Those with nice systems are in for a treat.

anast455d ago (Edited 455d ago )

Walking Dead mods would be sick.

Tapani455d ago (Edited 455d ago )

Very keen to play this on PC.

A bit aside of the topic, but having such a strong year of PS games on PC this year, I'm very happy I moved from Playstation to PC permanently. I'd like to revisit these games later with even faster hardware and higher refresh rate, the Sony titles are just something else.

I did buy a PS5 to access the PS4 library. Another reason I bought a PS5 was actually the save files on all the games. I downloaded all my PS+ cloud saves years later as they were still there on the cloud, and actually bought Horizon Zero Dawn DLC and am going through it now. Still looks phenomenal on PS5 and am looking forward to Forbidden West on PC as well as Ghost of Tsushima.

Not buying the PS5 or the PC games because I somehow "support Sony", but just because the games are really good (1-2 level higher always than competitors multiplatform titles) and I had practical reasons for buying a PS5 (access to my massive library, thousands of hours of playtime on my save files, and upgraded resolution and performance of the games I owned.)

StormSnooper452d ago

but why leave Playstation then? It sounds like you like their games. Why not have both?

Tapani452d ago (Edited 452d ago )

I have PS3 Phat for PS1, PS2, and PS3 games and repair parts in case the drive or other components fail. PS5 for PS4 catalogue and PS5 games that do not come out for PC (seems like most of them do). I also have Vita that I use for classics from time to time on the go (once per year). So I'm hardly leaving Playstation, I just have the money today to drive the games at 120hz and RT on PC. Also, Sony and Devs do not seem to be interested in updating old games for the Pro consoles, I don't see the benefit of buying a Pro console just for a couple of supported titles.

StormSnooper451d ago

Ah I see. I somewhat agree with you in that I play on both PlayStation and PC. However, I don't see PC as a replacement for PlayStation at all. In fact, I generally prefer playing console games on consoles. I usually play strategy games on PC, or else games that are not available on my PS5. But I get you.

itsmebryan455d ago

How long di you think it will be before Sony releases all of its games on PC and PS5 at the same time?

Since they don't have any 1st party games coming out this year I think it may start with their first title next year.

DarXyde455d ago

We have two very different interpretations of what Sony said about first party games releasing this year.

“Regarding first-party software, we aim to continue to focus on producing high-quality works and developing live service games,” Totoki said. “But while major projects are currently under development, we do not plan to release any new major existing franchise titles next fiscal year like God of War Ragnarok and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.”

I took from that they are not releasing new major titles to their existing franchises because... Well, that's exactly what he said.

That aside, isn't Concord coming out this year?

RaidenBlack455d ago

Since Spider-Man 2 PC version was leaked ... I guess, Sony will greenlit the official SM-2 PC version earlier than usual.
We got to know very little about Concord, from that vague trailer. I don't think it'll come this year.

RaidenBlack455d ago

The gap will decrease that's for sure.
Won't be long till we see 6months to 1 year difference between console and PC release for singleplayer 1st party.
I know of the current release gap but Sony has been rapidly changing their business operations, from no PC releases to day 1 simultaneous live service release.
So yea, current release cycle wont be a static one that's for sure.

FinalFantasyFanatic454d ago

I honestly think day one releases would be the worst thing for Sony, and I say that as a PC player, it'll make the Playstation irrelevant, that was part of the problem for Xbox.

EternalTitan455d ago

Finally I get to burn abby to death.

Yui_Suzumiya455d ago

I'll have to upgrade soon. Pretty sure it won't run on my laptop with an Intel Iris Xe GPU and only 128MB VRAM, lol

If true, this is why Sony keeps making them. A lot of "gamers" might complain or cry about it. But as long as these things keep making money, they will keep doing it and ignore all those complaining online

neutralgamer199215d ago

You are absolutely correct end of fbe day money talks and so far their remastered/remakes have generated a lot of money

Lightning7714d ago

So y'all are more worried about a companies pockets than your own entertainment? Are you pretending to like the same game being re-realeased each year?

CosmicTurtle14d ago

Nobody said anything like this above.

S2Killinit14d ago

No that is not what they are saying. People want to play these games. But, We have a minority of people who think they speak for everyone.

Redemption-6414d ago

Da fuck are you talking about? When did I say or even imply that?

1Victor14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

@llight: “ Are you pretending to like the same game being re-realeased each year? “

👆👆So said a CoD player 🤣

Edit: now I’m curious as to how the halo tv series affected the sales of the halo game 🤔

Lightning7714d ago

@cosmic That's pretty much implied. Keep doing the same thing because it makes the company money forget my entertainment as long as they get richer. Instead of demanding more. If this was anyone else there would be backlash and it would be real that's a fact.

In a nutshell yes that is good the game is getting more attention more than ever thanks to the show I understand and acknowledge that. I'm saying all it promotes is more re-releases and remasters from games that don't need it.

Chevalier14d ago

"I'm saying all it promotes is more re-releases and remasters from games that don't need it."

