The best thing about this announcement (for me), is the fact that tLoU PS5/PC remake has been long rumored of being in development ... just like the rumored Bloodborne PS5/PC remaster.

Here's hoping the latter is true as well.

 

[SLB1904]

Sure jan

 

[NeonDelta]

No mention of firefly edition on PlayStation Europe announcement damnit

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Sure jan

Eep danger vagina

So what's the complaining about from some "people"? It's better in every way.

Yeahp, remade from the ground up, 60fps, new AI, new visuals, animation and combat system from TLOUp2 and UC4, people are crazy to complain here.
Only question for me, PC or PS5?

 

[Bartski]

I've played the game enough times, so for me it will come down to how drastic the changes to combat are. If they are altering level design to include mechanics like going prone, I am all in.

lead systems designer from TLOU2 is directing this. I'm pretty sure they know what they're doing

 

[Craig of War]

Ill play it again the 1st game was a masterpiece

 

[Aggelos]

Had to do it...

The next time someone on Gaf decides to make a thread whining about how shit modern gaming is, this thread should be pointed at as exhibit A of exactly why.

Watching so many posters salivating over an overpriced SECOND REMAKE of a ten year old game is utterly baffling.

 

[Fake]

$70 with the DLC or not?

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Whatever loss from 100% PS to PC converts will be small no matter how many people on forums say otherwise. Not only is PC an untapped market, but some of the sales on PC (going by gamers posts) are them being experienced PS gamers who want to double dip for the PC version. So it's not like that gamer is bailing PS. They just want to play it on PC this time. Maybe they got an awesome PC. Maybe they cant get a PS5 yet, so PC is the only option.

Think of it like the old Apple days. Total ecosystem, PC hating kind of platform. Very loyal users. Apple bailed on them for iTunes on PC, Intel Macs, MS OS and Office can be used on Macs etc... Suddenly they realized you can make a lot more money with an untapped market over whatever ultra loyal user hates the brand going forward. Its a totally mainstream promoted computer brand which is the exact opposite of the old days.

Money talks. Apple realized there's only so much money you can make off their existing core users. So to grow the brand, they went PC.

Good post. I am one of those old PS diehards who will PSTriple Dip. Seeing them go this deep into the code and rework things to be more like TLOUII is great and the visual upgrade looks like it will put my GPU to good use.

 

[SLB1904]

Very funny and original

 

[jorgejjvr]

well it looks better, def the way to play it if you havent already

 

[Caio]

Fuck yes. Day one for me.

This, no further words ! Can't wait, oh yeah

 

[taizuke]

Unless the base game is priced at $50 or the Firefly edition is priced at $70 I don't see myself getting the game at launch.

I'm pretty sure we'll get a better offer come Christmas time.

The thing is, it would be perfectly reasonable if it was mischievous console warfare (to carp over a celebrated exclusive).

But I *genuinely* think people are excited to play exactly the same single player again. As you say, baffling.

Laugh at CoD all you want, at least the multiplayer is (somewhat) different.

 

[Jaybe]

They are. The $70 regular version includes Left Behind.

The deluxe Firefly edition is a steel book physical release, and has the TLOU comic book included.

Thanks for confirming. Makes sense that it would be included. Deleted my prior misinterpretation.

Mind your own business

Her model looks exactly like the model we saw in the TLOU2 flashbacks.

Which looked great. Not sure which next gen model looks better. What next gen only games have a better looking character model?

 

[gow3isben]

So damn unnecessary game still holds up well. Should have done Drake’s Fortune remake.

Idiots.

The fact that there are so many idiots willing to buy the same game over and over and over again is a depressing indication of just how brainless the average consumer is. This is why there have been 500 ports of Skyrim, and morons eat them up every time.

Only, THIS time, it's Sony, on a system with barely any exclusive content, and it's a $70USD remake of a remake. Celebrating this is idiocy beyond belief.

They have screengrabs that look like they are from Left Behind so I'm going to guess with.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

Good to know. I'm sure they know what they're doing, I've just got my particular interests to look out for.

It was obviously greenlit to coincide with the upcoming TV show.

 

[Venuspower]

I assume that this is exactly the kind of thing that will happen. Actually, I expect an improved version of Part II in terms of gameplay mechanics.

I also hope that we will be able to use infected people against human NPCs in the main game. For the original, this was cancelled due to lack of time and only added in Left Behind. But you can just see in the game where they wanted to use this mechanic.

