well I should hope it has better lighting and textures, that's kind of the idea with an HD remaster.

That being said, I am getting excited for the end of the month. TLOU virgin here so I have no idea what to expect. And I haven't watched any let's plays or anything, so like 99.5% of this game will be brand new to me..

DryBoneKoopa854210d ago

It's a great game. The first 15 minutes are very intense.

Naughty Dog did an amzing job with the story as well.

ThunderSpark4210d ago (Edited 4210d ago )

Agreed. This is expected of Remasters, but an award winning game like this getting remastered for the PS4 in full 1080p and 60fps is a godsend. I seriously cannot wait.

guitarded774210d ago

Yeah, that opening is amazing. It's set where I live, so it kinda hit home a bit more, and made Joel a very identifiable character for me.

Eejanaika4210d ago

I would love to see a last of us 2,

mikeslemonade4210d ago

Going by the agrees.. it seems like people finally grew some senses. Also you must consider extrapolating the screens on your 55 inch TV. Then you will notice how far back the PS3 version is.

Just looking at the PS3 screen kinda hurts my eyes.

You might not enjoy it, hype can be a curse, if your expectations are too high you may end up being disappointed

It deserves every award it's been given imo, you can tell a lot of time/effort has gone into crafting it

The multiplayer is addicting if you give it a chance, I didn't like it to begin with, took a little learning

Neonridr4210d ago

I'm sure I will love it. Story suits my tastes.

Salooh4210d ago (Edited 4210d ago )

Exactly. That's what i did and told everyone. Don't listen to anyone and play it yourself like if you never heard anything.

But people are soo negative after that screenshot of the cutscene. Got a lot of disagrees lol . It is a cutscene and we already see improvements there which wasn't the reason why ND remastered this game. They did it for the gameplay upgrade. They said gameplay will get cutscene treatment which we haven't seen yet. Don't know why they disagreed o.o

BadlyPackedKeebab4209d ago

This is true I got a ps3 again for this and GTA and just didn't get into this. At the time for me it just didn't live up to the hype. To this day I don't get the fuss but I am going to give it another go as I suspect it was just a case of being deep into GTA the first time around. I find I cannot be deeply into 2 games at once generally.

deafdani4210d ago (Edited 4210d ago )

Holy damn, I envy you. I already played TLOU on the PS3, so I'm not interested on this remaster in the least... but the PS3 version looked bloody gorgeous, so I can't even imagine how great the eyecandy will be on the PS4 version.

Enjoy it, dude. TLOU is quite an enthralling ride. Suffice to say (without spoiling anything) that you will be very hard pressed to find a game with a better narrative than this one, and that's what makes it so good. ^_^

camel_toad4210d ago

Hats off to you for making sure you haven't seen too much on it. You're gonna love it ;)

bigbic4210d ago

You have a lot of self control not watching videos on it being played. You wont regret it, the story was brilliant imo.

randomass1714210d ago

You're in for a real treat IMO. It's a great stealth/survival game and has a magnificently told story to boot. On top of that you're going to get he story DLC that released after the original came out. :D

Xer0_SiN4210d ago

this was a day one buy for me on ps3. will be again on ps4. its that awesome.

Bobby Kotex4210d ago (Edited 4210d ago )

I understand why you would buy it, but $50 for a game that came out a year ago just seems ridiculous for someone who bought it for PS3. I'll wait until it's $20-30 if i buy it at all.

The_Sneauxman4210d ago

You sir, are in for a treat.
Although make sure you have a Kleenex handy

bloodybutcher4209d ago (Edited 4209d ago )

I don't think that he will masturbate to it...

Yahdaree4210d ago

Neon you are so lucky, I kind of wish I was in your shoes.

CervantesPR4210d ago

Stop reading TLOU articles if you know whats good for you.

Neonridr4209d ago

lol, I don't look at any gameplay videos or cutscenes. My only exposure to this game was the original trailer that debuted a long time ago, and then a couple of screen shots here and there.

Cannot wait to experience this game.

Neonridr4209d ago

I appreciate all the nice words guys. I am really, really looking forward to this game.

you should avoid posting in TLOU threads if 99.5 percent of the game is unknown to you. It would be a crime if some troll spoiled the game for you.

The game comes out in three weeks. You should be able to hold out until then, and avoid spoilers.

At the very least, stop announcing you're new to the game. That is prime troll bait.

Anyhoo, GOOD LUCK, and I hope you enjoy the game. It is my personal game of the generation, and I can't wait to re purchase it for ps4.

Neonridr4209d ago

thanks for the tips. I have been lucky to not have the game spoiled for me yet. 3 more weeks to go.. ;)

assdan4209d ago

The difference is already apparent even though I'm looking at the pic in a small window on a non 1080p screen.

k3rn3ll4210d ago

My thoughts exactly. And maybe we can get an actual 720p ps3 screenshot so it doesn't look all scaled down and blurry. The ps3 looked far better than it does in that screenshot

Conzul4210d ago

Ugh, Ellie's hair still looks like glossy plastic, even in the PS4 cutscene.

Wish they'd improved the hair instead of 60frames.

Or at least turn down the specular lighting on it. Sheesh, so distracting.

BOLO_24210d ago

They have improved upon the resolution and framerate and your gripe is hair that looks "glossy plastic" to you?

Aquariusgamer4209d ago

Have you seen the hair for some of the characters in dragon age inquisition? some of those do's look like wax mops.

BadlyPackedKeebab4209d ago

Giving you a bubble for use of the word specular. So many on here talk technical like they understand stuff. When those that do know what they are talking about speak they get neggies.

kizzle324210d ago (Edited 4210d ago )

I loved this game, don't think I will be playing through again on PS4 but in terms of MAJOR GRAPHICS OVERHAUL, I have to disagree, it really only looks like higher resolution (in this particular screenshot)which was a cutscene as well...I wish they would show some side by side actual gameplay.

