This game is masterpiece. But still not worth $60 for just "Lighting, Textures & Effects"

Dojan1234021d ago

What if I never played it? Worth $60? After I play it will I want to play it again? I only played the uncharted games once. I am not a trophy hunter.

CaEsAr-4021d ago

It's definitely worth getting, it's Naughty Dog game. A great story/experience that you'll remember. But I'm against the idea of remastaring a game and selling it for full price.

sonarus4021d ago

Well if you never played it then it is a great game. It might not be a game with great replayability in my opinion because the impact the first time you play it isn't as strong the second time but i might be wrong i never tried to play it twice.

I still haven't played GTA5 because i wanted to get max graphics on PS4 so i am happy and definitely ready to buy that day one

UltraNova4021d ago (Edited 4021d ago )

Guys, I was one of the first people here to question the 60 buck price tag for a year old game but! in my 20 something years gaming anything from an Atari to a high end PC I can probably give you a list of 5-10 absolutely must have/play games to cover all the best of the best ever released...

The Last of Us is right up there with them.

Its that good! And to have the chance to play it again(or for the few lucky for the first time)in its best possible iteration, I say its a no brainer. Plus it will have all the DLC included!

Go right ahead its one of the all time greats.

SamPao4021d ago

I finished the game 5 times. Still going to buy this one and play it at least twice. Its a great experience. Play it on Normal first, then go up indifficulty nd you will love this game even more. Dlc is awesome(included) and the Multiplayer is the best I played in a long time!

BigDog554021d ago

I've played it through at least 5 times !! IMO the best game I've played ever !!

Sokol4020d ago

Absolutely, not to mention the multi-player is excellent. That alone is worth purchasing the game.

starchild4020d ago

I think it is worth it. If you haven't played it before it's a no-brainer. It's an amazing game. One of the most impactful games I have ever played.

anwe4019d ago

If you have never played it IMHO it will most definitely be worth it for you. I also do not care for trophies or achievements, yet I played through it more than once as you can keep your upgrades in new game +. I found it to have an engaging story, and i actually cared about what happened to the two main characters.

Master-H4021d ago

IF you buy it now new on ps3, and buy the season pass, how much will it cost you ? now compare it to the 60 price tag for the ps4 version, maybe 10 dollars extra, i say that's worth the graphics upgrade if you really love the game, in my case i love the mp and my ps3 bluray is dying, so i wanna play it over on the ps4.

0P-Tigrex4021d ago

Only thing i wish for MP is an ability to counter the smoke bomb... that smoke/shiv tactic needs to stop.

Visiblemarc4021d ago

How does this make any sense? If you never played it, then full price isn't unreasonable. If you did play it, then why care how much it is?

Magicite4021d ago

Many people will play it for a first time, so it will be a full experience (also dont forget about included DLCs)

medman4021d ago

I played it on ps3 many times, but never bought the Left Behind DLC hoping for the ps4 version of the game. I'm very much looking forward to getting back into the game July 29th. I also didn't touch the multiplayer, even though many told me it was fantastic. Perfect time to pick it back up in the summer games drought.

DoomeDx4021d ago

What the fuck how can you compare the pre-rendered cutscenes? Compare the actual gameplay

DLConspiracy4021d ago

There's a difference for sure, but its still pretty close. Either way I am gonna finally pick it up next month and enjoy it.

elazz4021d ago

Yeah, it is close but 1080p and double the framerate will definitely make experience even more immersive.

Evilsnuggle4021d ago (Edited 4021d ago )

That how I'm looking at it to. I love the last of us multiplayer . Can't wait to play it in 1080p 60fps I'm still playing TLOU online. So I will upgrade for the multiplayer .

starchild4020d ago

When the art is the same it's hard to notice the other differences in screenshots or low quality internet videos. I can guarantee the difference while playing it will be dramatic.

jcnba284021d ago

Looking forward to picking this up!

cfc834021d ago

Xb1 players get a full trilogy with 100 maps, and we get 1 game with new textures. Doesnt sound like much of a deal to be honest.

