The Last of Us: Remastered confirmed for PS4

1 min read

TLOU

We’ve heard all of the rumours, but it’s now been confirmed by Sony – though apparently prematurely. The Last of Us is coming to the PlayStation 4 in a remastered package. Above is a screenshot I capped, and saw with my own eyes after seeing something similar on neoGAF.

It’ll be available to buy as a day 1 digital copy, probably packing the game’s DLC. it looks like it’s set to be a full-priced retail game.

Honestly though..I’m not sure just how much better they can make the game look. The game was a shining jewel in the PS3’s crown, and is easily the best looking game available on that old platform. As for the game itself? It’s been heaped with praise, and is a worthwhile experience…but there were just too many small things that made me feel disconnected from the world they were trying to convey. Maybe, unshackled from the previous generation’s limitations, it’ll be more believable – and I’m keen to see how shiny it can be.

Clicking on the link on the Sony Online store produces a 404…so somebody’s pressed the button a little early.

      With you there! Man, I cannot wait! I was gonna get the DLC on my PS3, but I think I’ll wait for the PS4 version and get it there – it’s gonna be awesome going back into that world again!

      Now if only they’d release a PS4 version of GTAV… Then my work here will be done. 🙂

        Wait for the PS4 version. If they do half a decent job like they did with Tomb Raider then I might just buy it again.

        I can argue that Steam is kinda the “Good guy” between all of them. I don’t know why the others are there though, why didn’t they just team up with steam instead of trying to reinvent the wheel?

        And as far as I can tell, Sony Online Entertainment are already using Steam. So if this was released on PC, then they would probably use Steam.

            I perused a couple of Steam sales and found mostly old and unknown games. I like GOG.com more because they bring back the older more classic games. Plus they have sales as well.

            April 9, 2014 at 13:17

            Ahh not sure when you “perused” it but just for an example I got the new Tomb raider six months after it was released for $11…..the real definitive version by the way 60 fps at 1080p etc. I also got dishonered for $14 around about the same time and they are just a couple of examples so peruse better next time.

            April 9, 2014 at 13:21

            See that’s why I say old. Because I’ve played Dishonered last year already. Still the price you got it for is pretty awesome.

            April 9, 2014 at 13:31

            Well of course you’re not going to get brand new games for $14! Even still brand new games are always cheaper on PC.

          We pay for PS+ because we get free games. Not because we want to play online. It only became a requirement after the launch of the PS4. So I feel singed at the most.

            Because it is a game. Watching it on youtube does not allow you to know the controls, judge the gameplay, or know whether the game is a ‘press X to do everything’ Two Souls rip off.

    Not exactly “confirmed” – yeah, it obviously is but I guess it’s not “official”. Bleh.

    Dat price though. Wow. No. No no. Not for a game that came out already. I really dislike that they do that, but I guess it gets them income and it’s a matter of waiting. I really do want to play it for the DLC though (and I loved the whole experience).

    And you didn’t love the game because you are bad at games, bro. Totes.

    “Honestly though..I’m not sure just how much better they can make the game look.”

    Well, if your hardware knowledge is on par with Darryn’s, that’s not a surprising stance to take. For everyone else (courtesy of PS Blog http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2014/04/09/last-us-remastered-coming-ps4-summer-2014/):

    Well, it’s no secret that we have been working night and day at the studio to bring 2013 Game of the Year, The Last of Us, to PS4. We’re calling it The Last of Us Remastered.

    Moving our efforts to the PS4 has allowed us to remaster an already phenomenal looking The Last of Us in 1080p with a list of upgrades including higher resolution character models, improved shadows and lighting, upgraded textures, along with even more improvements. We love setting challenging technical hurdles for us when working on each game – and this is no different. We’ve been working hard on The Last of Us Remastered to release a next-gen evolution worthy of the 200+ Game of the Year awards, not to mention the acclaim and expectations of our fans. We will be revealing more detailed information about the upgrades for the PS4 version in the coming months.

    In addition to all the technical updates, we’re also including an exclusive director’s commentary for all in-game cinematics featuring Creative Director and Writer, Neil Druckmann; Game Director, Bruce Straley; Voice Actor, Troy Baker, who plays Joel; and BAFTA Award winning Voice Actress, Ashley Johnson, who plays Ellie.

    We’ve released a ton of additional content since The Last of Us launched in June 2013, including our first ever single player expansion, Left Behind. We’re happy to say that the major content releases will be included with The Last of Us Remastered:

    Left Behind single player expansion

    Abandoned Territories multiplayer map pack

    Reclaimed Territories pack – details will be coming soon on exactly what is included

    Whether you are new to The Last of Us or have played it already on the PS3, we hope you are all looking forward to this release. We are!

    You can preorder The Last of Us Remastered for PS4 right now from many of your favourite retailers and receive these pre-order bonuses:

    100 Supply Points (XP) for use in Factions mode

    Two special bonus skins for Joel and Ellie which will be unlocked after your complete the single player campaign

    Increased Crafting Speed for use in the Single Player Campaign

    Increased Healing Speed for use in the Single Player Campaign

    9mm Reload Speed Increase Upgrade for use in the Single Player Campaign

    Rifle Clip Capacity Increase Upgrade for use in the Single Player Campaign

    Now that we’ve finally gotten the official announcement out of the way, we’ll be keeping you updated regularly about The Last of Us Remastered until it releases in Summer 2014.
