I feel really bad for the people at Naughty Dog after watching this. When first revealed, a big part of the internet didn't see the difference between this and the original. Games always look better in your head, especially ones that looked great at the time. But this definitely is a huge step up from the original. So much work went into this, even an absurd amount at points if you ask me (like with most of their games). Hopefully this video helps showing the actual work that went into this project and get the love and credit it deserves. It must be heartbreaking for the team to see the negative reactions at first, knowing the passion that actually went into making this.

As much as I love how this turned out: I think most people were complaining about the price. And since The Last of Us is a beloved game, I bet that a lot of people complaining already have the game either for PS3, PS4 or both. And also the argument could be made that it is too soon for a game to have the 2nd improved version, while games like Uncharted, who lacked even more because of the lack of knowledge about the PS3 at the time, would have benefited even more from that kind of treatment. That being said, part 1 looks awesome!

If they watched this, you definitely made some devs day by pointing out that mirror placement revealing an enemy ambush. I'm almost certain that was an idea someone thought would be super cool! Great find!

The way the game is designed obviously makes ray-tracing less of a gain than in, for example, a sandbox building game where both the time of day AND the environment are constantly changing (thus precluding the possibility of using precalculated lighting). Ray-tracing's efficacy and worthwhileness depends heavily on the specific format of the game. For heavily linear, cinematic games like this, of course it's not a huge gain. But this is a very specific type of game.

@JZStudiosonline

Жыл бұрын

People don't understand what ray-tracing is good for and the fact that game studios have spent almost 30 years trying to emulate it. Nu Tera gives a great point about ray tracing being better for more dynamic lighting. It's just more impressive how well they've managed to fake it over time. I never believed the first gen of ray tracing would be the norm, but whatever the next gen is, it most likely will be, and it's way easier to use PBR pipelines and ray tracing than trying to fake all the lighting.

For me, this is one of the top 5 greatest games of all time. It will be hard for any to dethrone it!

I was simply stating thst this game is so good that if they remade it on ps6 tech I would buy it then as well. Maybe I didn't go into detail and explain that, but it's what I meant

At 46:07 he was stunned not by the leg shot but by the AI throwing a brick at him, giving the prompt. Pretty cool they added that for the remake. Amazing video as always!

I am *STUNNED* that TLOU even ran on a PS3 back in 2013, it really pushed the console as far as it could possibly go. On 512MB of RAM? Ridiculous, lol😅. Definitely should've been a PS4 release first, but I'm still glad it came out when it did, because I've literally only played it once and that was a very personal done-in-one-sitting playthrough that I still think about nearly 10yrs later. But this remake? *Holy Cordyceps Shit!* So many things redone from the ground-up. People think the team just pressed a _"Make Things Look Nicer"_ Button and called it a day......NOPE!!!!! They redid all the character models, the facial animations, the 3D mix, the environmental changes, real-time changes to all the lighting, items, animations, it's absolute madness that they managed to work on this _while_ dealing with the last leg of crunch on TLOU2. Probably gonna get emotional playing this again, but screw. it, it's gonna happen xD

While you can debate if they should’ve included the action mechanics of Part 2 (in any degree), you can’t deny the work (especially in visuals) that they put in. From that perspective, it really is from the ground up and the improvements are absolutely insane. Your channel did an EXCELLENT job covering it all!

It is a huge improvement, but even in light of that I'm still scratching my head bit. It's one of my favorite games of all time but I don't see myself buying this. It is better looking and slightly better playing, but it's still the exact same game that I played only a handful of years ago at the end of the day (minus the multiplayer). I guess for new gamers and people who discover the series through the HBO show this makes sense.

There's something to be said in how the remake looks how I remember the original did all those years ago playing on my PS3. Seeing the OG footage, which for me was the first time in almost a decade really drove home how far we've come, particularly in image quality since then. I'm not buying this at release for $70, but if it ever drops to ~$30 or so I'll probably hop back in to relive one of my favorite games of that generation.

Great video. I noticed that John used "MGS menu sound effects" for when he pauses the comparison shots . A true fan

Its not just the level of detail this video goes into its the sheer amount of knowledge the commentator has on in the inner workings of light, shadows, particles and so much more. Can’t wait for the comparison video for the PS5 and PC version of the game when it drops.

Wow! The game really does look fantastic. Thank you, John, for the extensive coverage. I always enjoy watching your videos but this is easily your best yet in terms of offering detailed comparisons etc.

I want to say that soft shadows on the PS3 was probably something no other PS3 game did, and they looked quite believable too, despite the directionality issue in some places. Honestly, there weren't even many PS4 games that did soft shadows generated by more ambient/diffuse light sources, which makes it even more impressive.

It's impressive that you can make a video like this genuinely interesting from start to finish.

The PS5 is way more impressive and amazing than I thought. I never would have appreciated the differences unless you went over this. Incredible!.. 👏

@@Etheral101 well they can ask for any price they want and I as a customer can decide whether or not I think it's worth paying for , and based on that there can be an adjustment to from both parties to reach an agreeable price , I don't think the 70$ price increase is good because most games are barely worth 60$ let alone 70$ and things like terrible dlcs and micro-transactions aren't going away with it , but I think it can be understandable since games are becoming more expensive and if the increase means more quality products i'm all for it , sony does have good exclusives that are generally worth paying for but in this case remaking a remaster of a game that most people played ( possibly on both ps3 and ps4 ) without including the multiplayer mode is a bit too much to ask for imo , in fact I think sony handled the upgrades from ps4 to ps5 terribly in general with 10$ to upgrade from one version to another . As for demon's souls , although like I said i'm not for games being $70 so that goes for it as well , but one can't deny that it was a way more substantial overhaul compared to TLOU part 1 , and gameplay even if unchanged feels a bit different because they overhauled all animations . Anyway I think tlou 1 is a good purchase for people that never played it , but given the fact it's not a new game and the upgrades are mostly visual , I think 70$ is too much to ask for

This was the most perfectly paced breakdown video I've ever watched, I never checked the time once and was riveted start to finish. Brilliant effort!!

This remake is for new players to introduce TLOU world. All ps5 first timers or ps first timers, would be massive for such immersive experience for players
