@gummiphone The narrative's not really amazing, but it doesn't have to be. It has a lot of power, a lot of emotion to it, with still real-like characters that immerses you into the story it's trying to tell. So it's fine. That said, the very story it's trying to tell is a generic revenge plot that almost devalues the themes of the first game, but oh well. Somehow I still like the 2nd game more anyways.
You're right. This upgrade feels more like a Game Of The Year Edition than a remaster. Besides, the game is fairly recent so it looks more like a cash grab.
Defo cash grab might say it just 10 but imagine if we all said that bang that’s how u make money I’ll pass thank you second game weren’t that good any how 😂
The whole reason it's called that is related to the case of the first game. Both games were released at the end of the console's lifespans, so both versions get "Remasters" moving into the next gen. And by the way, a director's cut would actually imply changes to the game's story and presentation itself. Which clearly isn't the case, not even minimally.
im up for a remaster but not at such a barely noticable improvement. not even if it was free. This feels like a cash in after they lost money after cancelation of the online project.
Regarding the VRR which was mentioned briefly in this video - In (120hz) VRR modes you get 75-100 fps in Performance mode at 1440p and 40-60fps in Quality mode at native 2160p (4K). Other visuals improvements are a bit of increased foliage density and almost no LOD pop-in.
I personally never played The last of us part 1 or 2 when they released on PS4 so these PS5 remasters has been my introduction to the series so I’m thankful they did it. Some of the best games I’ve played.
Us Die-hard Souls fans have been asking for a 4k 60fps Bloodborne upgrade since Dark Souls 3 was upgraded in 60fps on PS4 Pro. This was at least several years ago.
Bloodborne would need a complete remake to make it 60fps. It was released early on in the PS4 cycle which means the entire code is based entirely on the PS4’s limitations. ie. 30fps.
@@bdgrey Infamous Second Son was released earlier and has a 60fps patch on PS5. My best guess is to make an upgraded version of Bloodborne (in whatever way) commercially available would require FromSoft's involvement in some way and they're just not going along with it for whatever reason. There is also the issue of fans thinking it's more popular than it actually is. Yes I know it sold well for a Soulslike but good lord, social media would have you believe for every Spiderman costume you see IRL, you'll see 2 of the Bloodborne hunter. 🙄

@@RemixerUltimate It sold well BEFORE people actually played it. I think though if they moved scenes around into a more chronological order it would have made the game less of a shock factor.
Leave it to TLOU fans to complain about an optional upgrade with new modes and content for only $10. The original game got a remaster at full price with less new content just a few months after the original ps3 release. This has been 3.5 years and people act like they’re being swindled.
This game seriously didn’t need remastered. 😭 it came out 4 years ago damn, it already looks absolutely stunning. It seems like Naughty dog only remakes their old games instead of making new ones anymore. Lmaoo they redid the last of us 1, twice.
At this point the amount of remasters they keep doing for part 1 and 2 stops me from playing either of the games. Wake me up when Naughty Dogs get tired and decide to remaster Jak and Daxter
Naughty Dog has only put out one original game in the last 6 years. That’s pretty lousy for a supposed top tier developer with multiple development teams and over 800 employees.
For ten bucks I can’t really complain. I just want Uncharted remakes, I replayed the trilogy a few days ago and while they’re still pretty fun they are definitely showing their age. Especially Uncharted one, it definitely still feels like a game from 2006. If Naughty Dog can treat tlou like this then I’d like to see some modernization of the Uncharted games too.
@@victor_734 Yeah but the Nathan Drake collection was essentially a remaster for PS4, there’s currently nothing Uncharted for PS5. But the original Last of Us has been remastered for PS4 and PS5. And both were PS3 titles
I absolutely love the Uncharted games, some of my favourites ever. I’ve completed the first one a few times, to me it’s actually part of its charm that it feels very much of its time, a real nostalgia trip.
@@wesleyp3579no original titles sadly but Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy did get a proper PS5 upgrade similar to this one in the Legacy of Thieves collection.
Why? They owe you nothing, $10 is fair considering they had to work on it and the new game mode. Do you work for free? I don't and neither does anybody else. You're just a spoilt entitled brat
New costumes are cool, that new mode looks fun (gameplay was always TLOU2's best feature) and faster loading is nice. $10 isn't that bad either. It's kinda like a "sure why not" kind of purchase. Kinda wish they didn't try to make that standalone Factions game and just focused on bringing the multiplayer back with new maps, modes and cosmetics. How cool would it be if there was a horde mode. Man can only dream...
I hadn’t realized it was just $10 if you already owned it for ps4. I’ll definitely pick this up. I figured it was another full price release like part 1 was. Thanks for the video!
Do you think that Naughty Dog will follow the same road map as Part 1? Example: Release a game at the tail end of the life of the initial console, then re-release the game some time later as a "Remaster" on the next gen console, then a few years later re-release the title in a native next/current gen game?
With their engine/ physics ND should make a splinter cell style stealth game. Sneaking through, silenced heashot.. and the Sniper mission is still my standout in TLOU2
Wish they would make a Manhunt game based off this engine. Imagine how creepy that would be sneaky around low life's, thugs, and serial killers in Carcer City. Having to use real time shadows that change over time so you can't just stay in one spot and hide.