Nah this is just short sited idiocy. Remasters and re-releases are a thing because the cost of making games is out of hand.

Also a large portion of these sales are to completely new customers. Add in that it's very profitable as shown by these sales. So that's 3 solid reasons to do what they did.

anast14d ago

If true this means that game companies would need to make a successful mini-series for every remaster to pull these kinds of numbers.

Lightning7714d ago (Edited 14d ago )

"Allot of gamers my complain and cry" it's literally in your own freakin words kid... How come nobody can see.. It's n4g not the brightest ppl in the world after all. That much as always ring true.

"👆👆So said a CoD player 🤣"

I don't play COD. What are you talking about? Yeah idc about halo TV or anything like that.

"Nah this is just short sited idiocy.'

Says the number on guy in that category. More money in remasters means more remasters... Simple

Cool let's all pretend to get excited for another game that doesn't need a remaster. You freakin fanboys ruin everything with yalls corporate boot licking BS....

Will HBO make a season 3 without Sony? They did with Game of Thrones after all.

S2Killinit14d ago

Why would they make it without Sony?

Grilla14d ago

I thought part 2 was 2 seasons, seasons 2 and 3. Season 4 wouldn’t have any source material unless ND made part 3 by then.

88314d ago

SPOILER (sort of):

Season 2 did not come close to completing the story of the 2nd game...

StormSnooper14d ago

They will continue the story passed what was created for the games. Sony is the one making the series. Is it possible that the series goes in a new direction? Yeah. But who knows.

LucasRuinedChildhood14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

@StormSnooper

Neil Druckmann said in an interview with Colin Moriarty that they're not going beyond the story of TLOU2 for the show.

Relientk7714d ago

You definitely didn't watch the show. They split the 2nd game into two seasons. If you played the 2nd game it actually makes sense.

lukasmain14d ago

It will be 3 season for game 2. Ending after season 4

franwex14d ago

You’re correct. I saw the first season, but I lost interest in the second season. Not due to the controversy of the second game-I actually like it. Mostly due to not being in the mood for a downer of a show at the moment. But I’ll check it out later.

lukasmain14d ago

Game 2 will finish in the show by the time season 4 ends. And no, they won't go on after that. Not unless there is another game

MrNinosan14d ago

Season 2, 3 and 4 will cover The Last of Us Part 2.

And no, Sony and Neil will be there all the way.

This isn't an argument for the low-hanging fruit, but this here is exactly why Sony - and others - will keep producing them. Dev costs are low. Profitability is high. It's low risk, high reward. And given the skyrocketing costs in the AAA space, projects like this help fund future titles. I don't like it, and I'd much rather Sony - and others - release new titles, but I sure as hell understand why it happens.

anast14d ago

A mini-series had to be made for this to happen.

PhillyDonJawn14d ago

Whats the point of making new games when you can keep releasing old ones 😂 they keep buying so why not?

S2Killinit14d ago

Soooo all those people talking trash are pretty surprised eh?

Eonjay14d ago

They want to tell you what yo think, who to hate and what to buy.

Review - The Last of Us Part II: Remastered (PC) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "The Last of Us Part II: Remastered is a beautiful mess. An ambitious title that had all the right ingredients, but didn’t always pan out the way it should. The excellent survival action gameplay that showcases humanity’s brutality is often let down by a story that is trying too much and has poor pacing. Thankfully, Part II’s debut on PC improves on the last game, making it the best place to play, even with its imperfections."

If the story is deeply flawed to the blogger and it's a story game, how does the blogger justify giving it a 9? A deep flaw is unacceptable in any part of the game. If everything else was perfect, it would be an 8 game. Deep flaws are foundational issues.

Let me help:

Graphics: 10

Sound: 10

Story: 8 (Overreliance on flashbacks. While the story beats are properly paced and the plot points are generally pacy, it tries to tell 2 stories at once, which led to a structural issue in the overall story, but despite this the message and mood are striking relevant.)

Gameplay: 8 (Turning in the game is awkward and it gets in the way or searching for stuff and the quick turn in combat doesn't feel intuitive.)

Overall: 9

PhillyDonJawn14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

How tf a game with 8 gameplay and 8 story get a 9 overall? Graphics and sound does not! Make up for that. Gameplay and story hold way more weight than graphics and sound.

The Last of Us™ Part II Remastered 2025 PC 4K (No DLSS) Incredible Forest Graphics

CG says: In this video, we take a look at the same forest section on horseback in The Last of Us™ Part II Remastered that we showcased in 2020 on the PS4 Pro. It’s an amazing bit of exposition with not much happening aside from a bit of banter. However, taking it slowly rather than galloping past, the forest graphics are actually pretty detailed. One of the more beautiful moments from the game. PS4 Pro version holds-up pretty well (that output was upscaled 4K and back then, there was no DLSS or AI interventions that we know about).

Reshade?

Oversaturated and overexposed

RedDeadLB56d ago

what in the oversaturated hell even is this video

bunt-custardly56d ago

The video is HDR hence why the playback looks off in SDR mode.
