Yes, deserved. One of the best games ever made. Hopefully it helps get some people who don't play games to try it now.

Strange no TLOU1 Remake on PS5?

That's a PS4 only list.
Part 1 is doing well on the PS5 list but also it's sold out on a few sites so it can't climb any higher.
On the US PSN it's third at the moment.

I hope TLOU3 is the last main game at least for awhile. Use Factions for expanded universe content

TLoU Remake is now trending 2nd on PSN right behind Hogwart. And on PS5 it's now in the "top 10 in your region" list.

Sales have been solid over the past 5 months.
I would be surprised if The Last of Us Part II made the top 20 NPD charts in January. But if it does, then that would be great.
Sales charts around the world should be great. Sales might remain steady and then slightly increase after they're done watching the first season of The Last of Us.

sure, but that doesn't mean they'll outsource The Last Of Us....
It merely means they'll move on likely after the 3rd game or something (or 4th)
but the other half of ND already has a new IP ready to go so...

With the show clearly giving the games a boost I decided to check the sales legs for Part 2 for the last six months. Safe to say its got really good legs these days.
Will be interesting to see how it performs in the 2-3 months after the show ends as it's been a strong 6 months
Main comparison to RDR2 as that also doesn't have a PS5 SKU and we know that sells very very well.
PS4 PSN sales
August 2022: 10th US/CA and 7th EU (RDR2 14th US and didnt chart EU)
September 2022: 11th US/CA and 15th EU (RDR2 6th in both)
October 2022: Didnt chart in this month
November 2022: 4th US/CA and 4th EU ( RDR2 8th in both)
December 2022: 7th US/CA and 5th EU (RDR2 6th in both)
2022 Total: 12th US/CA and 8th EU (RDR2 6th in both)
January 2023: 7th US/CA and 7th EU (RDR 2 and GTA 6th)
February 2023: 1st US/CA and 1st EU (RDR2 4th and 5th)

Nah. There will probably be a few high profile flops like Tomb Raider and then the industry will be afraid to take risks for a while.

My money's on Fallout and Twisted Metal tv shows being big flops in the upcoming months.
With Tomb Raider tv series it doesn't have to be bad. A lot will depend on the casting (no afroamerican or flat chested Lara's pls) and budget.

Across the Spiderverse and Spider-Man 2 both this year too. Don’t think SM2 has a release date yet though but would be cool if they announce it to be released Jun/Jul

I wish there was a PS5 upgrade or PS5 disc of TLOU Part 2, because playing the PS4 Part 2 after the PS5 Part 1 Remake makes Part 2 feel boring.
Yes, I’m talking about the Duelsense haptics and trigger effects.
Try it
Go play TLOU Part 1 Remake for 25 minutes, then play Part 2. You’ll immediately notice an emptiness… something missing

A PS5/PC version of TLOU Part 2 will come. Tom Henderson had leaked it was in the works last year. If I had to take a guess, it'll probably come out within a few months of Season 2 of the HBO series dropping.

Wait! For real? There’s gonna be a Last of Us Part 2 Remake?
I mean, how much better can it look? Because it still looks as good as the new Part 1, and any new game now.
If they make Part 2 look any better, they’re gonna have to remake the remake of Part 1 again.
All we players need in Part 2 is the haptics and trigger effects that the Part 1 utilizes. That’s the huge missing element in the PS4 version of Part 2

Not a remake, but a PS5 version should be expected. They could up the resolution from 1440p to 4K and improve textures and lighting even more. More importantly, they could add haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
I've been actually waiting for a PS5 upgrade for a while now.

That’s perfect!!
Im actually surprised that it’s not ready yet. I mean, we got a PS5 Ghost of Tsushima, and that came out way after TLOU Part 2

I hope Part 2 gets a remaster but they don't need to do much. They need to use the cutscene character models for the gameplay.

Ignoring the fact that it's a huge game that would require a ton of effort and time and that ND are working on multiple projects, there's a time and place for everything. Even if it were ready right now, it would make sense to release it closer to season 2 of the HBO series as that season (and likely the third) are based on TLOU Part 2. TLOU Remastered, TLOU Part 1 and TLOU Part 2 are all seeing sales boosts just off the back of the first season. Best for them to draw it out to get that sales/marketing synergy between the PS5/PC version of Part 2, the second season of the show, and even the MP game.

Imagine if Microsoft did a Halo TV show 10 years ago when the franchise was at it's peak.

Yeah, I think they wanted to space it and keep the limelight to Part 1 right now. I'm sure Part 2 will receive the long-due attention when Season 02 rolls out.

It's been a long time, but it reached 9th on the most downloaded charts in Japan.

Surprised to see it got 9th in Japan.
That's really good as Japan isn't a strong market for TLOU

Good to see this information. Hopefully you can keep adding to this as the months go on.
how so?
It's a great game. Great gameplay, graphics and story.
I doubt the woke cringe almost crippled the franchise.

TLOU was a success because it followed a fantastic game story and characters almost one to one.
Very few games have similarly interesting stories and definitely not Tomb Raider or Fallout.
Captain Toad

Because a few loudmouth cried about it on internet forums?
Because critically and financially it was extremely successful. It's one of the highest acclaimed videogames ever made, but people will spin anything until it fits their narrative.
Claiming TLOU Part 2 was a failure is like Resetera calling Hogwarts Legacy a failure.

I'll for sure be posting more updates to see how it progresses in the coming months.
It's showing as the best selling PS4 game on the US PSN store at the moment. This list updates atleast once a day.

Also has been Consistently in the top 2 on Amazon US since the show aired.
