Support NeoGAF

[nycgamer4ever]

Damn every day I refresh Gaf and I end up in this thread. So much laughs. I love this place and will make a note to post more. It's getting closer now and the wait is killing me!

 

[SMOK3Y]

ya me too I didn't play it on PS3 as I was certain it'd be redone on PS4 so glad I waited lol

 

[Gray Matter]

Sadly no.

Sucks knowing that most likely this will be a fucking juggernaut of a download

 

[Warablo]

Personally I love the Ellen Page Ellie...

 

[Doctoglethorpe]

I don't even know what he is talking about. What is incorrect about one of those?

One of them is an earlier design, the other the redesign that was in the final game.

Its only a subtle difference really.

It is, but you can notice the difference when the two shots are placed next to each other.

I agree, I hate that they decided to tweak it the way they did, it just doesn't look right to me for some reason. I wonder if it weren't for Beyond if this ever even would've became an issue.

whos doing the OT? or is this thread gonna roll into being the OT?

It could, but someone should make one.

 

[raindoc]

-No HUD of any kind, meaning you can't be sure of ammo or health
-Clicker AI is realistic, they can detect even slow movements especially when clicking

Other changes which are shared with survivor although may be more intense include:

-Higher enemy damage output
-Low supplies

I can't wait.

I guess this game easily surpassed the "negative shift" test.
You know, the one when a game releases to a great reception by critics and gamers alike. But give it a month or two and all of a sudden close to everyone is down on the game.

i.e. Bioshock Infinite.

I see alot of excitement for this game a year after it's release, and it's still generally regarded as one of the best games ever.

 

[Vooduu]

Oh I haven't played it yet and wasn't sure how relevant she was.



Ok I'll update it sometime this week.

Oops, sorry. Didn't mean for spoilers.

Bioshock Infinite was GAF's #2 GOTY last year. It beat GTA V.

[KyleCross]

I really don't have any issue for them not having posted proper footage yet I just... find it VERY odd. Usually when it comes to re-releases like this that is all the marketing is about, doing these side-by-side comparisons like with all the HD collections. So for them not having done that and not even releasing some straight up gameplay weeks before release...

It isn't suspect, I'm pretty sure we all know the game is going to look and run fantastic, it's just super strange.

 

[Betty]

Yeah it is unusual, I can't imagine it would take long for them to throw a few pics of the Remaster our way to compare to the last gen version.

 

[Gurish]

I'm pretty amazed how this thread remains one of the most active on GAF although we don't even have any gameplay yet!

People are really excited for this remaster ha? It is an amazing game and all but i don't understand what there is to talk about when there are no news, you guys are talented

 

[antitrop]

whos doing the OT? or is this thread gonna roll into being the OT?

The OT OT has Canis lupis claiming it, but he's a Junior Member. Nothing's to say he can't just copy/paste the code to someone else to post up for him, I guess.

 

[Cthulhu_Steev]

Some very cool artwork of infected animals

That lion has no nose, how does it smell?

"Terrible!"

having infected animals would have made the gameplay more diverse...I guess they couldn't add them due to ram limitations?

I guess, rams aren't as scary as lions and gorillas.

This needs to morph into an impressions thread, and fast.

"My name, is Michael Caine and not a lot of people know that"

Any good?

Three shit jokes in a row. It must be Sunday morning.

 

[ksdixon]

Its been a while since I played TLOU multiplayer. Is there an option to add a clan tag next to your name in game?

I'd like to team up with people from GAF. Hopefully someone will create a TLOU PSN ID exchange thread so we can play as a team.

Not that I know of.
I also want the ability to rename my custom loadouts.

 

[Winterfang]

wow.

The Last of Us 2 right there.

Mmm I don't know,

Spoiler

I though that the scene with the giraffe and stuff was to show that even if humanity is lost, the world will continue.

 

[ksdixon]

I just assumed based on the

Spoiler

giraffes that most animals couldn't get infected

.

Didn't we also see non-infected dogs in the suburbs, or at least hear them barking?

