The Last of Us PS4 vs PS3 Version Side by Side Comparison

Junkie Monkeys: Naughty Dog recently released a small teaser for The Last of Us Remastered for the PlayStation 4. Here’s how the remastered scene looks compared to the PlayStation 3 version.

[Jedislayer]

I do want to play this again for ps4, but i don't know about shelling out another 59.99 for a game i bought over a year ago. at least there should be a $10.00 upgrade and I hope naughty Dog at least takes that into consideration.

[Nitrowolf2]

Yea I am hoping for an upgrade option for Digital buyers at least.

[rodiabloalmeida]

I own a PS3 and one of my games is The Last of Us. But if I happen to buy a PS4 like tomorrow or in a near future, I wouldn't buy TLoU Remaster for 60 bucks. An upgrade would be very welcome though. Or I would buy it when the price gets lower.

[rodiabloalmeida]

And when I say lower price, I really mean lower. PS3 version is already good enough. This remaster is good if you never played the original PS3 version. 60 bucks is too much if you already has the PS3 version.

[Flutterby]

I really don't think this game is aimed at the people who already bought it, there are 10s of millions of people that haven't played it, I myself held off buying any new games for the ps3 as soon as the ps4 was announced, so to me and the other 70 or so million ps3 owners that didn't play it it's a good thing and it doesn't need to be reduced in price.

[Baka-akaB]

There are still some of those previous owners that knows that while a masterpiece , the game was developed in an ongoing struggle with an ageing hardware .

Those people dont mind double dipping for an enhanced and most all perfectly fluid and smooth experience of the game .

Not to mention those that ignored dlc and look forward to potential additions and small changes .

If anything , history shows the ones buying hd remaster and remakes are quite often those that already got the game .
Only this time around TLOUS is such a classic and prising title already , that people that went the 360 or other platforms route last gen , and happens to own a ps4 can and will use the opportunity to try it .

And of course a few ps3 owners that held themselves back in anticipation

[trancefreak]

-And that is the exact reason I will be buying BAKA

I played this game most likely 5 play threw"s and was halfway threw survivor mode when the PS4 came out.

The game was awesome and i always imagined what it feel like on a next gen console. Sometimes the game chugged along pushing the PS3 to it's limits. Now I am ready for a much more fluid experience.

We will have to wait until Naughty releases more footage of different sections to really see how much more detail has been added.

Whom ever has played the game knows there are some beautiful settings threw the journey of TLOU.

[alexkoepp]

Really showcases the extreme power of the ps4

[skyrim]

Completely agree I want to play it on ps4 but I don't think i want to shell out 60 dollars as well.Would love to try it though see the improvements for myself.

[trancefreak]

I agree and I will most likely wait for a price drop but I can't help to wonder if this intentional to produce a sequel. Not the pricing but the platform.

A lot of new gamers, Xbox converts, multiplat owners might see it differently coming from a different platform last gen.

[AgentSmithPS4]

I never got to play this and right now there are too many questionable games out there so I'm glad I don't have to worry about buying this.

[T2]

Me too, but for those who bought the original, either maybe there will be an upgrade or just wait 6 months and get it for 30 bucks, you did just play it so no big deal

[SasukeX16]

I get your point but it's only been 10 months

[Prime157]

I get your point about time, but sometimes it's supply and demand.

[Ausbo]

I would just wait. These remastered games drop in price very quickly

[rodiabloalmeida]

Good point.

[ABizzel1]

Agreed

Tomb Raider was $20 off on amazon 2 weeks later. However, I can see them being a bit more stingy with TLoU, considering everyone knows it's one of the best games last gen, and there are a bunch of former xbox gamers wanting to play it.

I couldn't support, Tomb Raider (had the digital version on PS3 anyway) or Ground Zeroes (Redbox $2) when they did it, and I won't support this either, but as soon as that price drop happens it's mine.

[MatrixxGT]

Exactly, as soon as the sucker sales drop so will the price. You can get TR for $ 25-35 now yet there was people complaining about it being 60.