GearSkiN4210d ago

I agree I think until now, for me tomb raider had a better remastered version, they actually added something new... But I'm still getting this game.

Aquariusgamer4209d ago (Edited 4209d ago )

The tomb raider game had something new to add because they were able to use the upgraded textures that were already in the PC version (except the new face, which was a huge downgrade imo). Also, they weren't even able to achieve perfect 60 fps locked, and in the case of x1, they could only do 30 fps locked.

For TLOU, the graphics were *already* top notch for the ps3 version, so I'm not really that surprised that the ps4 version only looks higher rez in still screenshots. Wait until the game is actually in motion with locked 60 fps and then judge, would be my suggestion.

Heisenburger4210d ago (Edited 4210d ago )

The cutscenes do look better, as you said. I've been patient and cool with the fact that they haven't shown what I preordered looks like.
However, what does irritate me is all of these cutscenes screenshots recently.

Naughty Dog has been quoted as saying that the graphics for gameplay would be on par with the pre-rendered cutscenes. Which makes sense considering they are in-engine cutscenes and Naughty Dog have talked about how their PS3 engine scales up, ect.

Though I suppose you could look at these cutscene screenshots as evidence of what the *game will look like throughout, which would be great.

I just don't appreciate the way that they've gone about this, that's all.

Maxor4210d ago

The fanboy hype on this is off the charts. There is no major graphics overhual just increase in details and resolution. You can get this change in any PC game by changing the settings from low to max and watch the AMAZING $60 overhaul happen right in front of your eyes in no more than 5 seconds.

What's happening here is that ND is using the textures and art assets they already had when they developed the game. The ones that they didn't have to ruthlessly down grade to make the game run on an ancient 7 years old console.

I'll be buying this anyway since I skipped it with the ps4 right around the corner. In fact I didn't bother playing a ton of games in 2013, in light of the remastered generation that is upon us, I made a brilliant money saving choice.

Qrphe4210d ago

That "simple" $60 overhaul can go from $0 and onto the hundreds on PC depending on your rig.

k3rn3ll4210d ago (Edited 4210d ago )

@Qrphe please dont talk about pc prices as you clearly have no clue what it would cost to build one that can run this game. Your scaring the Console Children

BattleTorn4209d ago

Isn't it curious that these articles making claims of 'massive graphics overhauls' can't seem to put together more than one screenshot for comparison, nor any video.

True_Samurai4210d ago (Edited 4210d ago )

Idk I have tlou on my ps3 and that scene with eli and that man is not that blurry at all
Looks like the ps3 version either didn't take a good shot or someone blurred up the image

the_hitman30004210d ago

Well it might just seem it because it's compared to the ps4 version. I wouldn't be surprised if it was that blurry. The jump from 720 to 1080 usually brings that type if jump in clearity.

But hey The Last of Us looked amazing on ps3 and I'm sure it's going to look amazing on PS4.

lifeisgamesok4210d ago

My sentiments as well. It doesn't look like a major difference just a resolution bump

bigbic4210d ago (Edited 4210d ago )

Looks like a pretty drastic jump in textures and lighting to me, colors look much better and of course the resolution is much improved. Dare I say it is a major update.

DigitalRaptor4210d ago

Ummmm. Nice attempt, but that's a cutscene you're looking at.

Those were already using high-fidelity assets and are pre-rendered. You're not going to see a huge difference on them. It's the gameplay you should be looking at to judge the differences on, cause that is where they will be most impactful.

turdburgler10804210d ago

They should rename it The Last of Us: Money Grab Edition;)

Subaruwrx4210d ago

Money grab my a-s! PS3 has a user base of more than 80 million and the PS4 has a user base of more than 8 million. The Last Of Us sold about 6 million copies so, there's obviously a huge user base that never played the game. The phrase 'cash grab' implies rip off. How is it a rip off to offer a game upgraded for the PS4 with all released DLC for $10 less than original PS3 release? Stealth trolling big time, aren't we?

SINISTERGENESIS4209d ago (Edited 4209d ago )

Aren't there turds for you to burgle?

It’s strange that Tencent wants to make games that Sony makes already and does a great job. I could see asking about reviving a franchise but current franchises don’t make much sense.

Christopher92d ago

It's not strange at all. They're big on copying successes, not on developing their own.

darthv7292d ago

That was pretty much the norm for several years. a big hit gets released, then you start to see clones. God of War and then Dante's Inferno. Gears of War and then Quantum Theory. Those are just a couple but there are plenty more.

Its been the same with movies and tv shows for decades.

jambola91d ago

Its pretty much the standard tbh
I mean how many cinematic universes and multiverses have we seen in the last 10 years

RaidenBlack91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

Give 'em SOCOM/Killzone/Resistance/inFa mous? (defo: not Uncharted tho)

rlow192d ago

Well that’s what the Chinese do steal and copy. Then call it their own…not surprised.

italiangamer92d ago (Edited 92d ago )

The First of Them! 100% Made in China.

_Decadent_Descent91d ago

I'd actually be stoked if it played well and had an MP mode.

DivineHand12591d ago

Guys when I am not gaming or watching media, I will read or listen to books for entertainment. There are a bunch of great books out there with stories that are super interesting.

I don't understand why these studios won't try to do an adaptation of some of those books instead of trying to copy each other.

Some of the best games around were adapted from some of these books.

yeah, they're gonna overprice it so only 0.5% of the playerbase can buy it. The spiderman packs cost like 650 for 12 packs or something, on top of spiderman not fitting into mtg at all. Most of current PS characters don't fit either.