Anyone bitching about the price should not buy it. I don’t care for this so I am not buying but the people who do like last of us this is a great $10 mode. $10 ain’t a lot anymore people. I payed more for my Burger King meal and Burger King ain’t all that
It shows a guy looking like he got kidnapped and nothing more. People always get kidnapped in this type of game. I think anyone complaining about this being a spoiler needs medical help.
I thought that when TLOU Part 1 remake came out and they were charging full game price (even for those who already bought it) that they did us dirty. However, with this one coming out as a $10 upgrade they have redeemed themselves.
i definitely appreciate and respect the ambitious nature of the story telling in TLOU2, but like you I do agree it dragged on too long. The entire final act felt very tacked on. its not a perfect game, and its certainly not as good as the first game, but the first game is also... i mean... a masterpiece so... overall its still a great game in my opinion. having said that, dont know if wanna play it again. lol. the rat king still gives me nightmares.
The only complaint I have about this is that No Return isn't coop. Other than that it's a $10 DLC for NR and a few other small changes. Im looking forward to it. This is far from the most egregious cash grab I have seen labeled as a Remaster or 'Definitive'.
I appreciate the Naughty Dog is doing it as a £10 upgrade. They have done performance balancing and a new mode but wouldn't be worth the £70. People moaned about the TLOU part 1 being full price but to be honest. It does look incredible and they did do a lot of work on it. People could have easily played the remaster but as always. Give me it cheap or free otherwise, i will moan. Have to remember it was for PC as well same as this one is. So it was a double bubble.
TLOU central point is Joel's choice at the end of Part I, so Part III could be about Ellie being on a mission to get a special young boy from point A to point B. It would be a redemption story for her, being put in Joel's shoes. What choice would she take?
Ooooh and then Part 4 could be about Ellie getting her head smashed by a Baseball bat. It would be a redemption story for her, being put in Joel's shoes. Plus it could be an homage to Glenn from the walking dead. What consequences would take place after that? Very very intriguing..... you see the stupidity and repetitiveness of both ideas...... rehash and repeat? Hell no.
@@Protantagonist I get your point. Even though I still like this concept, it wouldn't make the engaging story if people would know it's heading into the similar direction as TLOU1. Ellie trying to find a doc to create a vaccine seems like much better premise.
Not bad for a $10 upgrade (for those like myself that already own the game) considering all of the additions. And I imagine this will capture the attention of the huge influx of new PS5 owners whom I imagine this is mainly targeted towards. Not to mention capitalizing on the success of the TV show. An IQ market play.
Naughty dogs is milking this game , they made 5 games out of 2 games. 5!! The last of us , last of us remastered, last of us remake, last of us 2 and last of us 2 remastered! Unbelievable!
I just played through the PS4 version a month ago and it was already a stunning looking game. Idk if I want to spend the $10 but the game is great. (Story stuff aside) The factions mode alone would've been worth a decent price.
@@tashacunningham7244 Factions, Uncharted Multiplayer, AC3 Multiplayer. The days when AAA games just threw in a multiplayer mode in their games, and they ended up being a really fun and original feeling experience. Well, Tomb Raider's was kinda ass though.
@@doasitellyouu yeah not so keen on some of the other multiplayers u mentioned but I do agree with you u made a very good point there I’d say and yeah I did try tomb raider and like u said it sucked lol
I can recall picking up the original Pt2 from the store: the people behind the counter were applauding (no joke) because I had the longest pre-order in their history. I pre-order the same day as the announcement (watched the Playstation Experience showcase thingy, got off my couch and went to the store) and picked it up on the day it launched. The weirdest thing about all this is that I still have it wrapped in its original cellophane and haven't played it.. Was waiting on the opportunity to play Pt1 and Pt2 back-to-back, but then kids happened. Also still really bummed about the cancelled standalone multiplayer, was hoping to experience that universe with a friend
Love the work you guys do You guys should do a top 10 video of old school games that should be remade/remastered Personally would love to see xenogears redone
Game director gave a nod to Deadcells, Vampire Survivors and Hades as a factor in developing No Return mode. I have close to 10,000 in those 3 games combined. MY LIFE IS OVER TOMORROW.
No return definitely seems fun and appears to be worth the price of admission. Unless youre one of those people who will complain about $10. If you don't have $10 you have far bigger problems then this game.
I feel like the new game modes should have been added to the ps4 version as well. Same goes for games like FF7 remake intergrade. I'm not a fan of this thing they do with adding stuff to the game but not for the system it was released on. Just my personal opinion because I would like to enjoy the extra content for the games that I already own without having to buy a whole new console for it.
Definitely going to check this out on release. Mainly for the No Return and free guitar mode. I agree with you Jake. Story was alright and had some flaws, but the gameplay and combat can be so badass and satisfying.
Thanks for your great reviews, this is the only channel i trust with non-baised, honest, non-spoiler reviews. Ofc I have played this game before but can't wait for a replay and to check out the rouge like mode.