Price will go down quick, probably a month after release.

[Geekman]

The only reason I'm not calling this game Fraud Edition is because it will let 360 fans who switched to PS4 play The Last Of Us. Of course, I still feel cheated, considering this wouldn't have had to happen had the PS4 been given Backwards Compatibility.

[hkgamer]

backwards compatibility was never going to happen. not for ps3 games anyway.

its also a shame that tomb raider got attacked so much because of rleasing the definitive version and nothing is being said about tlou

[Tempest317]

Would you feel cheated when backward compatibility added 150-200 (at least)dollars in price and increased the ps4 form facto by a considerable amount? They cant magically add in bc, not hardware based anyways, and software bc is a far cry (in most cases) from perfect, and is mediocre in most cases ive seen. Somy found out last gen that it wasnt viable, amd that a lot of gamers didnt want it or like it.

[Geekman]

@hkgamer. The Wii U and 3DS are the cheapest current gen hardwares on the market, (Aside from the Ouya.) and both have backwards compatibility. I doubt those features added on 150-200 dollars worth of money into development? I get what you're saying, but THAT much money?

[Delsin_Rowe]

The first version of PS3 had back compability but look what happen no body wanted it since it with the backwards compality raised the PS3 price is if PS4 would have BC then it will cost more. Sony did suffer for it in couple of years with the first PS3 edition loosing money but now they learned there no need since people didn't bought it. Well there PlayStation Now it's a stream Backward Compatibility that add HD definition to PS1-3 games, with added new mission in every games that could be play on PC, PS3, PSVITA,TABLETS, PHONES, TV, PS4.

[Tempest317]

@geekman

It absolutely would have added that much. Think about it, theyre taking 90% of the hardware of the ps3 and shoving it into the same box. But they cant just pull pieces out of the ps3 and put them in, the have to redesign them to get the to fit with ps4 hardware and of course have to factor in the extra heat(possibly adding more cooling hardware) amd likely a bigger power supply than ps4 has currently.

The 3ds and wii u are bc with cheap and relatively simple (low power envelope/smaller die)hardware. Im sure the cell would require quite a bit more than either of those do

[Baccra17]

@below - Why is it that everyone always spouts the same propaganda about backwards compatibility?

According to Jack Tretton himself in an interview in the early days of PS3, having backwards compatibility only added PENNIES to the price of the PS3 system. They got rid of backwards compatibility because PS3 couldn't compete with PS2! No one wanted to buy the crap that was offered to PS3 at the beginning of it's life for the outrageous price of $60 when you had great/better games on the PS2 that were priced $49.99, $39.99, and even less! That's why they REALLY got rid of backwards compatibility, and the reason why they made SURE it wasn't here now.

Listen to Cherny's interviews about PS4 again- developers did not want backwards compatibility. Why would that be? Oh, yeah- they would have to compete with PS3 games that would be cheaper and cost less- cutting into the sales of the "next-gen" titles they produced.

[Tempest317]

@Baccra17

It seems we must have read two completely different interviews then. Do you have a link to the source? If it only cost pennies, then why did the ps3 systems without the chip get a $100 price drop after they were removed?

[hkgamer]

an upgrade would have been nice. but that doesnt really have to happen.

i do think that sony or publishers should start giving gamers a crossbuy option. i wouldnt mind payin an extra £10-15 for a vita version of a ps3/4 game. obviously i dont mean the last of us, but i am saying for multiplat games.

[Prime157]

An upgrade option for $30 ish would be awesome.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

I hope the final version ends up looking better than that. From that little video it looks the same as the PS3 version.

Edit: Except the view does look a bit closer.

[bromtown]

Over a year ago? It only came out in June 2013.

[combatcash]

I think that's sony's call. I would have loved if they would have improved the textures actually reworked the game a bit more.

[wannabe gamer]

you bought it over a year ago???? it hasnt even been out for a year yet.

