The visuals look brilliant and I’m excited to play through it again, but I can’t justify paying $70 for a “remake” that is mostly a graphical overhaul.
@@typeclick2159 Sure, The Last of Us Part 2 is complete dog shit, but The Last of Us Part 1 is a complete passion filled masterpiece, I personally wouldn't pirate this one as I like to support passion projects. But you do you
is the gore and body tesselation moved to this version? (I'm gonnna buy it for pc mar 3rd and the gore system in the second game reminded me of the daus pf soldier of fortune II....how you could pick apart someones head piece by piece, limb and joint from joint. but ya is the violence upgraded?
Regardless of how stunning they can make it look, the Last of Us on the very last days of the PS3's life cycle was outstanding and nothing can ever compare to how it hit the first time playing it
I didn’t realize this came out at the end of the PS3. I know they had an update for the PS4, like a remaster right? This isn’t a remake but more closer to TLOU2 engine and look right? I’d buy it because I’m about to get a PS5 and I haven’t had one since the PS2 so I have a ton of exclusives I have missed out and this is the perfect time to buy this one.
An amazing and gratifying moment in my life was beating this game on Grounded difficulty setting without dying one time, on my first try (not the first time ever, hell no lol. Just first Grounded try). I practiced a TON on the other difficulty settings by beating it a lot and learning everything I could by playing it. And then I tried Grounded and it was one of the most intense and heart pounding and memorable gaming experiences of my life. I'll never forget the feeling it gave me while playing it. Felt like a true survivor in a hellish dystopia lol.
Loved this game and excited to eventually replay it on my PS5. I do think that Sony did a disservice making this game a full $70. Pretty sure it should have been $39.99 or $49.99, maybe even a bundle with Part 1 and Part 2 for $70 (Kind of like what they did with Spider-Man and Miles Morales)
Damn Straight, clearly this is a well-made remastered but that price point is doing nothing but screaming CASH GRAB!!! Then again what do I expect from Sony, they release great first party games on consoles for a fair price then demand that same price with every remaster that is released and from every PC port despite these games being ancient comparatively speaking when this happens.
@@schemage2210 £70 is way too pricy for this game, however that doesn't define it a cash grab, its the definitive version of the game. If this was anything like the GTA trilogy definitive edition. That was a cash grab.
@@avarionuk4283 personally I think your quibbling over definitions. For instance this is by far not a definitive edition (in spite of whatever label Sony puts on the box) as this product was shipped without the multiplayer "factions" mode. Can you really call it the definitive edition if it is missing components of the original game. Further this isn't like the Mass Effect remaster that put every piece of dlc in one place, the total cost of which was many times the original purchase price of the three base games, here you are only getting the remastered game and a single piece of dlc. Whether dlc adds more to the value proposition, or marketing labels like "definitive edition", this product is still not worth a whole $70. It's just the same that God of war on steam is $75 (locally). For a 4 year old game, that is outrageously overpriced.
Everyone should make sure to turn on the dialogue vibrations in the settings because it’s not automatically on. You can feel the pitch, volume, and frequency of all the voices, and it makes it so much better.
I hate all the gimmicks the ps5 controller has. Makes the batteries run out quick just like the PS4 controller. And they don’t even give you the option to switch out batteries
I wish I didn’t play the remastered version earlier this year for the first time. But I’m glad I was able to get this game with a Black Friday discount sale. I really enjoy my second play through of this game. This version of the game is a must play.
For me also, I love the game but I refuse to pay for the same game “again”. Man I want some different great games to pay for not another revamp, remaster, remake.
I’m also a little disappointed that they did not integrate the combat a little more from 2. That was among the best changes they made to part 2, I realize that Joel wouldn’t be able to do some things Ellie could but yeah, a dodge button would’ve been cool. Either way I will check it out when it hits PC
I love the TLoU and playing through this story on Part 1 feels partly like a new game. The video mentioned that speedrunners will notice a lot more when it comes to the mechanics of the game, and that is 100% true. Im finding myself relearning routes and levels because the AI, targeting, and level design has had enough done to it to force me to relearn. I play solely on grounded and lemme tell ya Pittsburgh was hell, and it was so much more fun. As a die hard TLoU fan the $70 didn't bother me too much, but not snagging a physical firefly edition did lol
Honestly the remake looks a lot better than I expected. It's not just a game with better graphics. I didn't expect them to completely change how certain buildings look or change a building to something else. It's just hard for me to say a 9 year old game needs a remake and I still will say this game did not need a remake. I think most games in the ps3's later life cycle still look gorgeous and still hold up. It's weird because I still remember the original getting released and all the well known youtubers playing it.
Played it a million times and blast through it. I can repeat word by word cutscenes before the characters even say their lines. Jumped right on grounded and finished it too. Thank you Naughty Dog for bringing back my favorite game of all time refined and better!

