PRE ORDERING RIGHT NOW. WORTH THE $60

 

[Hollycat]

Looks like its finally time for me to buy a copy to keep.

 

[Salex_]

It's a shitty trend and I will not support it.
But people are clearly buying into this so publishers will keep on doing it as long it's financially viable.
It's pretty much as easy as printing money.

lol. Why are you throwing a temper tantrum? You do realize there's people who only had a 360, people who want to play it in 1080p/60 FPS, and people want to play the multiplayer on their PS4?

If you don't want it, don't fucking buy it. Look at things from a different POV.

Why is this any different than say movies? Especially Star Wars, Scarface, The God Father, Goodfellas etc, They get the same treatment and are basically the same in entertainment value. At least thos ethat did miss out get a great value for their $60 bucks.

So is this actually naughty dog doing this port? Or is it an outside company?

ND is doing the portage

 

[bombshell]

So is this actually naughty dog doing this port? Or is it an outside company? Also, i am afraid 60fps will ruin the cinematic experience for me. My gut tells me that its gonna look like Ps4 tomb raider.

In-house by ND.

 

[Wolff]

Druckmann is targeting.

"For those asking, @Naughty_Dog is developing The Last of Us Remastered and we're targeting 60fps. More info to come. #PS4"

 

[shwimpy]

I just found a retailer with a sense of humor that's actually using this image to promote pre-orders :lol

needs 7.5 - Polygon

 

[reKon]

"Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Framerate: 60 fps source
Higher resolution character models
Improved shadows and lighting
Several other gameplay improvements"

Alrighty. $60 makes sense then. I wont get it at that price, but there are going to be a lot of first timers who are going to experience this for the first time.

And $30 worth of DLC.

 

[Taker34]

Yes! The cat's pajamas!!!

Never played TLoU on PS3 so this will be an unprecedented experience.

 

[Nafai1123]

I wonder how many Blu-Ray discs it'll take to hold the game with better textures and etc.

Just one I would expect. Sony massively improved their decompression methods with the PS4.

 

[Sanke__]

I assume it will release the Friday after E3 again.
Seems like a trend for Sony.

 

[Curufinwe]

Damn, TLOU has the chance to be a juggernaut. Its like 6 million of ps3 alone for a new IP. The sales on ps4 should push it up to 9-10 million. TLOU 2 onfirmed!

Obligatory.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I don't know if I'll pay full price for it. But I'll wait for a sale/price lowering.

 

[dan2026]

Why don't they make sure its running at 60fps, then worry about all the graphical bells and whistles?

Developers have such a backward mentality.

 

[Ishan]

have some friends who shifted to ps4 from 360. Am going to make them buy this game. I'll be like buy it god damn it just buy it ..... JUST DO IT.

 

[Dany]

"In-game cinematic commentary from the cast and creative director"

That makes it worth it more than 60fps for me

 

[Nightengale]

Feels so strange that ND is doing the port in-house... Druckmann redeemed. He was legitimately not bullshitting when he implied that a TLoU port would take up internal resources.

More of a megaton in that interview.

The lion's share of the studio is on UC4. Back to one team? Bruce and Neil kings of UC4?

Having 2 creative teams doesn't mean that there's 2 distinct development resources.

 

[Interfectum]

Obligatory.

These never get old. He never knows wtf he's talking about.

 

[Loudninja]

Like I said before this should do well.

Its a game which alot of people loves on a system where they are hungry for more games.

 

[Instro]

Please explain what is the problem with HD ports?

I don't get the issue here.

Nothing, except when they are way over priced to take advantage of the consumer.

 

[Mung]

Obligatory.

Please for the love of god don't bring that man into this thread

 

[threetri333]

When can we see a PS4 demo version of TLOU?

 

[Stoof]

lol. Why are you throwing a temper tantrum? You do realize there's people who only had a 360, people who want to play it in 1080p/60 FPS, and people want to play the multiplayer on their PS4?

If you don't want it, don't fucking buy it. Look at things from a different POV.

