Just looking, the textures, models, and all visuals have improved by a lot, but they took a dive in the art direction. As a commercial photo / video person, The new footage looks like log or raw video rather than color graded cinematic imagery. The scorching red hue of bill’s town, and the blue hues at the start, each represented different moods that aided in the story. The new look is just too clinical to me.

yeah I agree with this one, the artstyle in the original game was great (even tho I prefer the look of the remake) it made places that were 'relaxing' more relaxing and places that were stressful extremely oppressive (like the sewers or the collapsed towers)

The thing I like about the remake is that older characters's model actually feel older and you can see the highlight on the amount of stress they have suffered like the bags under their eyes, they are somewhat skinnier and feel more tired.

I think collectibles being a physical object Joel picks up adds a lot more than just immersion, it makes the scene where Joel rejects the photo of Sarah that Tommy offers him all the more powerful because through the whole game, Joel has been pocketing every trinket and doodad he comes across, but instead of thoughtlessly pocketing the photo, he hands it back to Tommy. This makes the scene where Ellie hands Joel the photo all the stronger, because he finally accepts this memory for all of the joy and pain it brings him. wish that Naughty Dog focused on these elements of storytelling more than traditional cinematic storytelling.

I can't decide which version I like better. Joel and the other gal at the beginning of Chapter 1 now look their age, which is great, but at the same time, the characters' facial expressions have changed. Where Joel once looked determined, he now looks weary. Where Ellie once looked feisty, she now looks vulnerable. It's not worse, it's just ... different. Much of the background art is improved, but a few of the original environments still seem preferable. For example, I was saddened but also chuckled when I noticed that they'd removed Pluto from a poster in Joel's daughter's room. I liked the scummy water of the original, but I also like the brackish water of the remake. I think both versions are flavours worth enjoying. I think I'll buy a copy of the new version in another month or two when it's released for PC and enjoy the excuse for a replay.

They've made skin stretch more realistically. They've added detailed skin textures with wrinkles and pores. There is some subtlety in facial animations that was totally lost in the original that have been brought out and add depth to the performances. Joel actually looks his age and has patches of grey in his hair. If they had upgraded everything else in this game but kept the faces proportionally identical with the new lighting, subsurface scattering, and textures, they would look awful. When the original game came out in 2013 I thought it was one of the most realistic games I'd ever seen. I played it again very recently, and I'm playing the remake now. The faces have aged noticeably poorly in the original. Love it to death, but it sure was released on now 16 year old hardware at the tail end of its lifespan

Great comparison, I really appreciate the work they put into this remake. Though I was noticing around one out of five examples I preferred the tone of the Remastered original. Maybe it's the way it was captured, but a lot of times the remake feels washed out or less cinematic in color tone. A few examples: 2:50, 5:18 (Ellie is pink), 13:45 (That "excessive red and yellow light" made that entrance to the town for me). That all said, I'm looking forward to trying it out for myself when the price drops.

The sequence in the hotel basement with the stalkers that I played last night was amazing! I really take my time to and look at everything closely to really appreciate the world that was created here with so much attention given to the smallest details.

I just felt like I could see everything better, and I was seeing some details for the first time. I feel so much more immersed. The physics of Joel's backpack moving as he walks/runs, the way he puts his arm up for cover if he stands under falling water (I don't remember if he does that in remastered...), the way he actually picks up objects instead of swiping his hand over them...

One thing you didn't mention was the Spores. In the Remastered version it was like you were in a haze and you can barely see anything. In the Remake, the spores effect is much less aggressive.

well... 70$ is a steep price for... basically just graphical improvements. Personally i see it mainly as PC release. As someone who never played TLoU myself (I dont have PS and decided back in the days that buying console just for this one game doesnt make sense) it is 70$ worth of an improvement over nothing we, PC users, currently have :-)

In the main scene of the game in which tomy takes Joel and Sara to the city I felt that in the remake they did a great job, I do not know if people noticed but the scenery got much darker and more impactful

What a great break down, there is more that went into this than I thought. Though, I do think some of the visual upgrades actually make it less appealing. The jaggies introduced and the general sheen and cleanliness hurt the world and character a vibe a bit. But the *generBater* 9:36 animation is interesting, sounds new ;)

they also changed the editing timing of the cinematics too. the "what i say go" scene was cut differently in the new version than the remastered.

Really is incredible how much work ND did with this remake. Still remember how impressed I was playing it back on the PS3, can't wait to play it again on PS5 (if I ever get one...)

Personally I really like looking at good graphics in games and the work you do is very much appreciated

21:40 In the remake, the pallet texture is also more realistic, with it looking damp, rotting and covered with algae. Where else in the remastered, it looks dry and unaffected by the swampy waters.

You can see it in the destroyed vehicles that they asset dropped into the new game too, they are actually not as well designed or cleverly integrated into the scenes as the original vehicles. Some of the 'upgrade' looks out of place because of it. It's not their original vision at all.