The one thing I noticed after playing the original and remastered so many times is they changed out all the metal trash cans with the big plastic ones you see today along with some environmental changes with different furniture. Other than that it’s basically the same game with better graphics and some fancy window dressing like new menu interfaces and some more detailed workbench animations. I got to play it for free because my friend let me borrow it the day he got it and I gotta say it’s super awesome jumping back in to a game I’m so fond of and seeing it look like this. Not worth 70 bucks but it is the best way to experience this game for the first time that’s for sure. Edit: for all the pressed people in the comment section the person I borrowed the game from literally lives with me and works long hours. Can’t believe with all the shit going on in the world the thing you don’t believe is somebody letting a family member play their game while they work😂
Suurreeee....your friend bought it then decided to give it to you that same day he bought it. Instead of playing it himself.......riiigghhhtttt.......not to mention INACCESSIBILITY FEATURES ARENT WINDOW DRESSING.
@@InnerRise why would i want subscribers if i don't make any content? That would be pointless, stupid and only people with too much ego would bother getting subscribers unless they're an actual creator.
One complaint I had with the original and even the remastered was that I always felt Joel looked too young for his age in the apocalypse….but here you can see the gray hairs, the wrinkles, you can see the stress in his face. He looks brooding, he looks worried…he looks like he’s waiting for a monster to pop out around the corner
I’m someone who’s playing it for the first time. I know I’m late to the party but I seem to of missed it when it first came out. I just finished the bills town chapter and I love it so far. The graphics look pretty modern and haptic feedback is awesome on my PS five. The story and characters are great but I already knew that from what I’ve heard before. The only issues I’ve seen so far are minor graphic Pop ins and sometimes the companion AI isn’t that great. Minor issues aside I highly recommend. I understand for those who already bought it twice in some cases the $70 price tag is a bit much but since it’s the first time buyer for me I felt the price is worth it. To each their own
Back when this game originally came out I had moved on to PC years ago because of games like WoW, but I remember viewing this game from afar thinking if I ever invest in another console this'll be on top of the list. Fast forward nearly a decade later, I still haven't touched these games once, I JUST bought a ps5 last month and now I'm finally getting to enjoy the game for the first time with this remake version.
Oh boy. I recommend back to back part 1 and then part 2. With left behind in between. What an emotionally devastating, gut punching, amazing time you’ll have.
@@kcamfork um, DUH that is the order the games are in so I'm pretty sure you're not recommending something that he doesn't already know. colton the cuk: hey I recommend you play #1 #2 #3 #4 in that order dont tell anyone my trick
This game is my all time, most favorite game , that I replayed many, many times over. For Sony to release this for $70 and no discount for those who already own the game just shows that they are trying to milk every penny out of their current customer base. I will absolutely not pick this up until it’s around $10 at most. This kind of treatment of Sony fans will not last long. Please rethink your business strategy.
@@cezarstefanseghjucan Bro you can find TLOU remastered for PS4 for less than $10 used...and it still holds up. Even the PS3 version imo still holds up. If you want to pay $70 for a spit shine "remastered" game then that's up to you.
@@HOLLOWFENiX I'd personally pay 40$ for it. It looks insanely better for a game that "still holds up" did you not watch the video? It still probably took them a year to remake the game with a new engine, though granted, 70-60-50 is too high. 40$ for higher fps, better graphics, one of the greatest games ever, wouldn't of been that terrible. I do agree though!
I’ve played the game twice (the last time just before pt 2 came out) and I’m looking forward to play it again when it drops in price. I feel like if you’ve purchased older versions you should get a discount at least.
@@ramrodbldm9876 they havnt got time lol? I can just insert the disk from the old game or redownload from the store. Pretty easy way to know if somebody has purchased it. Why you acting like they gotta come round to my house to check I have the game.
@@alexmilner2207 ignore that dude. He's making comments on everyone's videos that read as if he's a drunk old man or a bot. He probably is. Sorry, IT probably is. IT'S just a bot. 😂
I played it for the first time like 2 months ago and this would've been a godsend but in a few years when I feel like replaying it I'll see how much it costs
I wouldn't have minded paying 30 or 50, It is a ground up rebuild after all. Here in however Canada the game is 90 dollars. Its so hard to justify paying that for a 12-15 hour long game. That's what games cost now next gen ones at least, I'm happy to pay that for a god of war Ragnarök, a 40+ hour game ill play at least twice.
Exactly what I’m doing. I played on PS4 but never went further than Tess dying at the capital building. I just got to that part on the remake for PS5 not sure how much is left but the rest of the game moving forward is brand new for me
@@truthseeker9414 that is very early on in the game. There are 10 chapters and that’s chapter 2. Pretty sure some of the later chapters are much bigger so you’re probably like at the 15% mark.
@@noumanintown Wow!, I’ve enjoyed it so far I’m currently on the part where Joel & Ellie are in the subway tunnels. I played Part two but always seen people say Part 1 is way better
Just the UI changes where it matches #TLOU2's will help make the experience more streamlined. It was weird going back to the Remaster after playing Part 2. The multi-colored button cues for the QTE's seemed a bit out of place for the games overall mood and atmosphere. The white minimalism definitely feels better...
I played 20 minutes just to check it out, wow it's easily the definitive version. From the opening scene, it's immediately noticeable how improved the graphics and presentation are. Feels more natural now having both Part 1 and Part 2 as a set. Now of course the $70 raises eyebrows, and I don't blame people for not wanting to dip in. Since this is my favorite game of all time and I have the disposable income for my hobby, it's a no-brainer.
@@ownzuall this is the only thing keeping me from getting Part 1 atm. There’s no point in enjoying a superior game when it has a sequel with superior game mechanics.
Just bought this earlier today. First time playing it thou. But I watched the cutscenes in both last of us 1 and 2 when they came out. I had no console that time.
Watching this video for the first time. Recently bought TLOU on Steam cause it's my favorite game (and I am an Xbox guy my entire life) only to find my gaming laptop can't handle it :( I love this game and the series as a whole. TLOU I and II are some absolute masterpieces. I loved both of them. The visuals, the sounds, the music (I absolutely love the music). I don't think a game has ever moved me so much. As a man who's been with Xbox his entire life, TLOU will probably be my favourite game ever. I hope to get a good computer to play them one day and be able to experience it all for myself. I would also love to see factions out again. That game slapped. For context, I only got to play bits of TLOU I through my cousin's PS3. Most of TLOU I and the entirety of TLOU II was experienced on RUclips.
As much as I loved the game I can't justify paying full price for this "remake", especially when it's really just a really well done remaster. It's clearly the definitive version to play if I ever feel like revisiting the game, but there has to be a price drop or sale before I even consider getting it.
@@aaqilkhan480 "rebuild from the ground up" isn't really true though. The foundation of the game is still the same, like the level layout, enemies and their locations, and the gameplay. Again, it's not like I'm not acknowledging the amount of work they put in to make it look amazing, but it's not really a remake when most of the game is still the same.
@@faboo2001 It feels wrong to just call it a remaster though. We’ve all seen what even the best remasters look like. You can’t look at the ps4 version and this one side by side and say it looks like a typical remaster.
You know I had never played through it myself, I watched my cousin play it back when it first released and thought it was awesome. Now all these years later, I went out and bought myself a PS3 copy of the game, and I gotta say I've been binging my way through the campaign. Fantastic game!
This is my favorite game of all time, it’s literally perfect in my eyes. I’ve played it so many times and I was so excited to see that it was coming to ps5. The upgrades really do look “next gen” but the price really just kills it for me. I’m looking forward to getting the game when it goes on sale for like 20-30$
@@spearofconquest ikr...sadly , the first party games never go on to sale for as low as 30$ price tag. I mean Demon souls after 2 yrs since release was 40$ at it's lowest !
@@muchneededV1B3S If it's literally perfect to him then 4k shouldn't be a thing to bat an eye for, It ain't for me, Played it on PS3 when it came out, It was great, played it on PS4 it was still great and now the controller is better, but a remaster? Naw mate that's just a cash grab
I played the original remaster on ps4 and it was a good time! I haven't played part 2, but it is on my list. I dont think I really need to go back and buy this game again, but the visuals look really good and I can see why people would be excited to play again
By the time I get around to getting a PS5, it should be on sale and I'll check it out, then, but I'm the same. I played the remaster on PS4 and loved it. I also loved TLOU2, despite the hatred it got from the fanbase.
@@AbstractM0use Don't believe the bullshit. TLOU2 was only hated by a small group of pathetic people. The vast majority of the fan base was fully on board.
@@AbstractM0use the only hate I actually saw towards the game was more focused on the characters sexuality instead of much of anything else. I’m sure you’ll have a fantastic time.
This game looks absolutely phenomenal, and I cannot wait to play it. But $70 is kind of insane, considering that this is a remaster and doesn't even have Factions Multiplayer as the original did. I'll definitely get this when it goes on sale.
@@RyanN05 Not at all... Remasters are like those HD Collections of Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, etc. Remakes are like Crash Bandicoot N' Sane Trilogy, Spyro, etc. Reimagines/reboots are things like FFVIIR, Resident Evil 2, etc.
@@All_Ice117 The game doesn't introduce any real new features aside from the accessibility updates, which don't impact gameplay for most players. I like the game, but at its base, it is a graphics update. This is not a "remake" it isn't fundamentally different in any way, shape, or form.
$75USD? You think that's bad? Here in Australia it's $125AUD. Just for reference games here in general aren't really that expensive like they used to be. For some reason brand new PS5 exclusives are always $125 here while normal new titles would cost roughly $80-$90 compared to the US $60-70. I don't know how many people here are actually buying these games at such a ludicrous price but I sure as hell ain't. We still get good sales so I'ma wait until this is like $40 or less a few months in.
Yeah the PSN store pricing is fixed on region and varies ALOT , here in Turkey the game is $38 , which is a perfect price for a game like this and its the same price of every new game , even pre-orders are $38. Sony really needs to rethink their pricing strategy and the PSN store as a whole , paying $85 in Australlia meanwhile the game is $38 in Turkey shouldnt be a reality , its plain unfair to Australlian gamers. I recommend getting a Turkish account/Argentinian PSN account as the pricing of all games is more than halved.
The visuals look fantastic here but would’ve been nice if the game was at least $49.99 starting out. I know PS5 games are more so being introduced at $70 but again, this game has initially been released twice before already, regardless of being more of a remake here. And thank you, Jake for this breakdown! I don’t have a PS5 yet but hoping to get one in the next year so I can experience this one again with a refreshed twist 🙏
Started playing it yesterday and it's great. I just like having part 1 and 2 now on my ps5, and they both play together like one long game, without a graphical difference between the two. The foliage has been cranked up. The lighting is different and creates entirely new moods on certain scenes. And the character models are awesome. I've played the older versions several times, and this is a whole new experience. There's a particular scene where tess gets pretty intense, and her eyes look desperate and she has one eyebrow raised higher than the other. She looked like a REAL person. And it was definitely it a facial expression that was not shown in the older versions. Price is still pretty damn high for what is essentially still a remaster. If you're on a budget, wait til this game drops to like $30. But then DEFINITELY buy it, because it is still a phenomenal game all these years later.
Yeah, I agree. I've played the opening of the game multiple times, but the ultra-realistic facial expressions of this game made that gut punch of an opening hit just as hard as it did the first time. I think this game is a must buy on a sale (or if you've never played it). I only bought it cuz I'm game sharing with my bro whose never played this game before. What a great way to experience this game for the first time
@@ramrodbldm9876 dude why are you even watching videos on game reviews when you don't even seem interested in the tech specifications of games? Really heated for no reason. You wrote that comment while drunk or something?
For some reason, the footages you presented here have been the best in convincing me that the graphical fidelity is truly different; I don't know if it's to do with the way you guys captured the gameplay, but yeah, great job.
At first I thought this was _The Last of Us - Before You Buy, _*_Part I,_* with a Part 2 coming later to squeeze some extra views out of the review, which would be oddly appropriate given what Naughty Dog is doing.