Software_Lover4021d ago

Value is subjective, but you can't deny the amount of stuff included with MC Collection.

cfc834021d ago

50 quid though mate for a day on edition. It's a bit steep.

GW2124021d ago

Actually it's 4 games in the bundle. Just saying.

That said, only Halo 2 is remastered. The other three are in original form.

Immorals4021d ago (Edited 4021d ago )

Halo 1 is remastered too..(anniversary edition)

But 3 and 4 are boosted to 1080p 60fps so it's a Lil extra

Software_Lover4021d ago

You get the remastered Halo 1 also. The other two the resolution is upped.

sidenote: When it was first announced I was kind of upset that Halo 3 and 4 was not getting updated, like TLOU is. Then I thought about it and, especially with Halo 4, there is probably no point in doing so.

GW2124021d ago (Edited 4021d ago )

Oh really? The original Halo will have remastered textures, etc? That's awesome then. Thanks for the info. Consider my hype increased.

Wait, I'm amazon and, while it says Halo 1 is an anniversary edition, it doesn't say it's specifically "remastered" like Halo 2 is. Do you have a confirm that Halo 1 is getting a remaster too?

SCW19824021d ago

You sound like a spoiled child talking like that, not cool bro.

Mr Marvel4021d ago

A full trilogy of crap. Halo has always felt so generic. The world is so lifeless and Masterchief has the personality of a robot.

TLoU is a complete masterpiece in every way.

Visiblemarc4021d ago

Well, about 5 years ago I bought the Sega Genesis Collection for the PS3 for $19.99. It featured dozens of games. What I mean to say is it's not an apples to apples comparison. Very old games lose some value, in terms of market perception.

A must re-buy for me.

The greatest game of last gen by a mile imo.

Christopher64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

As expected. Unless it's going to Xbox or Switch 2, we can stop hearing about these older games now? We can move on to just news about new games?

darthv7264d ago

....until the PS6 remake followed by the PS7 reboot

Christopher64d ago

Man, first year of PS6 is going to be 90% remasters. I'm going to hate it and likely hold off until new games actually get released that I can't play on my PS5.

Cacabunga64d ago

Yes I’m waiting for complete remaster…. On ps5

OtterX64d ago

...20 years later, "you haven't heard the last of us yet!" *releases The Last of Us Retro Collection*

cloganart64d ago

@Christopher

Oof, yeah. I don't think I'm picking up the PS6 until "Pro" comes out 😂

Cacabunga64d ago

I haven’t played Tlou1 since PS3 and i have the greatest memory of it

Notellin63d ago

I'm already dreading all the cross generation games and remasters we'll see with the next round of consoles.

LonDonE63d ago

lmao this is getting ridiculous but thing is if people keep buying them.. then why would they stop making them?
Peeps STOP BUYING this game.. that actually hurts me to say this as the last of us is high up on my greatest games of all times.. its one of the few games i played through start to finish 3/4 times back to back as i loved it so much. But sony need to stop, give us a Resistance 3 remaster, i would love and buy that.. such an underated series as was killzone.
Or give us infamous.. so many great series and titles i would gladly buy but they just want to keep giving us last of us.

I am done buying that game.. i would only buy part 2 remaster if they remade it and kept joel alive, or i am not interested. Hate last of us 2s story killing off joel.. the actual game is stunning and incredible, they improved so much in the gameplay department but i hate the story with a passion.

Profchaos64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

We can stop hearing about it when they stop re-releasing them I guess.

I reckon the ps6 version will be 8k 240 and I'll still not care.

I miss new games from nd

Inverno64d ago

And HBO just announced season 3 even tho LoU2 couldn't possibly be so long that it wouldn't be able to fit in 1 season. They're just milking it at this point.

darthv7264d ago

speaking of the HBO series... I felt they should have made part 1 across two seasons, then address part 2 in seasons 3 and 4. so now i have a feeling they rushed through part 1 in season 1 to make season 2 a cliff hanger with Joel's impending demise being the starting point to Season 3.

