The Last of Us Part I Finally Reveals Joel's Birthday and Age in the Game, and Tess’ Full Name

Given the upscaled resolution and remade visuals in The Last of Us Part I, we now know the birthday and age of Joel, and even Tess' full name, too.

masterfox1007d ago

now that's something worth 70 smackers!😆

ClayRules20121007d ago

Lol. This right here, it changes EVERYTHING!

Jokes aside, I’m now playing Part 1 with my fiancé, as our son and his friends have finished with it (he bought it) and him and his friends are currently playing through Part 2. If only people could see his friends reactions, not only to some of the gameplay and the changes/Ai, and how brutal and graphic some of the deaths can be to your enemy Ai😅😂but also just in the more painful and heart breaking moments early on in the story of Part 2 💔they were crushed and emotional and with Part 1 and with Part 2, NOW they understand why I get emotional at video games! Hopefully they won’t make fun of this father for crying at video games when they all come in from their HS football games etc and I look ridiculous 🤷🏼‍♂️😂 oh well, no shame!

deleted1006d ago (Edited 1006d ago )

I still want to play it, just not for $70! First sale it hits though, I'll be on it.

So man, Joel is just 1 year off from my age, and I'd probably turn into Joel too if someone ever took my 5 1/2 year old daughter away the way he lost Sarah. And.... my daughter's name is Ellie. (Elena) She is my world.

Tess “Theresa Servopoulos”

SullysCigar1007d ago

This is pretty cool. I remember trying to read the newspapers lying about when it came out, screwing my eyes up, like that might help!

I always soak up the lore and little details in games like this, drinking it all in.

FYouDad1007d ago

we'll all sleep well tonight knowing that.

dmonee1007d ago

Haven’t played this since the ps4. Definitely a hybrid remake/remaster. So far I’m enjoying the new visuals, 60fps and etc…. So far the animations in the violence is what has me in a state of “did that just happen?” I don’t remember headshots being so brutally realistic on the PS4 remastered version.

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?

darthv7258d ago

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

Christopher58d 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.

Cacabunga58d ago

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

OtterX58d ago

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

cloganart58d ago

@Christopher

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

Cacabunga58d ago

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

Notellin57d ago

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

LonDonE57d 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

Inverno58d 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.

darthv7258d 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.

-Foxtrot58d 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”

Inverno58d 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.

Neonridr58d ago

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

Knushwood Butt58d ago

They don't want Metroid Prime holding that record,

NotoriousWhiz57d ago

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

FPS_D3TH58d ago

We are approaching Skyrim levels here

Profchaos58d 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

Christopher58d ago

Not quite. Skyrim had:

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

VersusDMC58d ago (Edited 58d 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/...

darthv7258d 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.

Christopher58d 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.

Profchaos58d 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

Christopher58d 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.

Chevalier57d 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_D3TH57d ago

No. Those are remakes. Not remasters

Neonridr57d ago

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

CrimsonWing6956d ago (Edited 56d 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_Bomb58d 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’.

VersusDMC58d 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_Bomb58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

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

Knushwood Butt58d 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

billibil-kun: "As The Last of Us season 2 prepares to air on HBO, we've spotted a mysterious reference to a special edition of a physical PS5 game from the franchise. Here's our take on the game, which remains unclear for now."

It's probably a bundle of both The Last of Us games

Nyxus68d ago

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. The Last of Us Part 1 + II Remastered.

lukasmain68d ago (Edited 68d ago )

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

Goodguy0168d ago

They're really milking this franchise lol

anast68d ago

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

darthv7268d ago

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

68d ago
isarai67d ago

@darthv72

Literally yes 🤨

Cacabunga67d ago

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

anast67d ago

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

Loktai67d 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_Suzumiya67d ago

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

darthv7267d ago

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

thorstein67d ago (Edited 67d ago )

@darth GTAV says hi.

Skyrim has an Alexa edition.

Chevalier67d 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

67d ago
Chevalier67d 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.

darthv7267d 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.

Chevalier66d ago (Edited 66d 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.

I hope it's both ps5 games bundled with all updates including the new no return add ons for April. I'll triple dip on that.