[Xer0_SiN]

day one buy...again :)

[Syntax-Error]

Ah hell yeah this is WORTH $60....NOT

[Syntax-Error]

You guys are a bunch of hypocrites. 3 days ago this site was flooded with positive comments about buying again and getting it in 1080p at 60FPS w/ DLC. Now everyone is against it. GTFOH you frauds. One dude told me he was going to bubble me down because I WAS TROLLING by saying Sony should be ashamed of themselves by selling a rehashed PS3 game on PS4 for full price. Now everyone agrees all of a sudden after looking at the side by side comparison. Middle finger to all of you

[DoubleM70]

So far it doesn't look like a strong enough upgrade to play it again. My honest opinion is that they putting out this game because none of the 1st party games are not coming until Christmas.

[Syntax-Error]

DoubleM, I have been saying that for a while now. I am sure Sony has exclusives, but they are not ready and this game is nothing but filler. They are trying to recoup some money while they are in hiatus. The original game sold 4.4M, so if they sell 1M on rehashed bullshit, that's 60M for doing NOTHING. It's a win/win for them. Naughty Dog said the team has already started work on Uncharted 4, so they are not bringing anything out anytime soon, so this money funds those projects

[Jonny5isalive]

yes, PS4 has closer Giraffes. I think its a little late for 10$ upgrade. Its not coming out a few weeks after ps3 version. Would be cool if it cost 40$, but its pretty new of a game.

I will buy it again when it goes on sale because I sold my ps3 and I really liked the multiplayer. I hope they add a harder mode than survivor too. That would be cool.

[Canadianfubar]

Try 69.99 in Canada....holy hell. That is way to much for a remastered game. Remastered games should be sold for at least $10 bucks less mandatory than new IPS.
I will not being paying that much for a older gamer, sorry Sony!!

[Dynasty2021]

£40-50 on TLOU? I frigging LOVED TLOU on PS3, easily in my top 5 games of all time, even as a PC player, but I wouldn't honestly pay more than around £20 for this.

It's great for those that have never played the game and have rightfully converted from Xbox to PS4, and easy money for ND and Sony from the morons that buy the game again at full price, but to those that have played it, it's kinda pointless.

I'll happily wait until at least the end of the year before picking this up 2nd hand.

[_FantasmA_]

I don't think the $10 upgrade would fair because that mean you'd just pay $10 and get the remastered version plus all the extra content. If they do a $10 upgrade, you should only get the base game, otherwise all those people that bought the season pass or individual packs are going to be pissed.

[THC CELL]

worst side by side ever, also im going to give naughty dog my money as this game is worth it.

[theEx1Le]

I agree, The new version is 1080p and the crappy youtube video wouldn't do it justice in normal circumstances but the fact it only goes to 720p is absurd in a comparison.

[corvusmd]

Really not a huge difference according to this video.

[Oner]

You are technically correct, as

a) Youtube only supports 30fps so you really can't "SEE" a difference
b) The video itself is not a native resolution direct capture of either game
c) And it has also been compressed...you know because it's a Youtube video.

But something tells me you didn't mean it the way I explained it.

[IIZANGETSUII]

And according to the pics from other news, its not the video, its not youtube, theres almost NO difference so its not worth 60 bucks, just for the poeple who havent played it yet.

[ScareFactor]

But is okay because it is a Playstation exclusive

[JackVagina]

wat?

http://i.imgur.com/WvKf9BV....
http://i.imgur.com/WHBiRS9....

[Oner]

So hold up IIZANGETSUII, let me get this straight...what you are trying to say is that you can somehow actually tell the difference between how frames per second look without actually having to see them correctly in motion?

Because still/static images of pics cannot in any way shape or form ~ depict MOTION. i.e. FPS (frames per second) thus they need to be viewed in their respective speed properly.

And the videos used in this article were captured & processed on Youtube which as I said has a 30fps cap as well as compresses/artifacts the displayed file.

So while I am not particularly surprised to have to basically re-iterate the same thing in my previous comment, I am amazed that you can somehow "see" motion (fps) in a still image/picture. When that in itself makes the game VISUALLY DIFFERENT.

Not too mention, how you can somehow manage to NOT see graphic fidelity in the comparison for some odd reason?