-Foxtrot64d ago

I love how they decided to rush, chop and change things for Season 1 to get through the game yet for TLOU Part II it’s like “we’re going to do multiple seasons and take our time”

Inverno64d ago

Okay after seeing that there's only 7 episodes I take it back. Though I think it's incredibly stupid not to have just made the season longer. Another season just to finish what could've just been a 13 episode season seems counterintuitive but aiight. I put that on HBO tho.

Neonridr64d ago

This will be the 4th time Sony sells us The Last of Us Part 1.. And the 2nd time on the PS5.

Knushwood Butt64d ago

They don't want Metroid Prime holding that record,

NotoriousWhiz63d ago

Strange, I thought the record went to Street Fighter 2.

FPS_D3TH64d ago

We are approaching Skyrim levels here

Profchaos64d ago

At this point we are at Skyrim in terms of frequency. Skyrim was one per generation. If you exclude VR Skyrim we've now exceeded it

Tlou 1 PS3, 1 PS4 2 ps5
Skyrim 1 ps360 2 PS4/x1/vr 1 ps5/sx

Tlou 4
Skyrim 4

Christopher64d ago

Not quite. Skyrim had:

PS3/360/PC
PS4/X1
VR
Switch
Skyrim Special Edition PC/PS4/X1
Skyrim Special Edition PS5/XSX

VersusDMC64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Also add skyrim bundles like the one below and all the humble bundles since that's what everyone is doing here

https://www.xbox.com/en-CA/...

darthv7264d ago

@Chris, LoU is getting just as bad by milking the same user base. At least Skyrim was able to sell to a wider audience via different platforms.

Christopher64d ago

@darthv72: I don't know why you're telling me that. I only corrected on number of Skyrim re-releases/ports/etc. I didn't say anything else.

Profchaos64d ago

@christopher guess I forgot just how much was out I think the special editions are technically one release despite being cross platform though would the Alexa version count

Christopher64d ago

@Profchaos: I guess, but I'd consider it a separate release since it rolled them into one at a later date but definitely there is a PS5/XSX version with PS5/XSX supported updates specific to them.

Chevalier63d ago

"LoU is getting just as bad by milking the same user base"

Weird. Like 35% of PS5 owners are NEW to Playstation. Plus this is really for new fans from the TV series for season 2 of TLOU.

I recall the same idiotic comments when the 1st one was remade just before TLOU TV Series came out and it went on the be one of the best selling games that year.

So maybe get your FACTS straight. Unlike Skyrim getting literally releases in 3 generations and 10 releases.

Neonridr63d ago

I gotta figure RE4 is up there too

FPS_D3TH63d ago

No. Those are remakes. Not remasters

Neonridr63d ago

@FPS - we've had quite a few RE4 remasters, only 1 remake.

CrimsonWing6962d ago (Edited 62d ago )

@FPS_D3TH

It blows my mind how people do some mental gymnastics to try to cope with a game they like doing the same thing (technically more) they’re complaining about for another game.

RE4 - PS2, GC
RE4 w Motion Controls - Wii
Literally RE4 HD Remaster - Xbox 360, PS3
I’m assuming a port of RE HD - PS4, Xbox One
RE4 Remake - PS5, Xsex

1 Remake and the bunch are Remasters… how, I mean how—Y’know what, it doesn’t matter anymore…

P_Bomb64d ago

Store says I already own it. I guess it’s just a straight twin-pack. Looks like they added 4 maps to ‘No Return’.

VersusDMC64d ago

You don't need to buy this to get the maps, marlene and bill. It all got patched in to the game on the 3rd.

P_Bomb64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Good to know. I’ve watched runs of ‘No Return’ but have yet to try it myself. Soon, soon 😉

Knushwood Butt64d ago

Yeah, No Return got a content update.
Three new trophies too.

A mysterious physical edition of a Naughty Dog game is in the works

That's totally what it is I believe. It would be a great bundle for new players getting into the ecosystem

Goodguy0174d ago

They're really milking this franchise lol

anast74d ago

You must comment on every Mario, Zelda, and Skyrim article too.

darthv7274d ago

....because there has been the same mario, Zelda and Skyrim games for three console generations?

