Man people in this Thread complaining about a $10 upgrade make me want to purchase the WLF version just out of spite, and God only knows how much I hated this fucking game..
All the more ridiculous considering the game received a free 60fps upgrade already.
New mode sounds great, it's going to be super fun with this game's combat and it could and imo totally should replace that resource/talent pit of Factions 2.
Lost Levels also sound interesting, was hoping for them to be integrated into the game but it's actually no big deal as my Grounded run already lasted 100 hours in the original.
Not even sure I want to replay the actual game but I'll try the new content no doubt.
A complete "Remaster" with new assets/lighting/textures would only destroy the meticulously crafted visuals/aesthetic. Game already looks like this ffs:
Loved to see a mention of improved shadows for instance, those PCSS in the Part I Remake were the most welcome improvement over Part II.

This game only really needed LOD improvements to fix the 60fps Patch issues, and they apparently did that along with other minor things here and there:

A remaster of a ps 4 game and they didn't even bother about adding a RT mode? Pathetic
Did they upgrade the graphics to pre downgrade trailer levels or did they go the lazy resolution increase road? There should honestly be no excuses for this not to reach those trailer graphics on the ps5, even just a simple gi bounce upgrade would be transformative for the game considering the gi inconsistency is its only real weakness.

Yeah, but you know how things work with "exclusive" games. Frustrated people around all the time is par for the course.
Screenshots aren't copyrighted by the way, feel free to share them whenever you want.

I dunno why you got that impression. Its clearly a timeline of individual game releases, not an indicator of whether or not they were occupied with work in between those years up to now. So, no. The point still stands. I can rephrase it and state they have factually not been releasing new ideas in the form of new video game releases as consistently as they used to if that pleases you.
That's fair and this criticism was strictly aimed at Rockstar. Dforce alleged noone, apparently, had any issues with the current state of Rockstar's creativity and I decided to refute him on that case. However, it should ring some alarm bells more than anything that its such a widespread problem across the industry instead of people passively sitting by and accepting it as the new status quo. I'm generally against this slump in risk and creativity all around.
If anything, the major profits should exactly prove to you that they aren't going into funding new and risky game ideas like they used. They could very likely afford to take make fresh new ideas, but they don't. Next game they got on their cards is likely GTAVI which I wouldn't deem a risky fresh idea at all. It'll still likely have some technological feats like shrinking horse testicles, I'm sure. You might think this is good for Rockstar, but I believe I speak for a subset of gamers, as fans of their prior works and history, when I say we're not thrilled about their situation.
Hey, at least you get to revel in the fact they're raking massive amounts of profit that I assume in no way reach you (I hope). That's a win-win for you, I guess. Anyway, yeah, we've digressed a bit here.

Ohhh baby. The two boxarts. Makes a sick wallpaper
I assume Part III will follow the trend
The Part 2 remaster is easily my fav boxart of the gen.

All these for 10$ upgrade is quite nice and generous actually. I was worried this 'remastered' version would be getting Part I treatment (aka charge for 70$ over small things).
Here's hoping for PC soon.

The situation is a lot different now because of the backwards compatibility. I think one reason why there was less complaints was because many got to play it for the first time. Many Xbox 360 owners bought a PS4 as their next console.

Isn't he the one who killed only likeable character in entire franchise.
And made all females not only ugly but dumb as well.
And now conveniently shifting blame on Sweet Baby Inc.
Yeah man, real scared what he does next.

This is due to the fact that the majority of games came out in the picture when terms like DLC or online mode were still a foreign concept
Back then, you just released games for consoles and that was that. There was not much in the way of updates etc. That did not start until the XBox 360/PS3 era and then developed further and further. And back then, the whole philosophy of developers changed. Suddenly you could support games in the long term and so on and so forth. It is actually well known, I think. Rockstar is doing nothing different with GTA Online. Therefore, this should definitely be taken into account.Of course they could. But if you spend the time and resources that you put into a new IP in RDR2 and now GTA VI, for example, and it then flops, then might as well file for bankruptcy. That is what I meant in my other post. It is simply no longer worth taking the risk for such large companies. Of course, Rockstar could also produce very small and inexpensive games. But I can only imagine the backlash. Games that set new milestones are expected from R*. For years now, fresh, new ideas have only come from the indie scene. At the moment I don't see that this will change in the near future.
Haha, I wish I was on a private island in the Caribbean right now. Instead, I'm sitting in my basement waiting for the GTA VI trailer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Get a grip. I gift people games here all the time.
He can do whatever the fuck he wants with the $10 if he needs it that bad.