One other little detail I miss in Part 1 that was in Part 2, is the way the enemies shouted out each other's names after one was killed. That really added a personal touch that immersed you in the world even more. Overall I'm super impressed with the game, not thrilled about the price tag. But this is my favorite game of all time, just made better.
Started playing this game yesterday because of all the conversation around the new version. I had the PS4 Remaster sitting around for ages and never gave it a go. Well, I did try it once but I messed it up and never got past the first part where they were going to get the rations. Yesterday I gave it a real go (Normal mode) and was surprised. It was challenging but definitely easier than expected. I thought it would be like Resident Evil or third person shooter most of the time. The game is actually very balanced.
What? Two different genres. How can you go blind into a game nowdays where you have gameplays and info about the games in every corenr (youtube, twitch etc)
@@pulseofme6884 Are you illiterate? I said I started playing the PS4 remaster because everyone is talking about the new version. I didn't say I bought the new one. Learn to read.
This is just me but the original holds up so well that the 'remake' should have added new features such as going prone and expanded on areas a bit to change it up so fans of the original had something new. ND had the resources from both part I and II so it was certainly achievable. Still, it's one of my favourite games of all time so I will be playing at some point.
all i want out of a remake is a facelift as if it were made for the newest available gen and polish of the existing gameplay mechanics, smoothing out certain things, not adding stuff you didn't do in the original, cut content and dlc is a whole other thing that nice to have if it does exist for it
There's no arguing on the amount of effort that went into the visuals. But we're essentially paying $70 only for the visuals. When I paid $60 for Elden Ring I paid $60 for the entire game design, story writing, music creation, maybe not so much gameplay cos its very dark soulsy, and visuals. $70 for JUST visuals seems too much to me
I appreciate all the work they clearly did to bring a classic game up to the current generation, but I still can't justify paying full price for that when I've played the original and the remaster already. Once it goes below like $50, I might scoop it up
As Jake said if you've never played this and you love a story driven game then buy it it's honestly one of the most Beautiful crafted games ever made in every sense I have bought it for the third time as I love this game and seeing it and playing it with the graphics upgrade and it is a proper overhaul and as said how they've redone the facial animation enough though it was amazing on the PS3 I can truly say the the cut scene with Tess as shown in this vid is so much more powerful looking forward to getting to Bill as his character is one of the best parts of this game I'd give it 10/10 anyway but it does honestly deserve it the only problem for me is reminding me of the 7 years I waited for part 2 and that's another story!
I played it on the PS3 and I loved it It came with my PS4, and I’ve played it so much My favorite part of the game was after beating it 3 or 4 times, I put it on the easiest difficulty and just ran through the game guns blazing Def an entertaining way to play the game haha, and also a level of fun that I didn’t expect to get from the game after beating it. I highly recommend you do that if you’ve beat it. When I get a PS5 I will be buying this. I did not buy the Last of Us PT2, mostly because there was so much info and news around the game I kinda just wanted to play it without being swayed by how people feel. And if it’s not good to me, that’s cool. I won’t regret waiting, and if it’s great it will have been worth it. But. If I had a PS5 now? Especially because it came with my PS4 I would not buy it at $70. I’d wait for a sale If I get the Ps5 before it goes on sale?…I’d still wait for a sale I think
I have never played last of us ever before, i never had ps before, ps5 is my first ever playstation console, picked this game up as a 2nd hard market, and just completed it, i have tons of emotions for this, story telling masterpiece, just kind of speechless as of now
I can’t justify spending $75 on this game after beating it so many times on the remaster. But if they included factions, i would of bought this in a heart beat. They didn’t have to change anything about it either gameplay wise. Imo the best multiplayer game ever.
I played the remaster for the first time about 2yrs ago too n it was pretty good, but this definitely looks like a massive step up. That said, full price $70 is insane, it should be like $50 maximum
i think it shouldve been bundled with lou2 for 70 and then the price is justified. the price for this should be $40 max just cause you can play this game for free if you have playstation plus
@02:12 I went into that water to check out the details. There is no reflection of Joel in the water and there were dots in a grid pattern on the water surface. I thought it was a strange oversight. Everything else looks good so far.
I was about to preorder, but had a sinking feeling… checked online and yup, no multiplayer. I loved Last of Us 1’s story, but kept playing for over a year because of how fun the multiplayer was
Asking $70 for this game is an *insult* to you. The game was released for PS3. Then *RE* - released for PS4. And now, *RE* - *RE* - released for PS5. Listen.... the price for a *new* game is $60. You can't ask above the price for a new game, for a game you that have been released *TWICE* already. This is an insult to gamers
not even that but there are little to no changes whatsoever. They reselling you the same game with updated visuals and graphics. Remember when they said that they'll increase the price of their games due to how expensive they become? Well Hogwarts Legacy releases on PC for the standard price while it's 20 euros more on the ps store and that game actually is new and looks incredibly next gen. Freaking lies and people are bypassing them because tlou is so popular.
@@GRGCompletionist I will say in their defense, that the graphical upgrade looks good. But it no where near qualify them to ask $70 for a re-re-release
An amazing and gratifying moment in my life was beating this game on Grounded difficulty setting without dying one time, on my first try (not the first time ever, hell no lol. Just first Grounded try). I practiced a TON on the other difficulty settings by beating it a lot and learning everything I could by playing it. And then I tried Grounded and it was one of the most intense and heart pounding and memorable gaming experiences of my life. I'll never forget the feeling it gave me while playing it. Felt like a true survivor in a hellish dystopia lol.
I live in Brazil and after a long time, life got better and I finally have means to have a PS5, this was the first time plying this game and WOW! Amazing! What an experience! Loved it!
instant purchase. have I played it on multiple platforms already? yes. is it a fantastic game that I want to continue to replay every now and then? yes. was there anything wrong with the previous version? no. am I pleased to play a current gen version? Heck yeah
I love it, gonna replay it 100 times. Definitely the best version of The Last Of Us, I wish there was a trophy for beating it on grounded though. Regarding Factions, there is a Factions mode coming out next year so keep your eyes open for that.
I’m going to be one of the “lucky ones”. Never played this game, always wanted to but I was very burnt out of the zombie genre after Walking Dead. Definitely going to give this a good play through!
Thanks for laying it all out. I love both the original and (yes, even) Part 2 to pieces. So, I knew as soon as Part 1 was announced that I was eventually going to get it (even though I also didn't believe the ps4 version was outdated in any way). That said, I will wait until it's a tad cheaper.
I’ve never played the last of us but I grew up watching RUclipsrs play it. $70 is hefty but this game is one of the all time greats and being able to experience it first hand with a dual sense and these new graphics has me excited.
@@Walker-ow7vj that’s tru op said grew up but. It’s not worth polishing a turd tho lol he experienced it already he ain’t getting the 💯% 1st time experience he commented for.
This game did not interest me back 2013 but my taste in games has definetly expanded through the years. I am now about four hours in this game and I’m enjoyning the hell out of it. I recommened the remake for anyone who hasn’t played the original before.
I have a series x (Xbox main for years) but my wife just bought me a PS5 because well…..she’s awesome. Anyway, she got me all the games I complained about not being able to play because of exclusivity. Spider-Man (both games) Horizon 1&2, God of War, and finally… The Last of Us! I was hooked in the first five minutes! What an amazing work of art! The consoles are both awesome, but PS5 exclusives are just exceptional games and I can see why PlayStation outsells it’s competition…it’s all about the games! I’ve been a gamer since Pong, Atari, and NES (48 y/o). What an amazing time to be a gamer and it’s only going to get better. Thanks to all the talented artists, producers, writers, animators, developers, actors and so on, who provide the escape and immersion into these incredible worlds!!!
Man I just want this game for the PC. I loved it on the PS, but I really want to play it on the highest difficulty, but I'm too bad with a controller to aim properly.
Thankfully it was first time playing the last of us ever so the 50$ Black Friday price was worth it . I just finished it and holy shit so beautiful and dark …..
I liked the original first game, and I have not played the second yet. I have not replayed it many times like a lot of the community seems to have. I will probably pick this up, and play through it, and then pick up Part 2 and play through it as well. As far as I could tell though, it looks like they do not have a PS5 version of Part 2. I hope that is added soon.
I got this game in the PlayStation store on day one. Also Joel can dodge. I’ve push the triangle button and he dodged. One thing I haven’t seen from no reviewer about this game talking about the snow ❄️ stage when you’re playing as Ellie and Joel that the DualSense controller make you feel like you’re there. What I mean is, it feels like the wind is pushing you back. That was AMAZING to me! Also Naughty Dogs was right about the Pulse 3D headset. You can hear everything around you. I think the money is worth it. I’m not tripping over $70. If that game wasn’t so amazing… I would’ve been mad. I love it! One more thing… Ellie help you out a lot on here
This was the only game I've really played in the last decade. I don't own a consol, but my ex did, and actually staying over at his place staying up til 4am playing The Last of Us was how we formed a relationship :') Good times.
I have heard so much good about the Last of Us games, so i just had to get as a PS5 version for my first time experience. My expectation is mostly based on if I will feel it was worth it or if I will be enjoying myself.. I have only just begun the story so still a lot of excitement in me! 🎉
There is no "factions" which was a big part of the original! I have beaten this game countless amounts of times and I still love it as if it was my first time playing! I'm not paying 70 bucks for a game that I have already bought twice; and has less modes than the original 2! All they had to do is add factions, and I would have thrown my money at them!
Played The Last of Us 2 first. Game blew my mind. Then tried to play the original but the graphics looked bad. Saw they were remaking it for PS5 so I waited. For me, it was definitely worth the wait and the price!
I've never played it, but would love to... just on the PC. I don't own a console, and don't ever intend to go out and pick up a PlayStation just to play it.
Wouldn't be paying for it a 3rd time no matter what the price. And from what I've seen it's just a Polish... Calling it a remake is incorrect. Save your money!
Never paying full price for this AGAIN!! Im over it with this game. Great game! Actually one of the best I've played EVER! But enough is enough..70 bucks is OUTRAGEOUS. Yea I'll pass..Saving it for God Of War💯🤷🏾♂️
I think even $40-45 bucks would have been a reasonable ask for this... but pricing this the same as a new "triple a" release (including Sony-tax!) is a pretty big ask... particularly when the "remake" is essentially a (well done) graphical overhaul and minor AI tweaks with limited gameplay impact. I understand that they couldn't just import the new mechanics from TLoU2 and plop them down into a gameworld that wasn't designed with those new mechanics in mind... and that's fine. The game didn't "NEED" to have mechanics overhaul, but without substantial gameplay additions, this just doesn't justify it's full asking price. Maybe once the game is down to half-price, I'll pick it up. If it dropped at $40, I would have probably picked it up day one.
Missed it the first time around-must have been a good year-but I've always been intrigued so I'll definitely have to catch this one. Maybe I'll hold off for a better price first though 😉
While I never played it (I'm broke so I watched walkthroughs) the original is so nostalgic and great, and the older graphics add to that. Don't get me wrong, the remaster looks great too though. I love seeing just how far games graphics have gone in what isn't actually that many years, if you think about it.
As crazy as it sounds, I have never fully finished the original version. Tried like twice, but you know… life. So when they announced this, I knew I had to get it on release and take this opportunity as the one where I finally take the full journey. Have been playing it since midnight on release, and man I am so happy that I get to experience this version as my first full experience of the game because it is unmatched. Naughty Dog prevails once again!
Played it when it first released. Blown away for the story and the gameplay. $70 is a steep price to ask for a game that was released in 2013. $50 I'd be happy to pay. It's a well-done overhaul but feels kinda like a cash grab. If you're playing it for the first time, then $70 might feel right. You're in for an amazing experience.
The Last of Us 1 & 2 are my favorite games of all time. I’ve been gaming for 30+ years. That all being said, I feel like charging full price for this game was ridiculous. I expected at the very least for the levels to be redesigned to match the gameplay from Part 2. We didn’t get any of that. I’m passing for now