 

[adamsapple]

yeah, and the show got delayed unfortunately.

So, the PC version will probably release with the show, and folks will be modding Pedro's face over Joel's within minutes.

 

[Ulysses 31]

No, in the first game everything looked dirty, the artstyle just changed. But the scenes have the exactly same feel (and I played 1 before 2) because the characters' actions are the same

So they forgot to make the room look as run down in TLOU2 as it appeared in TLOU1? Yeah I don't really buy that.

Coupled with the fact that we're also treated to lingering shots of Joel's "victims" in the TLOU2 retelling and Joel making this face before killing the doctor leads me to believe it was a deliberate choice to be less sympathetic towards Joel.

 

[Portugeezer]

Probably won't get it, maybe if it had multiplayer.

 

[GhostOfTsu]

Please buy it so they make more games with my dream daddy Joel ❤

Abby? Fuck that pig

 

[SlimySnake]

I love that shot though. We never saw his face before he attacks the doctor because it was a gameplay sequence so seeing that in third person was chilling.

Learn what a remake is before whining.
This is a remake, before it was a remaster, it's not the same. I wish people would stop mixing them both.

 

[TheGodfather07]

this game should bee a ps plus extra/premium game imo. this is nintendo level shit with the full price.

 

[Ulysses 31]

I love that shot though. We never saw his face before he attacks the doctor because it was a gameplay sequence so seeing that in third person was chilling.

It is a cool shot to show off a new Joel model.

But it felt a bit out of character/forced that he would stand there a little while and make that angry face instead of immediately rush to save Ellie though.

I couldn’t give half a shit about Uncharted. TLOU I’ll always be there day 1

You're always pissed off everytime I see your name. Chill dude.

Day 1 for me

 

[Putonahappyface]

I've already played through the remaster on the PS4 Pro, so I don't think I have enough enthusiasm in me to play through TLOU again just for prettier graphics. I'll wait for actual gameplay and perhaps that will sway me into another run.

 

[Reallink]

So it's just tlou1 remade with tlou2 assets.

 

[fersnake]

havent play it since ps3, then the ps4 remastered came and didnt play it. now am so excited to add this to my library on ps5 and let it rest another 10 yrs xD

 

[Optimus Lime]

This is a remake, before it was a remaster, it's not the same. I wish people would stop mixing them both.

I know what a remake is, pal. I know what a remaster is.

You know what else I know? What the same game being bought three times is. Do YOU understand what that is, or would you like me to explain it to you?

 

[Optimus Lime]

You're always pissed off everytime I see your name. Chill dude.

Day 1 for me

I don't know who you are, so I don't really have an opinion on you. Probably never will.

I'm not 'pissed off' at anything. I'm expressing an opinion. You don't like it? Oh well.

 

[Kokoloko85]

But I was told Playstation games are coming to PC day 1 by 2023….?

 

[Kerotan]

70 dollars is too much to ask for this.

They're making the PC boys pay a premium so they can fund our next ps5 game

I've played TLOU multiple times now on Ps3 and 4 so I'll wait a year or so and get this on a nice sale. But I'll definitely play it again.

Any word on a potential 120fps mode?

 

[MightySquirrel]

Is it still only 2560x1440? IQ looks as bad as Tlou2 on Ps5. Will wait for PC version.

 

[Quezacolt]

I know what a remake is, pal. I know what a remaster is.

You know what else I know? What the same game being bought three times is. Do YOU understand what that is, or would you like me to explain it to you?

Still doesnt make it exacty the same thing as the remaster.

do i think the remake was needed? Not really. doesnt change the fact that it's not something lazily done.

Even if it plays the same, everything else was redone.

it's not like a remaster, wich is just what we used to call HD ports.

 

[elcapitano]

Looks a major remake anyway. All new AO and gameplay also confirmed

 

[StreetsofBeige]

But I was told Playstation games are coming to PC day 1 by 2023….?

Who knows.

Currently, the smallest time gaps for PC ports are Days Gone and Miles Morales at about 2 years each.

If the PC game is announced already and the PS5 version is coming this September, it's pretty safe to say the PC port isn't going to come out in September 2024. It'll probably be a Q1 2023 kind of release. No way it would even be a one year gap. I'll ballpark 6 months. We'll all have to wait and see.