74d ago
isarai73d ago

@darthv72

Literally yes 🤨

Cacabunga73d ago

Every Mario and Zelda is different. This is just the exact same game over and over

anast73d ago

Skyrim, yes. Mario and Zelda since the 80's

Loktai73d ago

@darthv72 Uh yes. Yes it has. They milked BOTW across Wii U and switch and they STILL want 40+ for it new and never discounted it. They made "remasters" of older zelda games as well on switch and in the past onto the other gameboy platforms from the older platforms. They have done the same with Mario. They port the paper mario games and mario RPG to switch. And now I PROMISE you they are going to show "enhancements" for those same games on Switch 2. I PROMISE you thats going to get mentioned, maybe even tomorrow. Last of us Part 1 has been across techncially 3 generations, but 2 has been 2- and JUST BARELY 2 because it released just a few months before the PS5 did - and so if that counts as milking it, what do you call breath of the wild on Wii U then going to switch or Twilight Princess coming uot on gamecube and Wii - OR ZELDA WIND WAKER HD coming out?

"Skyrim games for three console generations?"

Darth showing some idiocy here. Seriously yes Skyrim has been re-released more than any other game period. It's been released on 3 generations - PS3, PS4, PS5, PSVR, PC, PC VR, Switch, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S. That's 10 releases across 3 generations! So Seriously get your DAMN facts straight.

Yui_Suzumiya73d ago

And yet Fallout 3 has never been Remastered. Prison time should be given for that offense, lol

darthv7273d ago

Skyrim sure, but the other two... not so much

thorstein73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

@darth GTAV says hi.

Skyrim has an Alexa edition.

Chevalier73d ago

Clearly a guy with business acumen! Why would Sony want to rebundle games and release them in time for the 2nd season of TLOU to release? I mean the last time a bunch of idiots laughed at Sony then guess what? TLOU part 1 for PS5 only hit top 5 sales and kept popping onto charts throughout the year?! Lol

73d ago
Chevalier73d ago

"Skyrim sure, but the other two... not so much"

Multiple Mario and Zelda games have made 2 generations. Maybe you guys forget that over a 3rd of the gamers on Playstation have NEVER owned a Playstation system before and some are coming into it as a result of the TV show.

People said the EXACT same crap when the 1st game got released on PS5, but, it ended up being one of the best selling games the year it came out.

Also for all the idiots complaining. Playstation at least offer $10 upgrades for some of these games. Have you EVER seen a re-release by Nintendo, Xbox, Bethesda offer that?! No I didn't think so.

darthv7273d ago

releasing a newer version because the previous version is not physically compatible is not quite the same as taking a perfectly good existing game that already works on the newer platform and repackaging it under a remaster brand for that newer platform and then repackaging it AGAIN for the same platform.

And that whole line of *insert people here may not have had a PS before* is a line of BS. PS2 is the most selling platform in history... chances are very good a high percentage upgrade to the PS3 and then upgraded to the PS4 and are upgrading again for the PS5. So dont give me that line of bologna. you'd rather swallow every bit of Sony propaganda instead of call them out for milking (and yes this is milking) this game. You know there will be a PS6 version and likely a PS7 remaster.

Of course i am purely speculating on the 6 & 7 but there is a high degree of probability because of what they did already between 3, 4 & 5. And you defending even the $10 upgrade when most of the XB games get free upgrades is just another sign of your blind loyalty. I didnt think it possible and gave you benefit of the doubt but now I can see i was totally wrong.

Chevalier72d ago (Edited 72d ago )

@Darth

Again your examples are absolutely terrible. Repackaged games for new audiences isn't new with the high cost of development. This release is timed for people that are new to Playstation coming from watching season 2 of the TV show. If you're surprised and annoyed by this then stop gaming then. It will happen if there's some new Skyrim, Fallout, Doom or whatever TV show comes out too.

Also you're the guy who defends Xbox for this crap too. Skyrim releases were done while owned by Xbox.

Also you mentioned the PS2, repackaged games happened all the time then too. If you think that repackaged games is going to go away with the skyrocketing cost of development is going away then sorry cover your eyes and plug your ears and pretend like an idiot then. You will be complaining daily soon.