[IIZANGETSUII]

@Oner The "graphic fidelity" that youre talking about its not that great for a "remastered" edition that not even 1 yr old, plus the 60fps thing will not make the graphics better, its just make the game looks smoother, just that.

AND like i said its worth for the people who didnt play it before or just for the die hard fans.

[Oner]

Yeah okay ~ http://n4g.com/news/1491928...

[IIZANGETSUII]

@Oner, So your answer is a link that show exactly what im talking about even in the comments rofl, thanks man.

[Oner]

Yep it's confirmed, you are delusional. You see/believe what you want to see/believe and not the truth based on actual facts.

You just proved your bias and closed minded pov...either that or you're not that good of a gamer if you CAN'T see a difference ~ my guess all of the above (especially the latter).

Here I'll make it simple and just quote DigitalRaptor (I am sure you saw it but refuse to acknowledge it) from the same article that oddly enough you didn't even comment in ~ http://n4g.com/user/useract...

"Double the pixel density, higher resolution textures, better anti-aliasing, better lighting, better shadows, smoother frame rate."

If after that you STILL want to hold ever so desperately onto the "almost no difference" pov then you really need some deep introspective on why you so adamantly believe something that is not true.

But even then I highly doubt you have the capability or maturity to admit it.

[IIZANGETSUII]

@Oner Sure w/e makes you happy man, seem like u refuse to read the comments, im not the only one saying theres almost no difference but apparently you just can admit that most of the poeple see no big improvement just the Sony fanboys that are plague in this site, and by your history comment well your one of them, i shoulda looked for that before, shame on me for arguing with a fanboy, im out peace.

[Oner]

LMFAO! You claim I'm a fanboy yet you swear there is "no difference" when the absolute fact there is...as I said you are delusional. Only a true fanboy would vehemently deny facts under any circumstance as you have proven here (as well as looking over your previous posts as well).

But whatever you're the one that has to #dealwithit for this whole generation of being wrong at every turn.

[HexxedAvenger]

I will get this. Seeing as I haven't played the ps3 version yet.

[oODEADPOOLOo]

Not the best comparison, but its still too early for one... and IDK if its just me but when I saw the giraffes move on the PS4 version they looked like they were on fast forward and the PS3 slide showed them moving slower, but more "majestically". I'll probably get this eventually since I never got to play it, comparison dosen't really turn me away even if graphics were to be similar.

[stamps79]

Lol, really? I'm ill pass, I'll just play it on my PS3 again.

[scott182]

They do look similar based off of the clip, TLoU was always a pretty game. I imagine when some longer clips of uncompressed 60 fps gameplay start getting released it may be a bit more noticeable.

[mrpsychoticstalker]

It looks exactly the same, money grabbing much eh Sony?

[jcnba28]

That's exactly what they're doing. I mean what is the whole point of PS Now if they're gonna be releasing "remastered" versions of games less than 1 year old?

[URNightmare]

Idk, ask Rock Star, Microsoft, SquareEnix, Take Two and all the other publishers doing the same for well received games. If Tomb Raider was well received, hell, the best game EVER will definitely be well received too.

[mushroomwig]

Good job nobody is forcing you to buy them then, huh?

[Back-to-Back]

This is the exact reason why ps4 doesnt support backward compatability. They want to resell you ps3 games with a slight bump in resolution.

Would better graphics make the last of us better? No, since its a story driven game.

[URNightmare]

Do you know what it would take to have bc for PS3 games on PS4? Do you have any knowledge on the hardware on bith consoles and how it will make the PS4 big in design and more expensive?? Some people think that putting bc in new consoles is a simple thing. Microsoft could have done it easier cuz the 360 and XBone have similar architecture. The PS3 and PS4 are VERY different in that department.

Ignorance at its finest.

Btw, wait until you see more footage and comparisons. They said it looked like the cut scenes in the PS3 version and THAT is a big difference, it can be seen in the characters and the whole environment. Some of you are gonna eat your words pretty soon! ;)

[DigitalRaptor]

1) No, it doesn't look exactly the same.

