OMGZzzz.. Well at least I haven't purchased any DLC. When I get my PS4 next year I'll grab this. I knew this would happen.

your reading comprehension is unparalleled. i was wondering what they meant exactly by "targeting."

I don't know that "targeting" means that they are struggling to hit 60 fps, I think all it indicates is that they're still tweaking performance and aren't comfortable publicly committing to it until they are confident it will happen.

Immediate? Lol one year on a different platform isn't immediate
True. But what this basically boils down to imo is.
The Last Of Us GOTY edition = $40 (included paid DLC that released after the game out). The other $20 are for the ps4 graphical upgrade.
Hence, the $60 pricetag is justified.
Does that make it worth it? Really depends on the person. To me, it isn't. I have already paid for the core game before, so really I'm only willing to pay for the graphical upgrade + the DLC. And that is worth $40 to me at most. Therefore, I won't be buying this game until it hits $40.

Are they not doing those PS3 -> PS4 upgrade programs anymore? I'm cheap, sue me.
I'll probably still end up buying it.

Good thing its not Kojima releasing this game or it would be $40 a season.
Right now TLOU is $59.99 on PS3 without the DLC. How is $59.99 on PS4 with a bunch of DLC and graphical upgrades a shitty deal?

You guys fall for it every time.
You'll forgive me if I don't catch the sarcastic posts in the carnival of stupid this new console generation has inspired.

It's not your fault. Benny hardly drops any hints for the uninitiated to pick up. That's one cruel sheep.

Why is this $60? Are they targeting a dollar per frame?
Will wait for PS+.

That is a completely logical and reasonable conclusion to come to....
GTFO while you still can!
I loved his "missing" shadow post in the inFAMOUS Second Son thread. Got so many people. What was funnier is that I think one person even seriously used it as an example of a downgradeaton.
Imagine how I feel. Every time I post while I'm emotional I have people come out and say I'm being sarcastic.You'll forgive me if I don't catch the sarcastic posts in the carnival of stupid this new console generation has inspired.
I guess it's time to go back to being a robot.
I hope Naughty Dog deliver a good quality remastering for fans of this game and others that hadn't had the chance to play this yet.

Go back? Was there a time when you didn't feel these… these… emotions? Was it before you saw this guy?
At this stage they're almost synonymous.
The fact that a PSN store listing was even being made this early gives hope that a proper announcement (before the leak) was not far off and they may have preparing some media to showcase some of the differences at that time alongside the announcement.
Hopefully, wherever they were planning on doing that, they still do. But now that the cat is out of the bag, I have a feeling we won't be seeing anything regarding this game until closer to E3.

What the hell are you talking about.
So you are saying you want TLoU:Remastered for PS4, with it upgraded graphics, and extra development time, 3 included DLC packs, and revamped gameplay, to be sold at a LOWER price than the PS3 version that includes none of that.
That is asinine.

I hope that they also include that awesome documentary.
the last pallet took a few weeks to completely sell
or at least that is what the person working there told me.
It's free to watch on youtube.
You're boring me now.

