For me personally, the price tag would have been worth it if they had gone the extra mile and upgraded the gameplay with some mechanics from last of us 2, namely the dodge mechanic. The prone I could have done without, since stealth is already pretty decent, but the melee combat and combat in general had much more depth in part 2 which made it so much more fun, so I was really hoping to see that here.

In my opinion, remakes should be reserved for games that fell flat at launch due to the technology of the time not being powerful enough to fully realise the vision, we should be remaking the 5-6/10 cult classics not the 9-10/10 masterpieces that still hold up. Edit: this got way more attention than I thought it would, so I thought I'd just clarify a few things; 1) I'm not saying I personally think TLoU is a 9-10/10 masterpiece, I'm just saying thats the general consensus on the game. 2) since people are replying with their own ideas for cult classic remakes, I thought I'd just share mine.

What about the Resident Evil series? RE1 had flaws but was an instant classic and it had an amazing remake. And RE2/RE3 had remakes that completely altered the gameplay. I agree with you on everything except for games needing to be bad to average for them to benefit from a remake. I think good to great games can still benefit by evolving the gameplay.

Okay, so it’s clear that they put considerable effort into the visuals and such, but I’m not so sure it’s as greatly appreciated as it would’ve been had they chosen to remake a game that DOESN’T hold up when viewed through the modern lens (and I don’t care what anyone says but TLOU Remastered on the PS4 still holds up perfectly AND maintains smooth 60FPS performance). Again, I don’t begrudge anyone that’s a huge TLOU fan and wants to go out and get this. I’ve just already experienced this game enough times that the visual upgrade isn’t enough to entice me to see it through again right now (I may pick it up when it’s relatively cheap just to have-for at whatever future date I DO decide I want to play through TLOU again).

The whole game rely on sound and the sound design is amazing, there is stealth section, combat and a hub area where you walk around and interact based on sound(sound of a smith hamering metal for the gear shop and sounds of people talking for tavern and sounds of church bell for a church) combat is also fully sound based. Basically enemy attack from left front and right, you can block or parry based on timing. You can attack these places too with a light or heavy attack. There is also magic, and archery. The whole game is just a black screen with some particle effect, so you just listen to everything. It's a really really unique and fun game.

I will definitely say that as much as I love the last of us and part 2, the mechanics in part 2, primarily with stealth and combat are immensely better. When I first booted up part 1 I got to the first combat encounter with infected and tried dodging out of the way only to be reminded that this mechanic is not included in this game. I would have liked to see them throw in some new stuff here and there especially for 70 bucks.

To the best of my understanding the "Remake" description just comes from the fact that this is technically an entirely new game made from scratch, just meant to be identical to an older one, as opposed to how remasters are usually taking the old game on the old engine and just updating it. Really the whole argument comes down to whether or not a game is a remaster if it doesn't use any of the old game's files.

This latest remaster was alright, but it was really strange how, out of nowhere, in the middle of the part where Joel is trying to find a run-away Ellie, a text-to-speech version of Troy Baker’s voice came out of nowhere, and said “This reminds me of that time I mercilessly slaughtered all those zebras”, before jarringly teleporting you to a PS2 looking room, full of Zebras, and a “dead zebra” counter in the top right corner of the screen, with the game only returning you to the normal game, once you’ve mercilessly slaughtered all of the zebras, and spat on their corpses, only for the same text-to-speech Troy Baker to say “I truly hate those majestic creatures, and all who would waste their time saving the life of one, and would mercilessly kill any innocent soul who ever saved one of them zebras”, once you teleport back to the actual game. It just kinda came out of nowhere, honestly.

TLOU looked good when it came out and IMO has aged pretty well and the remaster that they’ve already made looked fine. The only plausible reason I can think of for ND “remaking” a game that already looks and plays well is because they’re out of ideas, but they still don’t want to put in any real work. They’ll forever be overshadowed by RE remakes and projects like FF7

Probably one of the main reasons for this getting a green light is an investment. Make an updated version for modern consoles, and when the shitty TV show comes out and attracts a bunch of people to the IP, some will wanna play the games. Make a brand new shiny paint job to attract the guys into dropping more money for both games. I mean it's probably why they went with the PT.1 name, to make it very clear to the average viewer which your supposed to play first, and then pressure them into getting the first one in fear of missing out on stuff for PT.2.

