The Last of Us Part I Rebuilt for PS5 - Features and Gameplay Trailer

The only thing who pissed me more than the Joel fate, was the whole story. It's stupid as hell and outside the Ellie dramas, it doesn't add nothing more of interesting to the TLOU universe. That's really something I can't still swallow easily and I haven't big hope for the eventual sequel. I don't like how Neil leaded the narrative of this series.
I’m a Joel Edition owner, I skipped Part 2, so that’s how interested I am in the current story arch lol
But I’ll try it when it comes to PS+.

I like the TLOU universe though. I just wish they went back to what made it interesting in the first place. Revenge isn’t that interesting.

What information are you going off to make such a statement? This according to ND has been rebuilt for PS5 nothing to suggest it's not using there next gen engine. That's not to say there next release won't look better though.
It's built in last of us part 2 core technology engine that's not mean It didn't look better what I mean naughty dog not implement next gen technologies like ray tracing refelections , rt global illumination and mesh shades yet and this will make huge difference for their engine

I should expect to see better graphics in a PS5 only title from Naughty Dog.

This is not cross gen, it's not a launch title, is not a new IP or a sequel, it's a remake of a remastered.

I can't believe this. Can ps5 hardware achieve a better result than this or what?

"Half the people" on one page, even if true, does not consist of the "board". Somehow suggesting this game is being getting positive feedback overall unlike Ubisoft or Redfall is just nonsense.
Half the people on the page, in the thread, online, whatever.

It's getting far better reception than something like Far Cry 6.
 
It sold about a million more copies than the new ip ghost of tsushima in 2 years so 10. Odd million vs 9.75....

Not what Sony expected I don't think.
Yes Sony is upset GoT was also very popular. Sony was clearly expecting Animal Crossing numbers.
If I were Sony, I’d be making this a Day One release on PS Plus Premium.

It just does not justify its price tag on Playstation.

At all.
Yes because Sony will struggle selling 3 million copies of this game.
Also Ellie looks to have gone down a cup size or two, not that that matters as she fits more with here age and body shape in 2.
And they expect you to drop 70$?
 
I am not understanding why people are complaining about the gameplay. The main upgrade from TLOU1 to 2 is the AI and motion matching for melee

Maybe the melee isn’t as robust but that’s literally all I see that’s not up to tlou2 quality

Don't feel like watching Cuckman. Can somebody please give me a TL;DW on the actual gameplay aspects of this remake?
- Motion Matching from TLOU2 is in.
- Better NPC AI and Enemy AI routines are in.
- Weapon Upgrade Desk animations are in
- Better physics destruction

Everything else is the same gameplay wise. No dodging. No enhanced melee. No prone. No jumping. No enemy callouts. Animations look identical despite motion matching being in probably because of the lack of the better melee animations.

People who are saying that it looks no different to the original game sound equally as stupid as people that are praising the graphics of the remake like we haven't seen anything like it before and we all should be impressed. This is taken on my PS5 yesterday (yes, I'm slowly making my way through TLOU2):

Remind me again. How is this remake impressive? It looks no better than a 2 year old game designed around limitations of a hardware that's almost a decade old. If anything, this remake only makes TLOU2 more impressive. I've certainly found a new appreciation for TLOU2.

I agree.

The game looks good, but I don’t see anything hugely different from tlou2

So it’s honestly disingenuous for them to market this as a ground up redesign for ps5

That is not true whatsoever. Asset quality looks based on ps4.

A true ground up ps5 title would look significantly richer in terms of detail, like UE5

Knowing that the top is pre-rendered and the bottom is the game engine running in realtime at 60fps, makes it that more impressive. Maybe I'm just easy to please 🤷‍♂️
Naughty Dog's character artists really are amazing and having TLOU have the same fidelity as part II is pleasing to see imo.

Do people even realize the amount of skill and time it takes to make and animate character models with this much detail?
I expect indifference from normies, but seeing such a lack of appreciation for the craft on a gaming enthusiast forum like Gaf is surprising tbh.

A ps5 native game from ND would make look horizon 2 and ratchet like last gen titles...

10 M selling .. thats great.. at least if you were not expecting to sell 15 - 20 million ... not saying thats the case ...