Regardless of how stunning they can make it look, the Last of Us on the very last days of the PS3's life cycle was outstanding and nothing can ever compare to how it hit the first time playing it
What about the people who play this new version for the first time? Like the PC players
I didn’t realize this came out at the end of the PS3. I know they had an update for the PS4, like a remaster right? This isn’t a remake but more closer to TLOU2 engine and look right? I’d buy it because I’m about to get a PS5 and I haven’t had one since the PS2 so I have a ton of exclusives I have missed out and this is the perfect time to buy this one.
An amazing and gratifying moment in my life was beating this game on Grounded difficulty setting without dying one time, on my first try (not the first time ever, hell no lol. Just first Grounded try). I practiced a TON on the other difficulty settings by beating it a lot and learning everything I could by playing it. And then I tried Grounded and it was one of the most intense and heart pounding and memorable gaming experiences of my life. I'll never forget the feeling it gave me while playing it. Felt like a true survivor in a hellish dystopia lol.
I bet it can compare if you never played it before ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There’s a bunch of lucky people out there who will be playing this as their 1st experience of TLOU.
Loved this game and excited to eventually replay it on my PS5. I do think that Sony did a disservice making this game a full $70. Pretty sure it should have been $39.99 or $49.99, maybe even a bundle with Part 1 and Part 2 for $70 (Kind of like what they did with Spider-Man and Miles Morales)
Damn Straight, clearly this is a well-made remastered but that price point is doing nothing but screaming CASH GRAB!!! Then again what do I expect from Sony, they release great first party games on consoles for a fair price then demand that same price with every remaster that is released and from every PC port despite these games being ancient comparatively speaking when this happens.
@@schemage2210 £70 is way too pricy for this game, however that doesn't define it a cash grab, its the definitive version of the game. If this was anything like the GTA trilogy definitive edition. That was a cash grab.
Tell me you're broke without telling me you're broke
@@Izralights saying something isn't worth the price tag has nothing to do with whether you can afford it, but whether its worth it...
@@avarionuk4283 personally I think your quibbling over definitions. For instance this is by far not a definitive edition (in spite of whatever label Sony puts on the box) as this product was shipped without the multiplayer "factions" mode. Can you really call it the definitive edition if it is missing components of the original game.
Further this isn't like the Mass Effect remaster that put every piece of dlc in one place, the total cost of which was many times the original purchase price of the three base games, here you are only getting the remastered game and a single piece of dlc.
Whether dlc adds more to the value proposition, or marketing labels like "definitive edition", this product is still not worth a whole $70.
It's just the same that God of war on steam is $75 (locally). For a 4 year old game, that is outrageously overpriced.
Everyone should make sure to turn on the dialogue vibrations in the settings because it’s not automatically on. You can feel the pitch, volume, and frequency of all the voices, and it makes it so much better.
Kinda distracting imo
Yes! Now I can make by keyboard and mouse vibrate!
I hate all the gimmicks the ps5 controller has. Makes the batteries run out quick just like the PS4 controller. And they don’t even give you the option to switch out batteries

