The Last Of Us on PS4? Don’t hold your breath

LastOfUsPS4

The above image appeared on Neogaf yesterday and points to Naughty Dog releasing a version of the critically acclaimed survival title, The Last Of Us, onto the PlayStation 4 at the end of the month.

At first glance everything appears to look legitimate but it didn’t take the detective over at Neogaf too soon notice some issues with this. First up the line “Only on PlayStation” doesn’t normally appear on PS4 exclusives and the band at the top is slightly larger than it should be.

Then the box art chosen is a little strange considering what was normally used for the PS3 release but the nail in the coffin is simply typing that URL into your browser.

It lead to a pre-order page for PS4 exclusive, The Order, which ironically does have the “Only on PlayStation” ribbon on it. So the first clue that sent people investigating was a red herring after all but yes this screenshot is a fake.

That hasn’t stopped people from wanting it to happen though.

Personally I’m not a fan of games being remade for new platforms and can’t really see the point of replaying a game I’ve completed before. Especially a single player experience.

But if you disagree then what games would you want to see remade for the PlayStation 4 or what games would be the catalyst for you dropping that much money on a brand new console? I think the only old game that would make me rush out to buy it would be a HD remake of the original Quake with the same twitch gameplay, but then again I can’t see that ever working on a console properly so maybe that’s a bad choice?

    I doubt this would happen as soon as this, or if ever.. The game was built for the Ps3 and to get it running on a PS4 and adding the extra next gen touch would take considerable amount of time… Perhaps in the future but I would of called Bullshit if I saw this anywhere..

    I think this is the game that I still need to get for my PS, if anything.

      Some say your Ps3 is so underused it pretends to be played late at night. Some say your Ps3 plans to take over the world as a way to finally get some use. but we all know your ps3 is a giant paperweight that should be given to Tim.

        You forgot that it’s a cheap BluRay player. But Tim, my dear friend, I’d give it to you if I didn’t have any use for it, which unfortunately I do.

      They should make a RPG game, where you can choose a man or women and customize then completely. The story goes, you in the heart of Japan and a dark warlord called Umarson has dabbled with ancient dark magic and opened a dark door way to the other side… your quest is to take down the many demons and monsters along the way, the game will beable to use stealth, eg taking peoples clothes, hiding in bushes and rubbish bins.

      The game will also include taking a demons power, from the bosses by use of a heart stone hidden deep within the yoshi cavern caves… More on this later…

          Isn’t that an indicator that the harddrive failed? I don’t want to get your hopes up, but it might be something to check out. I got the flashing red lights early this year, and my HD had died. Actually, forced me to upgrade to a 1TB, which was a bonus.

    I’d rather we don’t have a situation where last-gen games just get a next-gen (current-gen) spit-shine. I loved the Last of Us. It’s my personal game of the year for 2013, but I wouldn’t want to see a PS4 version of it. It cheapens the game and my memory of it. Instead, I would like to see The Last of Us 2 on PS4 – even though I still believe the game doesn’t even need a sequel. It’s like Apocalypse Now or Spec Ops the Line. A solitary work of art!

          If they want to make more money they should port it to pc. But it seems for a lot of them, regardless of the money they can make, spiting the pc gamers is more worth it.

            Dude pc gaming will never be as popular as console… just a fact man. sure in some countries pcs are all the rage. but Europe and America they would prefer to sit on the couch and play console games. Pc is too much like hard work. Thats why better games come to consoles, not that great games don’t come to pc because they do and often I am jealous.

            Well, that’s true I suppose. Catering to the market. But I can never go full console because I enjoy the complexity of strategy games that the consoles don’t ever see. Feels like I’m really using by brain on those games. Would really have loved to have RDR on pc though. Played it on my PS but never really felt immersed in it.

            Dude from my pc gaming days I am the same.. plus notice issues with games. Gta IV bugged the shit outta me with pop ins and RDR had its moments too. Hell even GTAV has them here and there. They bug the shit outta me, but eventually I look past them and enjoy the game for what it is. Thankfully I think with next gen consoles pop ins will hopefully be a thing of the past.

            I totally get it man. There’s just something about having a pc, where each one is 100% unique, that makes you feel closer to your system and your games. But that could just be me.
            I do, however, play quite a few games with my Xbox360 controller these days when I’m too lazy to sit up. So that’s nice.

          But PC gamers only play facebook games, and they smell faintly of cheese and onions. :p

            Funny that. I went onto FB yesterday and I had 35 messages and quite a few notifications.

            And we might smell like cheese, but it’s good cheese! And it goes well with good red wine!

            Because they live by their pcs for many days at a time, some live in caves, others in basements some well in holes.

            Yes, but you should see how well nerded and kitted out these caves are.

            I am aware of that, plus you have many bags of cheese and onions chips in storage.

            The worst of them live in their mother’s caves and their mother’s basements.

            And aye, the absolutely most despicable, live in their mother’s holes

    A Final Fantasy VI HD remake might be enough to make me get a PS4.
