Glad i preordered it on disc as i have limited download usage.

CrimsonWing69979d ago

I’m pretty sure it’s the same size on physical. Unless you’re referring to not downloading the patch.

YourMommySpoils979d ago

Don't you still have to install that whole data from disc to system to play? Only PS3 games can be played from disc from my experience.

RavenWolfx979d ago

Really depends on how they handled it. Sometimes the disc is purely a Key and only has a few hundred MB on it and you still have to download the other 67.8gb.

S2Killinit978d ago (Edited 978d ago )

I’m paying $6 per gallon at the moment. Lol

mastershredder979d ago

Groundbreaking remake with Patches. Quality through and through. $olid.

MadLad979d ago

Sony is definitely good at reselling their old content.
I can't wait to buy God of War, yet again, next gen for $70.
Even better if it's $80 at that point!
Even better, they should remaster it right at the end of this generation for full price, then sell a remake that's not really a remake, but it's totally a remake within the first year of the PS6.

That would be tight.

CS7978d ago

You’re a genius!

Are you Jim Ryan’s son?

S2Killinit978d ago

Did anyone force you to buy it?

Mobis-New-Nest978d ago

Something tells me you're being sarcastic?

garryxcs978d ago

Sounds more like you're good at buying their old content and then complaining about it.

RickRoland978d ago

This “old content” is better than anything in the current X|S catalog. It must sting.

MadLad978d ago

@rick

I like their content too.
I just won't buy it again, and again, and again.

The more people realize how crappy Sony is becoming, the better they'll have to be to compete down the road.

I'm not a fanboy. I'm not playing into their BS this gen.
I hope Microsoft wrecks them this gen because they're actually improving in a large way as PlayStation seems to be fighting for the most anti-consumer games company running

Army_of_Darkness978d ago (Edited 978d ago )

I'd have to agree even though I've been with playstation since the ps1... I don't like the cocky path they are taking.. Game prices increased, $10 for ps5 upgrades, exclusives going to pc, remake after remaster and next on the list is console prices going up after being in the market for a couple years now?! Come on Sony! Stop this madness! Ms is actually looking more gamer friendly for once!

Sony getting ready to milk its fanbase hard....

S2Killinit978d ago (Edited 978d ago )

I would rather they continue to make quality games and “milk” it hard as they wish. No one is forcing anyone to buy anything they dont want to pay for.

Meanwhile people are paying monthly for filler, and god knows how much on the new skins for gaas. But that’s ok right? But god forbid they make a single player masterpiece and milk it. Riiight.

garryxcs978d ago

If you're not a part of the fanbase it doesn't effect you so why concern yourself with it?

TheEroica977d ago

I'm part of the install base. I've owned the last of us on ps3 and ps4... I've beaten the game multiple times. I've payed my way to the point where I get to call this unnecessary remake milking, because it is... What is more worrying is that Naughty Dog may be creatively void of new ideas and thats even more disippointing.

ChubbyBlade977d ago

These same people make fun of Microsoft for doing similar things. They’re a bunch of fanboy hypocrites.

I really can not believe people are defending releasing old games with a slight makeover for more than the original game.

ChubbyBlade977d ago (Edited 977d ago )

Groundbreaking remake? By simply porting it into TLOU2 engine and including basic features?

Alrighty then.

Demons souls and FF7 are groundbreaking remakes. This is a reskin with new accessibility features.

It’s absolutely insane how everyone made fun of Microsoft for making the same things over and over yet are defending Sony for porting the same games over and over and charging more than what they released at.

Fanboyism sure is stupid.

anast979d ago

I'm hyped but I'm going to get Cult of the Lamb and Harry Potter before I buy this one again.