I played this game on the PS3 for the first time a few years after launch and absolutely loved it, then I played the PS4 remastered version a couple years ago a couple months before TLOUP2 launched to refresh myself on the story before playing the sequel. This game is only 9 years old, it seriously does not need a remake. I can understand why they did port it and did a graphics overhaul for the PS4, considering the game came out around the same time as the PS4 launch and they wanted to give PS4 owners the ability to play the game (given the PS4 is not backwards compatible with the PS3) but rebuilding the literal exact same game from the ground up with some graphical improvements just seems like a waste of money and resources to me personally... The game is 9 years old, not 20...

The original game already looked fantastic on PS3, as they squeezed a lot out of the console, finally optimized it for the Cell supercomputer lol. Which was notoriously hard to program for. Even still, games like MGS4, Demon Souls and DMC4 prove that PS3 was very capable if optimized right. The remake has a different vibe to it, and feels somewhat artificial with these graphics. Extra details over OG artstyle just isn't worth it.

Agreed with your points. I feel that the two main issues with this game are both the price and the false advertisement. I don't think anyone with more than 20 years of experience playing games or anyone familiar with game development will deny that this is essentially a copy paste of the skeleton of the original game (level geometry, animations and the original's voices and acting) except with new visual assets and a couple of bells and whistles. This is definitely more of a remaster than a remake. If it were a remake then why werent the actual gameplay improvemets from TLOU2 added here while they were "rebuilding the game from the ground up"? I think we all know the answer is simply because the game itself wasn't actually rebuilt from he ground up. I'd probably check this out if it was priced more fairly and actually advertised for what it is, and what it is is a game from 2013 with a new coat of paint. It also doesn't help that this kind of gameplay isn't very replayable to me and instead of taking the opportunity to make it a repayable experience, they just didn't, so I'll live without it.

One of the most pointless remakes ever. They stress that "its a remake" when it avoids taking advantage of any actual benefits of remakes. It's a remake with the philosophy of a remaster. Truly pointless.

I'll wait a few years for the price drop to between $10-20 (PC port). While they did put effort with newer engine, it's doesn't justify the $70 price tag. The original remastered still looks really good, so this remake feels quite unnecessary, Unless they were trying make it more in line with Part 2 in graphics and gameplay style. But, I don't see much difference in the gameplay between this remake and the original remastered version.

The trigger effects have been added as well as the updated haptic feedback.

One of the main reasons it feels like the old TLOU holds up in your head is because of how it handled its presentation. Pretty much anything that gives you a close look at the graphics like the cutscenes are all just prerendered FMV. The in-game graphics are a somewhat close approximation to those cutscenes that you think the cutscene graphics are how the game actually looks. Not to downplay the visuals of the original though. It's super impressive and squeezing everything out of the hardware, but it's still a PS3 game at the end of the day.

I was really hoping they would include the prone mechanic from Part 2. Sure, it might've broken some of the level designs, but I thought if Naughty Dog was really doing a "remake" they would've adjusted the encounters to perfectly balance the mechanics, thus justifying the price tag.

That being said, a lot of the people don't seem to understand why some of us are frustrated with this $70 release. It's the same game with the TLOU2 engine, replaced gore and slightly improved mechanics...that's it. What they could've done is added a few new items or cool little locations we couldn't explore before as a bare minimum, but they couldn't even do that. I'll definitely pick this up once I have the PS5 in about 37 years, but for now I'll stick with the remastered version on the 4.

Yup. Spot on. I always use Hereditary as an example. Excellent film, don't wanna watch it again lol TLOU feels more like a movie anyway so not exactly addicting gameplay that will keep you coming back for more although I've know plp that did beat it multiple times

Yeah, right. Because Schindler's List and Requiem For A Dream were both just packed full of people going around a blowing limbs off of bad guys with shotguns. What utter rubbish! It's a silly comparison to somehow justify another AAA games company "cash grab" where they just create a "jigsaw puzzle" of disparate elements purely for profit - "a dab of social commentary here, a bit of artistic flare over there ... and don't forget to let the player blow off a few arms and legs in the process". The games creation equivalent of "painting by numbers".

Ok, that opening was *chef’s kiss*

I always remembered L2 and R2 being for shooting in the original on the PS3 but I guess I’ve just played the remaster to much and my memories blended together

The editing on this was incredibly on point!

They’ve only released the same game 3 times and yet the character models all look like they’ve aged a few years. That or they’re all extremely tired of this trend.

