It's a better version of a thing they already love Thank you! I tried explaining to my grandma and mom (though my mom is more understanding with tech, grandma replied when asked if her tv was a smart tv: "no, it wont turn on, I think its dumb"....) Anyways yeah that 4K and even now standard bluray compared to VHS and DVD is huge in quality difference. Oddly enough i never have yet purchased my fave movie on 4k. Fight club. theres a few dvds i own id like to up to 4K or Bluray at the least. *Physical media forever!* As for the game. Idc. Im still getting it day 1. Same with Ys 8 ps5 which doesn't look much better than ps4 counterpart. Edited July 21, 2022 by Infected Elite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreakon13 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) I wasn't expecting miracles, other than some re-worked character models and a crisper looking engine there wasn't anything leak or no-leak that made me think it was a proper "remake"... a word that's getting thrown around a bit too carelessly these days and Naughty Dog was guilty of. That being said, I think it'll fall into an awkward spot where it's definitely more than a remaster (higher res, higher framerate, slap some new textures on and call it a day)... but not a remake (a different game following the same or similar story beats)... and I dunno what to call that lol. It's more remaster than remake I guess. In any case I'll probably buy this. Just because I've been looking for an excuse to play through the games again anyways.

Popular Post Undead Wolf Posted July 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2022 I was expecting a lot more from something they're calling a "from the ground up remake". It feels pretty deceptive to call it that when they're reusing the voice acting, motion capture, animations, and level structure from the original. The gameplay improvements seem to amount to AI that doesn't act quite as retarded (at least that's what they claim) and some haptic feedback for the DualSense if you even count that. It doesn't even seem like they're bringing over the ability jump or go prone from TLOU2, but I guess that would have required them to put some effort in and rebuild the levels fRoM tHe gRoUnD uP to take advantage of that... They can keep patting themselves on the back for their (AWARD WINNING!!!) accessibility options, but that means nothing to the vast majority of people. I guess we can expect the trophy list to be piss easy though since using them won't stop you earning trophies. Also, for a gameplay trailer, they sure did talk about a lot about the graphics... I'll admit that the visual improvements are more noticeable than they were in that announcement trailer, but honestly, I really don't give a fuck. The original game still looks good to me and I prefer how some of the old character models looked compared to these new ones. Ellie especially. It's egregious to charge $70 for this thing, especially when you consider how it's actually less of a game with that awesome Factions MP mode removed. But of course, they want to sell us an expanded version of that separately later down the line. ? No way in hell some extra outfits for Joel and Ellie and a fucking model viewer make up for the loss of that. There's nothing here in this "remake" that justifies such a high price tag. It's a cash grab and everybody knows it, and this is coming from someone who liked the game enough to play it on both PS3 and PS4. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreakon13 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I don't really understand why people get outraged about a $70 price tag when the vast majority of them will buy it, if they do at all, for far far less than that.

Remember the PS3 and Vita stores situation or something. Combine 2 and 2.

I get what you mean, sometimes the outrage actually accomplishes something. And if you want change, you need the outrage. Fair enough. The problem is, the gaming community is drunk on power because it worked a few times and outrage over everything now. And lets be honest, it doesn't even really work that well. Sure you managed to strong-arm a creative team into making Sonic look the way you want, but remasters still release for $70 and games still come out rife with microtransactions. Keep fighting the good fight guys lol. Edited July 22, 2022 by Dreakon13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you not voicing concern devs are free to assume whatever they may please and keep stepping on the same rakes. But of course the wallet part is a must to have an effect in course correction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always had a slight suspicion they always had the Sonic model they ended up using in the works, and just released the trailer with the God awful Sonic initially for the outrage. Then they come out saying "don't worry you guys, we heard you and we've fixed it", reversing the majority of the negative press and criticism they got and perhaps even catching the attention of people that previously didn't care, after all the memes that were made of Sonic's teeth and such. Because it feels good when it seems like a company listens to its consumer base, right? With how long I've heard CGI takes to create, a few months of redesigning Sonic into every scene he appears in in the movie seems strange to me. Obviously just a weird little conspiracy theory of mine, and likely isn't true, it's just something that's always stuck out to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alayaes Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Whether or not the "remake" was justified or not is entirely subjective. It is what it is. I was pretty stoked about this when I first saw it announced because TLOU is one of my all time favorites, but then the price tag appeared and I hit the brakes. I was legitimately anticipating this to be a PS+ Extra/Premium game like Stray. However, charging $70 for what is essentially a Remaster is downright baffling to me. I have an issue with their pricing, the standard they will set for the industry going forward, and their silly justifications for said price tag. Again, this is no Remake. It's how a Remaster should be to begin with (as opposed to re-publishing on newer generation with slightly upscaled textures). Resident Evil 2 was a true remake, and they charged $60; justifiably so. This is more akin to Shadow of the Colossus from BluePoint, which was never full price. $70 today is a AAA release price. This game did not take NEARLY the same amount of effort and marketing as a new AAA release like TLOU2 was, or Uncharted 4. Saying that this is just a silly argument is being obtuse. There's a reason why even gaming journalists, the biggest idiots of them all, are writing articles putting the price tag in question. It's a matter of principle, not whether or not TLOU was good enough to warrant it. It can be the greatest game ever made, and for me it definitely ranks in the top 10, but that is irrelevant. Establishing price points should be immune to that. Imagine Rock Star charging $100 for GTA 6 because "we're sure it's a good game so we think it warrants a higher price tag than other games that aren't as good". That's just silly. It starts with Nintendo pricing everything to high heaven (though arguably they are the best developer ever to walk the Earth). Skyward Sword on the Switch came roaring in at a full $60 and they got away with it. It sets a terrible foundation for game pricing that nobody benefits from. Why go through a ton of effort if you can just polish up an older, existing game and charge the same price?

Sendai-Horatio Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 This is $70 for an edition of The Last of Us where you can get the platinum without needing to grind multiplayer. To me that makes it already a worthwhile improvement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