S2Killinit978d ago

I need Harry Potter! “Hogwarts Legacy”

jznrpg978d ago (Edited 978d ago )

I’m getting Harry Pooter too but it’s not until next year . TLOU I’m playing with my wife watching me as she loves post apocalyptic type movies so thinking she will like this then going straight to GoW and then Valkyrie Elyisum . I’ll get Cult the Lamb later when all of the bugs are fixed .

anast978d ago

My wife has first game on Harry Potter. So, I'll have to wait a bit longer after release. lol TLOU I and II are my favorite. I just replayed them both. I can't wait to see this version though. Good to know on Cult of the Lamb. I'll keep my eye out for the patches, then grab it when it looks good.

LoveSpuds978d ago

I really want to play Cult of the Lamb but I will wait for the physical release I think.

anast978d ago

That would be cool. I'm sure the art will be worth the wait, for sure.

whitbyfox978d ago (Edited 978d ago )

Can’t wait for this to come to premium.

Knushwood Butt978d ago

It will come to Extra at some point, so it's good to have something to look forward to.

LoveSpuds977d ago

I hope that PlayStation fans don't start to have their purchasing habits affected by PlayStation Plus services in the same way Gamepass has impacted the xbox community.

In my opinion, if fans stop buying 1st party games then it's inevitable that Sony's studios will stop investing such large budgets in their titles.

Obviously, folks will argue that ND have already made their money from TLoU, and maybe that is true to some degree, but generally speaking, I would hate to see PlayStation fans not buying new games on the off chance they will eventually come to PS+

Knushwood Butt976d ago

I have Extra but I'll be buying Ragnarok day 1.

Christopher21d ago (Edited 21d 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?

darthv7221d ago

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

Christopher21d 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.

Cacabunga21d ago

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

OtterX21d ago

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

cloganart21d ago

@Christopher

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

Cacabunga20d ago

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

Notellin20d ago

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

LonDonE20d 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.

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

Inverno21d 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.

darthv7221d 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.

-Foxtrot21d 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”

Inverno21d 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.

Neonridr21d ago

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

Knushwood Butt20d ago

They don't want Metroid Prime holding that record,

NotoriousWhiz20d ago

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

FPS_D3TH21d ago

We are approaching Skyrim levels here

Profchaos21d 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

Christopher21d ago

Not quite. Skyrim had:

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

VersusDMC21d ago (Edited 21d 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/...

darthv7221d 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.

Christopher21d 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.

Profchaos21d 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

Christopher21d 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.

Chevalier20d 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.

I gotta figure RE4 is up there too

FPS_D3TH20d ago

No. Those are remakes. Not remasters

Neonridr20d ago

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

CrimsonWing6919d ago (Edited 19d 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_Bomb21d 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’.

VersusDMC21d 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_Bomb21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

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

Knushwood Butt21d 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

They're really milking this franchise lol

anast31d ago

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

darthv7231d ago

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

31d ago
isarai30d ago

@darthv72

Literally yes 🤨

Cacabunga30d ago

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

anast30d ago

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

Loktai30d 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_Suzumiya30d ago

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

darthv7230d ago

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

thorstein30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

@darth GTAV says hi.

Skyrim has an Alexa edition.

Chevalier30d 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

30d ago
Chevalier30d 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.

darthv7230d 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.

Chevalier29d ago (Edited 29d 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.

Profchaos54d ago

I've liked the recent designs lately but this seems like a bit of a miss I would of expected a more tattered design it's to clean to really sell it as a tlou theme.

lucasnooker54d ago

Nice controller but where are the games?

BABI-PANGPANG54d ago

Not a big fan of the three white symbols. They fit too neatly on the controller, making the design feel too clean for the game's vibe. I think it would work better with either one large symbol or all three in different sizes, with parts cut off at the edges, like a quick, rough paint job meant to stand out rather than look polished.

darthv7254d ago

This controller will get a remaster on PS6 and then a remake for PS7.

MatrixxGT54d ago

Missed opportunity….they could have used the cordysceps virus strands wrapping out it. Spores, vines, anything pertaining to the actual series other than faction symbols.
