Support NeoGAF

[Lord of Castamere]

Hopefully by next week they meant this week and not next week.

Did the Sony pony guy get banned?

He got a Dishonorable Discharge from Neogaf. Now he is Sergeant of nothing.

Glad I found a US retail copy, as much as I love LOU I don't want it eating up 50+gb

I'm going to get this on Day 1

 

[clutch.as.it.gets.]

The should've used a direct screenshot like i did here

Hopefully ND releases a comparison video because there are plenty of differences in the ps4 version apart from the boosted resolution and framerate.

In this pic the PS3 version looks sharper. It seems they are using FXAA as their post aa solution. Hope 1080p can compensate the FXAA softness somewhat.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

It's PS3 cutscene vs. later build PS3 cutscene. It makes all the discussion about it super hilarious.

Wait, are you serious? People have been arguing and dissecting that first roadblock trailer to the final version this whole time?

This pic is comparing a pre-release version of the PS3 to the PS4 version. The release PS3 version looks more or less identical to the PS4 version except at lower resolution. This is also from a pre-rendered cutscene.

We need someone to edit that pic out of that post so people stop quoting it.

EDIT:
Here is a similar shot using the proper PS3 release version that Shin-Ra posted:

And here are the full grabs from Shin-Ra:

Again, these are cutscene comparisons, which should be identical minus resolution and framerate. The gameplay is where we will see any real improvements with higher res character models, improved textures, lighting, etc.

yes, neither of those are from the ps4 version.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

This thread is a treadmill of the same thing over and over and over again:


- I wish there was an upgrade program, I bought the game and a season pass
- I wish there was footage, I'm super concerned
- are we sure it's 60fps?


And 'round and 'round we go.

Yup. Think it's best we simply wait for something tangible and official, we ain't going anywhere.

Looking forward to playing Left Behind.

My bet is screens on Friday, video next week.

Seriously? Maybe so people can make a purchase decision? The loyalty some of you guys have to developers is right down scary, so what's the point of game previews if we are gonna heve tons of people streaming it, previews in the TRE was what helped that game sell as many copies as it did, not many people streaming the game

Why do you need to make a purchase decision before the item is even available to purchase? Aren't all the things I mentioned actually better for making a more informed decision? You can read the review from your preferred outlet, see the game in the actual wild, and visit the sites with your favourite writers for better, more tailored information to your tastes. I just think that's a smarter way to go about it then dropping your pants a greasing up over a PR release.

Can you provide a link to your claim there about TR, though? I know most of my friends bought it after watching me stream it and I bought it after watching a stream myself. I found that to be way smarter than watching a trailer.

Personally I watched a stream on my PS4 and the quality was god-awful - not a good way to promote a remaster.

I watched the stream for the gameplay. I went online to a third party site to see the visuals and comparisons. I didn't watch anything from Squeenix. I tend to focus mostly on the first part (gameplay) over the second (visuals) in my game buying decisions, but there's more than enough resources for anyone's preferences to be meet.

You still didn't answer why we need pre-release marketing? This talk about how some tweets were apparently 'ridiculous hyping' has me thinking that everybody who is upset that there's no video has already made up their mind and just can't wait to troll. I can't respect you for that.

Not sure if serious.

There are several TLoU screens out there that show combat situations in areas there aren't any. It's odd.

Gameplay scenarios change during development? There's lots of stealth or action after that and a forced action sequence right before the cellar so it was probably changed to lengthen the breather period.

 

[Cthulhu_Steev]

Did the Sony pony guy get banned? lol

He's gathered his evidence on NeoGAF and taken it back to his Uncle xmedia.

@bruce_straley: Aim/Shoot w the PS4's triggers at 60fps feels so good! So we set this as our #TLOUremastered defaults (u can flip back). #everyshotcounts

https://twitter.com/bruce_straley/status/487295921097420800

@bruce_straley: Supporting Southpaw eluded us during TLOU production (analog stick swapping), but it's in for #TLOUremastered. Enjoy, ya freaks!