15:06 I agree as well. I remember back when i got the remaster a few years ago and i enjoyed my first playthrough alot but the moment I tried replaying this game thats when you notice the cracks and like all games the more you replay the more faults in it you start to notice and this affects all Of naughty dog’s games to. On the first play through they have you hooked but once you come back for more you realize that thats all the game has. I mean you dont see people praising the game for its genre defining gameplay thats for sure. Sure you have the unlocks but then again its not like there game changing either. Its one of those times where a good game is somewhat sowered once you see all it had to give. Sure there are those games that manage to hook you in no matter how many times you play like max payne it i mean they obviously exist but alot of sony devs dont give much reason to return to there games passed the ps3 era. Edit: 17:03 and the only one that does seem to care is Santa Monica studios

Played it through twice, that's enough for me. Really looked forward to the second one even though I had to wait years for it. Saw the rumours and was conflicted. I accepted Joel dying could have been done well, towards the end of the game and to save Ellie. Instead it's at the start and is just needlessly grim and pointless. Druckman doing his "destruction of toxic masculinity" thing. Last of Us 1 is ruined by part 2. There's no point bothering to save Ellie and Joel knowing the ending of part 2. Also I expected a sequel to have something about the infection and Ellie's immunity, yet it was barely mentioned. That was a very important plot point but it was completely glossed over in favour of Druckman wanting to preach about "violence bad".

Yo Gman, how do you get the graphics to look so pretty on those resident evil remakes? Anywhere (else) I see them, they look more or less washed out, but in your footage the colors are spot on.

I honestly can't see much difference between the PS4 remaster and this remake. Even the original still holds up. That's a testament to ND's design team and it show how strong the vision for this game was.

I got the ps4 disc version so if I ever feel like replaying it I just boot it up on my ps5. The 2014 game still looks great, maybe not as good as the remake but it’s still visually holds up. Not to mention 60fps, for some reason the remake can’t even handle 60 at 4K.

just remember that motorstorm, patapon 3, and freedom wars don't have any remakes or remasters but tlou has two

Remaster :- Game remastered with a newer modern engine so that it'll have better visuals and QOL changes while keep the old story and everything in tact so that it'll feel like the same game you played years ago cept more polished,modernized and prettier. Examples :-Cod Modern warfare Remasters,Spyro Reignited,Halo MCC,Nightdive remasters etc Remake :- Completely change and remake everything top to bottom from the story elements to gameplay system and everything from the the ground up so that it'll feel different and distinct from it's original source material while also respect it.Example :- Yakuza Kiwami,Resident Evil remakes,Final Fantasy 7 Remake,Destroy All Humans 2 Reprobed, Pokemon Heart gold/Soul Silver etc. The Last of us Part 1 :- It's literally the same PS3 version of Last of Us,Plays like the same PS3 version of Last of US,Has the Same Plot,Unedited voices,dialogue,story even some of the mocap and animations hasn't change or redone and are taken straight out of the PS3 version,doesn't have the upgraded controls where you can't prone or dodge,No Multiplayer and the ONLY difference is that It's looks more prettier and got more accessibility options and sells for 70$....what ? Case in point :- This is a glorified 70$ remaster and you'd be coping or blinded by nostalgia if you even think about making excuses.If ND atleast came out and claimed this is a re remaster not a "remake" and bother to reduce the damn price tag,the game wouldn't be getting this much heat,heck it would be praised. But what hurts is that there are so many old ND games that's begging to be remake or remastered but they choose to go with TLOU again and i am pretty positive this game is mostly damage control for TLOU2.

Remake implies that something was remade, the graphics, lighting and character models were remade.

If TLOU Part 2 was released on pc it would take them no time at all to implement some of the gameplay changes into part 1. That would be the only selling point enough for me to consider buying this game again. I'd encourage people to vote with their wallets (Not with death threats) and show studios and developers that we're tired of the shameless cash grabs.

Dude you’re so right about current gen consoles not doing 60 frames. They hyped us all up when they said we would be 60 frames not mentioning that it would be hidden behind a performance mode with the fidelity of a ps4 pro. Or previous gen Xbox. Had us all thinking we’d finally be able to play like the pc players who’ve been playing at 60 frames for like 15-20 years now. Just to end up with a graphics setting that’s useful for no more than just taking in game photos. Luckily this doesn’t apply to all currency gen but I’d say most so far - PS5 User

Thank you for perfectly explaining the difference between a REMAKE and a REMASTER. So many people get them confused, or worse use them interchangeably. As for The Last of Us: Part 1 is a full remake, but is considered a 1 to 1 remake, same as MedEvil from a few years back. The remaster would just be further pushing the old models and assets to 4K and hopefully keeping the frame rate, like that did from PS3 to PS4. (The only games I am confused about Remakes/Remasters are Diablo 2 Reignighted, and Halo 1 and 2 in Master Chief Collection where you can play the original or remade with the push of a button.)