2) YouTube doesn't allow 60fps videos to be uploaded.

2) Each version is low quality sourced not native. Terribly focused video is terrible.

3) http://dkjdz4k7deoi9.cloudf... http://forums.n4g.com/fb.as...

[rainslacker]

Everyone is releasing HD remakes. Square(FFX, KH), Sony(lots of them last gen and now TLOU), MS(Fable Anniversary, Halo), Capcom had quite a few, etc.

Apparently there are enough people that want these remakes. If you don't like the price don't buy it. Never understood why people complain when they'll be cheaper a month after release anyways.

[Scrivlar]

Can't see too big a difference but it means when I buy this one I've got it for years to play whenever I like and I can start packing away my PS3 for good. Definitely worth it for me.

[AD705]

I loved TLOU I have it and it was one of my favorites last year but spending 60 bucks for a remastered version that doesnt even look that much different this is a ripoff.

[Sly-Lupin]

The only thing I expect the Remaster to actually do is demonstrate just how many PS4 gamers are shallow graphics-whores.

[AD705]

Ahmen to that. WHat you're really doing is just spending 60 bucks for 30 extra framerates and 1080p. It really just makes me wish they would put BC in these next gen consoles. Sure it would drive the cost up a bit but I would not mind paying a bit extra for something better.

[Sly-Lupin]

Sony learned with the PS3 that if they removed B/C. they could get gamers to pay full price to re-purchase old games again.

Anti-consumerism FTW.

[hkgamer]

many people didnt get to buy the first one. it gives them chance to buy it this time round. not every ps4 owner has a ps3. also tlou came out late. some ps3 gamers may have stopped gaming on that cnsole.

another point is that 60fps is not something that would go under the graphics whore category.

@sly-lupin

i agreed with your message. sony didnt learn that taking bc will mean they could get gamers to pay full price for repurchasing old games.

they took bc away because it was too expensive. also old games were never full price.

however, sony could have easily delayed the last of us and release it together with ps4. but that would have been a bad business choice and more money can be made this way.

[scott182]

Shallow graphics-whores lol. Didn't everyone that upgraded to next gen prove that they want updated resolution and graphics? Why else would people let a huge corporation talk them into spending more money on a new machine? A more powerful machine doesn't make a game more fun.

Or maybe name calling is just a defense mechanism brought on by resolution jealousy.

[Skate-AK]

Did you even stop to think how much larger the PS4 would be if they put RSX and the Cell in there? Not even mentioning the extra heat and power consumption.It's not some conspiracy to get you to buy their games again. At the end of the day, you are the one in control of your wallet.

[Scrivlar]

I slightly resent the accusation that I'm a graphics whore because I'm willing to buy it again, I love games like TLOU, AC4, GTAV, TR, and they all came out so late on the console that I'm happy to buy it again so I have it for a longer time, that's all.

[Clover904]

Obviously these side by side comparisons are becoming increasingly irrelevant. Not only does the video compression bog down the quality, but YouTube doesn't play at 60 fps. This video comparison is a joke.

[Skate-AK]

Agree.

[LKHGFDSA]

the game's not in 60FPS anyway. (I know the original trailer was, but the game isn't.)

[Clover904]

No, the ps3 is not 60fps. The ps4 version will be, thus rendering the comparison video above an inaccurate representation of the Remastered version.

[TomahawkX]

hard to see difference when the youtube video is capped at 720p 30fps, while the PS4 version is 1080p and 60fps. You can still see some differences like better AA and better shadows and foliage.

[hkgamer]

the wall they are leaning on looks alot better aswell, not sure if it is bumpmappin or if its a completely different wall

[ExitToExisT]

They should have priced this $40.

[JackVagina]

IF someone brought the PS3 version over the PS4 version that would mean the PS3 version would make them more money, how exactly does that make sense?

