Celebrating the Release of The Last of Us Part I on PC

Christian writes: "So, where will the next Naughty Dog development adventure take us? Rest assured, PlayStation and PC players, we’re already looking forward to sharing more, whether you prefer a DualSense controller or a keyboard and mouse. Developing for both platforms empowers us to incorporate lessons learned from either into the overall design of our games. Sharing our stories and experiences on PS5 as well as PC is something that Naughty Dog has embraced and will continue to support moving forward.

That said: today, we celebrate! We have many people to thank for the launch of The Last of Us Part I on PC."

It just makes sense to move towards more balanced release schedule on console and PC.

This just makes me annoyed that Dreams wasn't and still isn't on PC.

[Mcardle]

That game seemed perfect for PC

[Vits]

Sort of a funny post, considering that The Last of Us part I is pretty much the worse port Sony has put on PC. Right now sitting with an incredible 36% positive reviews all thanks to the terrible job that was put into it with many buyers reporting that they can't even see the menu before it crashes.

[Fishy Fingers]

Its mad they hired the devs known for some of the most infamous PC ports to handle 2 of their biggest franchises while having Nixxes in house.

The lack of media reviews suggests they knew it was launching in a piss poor state.

Oof. Bad form, Sony.

Runs great on PS3 PS4 and PS5

[YodaCracker]

The remake is only on PS5 and now PC.

[MadLad]

Damn.
$180. That's a lot of money people have spent for incremental updates of one game.

In 10 years, long after the game is fixed on PC, and the game looks lifelike by comparison due to mods, the idea of the game running "great" on that old hardware will be a bit questionable.

I mean, no guns to peoples' heads, right? *checks the room for Sony-buy-or-die-assassin*

Why'd ND have to partner up with Iron Galaxy, again?
Iron Galaxy has terrible track record and every PC gamer knows it ... and yet we're greeted with another terrible Iron Galaxy port job of a AAA title ....

[darthv72]

Im not too keen on their PC stuff but I felt they did quite well on Killer Instinct.

Ps5 is 1st priority and pc is 2nd with a middle finger port.

[MadLad]

"PS5 is 1st priority and PC is 2nd with a middle finger port"

One, they literally spent a good chunk of change for a developer that literally only works on PC ports, and are some of the best on the market. This is an example of Sony being cheap and literally went with a cheap, bottom of the barrel port studio.

That tells me two things. One, Nixxes is probably swamped with work, meaning there's probably a lot of unannounced PlayStation ports being worked on in the background. And two; when Sony can't go to the pros, they do a total 180 and hire the lowest bidder.

Either way they only lost money by doing what they did with this port.

[RaidenBlack]

Iron Galaxy pretty much under bids, gets a contract and tries to make things work with limited budget.
There were other better studios other than Nixxes, like Sumo .... but Sony went with Iron Galaxy anyway ....

[XxINFERNUSxX]

TLoU needs a patch or patches, so the game is not really 100% done more like 95%, when else is new with games.😑 Going by Steam reviews, it's Mostly Negative (3,223): https://store.steampowered....
Seems the issues are using way too much VRAM and crashing.

[XxINFERNUSxX]

Oops meant to say what not when. 😊

[Ashunderfire86]

Yongyea just did a video on that and this is a major concern for a big Playstation game!

We celebrate broken releases now?

[jambola]

What's next?
I'm sure they can remaster the last of us 1 again

[RedDevils]

That would be the last of us part 2

[MadLad]

I can't believe these complete morons trusted Iron Galaxy for the port. Great job, Sony lol. You paid bottom dollar to port one of your biggest IPs, during a giant surge of interest due to the show.

Oh well. Their loss.
They were cheap, and now they still need to spend time and money to fix it, all the while losing sales because of the bad user reviews and word of mouth. Hell, there were some games that Iron Galaxy worked on that were so broken they literally had to bring in an entirely new team to come in and pretty much rework the entire project.

[generic-user-name]

The same Iron Galaxy that did the recent Metroid Prime Remaster that everyone is gushing over? The same team that did Naughty Dog's other PC port, the Legacy of Thieves Collection, just a few months ago that PCGamer gave a 91 to?

[MadLad]

And the abysmal Arkham Knight port. The terrible 7 Days to Die port. The terrible Borderlands 2 port.

This could realistically be yet another time they've put out a game that may be recalled and removed from the Steam store altogether.
Having examples of times you proved you can be competent in your line of work doesn't excuse the fact you have plenty of examples you can't even ship a functioning product.

[generic-user-name]

"Having examples of times you proved you can be competent in your line of work"

Except those are their two most recent examples before this and I'm seeing reports of people starting TLOUP1 without waiting for the shaders to compile causing these issues.

By your own standards you should be asking MS why 343 hasn't been shuttered yet.

[bleedsoe9mm]

Naughty Dog going multiplatform is huge news

[z2g]

Ppl on Twitter are celebrating how messed up the textures are. Seeing a lot of images on there that are actually kinda funny.

[Thundercat77]

Released on PC 10 years later after its exclusive release on PlayStation.

Anyone telling you that PlayStation exclusives games are going to release the same day on PC is crazy and totally misinformed.

[Kosic]

Shame Sony have put a poor studio on this port. It shows they are out of touch, such big I.p's deserve more quality or it'll push Sony back on the PC front.