@@That-Will-Do-It There is no way saturation is a hardware limit sort of deal. That's just color my man. Color is a slider on many 3d/editing software that has a less affects on CPU/GPU computations. Many games had darker colors oven before ps3 era. Heavy computational tasks such as lighting, particle effects, model polycounts etc are the real issues for hardware. The original/remaster colors gave TLOU a true sense of uniqueness when it came to separating it from many other cliché post apocalyptic medias. A sense of a brighter day in the chaos of a broken world. *Hope.* Now its all just gloomy. TLOU kind of reminded me a bit of Mad Max Fury road. I think if they had used the desaturate palette used in P1/P2 for that movie. It would have been a misstep too.

For me, this takes away Naughty Dog's distinguished look in high contrast, highly saturated colors they had since Crash Bandicoot era. Seeing a post-apocalyptic world with such vivid and vibrant colors was the aesthetic core of the game.

Well they have to adapt and tie in the attitude between parts 1 & 2. We saw what a shock it was to our system to go from a game that was dark but had an underlying hope in the madness and dreariness of that world to something that was just dark. Nostalgia can be a blessing but if held on too tightly can be a curse. I mean look at political issues today and you can see the dangers of holding onto the past in an unhealthy way. To want to hold the game industry to such a standard would kill it eventually as it wouldn't hold up to the modern games. I will have all my love and nostalgia for my OG games but I'm not going to demand they stay the same in every way. That's not how life or society works. Edited to add: Not coming at you though, genuinely I am not, but there are amazing case studies into nostalgia and the damaging effects they can have or how the human brain is wired to hold onto it. It's actually really fascinating. I won't say nostalgia is bad but it should be used within reason. Nor will I tell you that we have to agree. We're both our own people and entitled to our emotions.

This is a really informative video. Like some others have said, the original PS3 The Last of Us was an incredibly detailed game when I first played it. The Last of Us Remastered was well worth the purchase price as it stepped things up another level - I didn't think it could get much better, I hated what they did to the characters and story in Part 2, so I was very sceptical of this "Remake"... but boy, it really does look brilliant! Despite my dislike of what they've done to the series in Part 2, I will be buying Part 1 when it releases on PC. 4K, 60 FPS+, Ray Tracing (hopefully!) and DLSS here we come!

very nice content, the visuals are stunning but its not enough for me to double dip. i wish they included more interactive elements in the cutscenes

1000% The audio in part one is better. The problem with the remaster is every gun has the space laser whizzing sound effect when shot. Usually the sound effect is mostly heard when you are being shot at, rather than shooting someone. Plus with part one, the ever fading echo of the gunshot is a great realistic touch.

As an early PC player since 1985, I never had a gaming console before I recently bought and reconditionned my first cheap and used PS4 Pro to experiment lazy sofa gaming. I wasn't expecting to much of it... Just fun with my teenage daughter... I bought the remastered and part II versions used as well for 20€, I've just finished both of them. I instantly and definitely fall in love with the story and the caracters that are both absolutely amazing. Whatever the little problems of design and gameplay. I've never been touched that much by a video game, except Death Stranding maybe. A master piece, really. But, thanks to your big work here, I'm the happier old gamer of the universe ! Sure, I will one day buy the enhanced Part 1 and Part 2 versions for my PC just for the pleasure to fall in love again and again... Amazing remake after all ! Thx !

One thing that I imagined them doing in the remake that didn’t happen was expanding the gameplay areas. Remember how in the original game, floors in buildings are randomly blocked off by debris, and many areas are made inaccessible by wires. With the increased power of the PS5, they could’ve easily expanded the gameplay areas by making these areas accessible. This could’ve made the game feel more open ended. Sad that they didn’t do it.

I've been playing the remake on grounded difficulty and its way more difficult than the remaster ,the changes they've done to the a.i. really show.

When I got my PS5, I somehow lost all my PS4 save files in the transfer. I was crushed, of course (was working on 100%-ing a 2nd run of TLOU2, too) but being able to relive the story like this definitely helps me to look on the bright side.

To me the difference in colour grading makes that a lot more apparent, and makes TLOU2 feel so much grittier and sadder in contrast.

It took a while for me to adjust to the character’s new facial graphics, as they look so different in comparison to the original versions, but I’ve grown to really appreciate how much more expressive and detailed they are. If I could have kept one thing unchanged (just enhanced), in the original TLoU, the runner’s eyes used to look forced into different directions. Presumably the cordyceps was pushing the eyes of the infected out of their sockets. I thought this was a really creepy detail I wish had been carried over into the remake.

Another thing to add to the environment list, somewhere in the remake you can find a fully functioning scale that if you make Joel stand on it, it actually tells you his weight.

Regardless, we're past thelat era of jarring uncanny Valley look of character models and can relate to them/ read their mannerisms and characterisations a whole lot better subsequently making them more relatable. Such little nuance can't be understated in how essential it is, especially when viewing a game through a realistic vein a decade late; things aiming for realism don't necessarily age that well, especially when the tech exists to make it happen. Anyone remotely familiar with modern day ND knows they prixe themselves of fidelity prowess and pushing the PlayStation hardware as hard as it can, hence why this exists and, in my opinion, the defining version if the game from start to finish. The remaster was arguably unnecessary and offered far less in the grand scheme of things.

I don’t get the argument that discounts should be made for people who own the ps4 version, or that this price for the re-remaster is to high.