A remake at the same price as a NEW game with NEW gameplay and NEW stories. I respect that it deserves a remake, but the price is a slap to the face
For me also, I love the game but I refuse to pay for the same game “again”. Man I want some different great games to pay for not another revamp, remaster, remake.
@@JiggaJ1979 and to think Days Gone 2 was cancelled while they put out something easier to cash in on

New story is a bit of a stretch, but some TLOU 2 gameplay mechanics would definitely justify the price tag more than pretty looks.
pricetag is like a slap to the face? more like a kick to the balls
I’m also a little disappointed that they did not integrate the combat a little more from 2. That was among the best changes they made to part 2, I realize that Joel wouldn’t be able to do some things Ellie could but yeah, a dodge button would’ve been cool. Either way I will check it out when it hits PC

I love the TLoU and playing through this story on Part 1 feels partly like a new game. The video mentioned that speedrunners will notice a lot more when it comes to the mechanics of the game, and that is 100% true. Im finding myself relearning routes and levels because the AI, targeting, and level design has had enough done to it to force me to relearn. I play solely on grounded and lemme tell ya Pittsburgh was hell, and it was so much more fun. As a die hard TLoU fan the $70 didn't bother me too much, but not snagging a physical firefly edition did lol
1 of my fav games of all time, didn't feel like it needed a remake after the remaster but still looks amazing
agree bro
Honestly the remake looks a lot better than I expected. It's not just a game with better graphics. I didn't expect them to completely change how certain buildings look or change a building to something else. It's just hard for me to say a 9 year old game needs a remake and I still will say this game did not need a remake. I think most games in the ps3's later life cycle still look gorgeous and still hold up. It's weird because I still remember the original getting released and all the well known youtubers playing it.
the graphics upgrades are nice, but frankly it's not that drastic of difference... however the haptic feedback makes it worth the price tag imo.
yep, you get the vhs, then the dvd, then the bluray, then the 4k release, i hope you buy the next one homie.
Play it on a 4k screen with 3D Audio then get back to me, the immersion is even more incredible!