I have to say I was very surprised at not having an underwater infected. Until I saw both the

Spoiler

Stalkers and Bloaters

alongside the Runners and Clickers (thus making-up our 4 infected types from the early note), I was shitting my pants every time Joel had to help Ellie with a raft. Then it just sort-of became an inconvenience when they kept going back to it.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

I'd like a printable version if you put the right Ellie on the front.

I don't mean to be sassy but it's my biggest pet peeve, for real. They look so dissimilar, I don't understand how people mistake the old model for Ellie.

I agree.I find it staggering that people can't see they're two different people. Different hair, different eyes, different nose and different lips.

 

[ksdixon]

I got used to multiplayer mode where nail bombs only down your opponents. In the campaign enemies go FLYING. It's awesome.

I'll admit when they changed her face during production I hated it. I thought it took detail away from the face, and made her forehead look too big/too empty.

Maybe it's just that I've played the game now and am used to what 'Ellie' looks like, but I now really dislike the original face, at least in this side-by-side comparison shot.

 

[Doctoglethorpe]

It is, but you can notice the difference when the two shots are placed next to each other.

I can see a difference, I just couldn't say myself which one is the newer one. Maybe if I had more recently played the game I could.

 

[Zack117]

Sadly no.

Any words on the file size yet?

 

[Sande]

Okay this has bugged me since the original version. There's this certain section

Spoiler

in Pittsburgh with the searchlight and I just never could figure out the "right" way to do it. Do you have to shut the generator and take out all the guys who are now on alert looking for you? No way around that? This way it's very difficult to sneak your way through so I've always felt that I'm doing something wrong.

I'm expecting close to 50 GB, but no official word yet.

You dont actually have to kill them all, after you start the generator, go upstairs and there should be a door leading to a (cubicle?) The keycard is on the ground there. So rush and get it, and just ran towards the locked door then.

Though i might be mistaken at some parts.

Edit: You said take out the guys. Did u actually mean the infected?

No you're pretty much right. Rushing through that section is much easier than trying to fight.

I'm not sure if you have to take them all out, but my friend got lucky and hid right next to where they drop down (next to the trash can that's on fire), and strangled each one right as they dropped, lol. He ended up with a pile of around 4-5 bodies right next to the exit. There were a couple of people left behind who dropped down on the opposite side, but they were easily taken care of.

If anyone's having trouble with that section, I'd give that method a try.

I think you're talking about the basement section. He's talking about the section where you are

Spoiler

escaping the city, and there's a spotlight on you. You have to turn on the generator, then lots of dudes drop down and search for you.

Hmmmm I dont remember having to turn on a generator after that part.

 

[mrklaw]

Ok, I'm willing to try hard mode with listen off - played through PS3 with listen mode on as I considered it helping me with situational awareness. But seems like decent sound design helps with that.

So,what headphones should I use and what setting in game? I can either use the Sony gold wireless headphones (and possibly tweak the settings), or use my sennheiser 555s via my receiver (either plain stereo or virtual surround).

There's probably a few ways of approaching it but one thing I had no idea you could until I watched a youtube vid was

Dumb difficulty? :\ Maybe it works but it doesn't sound right.
In my second run I wanted to see if I could pass through unnoticed. I had many idea to face that section stealth, all failed. At the end I can take out half of them stealth, then things turn to shit.

I never used listen mode (considered it cheating) the sound was good enough - I used some Astro A40s and I plan to use those on PS4 via the controller plug in as I do for other games.

That's actually the only way I've managed to complete it without a firefight iirc. Feels like such an exploit though.

 

[Summer Haze]

"Listen" mode, also knows as 'cheating-as-fuck X-Ray vision'.

Yeah, it does. He was just having so much trouble with that part, though, so I can't really blame him. I managed to do that section without doing that "trick" on Hard mode, but I don't know if I'm gonna be able to on Grounded.

Forget the generator and enter the room with the keycard. Ready your shotgun and prepare yourself for the stalkers. Take each one out as they enter the door. Once this is one, go to the generator and turn it on. As soon as it's done rotate, forward, turn right/right and run up the stairs, left/left and use the keycard. Done.

He was referring to a different scene. The

second generator in the game to be precise.
