What exactly is on the day one patch?

What exactly is on the day one patch?

The making of documentary and Photo mode.

 

[-griffy-]

Nah, from the comparison pics posted a few days ago that doesn't seem to be the case.

We know at least one element to the "improved" lighting. In the original game, there was a light bounce effect utilized in certain areas, where if you shown a flashlight on an object it would bounce the color of that object around. So a red object would bounce red light off it when light hit it, lighting up the surrounding area with red. But this was only used in certain areas. The remastered version will have this effect enabled all the time. Hence improved lighting.

Random rant:

I really hope the AA is better than it's coming off in a lot of these shots. Before I go any further, I want to clarify that I'm not one of those that bitches about every small little detail or expect anything more than just a remaster of the PS3 game. I'm going to enjoy this game all over again no matter what and I think 1080P and 60 frames per second are both the most significant upgrades.

However, I expected the textures to get a decent bump up going off of what was said by naughty dog leading up to the release of this game and it doesn't appear the textures have been remodeled, just simply up-ressed. Okay, I get that that's a lot of work... so then the image quality should at least be super-crisp. I guess I thought I was keeping my expectations in check but maybe I was still expecting too much. I just assumed that textures would get a decent bump and when that didn't appear to be the case, I would at least expect the IQ to increase; but outside of 1080P it doesn't seem to have a better AA filter.

GAF has ruined me, haha. I used to only care about framerate and overall graphical detail, but ever since I've become a regular here I care a lot more about resolution and IQ.

 

[Gray Matter]

It looks like we will reach 300 pages before the OT.

 

[Gbraga]

Just got myself better internet, I hope they can install it before this comes out >_<

I agree. The aliasing was very noticeable in the trailer they put out. It was disappointing.
I need to see more footage before I can make a conclusive decision with regards to a purchase.

Aliasing and Z-fighting detracted from the image quality.

I feel like aliasing looks worse in pictures than in motion. I'm thinking the game in motion is going to look really damn good.

The textures are from the much higher source art and not just the PS3 textures "up-ressed". Also, the AA is definitely better than what we got on the PS3. Not sure if you were expecting some sort of super sampling or something. Until a better form of AA is invented that doesn't require the game to be rendered at a much higher form than what will be on-screen, we'll have to live with this kind of IQ on consoles.

For The Last of Us on PS3, aliasing was actually much worse in motion due to the supremely distracting shimmer effect on distant objects.

Yeah, there's a rather dramatic difference in texture quality

It's the other way around, it's looks terrible in motion.

Yup. That shimmering will probably still be there to an extent.

These things have seriously soured my expectations of this remaster.

 

[PeregrinSe7en]

maybe it's been discussed in this thread already, but how much quicker are the load times in the remastered edition compared to the ps3 version?

has DF or any of those technical sites gotten their hands on the remastered edition?

 

[VisceralBowl]

More teasing. This isn't actually one of the images I made for Canus. Just showing the full logo.

 

[SolidSnakex]

has DF or any of those technical sites gotten their hands on the remastered edition?

I'd imagine that it's in the hands of reviewers by now. So DF would likely have access to it. But I wouldn't expect them to have a comparison up any earlier than the day before the release.

 

[jonnyp]

Yeah, there's a rather dramatic difference in texture quality

I don't ever remember it looking that blurry on my PS3.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

got into this tonight. good stuff to tide you over for a bit.

Did you get the paperback of American Dreams? I just got The Art of The Last of Us today and I'm thinking of buying that as well, but I've read mixed things about it, in terms of how much it actually adds to the lore of the game. I've read comments saying that it ultimately adds nothing and is skippable, and the complete opposite. What's your take?

Also, the art book looks amazing. Dark Horse did another good job on a viddya artbook. I am impressed.

 

[william_557]

Just got myself better internet, I hope they can install it before this comes out >_<

i just bought a wired cable to my router instead of using wireless do hopefully that'll improve online (though it isn't that bad anyway)

 

[william_557]

do we know when the reviews are coming out? i know they won't be that different from the original but interested to hear reviewers thoughts

 

[MulderWasTaken]

The making of documentary and Photo mode.

I was expecting to play the documentary on the disc itself.

 

[jwk94]

Do we know how the Left Behind DLC is going to be handled? Do we have to select it separate from the campaign or will it be integrated this time?

 

[WordsintheWater]

Do we know how the Left Behind DLC is going to be handled? Do we have to select it separate from the campaign or will it be integrated this time?

Pretty sure it's separate cause they said you can choose to go into Left Behind before you play the main game or do it after.

 

[Nvzman]

Do we know how the Left Behind DLC is going to be handled? Do we have to select it separate from the campaign or will it be integrated this time?

It's a separate option in the menu, exactly as it was on PS3.

Aww. I was really hoping it was integrated. Oh well, I guess i'll play it when the time comes.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Just one more page guys! We can do it!

 

[scoobs]

I completely forgot this game comes out next week... YES! So freaking excited.

 

[stryke]

Aww. I was really hoping it was integrated. Oh well, I guess i'll play it when the time comes.

The pacing would be very off if it was integrated.

Edit - just in case

I realize I'm a little late on the demastering party, but having just read through American Dreams again, while listening to the TLoU soundtrack, I decided I should do some avatars.

Here's Joel if anyone's interested:

I'm working on a Clicker and I'll probably do Ellie tomorrow.

Less than a week now!

 

[VashTS]

With the the amount of gross compression and lack of 60fps support on youtube, that video is not worth watching. Better off just watching a video of the PS3 version instead.

 

[bananafactory]

So apparently these have existed for a while, but I just recently stumbled on them. Been looking for some artwork for my place and hot damnnnnn these are great.
