Definitely a cash grab at this point.

It started off as a VASG project (some Sony Bend people as well), so judging by the visual fidelity, it doesn’t look to be done by most of ND’s main designers.

Not sure why Sony’s former management would approve, or why Sony’s new management would continue with it (along with a $70 tag). I expected at least a Director’s Cut of some sort by now.

It’s definitely not going to bomb tho lol… None of Sony’s shit does when a name this big is attached to it…

That’s the sad part.

I paid $85 for this? TLOU is IMO the best game ever made but this looks exactly like TLOU. There is no visible improvement in the gameplay at all, and honestly it looks kind of awkward, like TLOU 2 graphics with TLOU 1 animations.

I hope they did not outright LIE about "Modernized gameplay" in the description because then I'll do a lot more than just ask for a refund...

Sony's way of making refunds require talking to staff even for a simple pre-order for something not released yet is stupid.
Why are people still calling TLOU the best game ever and then bitching about the lack of gameplay improvements lol. It's not the best game ever and once this releases it will be time to acknowledge that.

Same for God of War Ragnorak. No way the original will live up to the billing of the best game of all time if the sequel is worth anything
 
More leaks:

Ellie looks minimum 8 years older. When was the last time anyone at ND has seen a teenager's face? Or maybe Cuckmann in his brilliance has concluded every teenager looks like they're on Meth these days.

"Yep we did it, everyone looks a decade older and no longer fit their bodies or animations. That'll be 70 bucks for our hard work."

Are you or are you not aware a remake for TLOU 1 already exists? This is a re-remake which just changed the textures compared to the other remake and made them look off as a cherry on top.

Are you not aware of what an opinion is? And do you not understand that one can consider something their favorite without it being perfect in every reguard? Yes i personally consider TLOU to be the best game ever made, but TLOU2 did improve on it in terms of gameplay, and there are clearly games with better graphics now including part 2. None of that changes how i feel about the original.

My "bitching" is about expectations of a "remake" with "modernized gameplay" and of course the asking price.

She just looks like she did in the museum flashback in Part II, which looks perfectly fine lol.

Not to my eye, but if you say so. Maybe a very bad angle + odd expression. However, considering Giraffe Ellie I reserve the right to at least claim the possibility of further facial oddities.

Much rather have a new game or even a new IP instead of the same game for 3 gens in a row. Factions is YEARS late. Come on man
I don't what is going on with Factions truly. Perhaps they're making it into a BR? Other than that no excuse tbh..

I have eyes, besides why would they painstakingly create a younger Ellie model for Part II and not use it here?

Something about this franchise and leaks turns people's brains into mush I swear.
Joel doesn't look like in part 2 flashbacks either. Why? Ask ND. No need to try to be a smartass.

I'm playing the PS4 remaster on PS5 and I'm having a blast. Yes, game design is ancient but the characters are so likeable that I don't care.

It's definitely the best game I have ever played, but ND said themselves about the gameplay improvements, so people have a right to be mad if there's not any, and it's exactly the same gameplay as the original
 
This is getting once again pedantic. I could point out the scraps in the face and changes to the haircoloring and depth of facial structures, but no these are not identical to this trailer. Go to 1:09. Small differences? Yes, but they absolutely make Joe look older too.

I would truly prefer not to do a side by side with arrows, I'd feel very dumb about it, so if you'd concede they're not identical that would be nice. And you're the one who said they're literally the same, not me.

They aren't identical, but the most I clearly make out is a few scraps and a different facial expression, to say he looks way older is a stretch and a half. Of course the only way to know for sure would be two of the exact same scene, because right now I'm not seeing it.

One of the primary reactions (not by me) to the announcement of the Remake was that the characters looked way older than TLOU-1 pre re-remake. Here's a short article with two examples. https://screenrant.com/tlou-remake-joel-ellie-new-looks-bad-good/

Whether by accident or by design this has happened. Not that this is really the main issue at all. The changes only being visual while even being marketed as much more than that is the main issue, while a previous remake already exists.

I'm not talking about the OG tho, I'm talking about the fact that nobody cared about their looks in P2's flashbacks but now it's issue, therefore it feels like manufactured hate out of a complete nothing burger topic. Did these people care about Sully and Drake looking different in every Uncharted game because of new tech?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Weapon Upgrade desk is in.

But thats it. No dodge, no prone, no motion matching, no enhanced AI, no enemy callouts, enhanced melee.

But then again, there is a small chance this is an older build.

I don't think they'll omit or add core game play enhancements between build updates. Those sound like things that should be part of the development from the get go.

Possibly the most idiotic comment I have read in quite some time. Zelda A Link to The Past gameplay mechanics/graphics/puzzles have long been surpassed, but most people would hold it as a masterpiece still...
What an idiotic comment! My brain hurts from the stupidity of the reasoning...

Perhaps because the flashbacks were short? And I can't speak for others so I don't know why they'd only notice it now, other than they're paying more attention to it maybe. But I did dislike during part-2 launch the changes to the faces of the flashbacks already. Especially for the scene where the first game ends where Ellie answers "Okay" since the facial expressions changing completely changes (and retcons) the ending of the first game. And I did think they changed the models too much as well already then.

Nobody is a bit of a stretch, there's a reddit on the changes in P2's prologue.

P2 Prologue changes

In the original ending, in the car on the way back to Jackson, Joel looks grim, determined, and full of concern for Ellie. Like a man who isn't too happy about what just transpired, but who would do everything all over again without a moments hesitation.

But in Part II he suddenly looks dejected, in doubt, almost remorseful, as if he secretly knew that what he did was wrong.

People will shit on me for saying this but......

Nier Replicant 1.22 was bigger upgrade, not only they improved the models and combat but also added mermaid episode and new route which you control Kaine.

And I'm pretty sure budget for Nier Replicant 1.22 was much lower than TLOU Part 1.

They also redid the combat as well with ex-Platinum staff I believe. Dodging and movement is a bit smoother.

TLOU isn't old enough for me to give it a pass for its era. Sony first party is style over substance and like I said, that will be apparent when this releases
