The Last of Us Part I: full list of accessibility features

Includes audio descriptions for cinematics and haptic feedback for dialogue and many more accessibility features.

[where-eagles-dare]

This title has brought about much debate. I just unfortunately, don't feel the developers, Druckman in particular, have done enough to persuade me to part with my money, for yet another iteration of the same title within a short number of years.

Ultimately, I feel that the aim is to reach new purchasers of the title, perhaps those whom may watch the new television series.

At the end of the day, please don't insult me, because I am a huge Naughty Dog fan and I have platinumed all their prior games from the Unchartered series onwards.

My main gripe, is that the developers have not added a couple of short new sections. I am simply talking of just expanding on an already beloved level by adding another room or perhaps giving a protagonist an additional extra melee move. Sadly though, this seems not to be the case

You can talk about whether this game is worth it or not, till you're blue in the face, but ultimately at the end of the day, the fundamentals & basics were already in place for this game before redevelopment was deployed for this PS5 title.

This is in my top three favourite games of all time. If I was a PC gamer or a new console owner I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to buy this game. Sadly though, and thiis is my ultimate gripe, 70 quid dollars ,whatever, is just not worth it for me, who has already experienced the story several times over.

Well not to insult you but I don't understand why every single article for this game has to have someone, or usually multiple someone's giving everyone their reasoning for not buying the game and that reasoning is always the price. People keep acting like the game was made specifically for them individually as if there isn't a potential market out there of people that are new to the series. You're not obligated, you don't want to buy it don't, it's that simple. Also this article is about the accessibility features which they should be praised for not the price point which we've already heard enough complaining about so needless to say you're off topic.

[where-eagles-dare]

My entire post has gone over your head. I have nothing but praise for the game.

My extreme disappointment comes from the fact that there seems to be no extra enhancements, such as expanding on the levels adding new melee options and tweaking navigation options or adding of loads of additional enemies.

The price is irrelevant to me. I am totally talking about 'value' for people who have already played the game several times on two previous consoles. An extra lick of graphical sheen is not worth 70 quid to me, whereas adding and expanding upon the levels and adding new enhancements would have been.

However, lastly with all that being said, for people who have never played this game 70 quid is an absolute bargain for this once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece.

Because, as gamers and consumers, you should be holding these companies to higher standards.
Not letting them think they can do low effort, but ask for a high pay out.
Let alone gloat that you're going to support it both vocally and financially.
This is supposed to be Sony's flagship studio, and even people who love them, myself included, are annoyed at what is going on here.
Because that sets a rocky, and greedy, precedent that Sony is seemingly testing the waters for.

@ MadLad

Holding to standards, or just complaining for the sake of complaining? "Low effort"? That's an insult, did you not see the improvements to the game in comparison videos? This was hardly low effort and they are a Flag Ship developer for Sony which is probably why they're a target for all the hate. People can support it vocally and financially all they want, again for the hundredth time it's their money not yours, its ridiculous you call peoples excitement for the game "gloating". Sony isn't "testing" anything, they're putting out a definitive version of a game something we've seen other developers do time and time again and no one outraged about it becasue those games were multi-plat. At the end of the day buy it or don't but you're wasting your time moaning about it.

"My entire post has gone over your head."

Pot meet Kettle.

You're not the target audience and that's ok, you can always just buy ND's next game instead..

"for people who have never played this game 70 quid is an absolute bargain for this once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece."

On that we wholeheartedly agree.

"I just unfortunately, don't feel the developers, Druckman in particular, have done enough to persuade me to part with my money"

This is a bit confusing. Why Druckmann in particular? Doesn't this remake have a different director? Matthew Gallant?

[where-eagles-dare]

If you think the vice president of the entire company doesn't have any sway, then you are gullible in the extreme.

[LucasRuinedChildhood]

Oh, haven't you heard?

Neil Druckmann is the Boogeyman. https://static.wikia.nocook...

"Druckmann [the Boogieman] in particular" This man gets it.

If Cuckmann the glorified coffee boy ruins another Naughty Dog game, I'm saying it now, there will be a reckoning. Sony is going to have to hire more security (don't misinterpret what I'm saying). We will throw boiling coffee at him in the streets. I just wish Bruce Straley and Amy Hennig were still in charge. Neil GroomerMan's scheming ways ruined everything. Go back to Israel, bucko!