The one thing I noticed after playing the original and remastered so many times is they changed out all the metal trash cans with the big plastic ones you see today along with some environmental changes with different furniture. Other than that it’s basically the same game with better graphics and some fancy window dressing like new menu interfaces and some more detailed workbench animations. I got to play it for free because my friend let me borrow it the day he got it and I gotta say it’s super awesome jumping back in to a game I’m so fond of and seeing it look like this. Not worth 70 bucks but it is the best way to experience this game for the first time that’s for sure.

He looks brooding, he looks worried…he looks like he’s waiting for a monster to pop out around the corner

I’m someone who’s playing it for the first time. I know I’m late to the party but I seem to of missed it when it first came out. I just finished the bills town chapter and I love it so far. The graphics look pretty modern and haptic feedback is awesome on my PS five. The story and characters are great but I already knew that from what I’ve heard before. The only issues I’ve seen so far are minor graphic Pop ins and sometimes the companion AI isn’t that great. Minor issues aside I highly recommend. I understand for those who already bought it twice in some cases the $70 price tag is a bit much but since it’s the first time buyer for me I felt the price is worth it. To each their own

Back when this game originally came out I had moved on to PC years ago because of games like WoW, but I remember viewing this game from afar thinking if I ever invest in another console this'll be on top of the list.

Recently bought TLOU on Steam cause it's my favorite game (and I am an Xbox guy my entire life) only to find my gaming laptop can't handle it :( I love this game and the series as a whole. TLOU I and II are some absolute masterpieces. I loved both of them. The visuals, the sounds, the music (I absolutely love the music). I don't think a game has ever moved me so much. As a man who's been with Xbox his entire life, TLOU will probably be my favourite game ever. I hope to get a good computer to play them one day and be able to experience it all for myself. I would also love to see factions out again. That game slapped.
For context, I only got to play bits of TLOU I through my cousin's PS3. Most of TLOU I and the entirety of TLOU II was experienced on RUclips.
As much as I loved the game I can't justify paying full price for this "remake", especially when it's really just a really well done remaster. It's clearly the definitive version to play if I ever feel like revisiting the game, but there has to be a price drop or sale before I even consider getting it.

@@thishandleisnotavaliable I should immigrate to Turkey now.
I mean to be fair your minimum wage is $21 an hour as apose to the uk which is £9.50. So I'm my opinion you guys get it easy
@@heycommander4275 In nz our mininum wage is $21NZD but some people still dont think thats enough. Cost of living is so fcking expensive here
The visuals look fantastic here but would’ve been nice if the game was at least $49.99 starting out. I know PS5 games are more so being introduced at $70 but again, this game has initially been released twice before already, regardless of being more of a remake here.
And thank you, Jake for this breakdown! I don’t have a PS5 yet but hoping to get one in the next year so I can experience this one again with a refreshed twist 🙏
Started playing it yesterday and it's great. I just like having part 1 and 2 now on my ps5, and they both play together like one long game, without a graphical difference between the two. The foliage has been cranked up. The lighting is different and creates entirely new moods on certain scenes. And the character models are awesome. I've played the older versions several times, and this is a whole new experience. There's a particular scene where tess gets pretty intense, and her eyes look desperate and she has one eyebrow raised higher than the other. She looked like a REAL person. And it was definitely it a facial expression that was not shown in the older versions. Price is still pretty damn high for what is essentially still a remaster. If you're on a budget, wait til this game drops to like $30. But then DEFINITELY buy it, because it is still a phenomenal game all these years later.
Yeah, I agree. I've played the opening of the game multiple times, but the ultra-realistic facial expressions of this game made that gut punch of an opening hit just as hard as it did the first time. I think this game is a must buy on a sale (or if you've never played it). I only bought it cuz I'm game sharing with my bro whose never played this game before. What a great way to experience this game for the first time
You typed whole high school essay about a video game get a life dude. I've never seen a KID get so excited about tess making a face that looks REAL u
@@ramrodbldm9876 Who the hell hurt you?
its the same fucking game with upgraded graphics why the fuck would you buy it a third time?
@@ramrodbldm9876 dude why are you even watching videos on game reviews when you don't even seem interested in the tech specifications of games? Really heated for no reason. You wrote that comment while drunk or something?
For some reason, the footages you presented here have been the best in convincing me that the graphical fidelity is truly different; I don't know if it's to do with the way you guys captured the gameplay, but yeah, great job.
I beat it a couple times on PS3 then another couple times on PS4. I’m happy to do it again on PS5. It’s that great.
At first I thought this was _The Last of Us - Before You Buy, _*_Part I,_* with a Part 2 coming later to squeeze some extra views out of the review, which would be oddly appropriate given what Naughty Dog is doing.
One other little detail I miss in Part 1 that was in Part 2, is the way the enemies shouted out each other's names after one was killed. That really added a personal touch that immersed you in the world even more. Overall I'm super impressed with the game, not thrilled about the price tag. But this is my favorite game of all time, just made better.
Is the gore the same as part 2?
@@FilthyForce yesss sometimes more so