Yup. I never got around to buying this for PS3 so a PS4 port is even better!

 

[tensuke]

1080p/60? Higher res models? Holy fucking hell yes, ND! In my veins!

 

[KalBalboa]

Obligatory.

Never saw this. Thanks!

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

$60 seems a little steep for a game I've already platinum'd.

The game would definitely benefit from 1080p and improved textures, though. As long as the framerate isn't unlocked I might actually double dip.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Obligatory.

He's been more quiet lately

Seeing as he is usually always wrong

 

[StuBurns]

Why don't they make sure its running at 60fps, then worry about all the graphical bells and whistles?

Developers have such a backward mentality.

No, not really, because engine optimization is later than the other elements of fidelity other than final framebuffer adjustments.

You can do the Rage thing, take five years to ship a pig, but that's not advisable.

 

[gcubed]

I want to see gameplay

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Obligatory.

Why is he allowed to have his job?

 

[BruiserBear]

The word "targeting" makes me nervous. Please don't let it be "targeting" like Tomb Raider on the PS4. I'm ok with 60fps, with once in a while drops to 50+. Tomb Raider was semi regular drops to 50fps.

 

[TimeEffect]

I really love Joel in the cover, but does Ellie seem a bit off to anyone? She looks chubbier or younger or something

Her face looks... shorter

 

[Ishan]

Why don't they make sure its running at 60fps, then worry about all the graphical bells and whistles?

Developers have such a backward mentality.

cause many ppl like me dont care about 60fps on such games. When i play cs i want a rock solid 60fps and normally higher (fps_max 120 constantly using net_graph 3 to monitor my loss choke and fps ... used to play it at 640 also even though my computer could easily manage 1080) but with games like this i just want eye candy ...

 

[Aces&Eights]

I'm excited. I played the first one up to the generator scene then got stuck. My buddy talked me into letting him borrow it for a night and then broke up with his woman and lost my copy to her. I knew a ps4 version would be coming so I never repurchased. So, I still have the entire 2nd half of the game to explore plus the DLC. Topped off with 1080p and added features and I'm all over it.

First one to post webms of new ps4 footage wins the internet!

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

ShdwDrake, what you got to say brother?

 

[Wishmaster92]

Come on ND release some screenshots already! I want to see those updated models.

 

[brickarts295]

Note that Druckmann didn't say what "fps" stood for

Maybe he meant "firings per second"

Okay this one got me XD

 

[imtehman]

fuuuuu, might have to double dip but not at 60$. nice for those who havent played it yet

 

[leakey]

Welp, can't wait for a release date. I told myself I'd buy a ps4 when this gets ported. Never had a ps3

 

[PhatSaqs]

Was about to pre-order and probably will anyway but... what the shit?

YOU MAY NOT CANCEL A PRE-ORDER AT ANY TIME AND REFUNDS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDERS, SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAWS.

 

[Ingueferroque]

I wonder if they will be able to add female enemies now, since the memory limitations are now gone.

 

[JayEH]

10/10

 

[dark_inferno]

The Source site doesnt talk about 60FPS anymore. And i hope its 60fps or no buy.

 

[outsida]

I was kicking myself for skipping out on this game. Now I'll pick up the definitive version on my PS4!

 

[RoboPlato]

The word "targeting" makes me nervous. Please don't let it be "targeting" like Tomb Raider on the PS4. I'm ok with 60fps, with once in a while drops to 50+. Tomb Raider was semi regular drops to 50fps.

I think targeting is just how some devs want to phrase it in case it has a few drops here and there. Second Son and Tomb Raider both claimed 30fps but were above, only Killzone MP said targeting 60 and didn't hit it.

 

[Majanew]

ShdwDrake, what you got to say brother?

Obviously not an insider.

 

[Loudninja]

Nothing, except when they are way over priced to take advantage of the consumer.

Is that whats happening here?

 

[Gbraga]

Ok, this is the system seller I need.

Please hit that target.

 

[Nuke Soda]

I want this and Bioshock: Infinite PS4 edition.
