on Sarah's face in that way makes the whole moment 10 times more emotional.

This is the first time i notice Sarah looks like her uncle Tommy and i was like, oh yeah people do look like their uncle sometimes. :D

I said the exact same thing to someone yesterday. The facial tech is insane, the little quivers and muscle muscle movements you can now see in both Sarah and Joels faces during that scene made it feel new to me and hit me in a different way. It was a lot more realistic.

This. Especially given you'll get more sweet trophy pops. Woo!
 
I don't remember any other remake that tries so hard to prove that it's better than the original version. If it's better, you can even see it in a 720p youtube video, like Demon's Souls remake.
 
So what are the proper set up settings for the Fidelity 40 fps mode to engage LFC on a CX? Set ps5 to 120hz output from system menu and then select VRR on tv/ps5 then go Fidelity and check unlocked framerate? I can't seem to get a smooth experience so far in 40hz maybe I'm missing something.
 
Sarah's real life actor is actually hot as fuck good lord I did not know this.

Played past the intro last night will dive in some more this weekend

One thing about that scene people don't talk nearly enough is Tommy's face of disbelief when it all happens. The original didn't portray nearly as many emotions like this.

You see Tommy first, then Joel, then Sarah. Also...that tear down her face was...not something I needed. As if it wasn't bad enough already. Was the tear there before? I don't remember it.

Holly shit dude.

Tommy's sheer shock was incredible.

Decent sum up here from Luke Stephens, reinforcing the fact that this really is just a cosmetic cash grab when you get right down to it.




Yeah. I think I'm quite happy to play this waaaaay down the line, only when I want another replay.


One thing he gets wrong is saying they added the 180-degree turn to the game with this remake. This was in the PS3 version.
 
These cutscenes are unreal. After seeing this, it wouldn't surprise me if Insomniac actually reaches the fidelity shown in the Wolverine CGI trailer. They are not far off here at all.

How good is the DualSense support in this game? I hope its better than UC remaster DualSense support because that one was a bit underwhelming.

It is very good.

Whats the issue with performance in the 4k mode? The ps5 is struggling? Ain't no way, must need a patch.

I am playing with 4k40 VRR mode and the drops to the 30s are often and noticeable during cutscenes and gameplay when using the flashlight in scenes with dense particles (spores) and geometry. It's so good looking I give them a pass for pushing the hardware but they still need to optimize their engine better. At this point, it seems as though Insomniac engine is the most up to date engine for PS5. They have solidified their status as #1 PS Studio as of now.

I don't know chief, Horizon Forbidden West is a cross gen game and somehow character models in that game impressed me more than this build from the ground up PS5 exclusive.

You can see that Part 1 is better through a YouTube video. What are you talking about? I will say that YouTube videos, especially poor quality ones, have a massive impact and really underplay just how significant the jump is

Look I'm going to be completely honest - Demon's Souls gets a lot of love here and it looks great, but TLOU Part 1 BLOWS IT THE FUCK AWAY visually. This is clearly at the top of the heap on PS5 when it comes to visuals.

Oh hell no. Aloy's hair alone ruins what you're talking about. Facial expressions, wrinkles, etc...it all looks way better here, specially if you turn off that damn film grin they keep adding.
 
First off, what a great OP.

Secondly, what an incredible experience this game is. Totally worth the $70. Everything is just pitch-perfect as I remembered, and the visuals and sound are just magnificent.

:messenger_heart:Naughty Dog:messenger_heart:
 
So the consensus then for someone who owns the original and remaster?
I need to own this? The leap looks more dramatic than I imagined!
 
I'm really amazed by the eyes. I still remember Uncharted 2 where everyone had lizard eyes. How far we have come:

Uncharted 2 remake (remaster, whatever) using the most up to date ND tech would be great. I would pay 80 EUR / 70 USD for that.