Is it me or the PS3 version actually look sharper, especially the skin.

Wot. All ps4 games install, you will still have 50 GB eaten up.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

So we can switch between 30FPS and 60FPS? Nice.
I'm really curious to see the difference it makes.

Where do you see that? Straley is saying you can switch from the new default of using L2/R2 to shoot to the PS3 default of L1/R1.

Excellent, I like that there is an option and the addition to south paw, while not something I need, it's good to know they are thinking about everyone and not forcing only one controller scheme for everyone.

 

[urge26]

Day One, even if it's a glorified port. ND give us something!

Looking forward to playing the Last of Us for the first time when I get a PS4 in a few months.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Sorry about that guys. I will edit the post containing the misleading image. I didn't know it was from an older build.

edit: done

was not my intention to mislead anybody

[RoboPlato]

Why don't they release a TRAILER? Youtube now supports 60 fps, so we should get a real feel about the game.

It's still in beta. Only a couple select people can post in 60 right now.

 

[MavFan619]

Doesn't look that different to me, GTAV looks like a big jump compared to TLOU. Minor jump in graphics and 60fps, should drop the price by 10 again just for hyping it up on twitter, had everyone thinking tarzan and we got jane.

The thing they've been hyping on twitter is something you don't see in screens. Silky smooth 60fps. I'll take that over better shirt textures any day.

 

[Shin-Ra]

What if.. the cutscene models (minus hair) were used in the PS3 version all along!

I guess I got a little overexcited there.
Missed the trigger part, only read "60FPS... default... flip back".

 

[delta25]

Not this coming Tuesday but the Tuesday after that, saying that make the wait less painful.

god I cant wait

 

[gotstrangepowers]

i love this thread--crazy shit every day

 

[kaskade]

ND should do like an indepth digital foundry like comparison to ease people's worries with some screens. Put up a torrent of native uncompressed video for comparison. They really haven't shown much of the game and it is coming out very soon. I can't wait.

Yes, for the likely two percent of their potential user base. Brilliant use of their time.

Unless YouTube fixed their horrible compression along with 60 fps support, then I don't even want to see it there.

For a reference video like this I'd take proper IQ over proper framerate. I know what 60 fps looks like. I don't know what TLOU:R looks like.

The Ground Zeroes GameTrailers video was compressed to hell and back.

The Ground Zeroes GameTrailers video was compressed to hell and back.

But you could download an in-house comparison straight from the Konami site at full 1080p 60fps.

And it really was glorious.

THIS. IS. NEXTGEN.

At least it's faster than downloading.

After telling myself that I don't need this, I caved in and preordered this on Amazon. July 29th hurry the fuck up!!

Is the multiplayer worth getting PS+ for? Do I need a headset, too?


Cant wait to play this for the first time

Easily best TPS multiplayer on last gen for me.

Best 3rd person multiplayer since Gears of War 2. Pubbies never really talked on the PS3 but I remember neogaf had a few organized weekends, so a mic would definitely help.

In my opinion, hell yes to both questions. I love shooters, but honestly I got burnt out on VS play a few years back. Just didn't have much appetite for it anymore. I felt like I could never be fast enough or familiar enough with all the dumb tricks that people exploit in stuff like CoD, Halo, and Gears.

TLOU was opposite of all that for me. I got pretty good at it just by playing smart. Stick with your team, don't reload in doorways, don't give away your position, and remember your ABC's (always be crafting!). I got absolutely hooked for like 3 months where this was all I played. That's unheard of for me these days. I'm 33, married, and busy a lot of the time so I hardly ever give a game 3 solid months, much less a competitive mode. And I'm talking like 5 nights a week kind of hooked. Very into it.

Jump in, man. You won't regret it. Best shooter of last gen, IMO. Maybe this gen too, at least for a little while.