Yeah... then you can stop right there I guess.

The sales numbers of TLOU1 -- being available on 3 consoles, included in bundles for years, etc -- have little to do with the huge financial and critical success that is TLOU2, which made it a huge success. You don't have to like it, but that is reality. So someone coming in and calling it a disaster is a complete joke.

Be mad about it, whatever... but don't say or defend idiotic statements in public; it's an embarrassment to all involved.

Maybe it was those two things that made TLOU2's combat feel so special?

I love watching Sunhi and Much gifs on twitter because they show off just how amazing the combat feels in TLOU2.





Nothing they showed today in this carefully crafted PR video or in the leak even comes close to this.

Uh, well there's no way I'm paying the asking price for just that.

Only gameplay related feature I see there is the AI. Which is cool they updated but yeah... It's not very much compared to what they could have actually done.

Seeing Abby in action makes this hurt even more.

Nothing they have shown so far looks as good as TLOU2. I dont even think it looks on par. The levels in TLOU2 are also huge compared to the small arenas in TLOU1 and Im not even talking about the Seattle open world level.

Granted TLOU2 had some ugly looking sections but they were limited to Abby's campaign which was supposedly rewritten and redesigned at the last minute. But yes, anyone saying there is no upgrade from TLOU remaster is nuts. I am also in the mood to replay TLOU2 again after seeing this game. All of a sudden I appreciate that game a lot more lol.

It sucks that this game is getting a native 4k 40 fps mode and not TLOU2 which is the far superior game gameplay wise. ND sucks so much lol

Posted these gameplay screenshots in the Graphics Tech thread when it first opened late last year. Looks better than anything in the trailer.

Why? Her style of combat was much better than edgie.

She was basically (fe)male joel but with bigger biceps.
Yeah, I loved her combat moves. Especially the momentum upgrade which turns her into the fucking Terminator. Melee takedown after Melee takedown. It's glorious.

It also helps that she has the best weapons in the game. Fire shotty, flamethrower, Assault Rifle. I just turn on infinite ammo, set enemy AI and player health to crushing and start taking names. If only the game didnt take 2 minutes to load Encounters from the main menu i would play it a lot more. Shocking they never released a PS5 sku if only to improve loading times.

The rather interesting thing about all this drama going on right now, is seeing people all of a sudden find newfound praise for TLoU2's stellar gameplay.

Don't start again. You don't want to get your posts deleted, again. :messenger_grinning_sweat: Honk, honk, right?

You're probably right. The world of TLOU1 suffer from some of the most archaic, linear game design. And since they haven't changed any level geometry for the remake, it will never be as impressive as more believable open areas of TLOU2.

Do you think sex is bad or something?
That's gotta be why this is such a meme, right? Those posting memes about it all think sex is bad? That's GOTTA be it! Not that it is cheesy as hell or anything. Nah. It's the sex is bad crowd at it again!

I think i prefer Edgie fire weapons more.

Bow over crossbow for life.

Exactly. If they're going to sell this redundant remaster for 70$ then, like you said, a 2 year old game designed around limitations of a hardware that's almost a decade old which stupidly is the one they develop, then this remaster should look noticeably better (not worse) as this is an exclusive using your powerful PS5 with all the bullshit "We were limited by technology" talk in the trailer video. Also if you are selling this remaster at 70$ you should put the effort to change the gameplay to your previous game that plays better and not cheap out behind "Faithfully created." If that's the reason why you didn't change the gameplay then don't change the graphics to make it truly faithful. No matter how I think of this remaster, it is a cheap, bring our tech to PS5 quick cash grab. Sony track record with things like Destruction Allstars magically turning value from 70$ to PS+ doesn't make it any better.

If anything this trailer reinforces how unnecessary this remake is. They've included some direct gameplay comparisons and while it obviously looks nicer on Ps5 what really stands out to me is how completely fine the original remaster still looks. Ps3 era games that already got remastered don't really need remakes, specially those that were already among the best looking games back then.

If companies will waste time on remakes at least go back to the Ps2 era an earlier, bring back games that aren't easily available on modern platforms and where the visual upgrade is truly transformative

I really hope this is just a one off thing to cash in on the Pc market with one of their most popular franchises and not something that becomes a trend at Sony.