PS4 was not backwards compatible with PS3. And even then it was a typical lazy ND effort. Look at the difference between GTA V on PS3 vs. PS4.

The people complaining about this, especially about the $10 upgrade price are crazy. You get a PS5 remaster (I'm guessing with haptics and graphical improvements), new rougelike survival mode, and new costumes yet there are other games charging $10 for an emote. You guys need to get a grip really, they're not asking for much.

Thank you
That’s exactly what I was looking for
(I just meant the trailer made no mention of it when it says, in big words, what was new)

Wait
I might be missing something
In order to get the native PS5 version, we have to buy this PS5 version in January, right?
We can’t just use our PS4 version, pay $10, and get this PS5 version right?

This flyer seems to imply the upgrade path is digital only. Or am i reading this wrong?
$10 would be a small price to pay if i can upgrade my disc. I never got round to playing this so this would be a great release for me.
The update should be free, because we support the game on its launch day or the purchase of its first days and first version.

Hopefully this is the plan for most of previously released ps4 games, like Lost Legacy, Death Stranding and Uncharted Lost Legacy; 10.00$ upgrade for improved visuals and dualsense support. If they wanted to add raytracing, Im sure it would be a bigger job than just adding content to the base game and would cost more.
Now we just need that 10.00$ Bloodborne ps5 upgrade, but its such a big game that remains on one platform, I could see that game getting a full remake since adding 60fps is a mess.

Well that is not completely unreasonable.The update should be free, because we support the game on its launch day or the purchase of its first days and first version.
You and me paid 60$ or the game. Upgrade will be 10$ for us.
But those who got it for 10$ (it was on sale plenty of times) also will have 10$ upgrade path.
But this way of thinking is so full of holes, I dont even know where to start... but yet I feel you

Well colour me fucking nicely surprised. Maybe they learned a lesson after that Part 1 shit they pulled?

I don't get why people are upset about the price. Seems like a decent upgrade with a fun looking new mode.
If you don't think it's worth it just don't upgrade. The normal version is still great and playable at 60fps on Ps5. Hell Sony could have chosen to be scummy and not release a 60fps patch for Ps5 in order to lock the higher frame rate behind this upgrade.
That said I do miss the times when ND did more than release the same games again and again.

I will be suprised if its a new IP. Both Sony and HBO probably want more The Last of Us.

I know and I agree, mine is not a criticism of their speed of development or anything else, I am annoyed by this silence (which in reality applies to almost all PS studios) on future projects. uncharted 4 was announced in 2013 shortly after the release of tlou, here we are 3 years after part 2 and almost halfway through the gen of ps5 and they haven't announced anything "new".
I hope 2024 is the right year for them and other ps studios
good for them, it's not an ideal announcement to make on a very popular stage like tga.
next time they announce something it will have to be up to their standards.
However, I haven't played Part 2 since launch, looking at these screens I still can't understand how they managed to pull off something similar on PS4 (the same goes for RDR2). I think they're even better than all the nextgen titles released so far

TLOU Part 2 is currently $20 at PS direct, btw.
direct.playstation.com
Buy The Last of Us Part II - PS4™ Disc Game | PlayStation® (US)
As Ellie pursues vengeance after a traumatic event, you must confront the devastating physical and emotional repercussions of her actions on PS4.

Read the small print. Disc owners can also upgrade for $10. The "digital only" just means you can't upgrade your PS4 disc to a PS5 disc version. You can upgrade your PS4 disc to a PS5 digital version (which still requires the PS4 disc to be inserted).This flyer seems to imply the upgrade path is digital only. Or am i reading this wrong?
$10 would be a small price to pay if i can upgrade my disc. I never got round to playing this so this would be a great release for me.

If I had a pound for every salty tear in every TLOU thread.
Buncha bigot sandwiches on this website. I never played pt 2 after I saw the leaks and bad word of mouth. I’ll probably check out the PC port unless there is a dirt cheap way to get the ps5 version.
