Things have changed quite a bit since the first leaks.

If you played the Original PS3 game or the PS4 Remaster, I can absolutely say this purchase is completely unnecessary - especially at $70 and NO Factions.
This is perhaps one of my favorite franchises of all time (yes, I adore TLoU2 as well), and even I can see this was made to keep Naughty Dog employees busy and cash in on the soon-to-be-released HBO series.

For you, sure. I'm playing it right now and loving it. Complete worth to me. Opinions....

Did it need it? Absolutely not.
Still the best way to experience it.
I'll still wait for a sale, I've already bought the game twice and played through at least 4 times. I'm in no rush to play it again.

Good video, pretty much agree with everything they say here.

The one they're missing is an in-depth and honest comparison between Part I and Part II.

After all this "is it worthy" Jim learned an important lesson. Next time he will just order ND to pull a nintendo remaster and make you pay 80 dollars for it.
Can’t wait for the crickets on “is it worth it” discussion when wind waker/twilight princess HD ports gets announced for 60 dollars

Oh they are coming, the butt hurt with Skyward sword being ported to Switch was pretty immense.

I really don’t remember it permeating the conversation as much as this. It’s also not even a isolated example, its half of Nintendos software roll out this generation

I'm convinced this is only a debate because of price point. If it was 40 dollars no one would even entertain the idea if it was worth it.

Especially with it being released on PC. It makes perfect sense to bring the game up to 2022 standards.

The conversation is rife. Good to see.
Well worth being made....not at 70.

Of course.
No one’s saying it’s a bad game. It’s a classic. Just genuinely a bit absurd to keep on rereleasing it.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
No the price just makes it worse.
Many people buy things they don't need for stupid prices and try and convince people they HAD to have it.
This Remake ( which I still think is just a proper Remaster ) is possible on PS4/PS4 Pro
Nothing about it is built from the ground up for PS5.
the game could have easily been released when TLOU2 came out on PS4 which would have made the original Remaster redundant if they did that, but making it exclusive to other Platform separates them needlessly.
No what I would have preferred was them to wait until they got their PS5 engine up and running and did TLOU3 and did both TLOU1 & 2 in the new engine.
Maybe for the 15th Anniversary?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
The remake itself is not the issue, selling it at full (or higher than the originals) price with less content makes it a harder proposition.

you joke but Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask 3D were actually very decent (portable) remasters launched at $40, while Wind Waker and Twilight Princess included extras for $50 as i remember, TP came packed with an Amiibo.After all this "is it worthy" Jim learned an important lesson. Next time he will just order ND to pull a nintendo remaster and make you pay 80 dollars for it.
Its just on the Switch Nintendo got greedy with remasters
ok now i want more Zelda remasters

For me it's a worth it.
For somebody else it probably isn't.
I love digital foundry, but I don't think a breakdown analysing if a game is "worth it" is compelling assuming unless it's a review on its own merits as an actual game. I don't want to hear "well these trees have better Textures so it's worth the upgrade" etc.

yes, clearly PS3 is not PS5.
Anything from PS3 era is fair game for a remake now. Would be odd to say otherwise as lots of remakes came literally within 1 generation prior to be saying some stupid shit like several generations are now magically "too soon" lol
Resident Evil 1 to 2002 remake
MGS1 to Twin Snakes
Conker Bad's Fur day N64 to XB remake
It wasn't this several generation standard type bs that anyone is now suddenly trying to force as a norm. What are some of you going to do? Tell us that Red Dead Redemption 1's remake is too soon if its revealed for PS5? Killzone 2 remake?
So a decade in tech is not "too soon", that is a lot of time and a lot differences especially when you factor several generations removed.
So many of you can tell me how much more sense SoTC made or Yakuza 1 and 2 or even Ratchet, but thats more of a moot point then some of you realize.

I like how everyone now sucks factions ass but almost nobody ever cared for it or played it.
Factions is not what was good about TLOU.
If this was really your fav franchise, you would get this amazing remake in an instant. You are a fake.
It was not made by ND. Mostly developed by visual arts

Thats one dramatic post. There is a caveat however.

I really cant understant people who are complaining about the graphics, because the difference is just huge.
I have played original game (PS4P version) just a few days ago, and no, it doesnt look good anymore by todays standards. Low poly models (details are usually painted on textures rather than made form polygons), flat lighting (with black crush), and fake shadows. Compared to that remake looks like a new game, and in HDR it's one of the best looking games currently.

Its because "hardcore gamers" think everyone buys every game just like they do. The idea that someone never played The Last of us or the PS4 version doesn't make sense to them.

The difference between this game and the PS4 remaster is staggering. I can't stress it enough, holy shit. If you don't think it's worth it, cool. Who cares? Why are people whining so much about a game they're not gonna buy?
This game is worth exactly what people are willing to pay for it

The thing is, a couple years from now no one will really care that the remake cost 70 dollars it will only be remembered as the definitive version of the game, which is now modernized for current gen.
I hope they remake more of my favorite ps3 era games, especially MGS4

This post confirms to me that no matter how people choose to spend their money, there will always be someone pissed enough about it to childishly name call and treat them like they have a half brain.............simply because you bought something they feel like you should not have bought.
