The Last of Us: Remastered pre-orders are 'looking strong,' says SCEE

Speaking during an interview with the latest issue of MCV, Sony Europe’s John Walker revealed that The Last of Us: Remastered will be backed by an extensive marketing campaign that will see the post-apocalyptic adventure strutting its stuff on everything from TV ads to London train stations.

Walker also said that pre-orders for the Naughty Dog’s PlayStation 4 debut title, which adds 1080p visuals running at 60fps, plus a host of other cosmetic touches, are “looking strong.”

its good news and bad news. i like that this game is being remastered, but id much rather new games

[XiNarutoUzumaki]

How is this bad news? Also, Naughty Doge has a new IP in mind. Patience is a virtue my friend.

[tbone567]

Which will sell more masterchief collection or this. We'll find out which is the best soon.

[The_Hero]

I'd rather get 2 new vita games.

[HeWhoWalks]

Nah, more games are always good news. The only bad news is for people that don't like The Last Of Us have to deal with another round of it - in which case, I'd say: "get over it".

OT: Sounds good! 19 days to go!

[patsrule316]

Its new to me! Looking forward to it. It'll come right after the Destiny beta. Perfect timing.

@patsrule316
It's not new to me, and I'll be playing it on my PS4 and enjoying it every bit as much as I did on one of my many playthroughs on the ps3! I'm really looking forward to playing the Left Behind dlc, as I held off on buying it hoping for a ps4 version of TLOU, and I am also looking forward to hopping into the multiplayer, which I did not do on ps3 version.

[Bathyj]

Well ND are making a new game too. Whats the problem?

Remember nearly 80m PS3 gamers DIDNT play the Last of Us. And the same for X360.

Thats a lot of potential customers they were maybe waiting for a great game to jump into next gen. This is it.

[Dojan123]

I am one of them. Never picked up with my PS3. Already pre-ordered and looking forward to playing. I even heard the multi-player is fun.

[KinjoTakemura]

And to think, some know-it-alls actually thought that this game wouldn't sell much.

[XiNarutoUzumaki]

Haters gonna hate when they see the amount of people who missed this masterpiece buying this game.

[HyperBear]

19 Days To Go!!!! But Best Buy can ship mine today if they like, that would be awesome! lol :D

[captain_slow82]

theres alot of 360 owners that have jumped ship to the ps4 so this is ripe for the picking :D

its all lining up for a very good sequel :D

have to remember this is still pretty much a new ip from sony

as a person that owns an loves it on ps3 will i be getting it on ps4? hell yes i am woooo :D

[Austin48]

Awesome news I can't wait for the sequel.

[Raider69]

What about the discount for people that own the PS3 version,didnt ND and Sony told they were thinking a way to give owners of the PS3 version a way to upgrade for cheaper..i guess they change their minds after seeing the strong pre-orders.What away to screw does that supported the PS3 release!

[Bathyj]

I would love an upgrade program but I dont feel screwed at all.

The game came out a year ago, would you have really waited a year for the one of the best games ever made?

PS4 version is essentially a GotY edition with all the DLC, just coming to a new console and audience.

In fact I think they should be calling it that, and releasing it on PS3 with the DLC as well, that way people would have nothing to say about all this year old game thing. GotY editions come out all the time. Only difference is this game was actually the Game of the Year.

If the price really sticks in your craw, do what I did with Tombraider. Wait a few weeks, buy it half price, enjoy the hell out of it.

[Spotie]

If they were just thinking about it, how did they change their minds?

[MegaRay]

You can simply ignore it, you dont have to buy it.
I have the PS3 version, and wont through a $50 for it.

[Mr Marvel]

I haven't pre-ordered, but definitely buying day 1.

It's very rare that I pre-order games, although I have pre-ordered Diablo III: RoS UEE on PS4.

[N8]

Yea it has to have some sort of preorder bonus worth having.

[younglj01]

TLoU remaster is just an teaser for UC4....

[jc48573]

This is a smart business move coming from Sony and who would've thought that the game was a success very late in the cycle of the PS3.

[Letthewookiewin]

Got mine pre ordered! My PS4 version will sit next to my PS3 collectors ed :)

[KinjoTakemura]

I knew TLOU on PS4 would sell back in February when I was posting on Playstation forums and suggesting the game be ported to PS4. Later on we all learn that Naughty Dog already had plans to port the game. LOL
