Massive improvements but the mere thought of Dualsense haptics on TLOU1 got me like

 

[SamaelSavage]

Meh, it's a good game but I've already played it 3 times. Waste of resources if you ask me.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

"it's barely noticeable"

I feel like I'm going to bump some posts once we start to have actual gameplay footage lmao

 

[NeonGhost]

"it's barely noticeable"

I feel like I'm going to bump some posts once we start to have actual gameplay footage lmao

Remaster 2.0

 

[ANDS]

"it's barely noticeable"

That Summer Games Fest thread is full of some real choice nuggets.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

 

[TastyPastry]

i hope it has the same amount of gore and the same hit feedback as TLOUII
also i want a confirmation that the combat will basically be the same as in the sequel, i know druckmann talked about improved AI but that's still a little vague to me.

 

[ElCasual]

I just preorder from Amazon, is crazy that already is "Amazon Choice"

 

[SLB1904]

Tlous part 1 with part 2 gameplay
Take my pants

 

[M1987]

"it's barely noticeable"

I feel like I'm going to bump some posts once we start to have actual gameplay footage lmao

It's barely noticeable is a complete joke, it's a huge upgrade

 

[Arachnid]

$70!

 

[Sub_Level]

There's a guy on twitch who speedruns Last of Us 1 every single week. I'm sure he'll be happy with the speedrun mode.

 

[ElCasual]

$70!

and the games of $100 were sold out....wich is your point?

 

[Sleepwalker]

Day 1

 

[TaiLopezFan]

I hope the graphics are not held back by 60 FPS

 

[Hobbygaming]

Combat is going to feel sooo good

 

[M1987]

Tlous part 1 with part 2 gameplay
Take my pants

It's gonna be amazing

 

[RoadHazard]

Can I upgrade my PS3 version to this for free?

 

[SamaelSavage]

Tlous part 1 with part 2 gameplay
Take my pants

Since you already know the entire story beats of the first one by now, why not just replay part 2 for the gameplay?

 

[SafeOrAlone]

I need to be able to go prone.

 

[M1987]

Can I upgrade my PS3 version to this for free?

No

 

[RoadHazard]

No

So... yes?

 

[Arachnid]

and the games of $100 were sold out....wich is your point?

Anyone who paid 100 for this is a retard lmao

 

[Mr. Banana]

when it will come out on PC ? there's a date?

 

[Salz01]

Where’s the improvements listed out for Factions?

oh wait….

 

[Pelta88]

$70!

Sold out both online and locally near me within minutes so I'm guessing, with that type of interest, people want the immersive experience irrespective of the price point.

I'm in for the collectors edition if I can find it. Dualsense Haptics alone got me thirsty as fuck lol.

 

[Generic]

Speedrun mode?

 

[Banjo64]

"it's barely noticeable"

I feel like I'm going to bump some posts once we start to have actual gameplay footage lmao

It’s definitely noticeable how they gave Ellie’s character model the Aloy treatment.

 

[ButchCat]

OP I counted six Neil Druckmanns in there, can you confirm this is you Neil?

 

[ANDS]

I hope the graphics are not held back by 60 FPS

Why would they be? They already have achieved that with TLOUII.

 

[Bartski]

nothing concrete on the most important stuff regarding gameplay but I'm sure it's coming soon

 

[FF:Enhanced_Reality]

The lack of actually new content is really off-putting. No new areas, no new characters. Like a director's cut I'd approve of. But the PS4 version already looks great and at this point I know the story to a T. New shiny graphics are nice but they don't make a game. I don't think it's aimed at people like me. Pretty much it's there to sell PS5 copies to people who didn't play the games thus far but will be drawn into the series by the television adaptation.

 

[ANIMAL1975]

I want a Killzone2 remake like water in the desert, and Sony makes a second last of us remaster _ life sucks and it's unfair.
But lol at some comments, life doesn't revolve around you, it's obvious that every day (not to say every hour) somewhere in the planet earth, there's going to be someone buying a Playstation for the first time that never played the last of us. Dudes...

On top of that, no factions.

People are legit paying more than the price of the original game, for the third iteration of it (not even a decade since the original), and less content than before. Gamers legit do this to themselves lol

 

[Neff]

more intricate environments and creative reimaginings of familiar spaces.

This is the most interesting part. I want some surprises while playing. If it's just a mere facelift I'll be far less interested.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Anyone who paid 100 for this is a retard lmao

Wtf dude. Let people live. No one is forcing anyone to buy the game.

This game is on the list of the best games ever by a lot of people so I'm sure plenty of them will want the physical edition for it.

You got people paying more for every generic Assassin's Creed complete editions every year... I'm sure this one is allowed too

 

[SpokkX]

But more importantly

Did they REMOVE the fucking planks and ladders?

 

[JimRyanGOAT]

ya'll hated LOU II so much they went ahead and remade the first one for ya'll

I better not hear no bitching

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Still NOT worth 80€, are you totally insane ND ?

Even cats agree

 

[SLB1904]

$70!

I'll take 2

 

[rofif]

Sounds good.
Exactly what I would like from remake.
Still too expensive but with so little AAA games coming out, I guess they are banking on that starfield money

 

[SLB1904]

Since you already know the entire story beats of the first one by now, why not just replay part 2 for the gameplay?

Because the first one has some sick encounters.
The university
The sewers
Just a few.

Plus eye candy as well

 

[Fake]

$70
Big fucking no.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Going to pick up a used copy for $30....

God of War Ragnarok will be the only game Sony gets my $70 for

 

[saintjules]

 

[Dirk Benedict]

$70!

Day one on Steam. Whether it'll be 70$ or not, is another question..

 

[Pallas]

Are they adding anything different or extra story wise? Will it mirror the HBO show?

 

[balls of snow]

Meh, it's a good game but I've already played it 3 times. Waste of resources if you ask me.

Not if you gonna market it to pc gamers.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Anyone who paid 100 for this is a retard lmao

I bought 5. Merry Christmas.

 

[EDMIX]

Not if you gonna market it to pc gamers.

Agreed, plus those who have never played it who own a PS5.

Plus they played the original 3 times, they didn't fucking play THE REMAKE 3 times foh