@@tylerbrown5526 is there a release date?
@@hatastic33hatlord58 Not that I'm aware. There's rumors of news this year but...?
Started playing this game yesterday because of all the conversation around the new version. I had the PS4 Remaster sitting around for ages and never gave it a go. Well, I did try it once but I messed it up and never got past the first part where they were going to get the rations. Yesterday I gave it a real go (Normal mode) and was surprised. It was challenging but definitely easier than expected. I thought it would be like Resident Evil or third person shooter most of the time. The game is actually very balanced.
What? Two different genres. How can you go blind into a game nowdays where you have gameplays and info about the games in every corenr (youtube, twitch etc)
@@ownzuall Because I want to be surprised? Why would I watch RUclips and Twitch videos of a game I haven't even opened yet?
@@ownzuall What. They're both the exact same genre.
So you had the remaster just sitting there and you decide to pay 70 bucks for a game you already had xD
@@pulseofme6884 Are you illiterate? I said I started playing the PS4 remaster because everyone is talking about the new version. I didn't say I bought the new one. Learn to read.
This is just me but the original holds up so well that the 'remake' should have added new features such as going prone and expanded on areas a bit to change it up so fans of the original had something new. ND had the resources from both part I and II so it was certainly achievable. Still, it's one of my favourite games of all time so I will be playing at some point.
Literally everyone and their mother had the same take. So no it's not "just you" 😅
true. If you do a ground up remake, change some Game Design Choices to make it more interesting. And to fit dodge in.
This is everyone's take
all i want out of a remake is a facelift as if it were made for the newest available gen and polish of the existing gameplay mechanics, smoothing out certain things, not adding stuff you didn't do in the original, cut content and dlc is a whole other thing that nice to have if it does exist for it
Even some of the bathroom scales worked when you step on them, I thought that was a nice little detail.
Yeah, I still don't think it'd be worth a full-price purchase.
There's no arguing on the amount of effort that went into the visuals. But we're essentially paying $70 only for the visuals. When I paid $60 for Elden Ring I paid $60 for the entire game design, story writing, music creation, maybe not so much gameplay cos its very dark soulsy, and visuals. $70 for JUST visuals seems too much to me
The cutscenes are more impactful in the newer one. Their faces are more expressive. If you haven't played it yet, it's a must buy.
imagine paying 75 for a re-release, only special people like you do this cr*p
I appreciate all the work they clearly did to bring a classic game up to the current generation, but I still can't justify paying full price for that when I've played the original and the remaster already. Once it goes below like $50, I might scoop it up
As Jake said if you've never played this and you love a story driven game then buy it it's honestly one of the most Beautiful crafted games ever made in every sense I have bought it for the third time as I love this game and seeing it and playing it with the graphics upgrade and it is a proper overhaul and as said how they've redone the facial animation enough though it was amazing on the PS3 I can truly say the the cut scene with Tess as shown in this vid is so much more powerful looking forward to getting to Bill as his character is one of the best parts of this game I'd give it 10/10 anyway but it does honestly deserve it the only problem for me is reminding me of the 7 years I waited for part 2 and that's another story!
The #1 thing I wanted was not a graphical update, but massively improved enemy AI.
Just buy the remastered version and save yourself money. (Jesus there are so many versions of this game it's hard to distinguish)
There are 3. There’s 5 versions of gta 5 and this is getting much more hate even though it’s at least a remake and not 5 remastered versions
this one is easy to distinguish
I played it on the PS3 and I loved it
It came with my PS4, and I’ve played it so much
My favorite part of the game was after beating it 3 or 4 times, I put it on the easiest difficulty and just ran through the game guns blazing
Def an entertaining way to play the game haha, and also a level of fun that I didn’t expect to get from the game after beating it. I highly recommend you do that if you’ve beat it.
When I get a PS5 I will be buying this. I did not buy the Last of Us PT2, mostly because there was so much info and news around the game I kinda just wanted to play it without being swayed by how people feel. And if it’s not good to me, that’s cool. I won’t regret waiting, and if it’s great it will have been worth it.
But. If I had a PS5 now? Especially because it came with my PS4 I would not buy it at $70. I’d wait for a sale
If I get the Ps5 before it goes on sale?…I’d still wait for a sale I think
Cool story bro. Now which chapter do you stfu?
I have never played last of us ever before, i never had ps before, ps5 is my first ever playstation console, picked this game up as a 2nd hard market, and just completed it, i have tons of emotions for this, story telling masterpiece, just kind of speechless as of now
I can’t justify spending $75 on this game after beating it so many times on the remaster. But if they included factions, i would of bought this in a heart beat. They didn’t have to change anything about it either gameplay wise. Imo the best multiplayer game ever.
Facts nothing gets as brutal as that shit
I played the remaster for the first time about 2yrs ago too n it was pretty good, but this definitely looks like a massive step up. That said, full price $70 is insane, it should be like $50 maximum
i think it shouldve been bundled with lou2 for 70 and then the price is justified. the price for this should be $40 max just cause you can play this game for free if you have playstation plus
@k00ma definitely, thats how i played the remaster
@02:12 I went into that water to check out the details. There is no reflection of Joel in the water and there were dots in a grid pattern on the water surface. I thought it was a strange oversight. Everything else looks good so far.
I was about to preorder, but had a sinking feeling… checked online and yup, no multiplayer. I loved Last of Us 1’s story, but kept playing for over a year because of how fun the multiplayer was
This needs to drop on PC already!!!!
Ps exclusives should never drop on pc
I’ve never played tlou but I’m going to wait till it goes on sale
Asking $70 for this game is an *insult* to you. The game was released for PS3. Then *RE* - released for PS4. And now, *RE* - *RE* - released for PS5.
Listen.... the price for a *new* game is $60.
You can't ask above the price for a new game, for a game you that have been released *TWICE* already. This is an insult to gamers
Not to mention the cut multiplayer... really... people have to start using their brain
smells like broke in here
not even that but there are little to no changes whatsoever. They reselling you the same game with updated visuals and graphics. Remember when they said that they'll increase the price of their games due to how expensive they become? Well Hogwarts Legacy releases on PC for the standard price while it's 20 euros more on the ps store and that game actually is new and looks incredibly next gen. Freaking lies and people are bypassing them because tlou is so popular.
@@GRGCompletionist I will say in their defense, that the graphical upgrade looks good. But it no where near qualify them to ask $70 for a re-re-release
@@udontknowme00 Oh it was you who bought a Tesla for $70.000 to one of your Twitch queens. Just keep simping, makes perfect sense
An amazing and gratifying moment in my life was beating this game on Grounded difficulty setting without dying one time, on my first try (not the first time ever, hell no lol. Just first Grounded try). I practiced a TON on the other difficulty settings by beating it a lot and learning everything I could by playing it. And then I tried Grounded and it was one of the most intense and heart pounding and memorable gaming experiences of my life. I'll never forget the feeling it gave me while playing it. Felt like a true survivor in a hellish dystopia lol.
I live in Brazil and after a long time, life got better and I finally have means to have a PS5, this was the first time plying this game and WOW! Amazing! What an experience! Loved it!
in halfway through and i just love it. 100% worth every penny. can wait to play part 2 immediately after it
Same! I’m a sucker for this franchise, so they got that $70 out of me before it was even released. lol
I would love listening to these reviews on Spotify. Literally these but in audio form
Yeah I got premium and listen in audio form all the time
instant purchase. have I played it on multiple platforms already? yes. is it a fantastic game that I want to continue to replay every now and then? yes. was there anything wrong with the previous version? no. am I pleased to play a current gen version? Heck yeah
Any video game should not be over 40$
The overworked developers already making 2 dollars a year: 😭
I love it, gonna replay it 100 times.
Definitely the best version of The Last Of Us, I wish there was a trophy for beating it on grounded though.
Regarding Factions, there is a Factions mode coming out next year so keep your eyes open for that.

