PS4 version would be the much better deal since it includes Left Behind plus all the enhancements.

Yeah, absolutely and I'm (probably) getting it day 1. I meant that if I'll really like it, I might also get the PS3 version down the line, for really cheap (like 10€, used), just to see how the game played and looked like originally.
 
Any trophy hunters here hoping they change some of the trophies? Specifically the terrible DLC ones. Get 3 downs or kills without dying was so terrible. Most people just boosted these.

No. It just starts flickering again in a matter of seconds. Maybe it's been patched one way or the other at some point? It was like this in February iirc.

You must have been unlucky. It took me 10 more minutes of exploring before it happened to me, every time I did it.

It didn't work for me when I used my PS4 controller. I doubt they would have patched it either.

Well, when you connect your PS4 controller to your PS3, its Sixaxis function is lost.

This'll sound odd, but I can't wait for this year to be over. I want to have games like this in my collection already! Haha.

What I mean is, when I bought a PS4 I was looking forward to 5 games the most (that I knew or figured would come out in the 1st year of the console):
Killzone: Shadow Fall
InFAMOUS: Second Son
DriveClub
and the possibility of GTA V and TLOU ports. So far, 8 months into the system, I've only played 2 of 5 and I want my collection of awesome PS4 games! ;)

Not bitching at all, just saying I can't wait to play those 3 other games and then be able to go back to them whenever I want.
 
Ok... ya know what? I'm starting to get a little annoyed by this thread being bumped and Naughtydog not releasing any gameplay footage when the game is weeks away from going gold. That's fucking bizarre shit.

I'm not in "Are they even still on for the July release?" mode yet... but I'm getting there.


The question is why is this?!

They promised better textures, better lighting, better shadows, better ingame models and many more graphical improvements, and said that the PS4 version isn`t just a straight up port of the PS3 version at 1080p and 60 frames.

They said they will show us this over the coming month... so here we are, one month from release and we still haven`t seen one ingame gameplay pic or let alone a gameplay video to show us the "improvements".

All they are showing are cutscenes. Why?

My guess: in the end it appears that this project will be indeed just a straight up port of the PS3 version with just a resolution and framerate bump and better ingame models despite their claim.

Next month we will know for sure, but it would be shame if they - as a first party studio - couldn`t match the effort SE put into TR:DE and R* appears to be doing with GTA5.

There is gameplay on the trailer released.
 
I don't know if I should pre-order this digitally (I won't be able to play it until after summer as I'm going away for pretty much the whole thing) or wait until I get back (and buy it digital then).

Are the pre-order bonuses worth it, in people's opinions?

Anyone feel a delay imminent? Not a huge delay but maybe a few weeks to push it to August? It's a bit weird we don't have any footage really besides that cut scene or any more game play of the ps4 version just a little over a month away.

I don't think so. Only thing I'm curious about are the extra skins but everything else is almost worthless.

Yeah, I'm a sucker for extra skins but then I don't know if it's worth pre-ordering. I guess it'll probably still be $50 digital in August though, so I might as well just get it early.

Wait until you get back just in case the game goes on sale before you actually get a chance to play it.

As for the bonuses, they're mostly early unlocks you can still earn in game by playing and unlocking them. The only thing you might not be able to earn by playing is the preorder skins for SP, but the game already includes several different SP outfits so I don't think it's a big loss if you don't get them.
 
literally only a couple of seconds of gameplay in that e3 trailer.

yeah pretty average preoder bonuses but the games great regardless

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
When is this due now again? Is it in OP? I'm on mobile

If you're on mobile wouldn't it just be quicker to check the OP?
No I meant to say a shitty, shitty phone. Takes ages (and crashes) to open new pages.

It's scares me a lot that we're roughly one month away from release and we've seen nothing of actual gameplay comparison from the PS3 version. Really frightened.

Actually trying to platinum TLOU PS3 before remastered. Just multi player trophies to go, not as bad as I thought.

Annoying it seems they'll be no discount for existing TLOU owners, which is disappointing indeed. Keeping my disc for now in case they announce something, but if not will probably sell it when remastered is out.

This is naughty dog, so I have faith in them, but little concerned about this port. They themselves have said it's been hell and haven't seen actual gameplay yet. We've seen in game cutscenes I think, but still. Hope to be impressed with it anyway.

Juniors fucking annoy me a lot these days. Whenever there's that one post that I smh at, it's always a junior now
I'd agree, but then there are posts like this.


I share your concerns,

n0tail. Makes you think it might not be all that great if they won't even show it. But I think the biggest reason is Youtube compression with 30fps, because 99% of people would watch it that way no matter where they upload and that's going to make it look underwhelming.
 
I reckon Sony just realize that all the marketing and word of mouth for the PS3 version has done the job and they can ride that and minimize the marketing bill on the remaster to increase profits. I really don't expect much coverage on this until it actually releases. Not really worried, that said I'm not preordering because I feel no need to and it doesn't hurt to be safe. I'm sure DF will be on it within a day to confirm/deny that 60fps.

Given that it seemingly takes up to two weeks for Sony's PR team to clear a clip (Driveclub) ND could submit today and we'd not see it until mid-July.

Also agree with poster above about saving on marketing costs.
 
It's a bit weird, yeah. Did they manage to hit 60fps? Were there any significant improvements to textures, lighting, etc?
Would be nice to know these things.
Not worried though, ND are doing the port themselves and they're not going to get sloppy with their baby.

Trying to cope with being hyped about the remastered version, I went back to see the E3 presentation of this wonderful game back in 2012...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbLOokeC3VU

How can they ever top this presentation?? I mean its just perfectly demoed, from the music, the action, the tension, everything! I remember being completely floored upon watching this over and over and over again.

Even now when watching it I get goosebumps... what an awesome game!
