It looks good. I'll likely play it. However, I can't pretend that I'm not disappointed that ND's first three games on PS5 are remasters/remakes of games they already released on PS4. They used to drop a new IP every gen - they've now been rinsing the same two IPs for three generations straight and the overlap between the two has only gotten bigger - bung some crafting into Uncharted and some wall climbing into TLOU and we're basically there.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Going by the many randoms pics comparing the games, the remake has much better character models, but the old game has better background detail.

 

[Swift_Star]

The difference is night and day. Good shit.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

At the rate Sony is churning out these remakes and remasters, I wouldn't be surprised if PS6 launches with a TLoU Re-Remastered edition. This is getting ridiculous lmao.

 

[Banjo64]

why does he look so meek in the remaster lmao

As part of the story he’s now transitioning.

Wtf?

It's called inflation buddy.

ummm I enjoyed the first game a lot but I dont think I need remake/remaster version of it on PS5, I mean I already have the Remaster version that I can play on my PS5.

Resident Evil 4 Remake, now thats way more exciting.

And RE4 is an ACTUAL remake.

 

[Swift_Star]

Ok, maybe I'm over-exaggerating. But I still say this: gameplay in ND games is just okay. The shooting, cover system, climbing, stealth... it's all just serviceable. It's the story and characters that elevate them.

Stop trolling the thread, nobody cares you don’t like this game and ND gameplay.

 

[kyussman]

Hope they update with more LGBTQIA+ representation.

 

[adamsapple]

Some areas look better, some look only slightly touched up.

 

[Punished Miku]

This is 100% a remake as well. Just a much less ambitious one.

Given the trend, it would be more surprising if they didn't.

I'm surprised they dont re-do other franchises. It seems LoU they like redoing as a main priority. They got other franchises they can remaster for the first time. I guess LoU is such a big seller, might as well do it again (like how every time a new movie format comes out Terminator 2 is always one of the first to get redone). Also, sincre they are focusing on PC a lot, a LoU 1 remaster will lead into LoU 2 on PC. So kill two birds with one stone.

No, it's not a remake. Remaster 2.0 is a much better word for it.

 

[ParaSeoul]

This is an RE1 to RE1 remake level jump,with the AI improvements and gore system,its next gen.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Bruh!

Watch the trailer.

 

[Danjin44]

And RE4 is an ACTUAL remake.

That’s my point, it’s RE4R is just way more exciting, I already played first TLOU multiple times, I just don’t feel I need to drop that much money for this.

Also just love RE4 waaaay more than TLOU

Uncharted is oversaturated for sure. TLOU only has two games so it's not at all.

I'd be making a new IP and more TLOU going forward which I'm sure is what they will do.

Hell some studios only make games within the same IP across every generation.

 

[remember_spinal]

Lol at slightly, thats clearly a huge generation apart in almost every way

 

[Gone]

FUCK that price.

 

[DeepEnigma]

It is, no matter how you feel about it.

Remade from the ground up for the PS5.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Stop trolling the thread, nobody cares you don’t like this game and ND gameplay.

Ironically, it's one of my favourite video games ever. Just not for the gameplay. Gameplay sucks. Shooting? Meh. Stealth? Joke. Environmental puzzles? LOL. Exploration? What exploration?

Story, characters, graphics, cinematics, music (OMG the Gustavo Santaolalla score!), atmosphere. It's all amazing.

If you don't care about my opinion just ignore me and STFU.

 

[Punished Miku]

Sure, if that extra +1 means remaking it.

 

[stn]

I started the remake on PS4, but I'll wait for this perhaps.

 

[GymWolf]

Cool, I'll bite, but what I really want is Factions.

Curious to see those gameplay innovations.

Probably the improvements from tlou2?! maybe refined a little.

 

[R6Rider]

Lol at slightly, thats clearly a huge generation apart in almost every way

Not to mention one is pre-rendered and running at 30fps, while the other is in-engine and 60fps.

 

[Godot25]

Nope. It's called "those dumb-asses will buy it anyway"

Like look at those screenshots. If you want to justify price tag of full AAA game with remake that barely looks better and is missing multiplayer from OG game, then I don't know what to tell you

 

[Faithless83]

Is a business.

...that does a horrible job at catering to their fan base. Only a moron (or someone that deep in the SJW hole) would deliberately choose to divide their fan base.
Netflix is doing a 180º on that attitude... games take a lot longer to be affected by this kind of thing due to how long the development takes.

 

[3liteDragon]

holy shit the salt...pc day one. that nvidia leak, qhose questioning it now?

It’s coming to PC in 2023, not a day one release.

LOL if you actually believe this.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

This is what happens when you remaster a game one year after it's original release and then again 9 years after original release. Diminishing returns until people start to question whether there was any improvement at all. Definitely not $70 worth of improvements in my book.

 

[adamsapple]

No, but it's ok if it feels like that to you.

No, sorry, I meant day 1 for me on PC.

 

[DeepEnigma]

"Remade from the ground up for the PS5."

I do, because I know how game development works when it comes to stripped down source code after games get locked for gold.

 

[Stuart360]

I dont think there is a problem with what i would call 'landmark' games, or potential games of that generation, which imo this game was, at the time anyway, same with games like Skyrim, Red Dead, Halo 1, and maybe 2 or 3 others.
It keeps the games relevant, and 'current'.
I just kind of hope TLOU2 gets made into a Ellie nightmare or something, 80'S TV show style, before any potential 3rd game lol.

 

[Swift_Star]

Funny people are shitting over this and they shit over FF7RE for not being faithful and for being ambitious.
People are never happy, never!

Or they just change narrative when it fits them better.

 

[omegasc]

Looks like Part 2 engine reworked from the ground up to PS5. Can't resist: I'll probably go infected and bite.
edit: can't wait to compare the loadings, O the loadings (too much Elden Ring)

 

[mortal]

Some areas look better, some look only slightly touched up.

Still it's rather impressive that the remake, running in realtime at 60fps, looks noticeably better than the original's pre-rendered cutscenes tbh
Also, I didn't realize just how stylized the character models were in Part 1 until now. Their proportions sort of look odd in comparison lol

 

[Punished Miku]

It's called inflation buddy.

I think the sub services are much better priced for the upcoming recession. When gas, food and rent keep going up, $70 games are going to look pretty stupid imho. People are re-evaluating their expenses and dropping even the subs now like Netflix if they don't stay interesting.

Now's the time to invest in fish sticks and those $1.50 tostinos frozen pizzas. The market's going to explode.

TIL improving character models and textures is considered a remake and not a remaster. Thank you for the lesson.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

No, but it's ok if it feels like that to you.

Just stop lol

 

[CosmicComet]

Looking at some more comparisons and it does actually look better than the original but not actually a great thing, the original just looked slightly better in memory than in actuality.

The main characters look comparable. If anything I think Joel looks weaker and more timid now in his eyes. But the clickers got a huge upgrade.

Everything else is maybe...idk...15% better.

Not a PS5 looking game by any means and certainly better not take Ragnarok's slot this year.