I gatta say I'm a total sucker for these hd upgrades and remakes. I love collecting games and just have to have the best, most feature complete, definitive version of a game. It taps into that part of my old school game brain from back in the snes/genesis days when gamers argued which one had the better color palate and was closest to the arcade version (snes was always other than good old Neo Geo!), and now this brain lives on as frame rate, resolution, and aliasing technique analysis, etc.
I personally support this type of game upgrade/re-release and think it's good for the industry. I say let devs use these games as a test bed for upgrading their existing engines or to try out their new ones, use them as an opportunity to more fully realize their original visions, as a way to bring in players who may have missed otherwise great games, or as a way to fund your next full game and test demand for your old ips.
For all the complaints I hear, mostly about the cost, I say ignore the nay sayers and keep em coming. If you don't like don't buy em! I for one can't wait to re-experience TLOU and will pay full price to do so. I just hope they throw as much at the ps4 as possible!
By the way I see these 'hd versions' as existing on a scale and their value should be based as such-
1. Simple HD Upgrades. These games should be significantly cheaper than original software or sold in collections. If they are sold at full price it may fee like a rip off. This includes most of what they did last gen with ps2/psp to ps3 ports, and so far this gen include games like Flower HD or trine 2 (both simple respectable hd upgrades of already beautiful games, like having a new pair of glasses)
2. Enhanced HD Upgraded Games are the next step up and should be offered at mid level but discounted prices. Examples are Tomb Raider (used as a way for devs to play with upgraded/new engine features, tres fx and enhanced lighting, high res textures, etc) and the upcoming Pixel Junk Ultimate (games with upgraded art assets, better/enhanced physics, better/new lighting).
3. Then you have the best of these which are Full Remakes; which can be priced at whatever the devs feel like depending on the type of the game and extent of the remake budget. Some examples include RE remake for gamecube (mostly the same game with all new re-imagined art and slightly enhanced gameplay), tomb raider anniversary (re-imagined original with enhanced graphics and fully modernized gameplay), the upcoming Oddworld (best type of remake with full graphics overhaul but still extremely true to original art and gameplay), and Binding of Issac (an 8 bit to 16 bit upgrade!!!)
0. Ranking as the worst/lowest of these are what I call 'Bastardizations', which they can ask what ever they want for but no one should ever buy. An example is the recent flashback game. These remakes somehow miss all the magical elements that made the originals so great, diminish the originals value due to their very existence, and effectively chew up and spit out child hood memories.
My personal request list-
Metroid Prime 1-3 HD collection (full hd with upgraded lighting, art, etc, pretty pretty please)
Super Metroid ultimate HD 2.5d remade edition (thinking the new oddworld as a template)
Ghouls n Ghosts and Super ghouls and Ghosts super HD remade 2.5 edition
Red Dead HD
Journey (obviously coming although maybe delayed to become vr upgrade instead)
Killzone 2 (seriously, it's their best game so far, 1080p 60 fps would be great!)
Mario Galaxy HD collection
ICO/Shadow remake

Now get it on with Dark Souls 2, and a Street Fighter 4 port, and you have a new customer, Sony...

So is this going to be censored in Europe again? I refused to buy this on PS3 because of the censorship.
You can always make a US account and purchase it with Amazon PSN cards.
I hope the Multiplayer gets more love from the gamers. It was criminally underrated IMO.
I've never experienced a more immersive, tactiful, and brutal multiplayer in a video game.
Working together with a team that had mics was so satisfying. It was a good balance of rewarding players for having twitchy skills, but also for being tacticians.
Can't wait. I hope they add some sort of standard xp/level up system. I say this because once you unlocked all of the hats/masks, there wasn't any real incentive to perform better than "just enough" for the W.

I think in this instance it means they had 60fps as a goal when they started ps4 development. I don't think it's like driveclub, where it seems like hitting 60 is a bonus and they're not fussed either way. Neil must be confident of hitting the target or he wouldn't have said anything on twitter; buy of course he's not 100% confident just yet.
The game is not even a year old. It's also a first party exclusive, which tend to stick to higher price tags for longer. This also has all the additional content and -hopefully- worthwhile upgrades.
Been off GAF for a couple of days. What leak are you talking about that might have led Sony to confirm sooner rather than later?
Also, I hope they have a digital upgrade like with BF4 etc. I don't expect they will, but it'd encourage double dippers. I already have the digital PS3 version from when it was on sale, and would happily double dip for £20. Full price for those new to playstation is fair enough IMO, but they'll lose some sales from those that have already played it

What's the problem? They take what they can get! For people who have not played it, it is well worth the price (and $15) below the original prices.
All those who have already played it either buy it day one to support ND or they can wait for a price drop to play it again (I sure can).
What is this stupid "it is less effort to m ake, so it must be cheaper"? Full price games range from a few hundred thousand bucks to make to a few ten million and nobody asks why they are the same price.

Can't wait for this. I couldn't play TLOU because it would crash my original 60gb every time I tried to play. So the chance to play on ps4 is great

These pre order bonuses sound aweful. I would pre-order if they didnt buff the player that doesnt need to get buffed.
I think this is a pretty good strategy of releasing remastered ports at 60$. Companies get customers (60$ per copy) who were buying the game day 1 regardless of the price and then after some time when they give discount remaining customers hop in. Plus it also gives more freedom to make discounts look appealing. Like 50% off - 30$ only. But if the base price was actually 30$ then they wouldn't have that option. Overall good strategy for the companies