TLOU: PS3 - 40$ + Season pass = 60$

TLOU: PS4 = 60$

[ado908]

No difference not buying on ps4 when the same is on ps3 which I have

[Kemosabe]

No one is forcing you to buy it. As for me it's worth it if you have not played it yet

[ado908]

@Kemosabe its just that naughty dog is my number 1 developing team. Maybe im jumping the gun because that could have been a ps3 footage. I have the game on ps3 and would love to have it on ps4 if there is a decent amount of a jump. I just have to wait it out I guess. I know im not being forced into buying it but voicing in an opinion matters. 60 dollars for pretty much the same thing is a big deal especially for those who bought and loved the game in the first place

[Shane Kim]

I almost wish that the differences is as small as possible between the two versions, because now, over 6 million people will have the inferior version of the two. Why couldn't they just wait and release it on PS4 when it's not even a year old?

With that said I'll buy this day one since I never had the chance to play the PS3 version.

[trancefreak]

It is because Sony was/is still releasing AAA titles for Ps3.

Following Sony's trend they usually cap last console gen off with a big title as well.

[gamer1980]

not much of a difference

[vandal GAB]

Too early for the Comparisons don't you think?

[fluxmulder]

Until they announce "fun" as a new feature, I'll pass.

[toddybad]

I had a an Xbox 360 before moving to PS4 so I might pick this up as it's apparently a gret game. If you've already purchased the game for PS3, however, you'd have to be a complete idiot to buy it again on PS4 just for a small improvement in graphics, surely?

[rainslacker]

I'm personally going to wait for the price to drop. I loved it the first couple playthrus, and I think by the time it comes out and eventually drops in price I'll be ready to play it again.

Otherwise, I wouldn't consider people to be idiots for buying it again. Some people just really like the game, and any improvement for them is a good thing.

Otherwise on the pricing issue for new buyers. The PS3 version is still $40 on amazon($60 at Game, and the season pass will cost another $20. So really, the PS4 version is the same price as the PS4 one.

I also think to date, no one has really seen how much improvement there will be. The original looked really good to begin with, so I'm expecting higher resolution, better textures, and better lighting.

[bloodybutcher]

Well, i guess some ppl have more disposible income than others.i know i don't xD i did have tlou on ps3, played it through twice,then sold it to get gta5 much cheaper.but when i eventually get ps4...tlou shall be in my collection once more.though maybe not for 60 or 70€.

[Predaking77]

I have already finished TLOU 3 times on PS3. I would like to play it on PS4 but not at $60. If there is an option to upgrade the game to PS4 then yes I would play it once again.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

I do think this is a good move by Sony, for PS4 adopters who didn't have a PS3 and didn't play The Last of US, because this game is pretty much a masterpiece.

I also think it will help make The Last of Us 2, an even bigger deal, if they ever make part 2, which they would be crazy not to.

[CrossingEden]

That's a very small minority of ps4 owners.

[SnotyTheRocket]

Not really. Lot's of people didn't like what Xbox was offering at the time (not hating), and switched to PS4, from their 360s.

[Delsin_Rowe]

50% of Xbox360 Owners have PS4 so that pretty big.

[rainslacker]

According to VGChartz(not the best source I know) TLOU only sold to about 6% of the PS3 install base(said to have sold 4.4 million globally). It's highly probable that many people that upgraded never played TLOU.

Lets face it. When TLOU came out, there was no shortage of games to play. Some of them really big titles.

[No_Limit]

I'll wait for it to go down to $30 before buying. Already played it on PS3 to death.

[angelsx]

I'm hoping if they can upgrade the AI.At least how is in the demo from E3 2012.
http://youtu.be/kbLOokeC3VU

[IaussieGamer]

not a great comparison as its only 720P

[wannabe gamer]

doesnt look much different at all. lusher colors which isnt even something that can be attributed to next gen

[asyouburn]

Because of the video, the two major bullet points of this remaster (1080p and 60fps) you can't see. So there's that

[wannabe gamer]

if thats all it has going for it then thats not much of a remastering.

[kornbeaner]

So glad I held off. I didn't have money at launch to buy it. Then it became a thing where I needed PS4 then I kept holding off. Now I get to play a remastered version of the game, pretty sweet!

