not a fan of the no return mode. But the game story mode. Is one of the best games I've ever played.
We appreciate the hard work that they put it into the game but you missing one part killing a beloved character JOEL! from the first game. Build up does not make sense We respect their work. We appreciate, but what we don't agree that. Killing a beloved character that we wait 7 plus year to play as Is was kill from Beginning from the first hour of the game The problem is that WE DID NOT WAIT SEVEN PLUS YEAR TO PLAY AS ABBY!!! SHE KILL OUR BELOVED CHARACTERS IN THE FUCKING FIRST HOUR!!!! Another remasterd $70 full or $10 Upgrade on ps4 Disc They need to make a little bit more money to put into their pocket
A 10 though? Really?
I recognize the gameplay as topnotch, but I don't know if I hate myself enough for another playthrough.
I really don't get the "another remaster" sentiment with this. It's like everyone collectively forgot this game was never released on PS5. People didn't act like this when Horizon Forbidden West or God of War Ragnarok got their PS5 ports. But people can't help but be weird about The Last of Us.
It bothers me that they did so little for the graphics. Yes, the game looks great, but it could have looked better.
Some examples would be text on clothing being very low res. Put on Ellie's Death Stranding shirt and zoom into it with photo mode. Its embarassing.
The world shows some age too. I was pressed against a brick surface last night that looked paper flat. Just a wall with a brick texture, no depth at all. Could have added POM or something.
Its just frustrating they didn't do the work to future proof the game a bit more.
I liked Last of us 2 so much that i invited my wife's boyfriend to play with me and he liked it so much that he bought me the remastered version on ps5 so now we both can play the game at the same time while my wife makes him a hearty meal after an intense session of lovemaking
Played the crap out of the first game. Never got a chance to try part two so I’m looking forward to this. I love games/movies set in post apocalyptic/dystopian settings
How do you still have hair Victor?
The new content looks good, but aside from the frame rate and resolution increases, there's nothing here that couldn't have been done on PS4 and indeed the extra content should have been added to the PS4 version as well and not be PS5 exclusive!
I recently got a PS5 and indeed from the outside and now that I have one, it really hasn't blown me away, feeling more like a PS4.5 or PS4 Pro Pro…
Probably the biggest thing I don't like about it is its' controller, I much prefer to play games with a Dualshock (especially the Dualshock 4), rather than the Dual Sense and wish I could experience the new content on a PS4 and/or on a PS5 with a Dual Shock 4 or 5!
Also it's a big pity that the lost levels weren't completed and integrated into the main game and that we didn't get a Left Behind style expansion (yet?!) 😯😀🤘🤞 .
The new mode does looks like fun.
Not sure if this is a hot take but I absolutely loved the multi-player in the last of us 1. That was my jam back then. Sad they couldn't build off of that.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is just another cash grab from the company that does that best….Sony , this should have been a free update , if it was factions it would have been free but you are doing a fantastic job for Sony by selling the Hell outta this… 😅
It’s such a shame that the great combat is over shadowed by the terrible story and pacing.
Would have paid full price again for a PC version…
It’s called no new ideas
The best game of all time even better!!!!!
When Digital Foundry can’t tell the difference…you know it’s unnecessary.
Love the passion you have for the games. I sense no snarky biased opinion from you and i can tell you just love the video games as much as we do.
Fun game, but the fact that is the only first party PS5 release for 2024 we know, is VERY alarming.
Just curious if there are new trophies. Have to start over trophy progress. I am itching to replay this masterpiece.
I played the PS4 version, from start to finish. I had watched and listened to a lot of the hate and diverse opinions on the game/storyline beforehand. Honestly, it pulled me in and I consider it one of my favourite gaming experiences ever. I look for games that I get lost in, that feels like a real world, characters that I care about and can relate to, and Last of Us Part 2 has all of that. The ending scene, or close to the ending, on the beach……that part, the intensity and emotionality of that part…wow. I'll leave it at that, but what do I know, I loved Death Stranding. 😅
Playing that game once was enough. It goes on 10 hours to long if not more.
Believe it or not, I've recently just finished the first game all the way through (after 3-4 trys due to life). Love it so much. Been super excited for this PS5 remaster AND I have been able to avoid most major spoilers. Thank you for still not ruining the big things. Just learning we play as more than just Elle and Joel. Can't wait!!
You say you prefer 60 fps but then you say it looks more like a game and not a masterpiece cinema moment and that makes me feel that yes, 30 fps feels more cinematic. But I also prefer 60 fps as well. So I’m glad we get both experiences.
The hate for this game has evolved from the story to the actions and attitude of the director and the sycophantic game "journalism" industry. I love this game but the haters all have very valid criticisms.
Definitely going for the upgrade. I had a fun “photo mode” run with part 1. Looking forward to doing the same with part 2. The added content is a welcome addition as well.
It called It's called last of us part2 repackage
I'm super excited to play this with PS5 graphics. Watched Dom the bomb stream last night. It looks amazing and I can't wait for what comes next from our friends at Naughty Dog
I'm with the majority of people that are tired of being raked over the money collector… I love games, but even with all the great games we've seen the past few years, it's undeniable that there's a cancer growing.
I've been watching you since the late SNES(16Bit) era and early PS1.. thank you for your service!
Looks like the perfeft time for me to finally jump in. Thanks Vic!
I loved lou2 and preordered this day one. Im such a sucker for this franchise. Beat the ps4 version twice including grounded mode. Stoked to play through in even better fidelity.
If you hate this you have to also hate remastered music too.
Grew up watching Electric Playground. So happy to see you are still doing it Vic. All love and support to you. Will definitely be doing the 10 dollar upgrade and trying to beat this thing on grounded+ !
I'm so glad Vic said butt-hurt 😆, such a fan of the cat and mouse gameplay. Hopefully people will enjoy part 3 for what it is; a subjective product of culture.
Druckman needs to step down. I think it's safe to say that most of us had enough of this BS. When he fired Hening that's when the studio started going downhill imo. ND is a shell of what they used to be. The reason this keeps happening is because people keep preordering these types of games. The first game was interesting but after that the series has become one of the most overated franchises in gaming. I wish they make a new IP at this point
Although I'm not a fan of TLoU 2, the $10 upgrade is a good incentive and this should be the norm for those who previously purchased games years ago instead of shelling out more money for a fresh coat of paint.
Little work easy money
I'm content with it since its a 10 dollar upgrade.
ND have been a freaken joke this gen… its sonys best studio and remastered of remakes of the remastered remakes is what sony used them for how in the hell… Like imagen what they could have done witha new uncharted on ps5….
One more remaster. Same terrible story
All Sony does is peddle remakes, remasters and sequels. They are creatively bankrupt.
Pass, there's no way I'm paying for basically an update.
I'm really looking forward to the no return mode and for the 10. Upgrade option I'm content
So what you're telling us is they are charging $10 USD for DLC when GoW V gave us the same content yet gave it out for free. Interesting.
Great review Vic. I'm excited to get back into this game. I loved the combat.
Sooooo no graphic change is all I heard