I’m going to be one of the “lucky ones”. Never played this game, always wanted to but I was very burnt out of the zombie genre after Walking Dead. Definitely going to give this a good play through!
Wow you’re in for a ride brother. I envy you
Lucky
Thanks for laying it all out. I love both the original and (yes, even) Part 2 to pieces. So, I knew as soon as Part 1 was announced that I was eventually going to get it (even though I also didn't believe the ps4 version was outdated in any way). That said, I will wait until it's a tad cheaper.
Can you tell me what is the difference where should I start there is like 4 versions of tlou
I’d say play either the PS4 remaster or the PS5 part 1 remake.
Just got the ps5 and about to play my first time crazy
I’ve never played the last of us but I grew up watching RUclipsrs play it. $70 is hefty but this game is one of the all time greats and being able to experience it first hand with a dual sense and these new graphics has me excited.
You Experienced it first hand by watching RUclips vids lol
@@bigmac371 Watching someone else play it us not first hand
@@michaelshourd653 he already knows what’s gonna happen I think that counts as experiencing it lol

This game did not interest me back 2013 but my taste in games has definetly expanded through the years. I am now about four hours in this game and I’m enjoyning the hell out of it.
I recommened the remake for anyone who hasn’t played the original before.
Well prepare for the second. It's the most depressing game ever created. I still haven't beat it 2 years later.
@@BloopsnBleeps you’re missing out on an amazing journey
I have a series x (Xbox main for years) but my wife just bought me a PS5 because well…..she’s awesome. Anyway, she got me all the games I complained about not being able to play because of exclusivity. Spider-Man (both games) Horizon 1&2, God of War, and finally… The Last of Us! I was hooked in the first five minutes! What an amazing work of art! The consoles are both awesome, but PS5 exclusives are just exceptional games and I can see why PlayStation outsells it’s competition…it’s all about the games! I’ve been a gamer since Pong, Atari, and NES (48 y/o). What an amazing time to be a gamer and it’s only going to get better. Thanks to all the talented artists, producers, writers, animators, developers, actors and so on, who provide the escape and immersion into these incredible worlds!!!
Man I just want this game for the PC. I loved it on the PS, but I really want to play it on the highest difficulty, but I'm too bad with a controller to aim properly.
I wouldn't worry about it too much since it seems like most PlayStation exclusives eventually end up on PC
@@RhinoNutts505 They already told they gona port this version to pc
@@RhinoNutts505 only the old ones go to pc😂
@@coolviewer3474 well the games are not that old lol
i’m running through the game now and i’m really happy with it so far. the lack of a dodge button feels like oversight however.
Ready for it to come out on PC. Beat a number of times on PS3, PS4 remastered and can't wait for my 20th play through on PC
Thankfully it was first time playing the last of us ever so the 50$ Black Friday price was worth it . I just finished it and holy shit so beautiful and dark …..
I liked the original first game, and I have not played the second yet. I have not replayed it many times like a lot of the community seems to have. I will probably pick this up, and play through it, and then pick up Part 2 and play through it as well. As far as I could tell though, it looks like they do not have a PS5 version of Part 2. I hope that is added soon.
I got this game in the PlayStation store on day one. Also Joel can dodge. I’ve push the triangle button and he dodged. One thing I haven’t seen from no reviewer about this game talking about the snow ❄️ stage when you’re playing as Ellie and Joel that the DualSense controller make you feel like you’re there. What I mean is, it feels like the wind is pushing you back. That was AMAZING to me! Also Naughty Dogs was right about the Pulse 3D headset. You can hear everything around you. I think the money is worth it. I’m not tripping over $70. If that game wasn’t so amazing… I would’ve been mad. I love it! One more thing… Ellie help you out a lot on here
This was the only game I've really played in the last decade. I don't own a consol, but my ex did, and actually staying over at his place staying up til 4am playing The Last of Us was how we formed a relationship :') Good times.
I have heard so much good about the Last of Us games, so i just had to get as a PS5 version for my first time experience. My expectation is mostly based on if I will feel it was worth it or if I will be enjoying myself.. I have only just begun the story so still a lot of excitement in me! 🎉
There is no "factions" which was a big part of the original! I have beaten this game countless amounts of times and I still love it as if it was my first time playing! I'm not paying 70 bucks for a game that I have already bought twice; and has less modes than the original 2! All they had to do is add factions, and I would have thrown my money at them!
That thing in your moms bedroom drawer: 5:19
Played The Last of Us 2 first. Game blew my mind. Then tried to play the original but the graphics looked bad. Saw they were remaking it for PS5 so I waited. For me, it was definitely worth the wait and the price!
Glad to hear it came out good. I look forward to playing it when I can get it used or out of the bargain bin for $20-$30.
I've never played it, but would love to... just on the PC.
I don't own a console, and don't ever intend to go out and pick up a PlayStation just to play it.
$125 in Australia 🤬

Wouldn't be paying for it a 3rd time no matter what the price. And from what I've seen it's just a Polish... Calling it a remake is incorrect. Save your money!

Never paying full price for this AGAIN!! Im over it with this game. Great game! Actually one of the best I've played EVER! But enough is enough..70 bucks is OUTRAGEOUS. Yea I'll pass..Saving it for God Of War💯🤷🏾♂️
A lot of people forget about the multiplayer. Does it have it like the Ps3/Ps4 version?
I think even $40-45 bucks would have been a reasonable ask for this... but pricing this the same as a new "triple a" release (including Sony-tax!) is a pretty big ask... particularly when the "remake" is essentially a (well done) graphical overhaul and minor AI tweaks with limited gameplay impact. I understand that they couldn't just import the new mechanics from TLoU2 and plop them down into a gameworld that wasn't designed with those new mechanics in mind... and that's fine. The game didn't "NEED" to have mechanics overhaul, but without substantial gameplay additions, this just doesn't justify it's full asking price. Maybe once the game is down to half-price, I'll pick it up. If it dropped at $40, I would have probably picked it up day one.
they should have added a new loaction and a boss fight. like 1 or 2 new guns added to the game as well. blows my mind they want $70 :(
for sale on steam rn $40
Missed it the first time around-must have been a good year-but I've always been intrigued so I'll definitely have to catch this one. Maybe I'll hold off for a better price first though 😉
While I never played it (I'm broke so I watched walkthroughs) the original is so nostalgic and great, and the older graphics add to that. Don't get me wrong, the remaster looks great too though. I love seeing just how far games graphics have gone in what isn't actually that many years, if you think about it.
As crazy as it sounds, I have never fully finished the original version. Tried like twice, but you know… life. So when they announced this, I knew I had to get it on release and take this opportunity as the one where I finally take the full journey. Have been playing it since midnight on release, and man I am so happy that I get to experience this version as my first full experience of the game because it is unmatched. Naughty Dog prevails once again!
Played it when it first released. Blown away for the story and the gameplay. $70 is a steep price to ask for a game that was released in 2013. $50 I'd be happy to pay. It's a well-done overhaul but feels kinda like a cash grab.
If you're playing it for the first time, then $70 might feel right. You're in for an amazing experience.
The Last of Us 1 & 2 are my favorite games of all time. I’ve been gaming for 30+ years. That all being said, I feel like charging full price for this game was ridiculous. I expected at the very least for the levels to be redesigned to match the gameplay from Part 2. We didn’t get any of that. I’m passing for now
I bought a pre owned disc today for 40$. Awesome game
Can you play last of us part 1 as a stand alone to avoid playing part 2 as a whole?
@@sigmaballs93 yeah ,but part2 is the conclusion