[Bhuahahaha]

ill pass. i wont support this kind of a trend.
i didnt bought a ps4 just to buy a polish ps3 games

ill just go w8 for a sequel or just grab a ps4 game.

[bloodybutcher]

it's not polish, the witcher is xP

[ColonelRex]

lol Making a remastered version of The Last Of Us for PS4 is like trying to shine a gold bar.

[MaxwellBuddha]

More like polishing a turd.

[heisenberguk]

Don't let the door hit you on your way out!

[kingduqc]

I think it's a great way to show how absurd the console model is. On pc you would upgraded the gpu instead of buying a new console and still have the huge library you can play on higher definition and settings without rebuying your games twice.

Think about it, in 6 years you want to play it again well on pc you would be playing it in 4k and the game would just scale with time and hardware available at the time, no fees added to the game.

Charging 60$ + tax for a game you bought a year ago for something similar to changing resolution in a menu is just ridiculous what ever brand loyalty you got. It's great for ps4 owners since they don't have much to play these days and people with ps4 and no ps3 but frankly you can see one of the big flaws of closed platform like consoles.

I just wish I could just buy 1 gaming system and not have to deal with all the "exclusives" I could cut in 3 the hardware purchase I have and keep the big library of games even if I decide to upgrade, gaming would be just better in every way. Plus no forced fees charged on you and a bigger pool of games.

[ColonelRex]

I've gotta disagree with you. If their were only one console, the gaming industry would get stale and there would be no innovation. You think if there were only PCs, games would be better? They wouldn't. No developer is gonna spend the time and the money maxing out a GTX Titan. There is no way they would be able to make as much money as they would when developing for lesser hardware.

[BladerunnerZX]

I dont see much difference even considering that this is a youtube vid.

I saw a big difference in Tomb Raider Remastered but this, very little if any.

The PS3 version is great as is. Lets get into the Next gen now.

[heisenberguk]

As much as I enjoyed my £40 PS3 version I'm not spending another £50 for a better looking version but I'll definitely get it again down the line when it's cheaper or just play it on psplus in 2 yrs time!

[heisenberguk]

What kind of a comparison is that ffs! haha

[candy_mafia]

Do not be fooled!

Naughty Dog are trolling us!

...the teaser was not PS4 visuals, it's a trick, just wait 'til E3...just wait!!! :)

[MasterofMagnetism]

Need to see a gameplay comparison.

[once_a_jedi]

With my internet connection ( 3G dongle ),the Left Behind D L C would cost +- $100 in data charges to download,so it's less expensive for me to buy the re-mastered version. Downloading full games could cost me $1000.00,so I'm disks only.

[GordyNYC]

I bought both the digital version and the dlc on the ps3 and hope that I can buy the ps4 version for 9.99. I won't be picking it up if it's much higher than that

[LKHGFDSA]

One thing that I expect to be improved is the slowdowns when enemies are loaded. That kinda ruined the game on PS3 for me since it was big warning every time you're about to encounter enemies. Seeing them by surprise while you're sneaking around is the way it should be.

I wonder if there will be any use of the lightbar, speaker and touchpad on the controller like Tomb Raider did?

[Imalwaysright]

And some people say that BC doesn't matter.

[J_Cob]

I remember reading an article where Naughty Dog said they create high quality assets before making them workable on PS3 hardware. IE, reducing the polygon count, texture resolution and whatnot. Hopefully by the time it releases they up the texture quality a bit more and add anisotropic filtering. The grass texture doesn't look too different in the PS4 version

[Orionsangel]

Next Gen, the gen where we remaster last gen games.

[Platinum_k]

First Tomb Raider, now this...

Not to mention ALL COD games!

[nerdman67]

Prepare yourself, there are more remastered editions coming too

[kevnb]

this gen you wont see much change game play wise, but pop in, jaggies, low res blurriness, terrible frame rates etc... are going away. This is why I have been playing on pc, this gen im tempted to stop ugrading and get a ps4

[Orionsangel]

I think they jumped the gun with next gen. Most of the next gen games just aren't ready yet. They're gonna take years to make. Meanwhile they're stalling with the few next gen games that are ready to launch and remastered editions of last gen games.