Anyway, please search for video(s) explaining why Druckmann is the Boogeyman, and preferably consume at least one new video per day for your own safety. Once thought to be a mythical creature, he has been sent to terrify and torture all of us who dislike TLOU2 for logical, fair reasons (objectively, the worst game ever made if you believe in facts and logic). Leave gaming alone, Neil Boogeyman.

I'm boiling some coffee now.

I hope everyone understands that my comment was parodying some of the crazy comments I've seen on this site. lol

[Good-Smurf]

I already said my reason and moved on.
Give it a rest already.
You don't have to go on and on about it let it go, the game will get cheaper are you going to say this for another month or two until the price dropped or something?

[anast]

Some advice: I would shorten the post. The longer it is the more downvotes you will get. People don't like to read.
When you open with "Druckman..." it makes people think you are a bit on the conservative side, which could mean that you care more about politics than gaming.

I'm hyped about the game which conflicts with what it could mean for gaming as a whole. Anyway, I'm going to buy it when I can.

"If you think the vice president of the entire company doesn't have any sway, then you are gullible in the extreme."

He's actually co-president these days, but so is Evan Wells. Why target Druckmann and not Wells or the 3 co-vice presidents?

[Orchard]

Love this. And I love the fact the industry is going in the direction of making games more accessible to all.

[RickRoland]

Agreed. This is incredibly important.

[Ryuk_2007]

I'm still trying to figure out who this remake is for? The game has been bundled for the ps3 then later the ps4.. for years. Hell, just last year it was given away for free to all ps5 owners in the ps plus collection and now it's being sold again as a $70 remake to all those ps5 owners who never had a chance to play it for free?

[MrNinosan]

It's for people like me, who loved the game on PS3, PS4 and now almost a decade later with incredible improvement.

Then I also bought my favourite movies on VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray, just to get the best out of it.

I don't mind spending 70$ on a game when I know the money is worth it, and in this case also funding their next game which I most likely will love aswell.

It's also for all those people out there who went from Xbox, Nintendo or PC and finally got themselves a Playstation for the first time.

And then it's for those people who where way too young back in the days to play Last of Us, who now have grown older and want to give it a shot.

And to all those none gamers who might have purchased their first console, heard about the TV-Show and want to give it a try.

I see plenty of reasons for this remake, and I'm happy it's soon here. It doesn't slow down development on other projects and it doesn't force anyone to buy it.

[Redemption-64]

It's for anyone that is interested and wants to buy it. You don't need to know who it's for, just know it's there for those who want it.

[where-eagles-dare]

My sincere apologies for levelling a smidgen & a crumb of criticism towards this title. The Sony w*nker Brigade will not allow a shred of criticism.

[anast]

People tend to think an argument is somehow censorship. This should be more concerning to you that what a Sony fan thinks.

[northpaws]

I don't get the hate, if you don't see the value, then don't pay for it. Why spend hours upon hours, going into every articles about this game to tell people why they should hate it too? Why can't people enjoy what they enjoy? You keep your $70, I play my game.

[Ryuk_2007]

Ironic considering you literally stink up every Xbox article with your fanboy drivel instead of letting people "enjoy what they enjoy". lol

[anast]

Northpaws should ask for some kind of compensation, since you are consuming so much of their content.

[ManMarmalade]

i put plenty of hours into the ps3 version along with hundreds of hours on factions. I don't think it's worth the $70 tbh unless it's a new experience for a player.

[CrimsonWing69]

I can only speak for myself, but I am absolutely excited this coming out on Friday. Visually it’s just spectacular looking and I’m looking forward to playing through it with the updated visuals and to add another Platinum to my list.

[anast]

I'm excited about this one too. If I had the extra cash, I would have preordered it.

[Elda]

Picking up my pre-ordered copy from Gamestop this Friday along with DAH:Reprobed as well due to all the Gamestop credit & coupons I have. The benefits of my hobby of gaming including being a long-time member of Gamestop & buying so many games & psn cards...lol.

[YourMommySpoils]

Games were always meant to be fun and enjoyable. The more codes, the more features, the better. When a game offers infinite anything, I'm all for it. Like who didn't type dnkroz in those days.
