Have the giraffes broken into the compound and murdered the doctors yet? If not, you've still got a good hour left in the game.

'The Last of Us: Remastered' coming to PS4, July 2014, [1080p, targeting 60 fps]
- Thread starter S¡mon
- Start date
Considering its one of the best games ever made its worth playing at least twice for the story alone.
Depends on what you like playing for I guess.
Chances are you missed a good amount of optional dialogue and artifacts in the first playthrough, even if you're pretty thorough.
The campaign doesn't branch though, so it's up to you to shake things up gameplay-wise. I've played the game on all available difficulty levels when the game launched and they encourage very different styles of play (EASY telling you to light everybody up like a monster and SURVIVOR being a incredibly tense stealth game).
:/ gee thanks

He's trolling you.
Would make a helll of an alternative ending.
Kinda depends, but if you like to explore I would say easily 14-16 hours. You could just blow through the game a lot quicker than that if you wanted though.

Why are people worrying that we haven't seen gameplay? We didn't see the MP until literally a few days before TLOU's release and it turned out to be some of the best MP on PS3
If we're already talking animals:
I was seriously terrified that I would have to fight the monkeys in the university. I was so glad when I didn't have to.

with wallhack mode turned off. IT'S THE ONLY WAY.
Why do people keep asking for TLOU gameplay? Its the same as it was on PS3 only prettier and 60 frizames
People want to see the upgrades from the PS3.
By this point I think most of us expected an official in-depth comparison video.

ND are in crunch mode to meet the deadline so I wouldn't expect anything until near the release date.

Isn't that just Survivor difficulty?
Which is the best difficulty
Hate it when devs lock difficulty modes.... WHY?????
Had no idea you could turn of listening mode in other difficulties.
Feel like I've used the word difficulty too many times...
Amen brother.
The digital version supports pre-load right? According to this blog post any game up for pre-order from May 20 onwards will support it.

It will not support pre-load because they started taking pre-orders before May 20th for this game.
Elsewhere they said Destiny in early September will be the first game to support it.
Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark will be the first.

I replayed it twice immediately and I'm going to replay it again. For me, I went from normal without listen mode to survivor. The game changed pretty dramatically.
The thing that gives it replay value is the depth of the combat system. After your first playthrough you've gotten really good at the mechanics and using all the tricks you've learned in the campaing from the get go second time around makes the earlier encounters much more satisfying.
I'd say that a difficulty hike is probably necessary for the second time to be satisfying though. Fortunately, they've got normal, hard, survivor, grounded, so that's probably not going to be an issue.
That said, it's a pretty long game anyway. Between 15-20 first time around, not counting the DLC. Which is easily 2 hours.

Have they said if the PS3 Season Pass will carry over to the PS4 version for the content not included on the disk? Or will that content be free for the PS4 version as a later download?
Gave it a try once and have never had it on since.
Really goes against the survival aspect of the game.

could never
Huge Gearhead, will gladly play with any gaffer in the MP. Will add you later.

I didn’t want to make another thread.......but is anyone in here interested in joining a boosting session to get the 8 silver DLC trophies for the multiplayer for the PS3 version? We need 8 people and already have 4, so another 4 is needed. We’re gonna do Survivors and let team 2 run in the middle of the map and then let each person from team 1 get 4 kills each round. That will happen for the 8 maps and then the roles will reverse. It’s gonna happen at 8:00am Melbourne time - which is exactly 10 hours from this post. Let me know ASAP if you want in.
Listen Mode is permanently turned off in Grounded Mode...Ha you scrubs can keep your Listen Mode off. I don't need heart attacks every 5 seconds in Grounded Mode from a random clicker walking around the corner behind me.
My poor nerves. I might just make a Let's Play GAF style of me going through the gme and screaming like a girl lol.

Well except for the insults, I agree with this statement. The game is greatly enhanced by the lack of listen mode.

So having never played this once, what I'm reading is that I should play it on hard and with this listen mode turned off. This about right?
I'm assuming the game is then scary ala survival horror too?

lol I normally don't scare easy in real life, but games like Outlast and Penumbra freak me out.

It's the only way to really enjoy the game and feel the tension. Amazing stuff.

i wouldn't say scary. but it adds some tension to the game. turning off the listen mode makes you pay more attention to your surroundings and how the AI behave. I think the grounded mode is more intense in regards to being scary

It's much more of a third person shooter/stealth game than a horror game. I've beaten the game three times on normal difficulty. Don't even fancy trying hard. Hard/survivor/grounded difficulties, first and foremost, deny the player ammo and supplies. Call me a noob but I really enjoy blasting enemies with the shotgun or getting a nice headshot with the rifle or stealth-ing a section with the bow or setting a group on fire with a molotov.. That's what's fun to me. I do enjoy the challenge of higher difficulties for certain games, but TLoU isn't one of them. And it's not like you are forced to use listen mode.
TL;DR: Playing TLoU on harder difficulties mostly seems to deny the player the very supplies which make the game more fun for me.

I respect that. I find it more fun not knowing what's around the corner!

Being short on supplies made the game much better for me. Different strokes etc...