[UNKLE]

Im the only one who think ps4 version FXAA or what ver AA used is the picture is unclear? just look ellie backpack or joel cloth the ps3 picture version more clear..

[Mozef]

I will get the game no matter what. This is a great game, and I'm sure it will look fantastic in PS4.

[Platinum_k]

I have the PS3 version and I will pay AT MOST $34.99 for this game for the PS4...

NOT $59.99

It's not THAT much of a difference. Same game play, same story but slightly improved visual. No Thanks

[kevnb]

its way better visually, but it is the same game.

[sebzhd]

Hard to do a comparison real gameplay vs youtube video

[Sh0ckWav3]

wow. not to much difference..

[mmj]

The biggest difference will come from playing a 1080P native game on a native 1080P TV, you can't show that difference in a Youtube video.

[TitanUp]

this game is getting lots of beef, imo the ps4 looks cleaner the ps3 screen just looks to sharp.

[bornsinner]

looks like just another resolution boost & AA, higher polycounts, shaders & effects like AO would've make more of an impact... and a game that came out last year should be free to people who already bought the ps3 version, i'll still be getting it, i quite liked the multiplayer, no gears of war but still was fun.

[BABY-JEDI]

It's a strange article this one. Comparing brilliance against brilliance. Know what? I will take the one with extra brilliance thanks. Also with an even more brilliant TLoU 2
; )

[Mozef]

Ha ha ha ha ha well said brother.

[Akuma2K]

I never played the PS3 version but definitely picking up the remastered version (will add nicely to my PS4 game collection).

I remember people giving Tomb Raider Definitive Edition a lot of slack when it was being remastered for PS4, when the game came out it was smashing success.

[Mozef]

Excatly, I'd say the same, just let us see more of the remastered version and more details , and people can judge it.

[Rageanitus]

Im ok for remakes on consoles (since there is no backwards compatability), but to charge full price that is highway robbery.

[Gamer666]

I'm sure people can see differences between the two, but those differences won't be easily noticed by gamers.

The big difference I am excited about is the frame rate from holding 30 consistently to 60 all the time.

Can't wait to play this game again!

[kevnb]

i can tell right away, i dont see how anybody with 20/20 vision cant.

[Gamer666]

Yep, in the middle of a crazy shoot-out or survival gameplay, gamers are going to notice the difference much...

Sure...

The difference between 720p and 1080p is noticeable as I stated, but in the middle of gameplay it is more subliminal then at the front of your mind. 60 fps will make more difference.

I played MGS Ground Zeros on both last gen and this gen consoles... I did notice differences in the environments, but they were negligible and really didn't really make me think. But, frame rate was a completely different story. The frame rate on last gen consoles looks primitive to this generation. That is the biggest thing I have noticed so far between the gens. Last gen 30 fps barely... This gen, 30 is rock solid in every game and many games push 60 fps.

Web videos don't do frame rate differences justice. But, I encourage anyone who thinks resolution is more important then frame rate to go and play MGS Ground Zero on both gens of consoles and then judge for yourself.

[Rageanitus]

They better no charge full price like Tomb Raider.
This is why I tend to point towards PC gaming.... you pay for a game and lets say its not the highest quality... you still have the potential of playing it again a higher quality in the future without paying a dime.

[Funky Town_TX]

Cash grab. Nothing more. I lost a little respect for ND.

[GAMExxOVER]

Sorry, I did not see much difference, hell, the PS3 looked a little better.

[kevnb]

blind?

[GAMExxOVER]

I guess so. Because the difference is scant. I guess all crappy console graphics look the same to me. Put it out on PC then we can talk.

[GAMExxOVER]

If they want money, release it for PC

[nerdman67]

Ill buy it for like 20 bucks next year

[kevnb]

I wish i waited to play this, still was a good game despite the limitations of the ps3.

[finito82]

i got to say i think it looks amazing.
