Yet it's still $70 in Canada :/

We had the E3 preorder deals online at Futureshop, Bestbuy and Amazon, I'm sorry you missed it man. The $70 is still obscene though, we have to hope the damn Canadian dollar rebounds next year (our head bank guy seems hellbent on keeping it low for "rebounding the economy").

Did any of you jump for the $49.99 Amazon price? I didn't think I'd pick it up on day 1 but that's not a bad price for the best version of the Last of Us.

Thanks for sharing. I just pre-ordered. Really looking forward to playing through it again.

Yeah but on the PS4 it's gonna be R2. R1 works for the PS3 cause the triggers are terribad.

The R2 on DS3 is bad but I just always find it best on R1 anyway. Its easier to use my middle finger to use the R2/L2 or move my index fingers down and quickly back up. I always found it uncomfortable/odd to hold the R2 for trigger and move my hands upward to use the R1 for secondary commands.

Having the the trigger be R2 also means zoom is on L2 which I despise even more.

Actually I wish controls were profile specific to your console. Set your preferred FPS/TPS control scheme, save it to your gamertag profile, let game find your profile and load your preferred controls.

Its different for everyone but after years of using R1 I hated having to be forced to use R2.

R1 trigger fire for life... I hate when games make the R2 the default.

Have you only ever used the terrible Dualshock 3 controller? because on the DS4 using R2 is fine.

When allowed I always switched it back to R1. Maybe its an xbox controller preference people have with the R2 as a trigger but to me its just a button, especially with non shooters. Placing index fingers on R1/L1 for trigger and zoom is just better for me. I bought the DS3 trigger attachments but I still don't prefer it for shooting, it just makes using that button easier.

Still 59.99 on Digital PSN store...this is bull. I watched a multiplayer video and it sorta reminds me of Gears of War ish without the rolling around.

The multiplayer is a lot different than Gears. It's slower and more stealth related. You die pretty quickly so you don't want to start a shootout. You have your team flank while you keep attention. That being said, buy TLoU for its single player and then try the multiplayer and continue if you like it.

I completed the PS3 version five times. I cant wait to play it again on the PS4 but I really hope they add something more for offline replay value. The game mechanics are what make it so enjoyable so even a few 'arena' style maps where you get to take out the various infected would be great.

It'll be great if they gave the option to swap the triggers and buttons.

Pretty much. Corrine Yu tweeted how she was working to make it average above 60 so it looks like they're pushing for capping it at 60 with no drops.
She just said past 60fps.

And this is a stupid thing, imho.
They could just place it in the proper place.
Left Behind is in the right place standalone. Mixing it in with the original game would damage the pacing and confuse Joel and Ellie's story.

I think they reduced it. On Gamestop when it is temporary they usually show the original price with a slash through it and the sale price right next to it. This looks like the regular price.

On Amazon they had the slashed price visual up until a few hours ago, too.

Amazon price is great, but I'll be trading in the original TLOU for Remastered. Hopefully GS will hook me up with a credit of over ten dollhairs.

I don't understand why people keep freaking out over the "spoilers". It's just like a movie trailer, without context you don't really know what you're watching.

The only reason they put "This trailer contains spoilers" is so no one can blame them if they get upset.

It's just like when people were pissed off that the first teaser showed the (spoiler tagging only for the sensitive)
giraffe
scene. I had seen it many times before playing in reviews/trailers/whatever and it did nothing to affect my playthrough, because the only reason it has any meaning/resonance with the player is the context in game.

I didn't know I'd ever play the game so I watched Rev3Games' Spoiled Games discussion on the game, so I knew about a couple of twists
aka David
and again, it didn't affect my playthrough at all (I forgot a good amount of the stuff after watching too). The gameplay is still awesome and it's still a physically and emotionally draining experience. I hate spoilers as much as anybody but it's a bummer when people freak out as if they've totally ruined the game for people, which could potentially make someone choose not to play it

My PS4 is ready for July 29th

They could have (and should have) released an actual gameplay trailer so that we can see what we're spending money on. Instead they released a trailer composed of just about every pertinent spoiler in the game. In or out of context, there are much better ways to showcase a game. I love ND and I preordered the remaster the second it was available on Amazon, but it's crazy that we're 5 weeks out and still haven't seen any gameplay. At least release a mp gameplay trailer.

I only have $50 right now, we have to ask Arne to pressure Sony lols.

Seriously I'm only going digital this gen and price matching needs to happen on the digital store.Plus isn't amazon suppose to have a digital store also and I can't find it digitally on amazon.

The only reason to aim for above 60 on HDMI is if you're going to lock it there.
I took issue with the word "average" which suggests more than she actually said.

For example, with internal measurements on an uncapped framerate, averaging 60 could mean it spends significant time sub-60 but spikes well above averaging out to 60.

OK, sorry. Edited. I was just trying to make it clear what the point of aiming above 60 was since I've seen a lot of people freak out when they see hear that.

helped a brotha out on multiple separate occasions!
Will this include all the DLC content?
The latest blog post makes it sound like the MP cosmetic DLC items and the DLC MP skills are not included in the game and are instead cross buy DLC.

The trailer is full 1080p and rendered in 60fps, which is what we’re targeting for the game. We’re working on various improvements such as higher resolution character models, improved lighting and shadows, upgraded textures, functionality unique to the PS4 controller and more. You’ll get the complete The Last of Us experience as the PS4 version includes the highest rated DLC exclusive to PlayStation, Left Behind, all difficulty modes (including Grounded Mode the newest, hardest difficulty level) for single player and both our multiplayer map packs, Abandoned Territories and Reclaimed Territories.

We recently announced that it’ll be a level playing field in Factions mode as player progress from The Last of Us PS3 multiplayer will not carry over to the PS4 version. However PS3 players will be getting a supply bonus to give their progression a boost. We can now also say that all current DLC content – head items, weapons, and survival skills – that you have purchased for PS3 will be available for you in the PS4 version. So check out the latest DLC if you haven’t yet.

Not available yet but it might be eventually. I'm frustrated same as you because I am not interested in buying disc-based games anymore. I just want digital titles. I decided to buy a Sony rewards card which I can use on the PSN store.