I bought the last of us part 2 a year ago for 10 bucks but never beat it because I got busy and this is definitely a reason to replay all the way through
Bought this game on ps4 for around 10 dollars during 2022's Halloween sale. I felt the story to be too slow and soulless. I thought the critics were too harsh during the release. But it is really a stab in the heart for people who loved the first part.
the new mode is a lot of fun
Cool

Just remember guys. Santamonica Studio gave out GOW Valhalla DLC for *FREE*... Let that sink in.
This no return mode makes the $10 I will have to pay be more than worth it. All the added visual and performance boosts are just icing on the cake.
I really like the idea of the no return mode. Because honestly - I had more fun with god of war valhalla than I had with ragnarok. Great addition
You people are weird as fuck. But go off I guess.
Why is a remaster a thing? Did it come out like a couple of years ago?
Good question, also no one liked this game
@@yeyeman6569ah yeah, that’s why it sold so much, because no one liked it.
@@RemixerUltimate It sold well BEFORE people actually played it. I think though if they moved scenes around into a more chronological order it would have made the game less of a shock factor.
What's next? Last of us collection? Director's cut? Kart racing?
No, golf simulator. Starring Abby.
Unless Joel comes back from the dead, I’m not interested.
Leave it to TLOU fans to complain about an optional upgrade with new modes and content for only $10.
The original game got a remaster at full price with less new content just a few months after the original ps3 release. This has been 3.5 years and people act like they’re being swindled.
This game seriously didn’t need remastered. 😭 it came out 4 years ago damn, it already looks absolutely stunning. It seems like Naughty dog only remakes their old games instead of making new ones anymore. Lmaoo they redid the last of us 1, twice.
Shame they didn't think to remake their Jak and Daxter games for modern consoles, that would be remakes or remasters that I would be all for.
At this point the amount of remasters they keep doing for part 1 and 2 stops me from playing either of the games. Wake me up when Naughty Dogs get tired and decide to remaster Jak and Daxter
Right?
Naughty Dog has only put out one original game in the last 6 years. That’s pretty lousy for a supposed top tier developer with multiple development teams and over 800 employees.
For ten bucks I can’t really complain. I just want Uncharted remakes, I replayed the trilogy a few days ago and while they’re still pretty fun they are definitely showing their age. Especially Uncharted one, it definitely still feels like a game from 2006. If Naughty Dog can treat tlou like this then I’d like to see some modernization of the Uncharted games too.
They already rereleased those in the Nathan Drake collection so I don’t really see that happening
@@victor_734 Yeah but the Nathan Drake collection was essentially a remaster for PS4, there’s currently nothing Uncharted for PS5. But the original Last of Us has been remastered for PS4 and PS5. And both were PS3 titles
@@wesleyp3579Uncharted is older. Wait for PS6 at least goddam
I absolutely love the Uncharted games, some of my favourites ever. I’ve completed the first one a few times, to me it’s actually part of its charm that it feels very much of its time, a real nostalgia trip.
@@wesleyp3579no original titles sadly but Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy did get a proper PS5 upgrade similar to this one in the Legacy of Thieves collection.
$10 is nothing compared to what Call of duty did for the most recent cod dlc. They charged $70 for a DLC
the cancelled multiplayer still hurts. should've made this a free upgrade because of it.
Why? They owe you nothing, $10 is fair considering they had to work on it and the new game mode. Do you work for free? I don't and neither does anybody else. You're just a spoilt entitled brat
New costumes are cool, that new mode looks fun (gameplay was always TLOU2's best feature) and faster loading is nice. $10 isn't that bad either. It's kinda like a "sure why not" kind of purchase. Kinda wish they didn't try to make that standalone Factions game and just focused on bringing the multiplayer back with new maps, modes and cosmetics. How cool would it be if there was a horde mode.
Man can only dream...
*1 Like = 1 Pushup* 😙😉
Buy. Subed
I hadn’t realized it was just $10 if you already owned it for ps4. I’ll definitely pick this up. I figured it was another full price release like part 1 was. Thanks for the video!
Rockstar should learn from Naughtydog
“Only” lol. 10 dollars for nothing
@@MrIgorlubenski10 dollars for native 4K and lower load times. Is worth it. Looks incredible on my OLED
@@MrIgorlubenskithe new mode is worth it alone
Baa 🐑
i really hope they release this version of *TLOU2* for *PC* soon, now that we already have *Part 1.*
Probably end of the year or next year
The most unnecessary (too soon) remaster in history of gaming.
TLOU1 was 'remastered' much quicker.
It's a directors cut more than anything. For $10, I'm not complaining
Do you think that Naughty Dog will follow the same road map as Part 1?
Example: Release a game at the tail end of the life of the initial console, then re-release the game some time later as a "Remaster" on the next gen console, then a few years later re-release the title in a native next/current gen game?
maximum milking, minimum effort
@@lukelmaoooooThat’s pretty much been Naughty Dogs modus operandi since Neil Druckmann and Evan Wells took over. Low effort, reductive output.
Why didn't he mention the added levels?
Naughty Dog's output this gen has been two remasters, a remake of a remaster, and a cancelled game.
Not long enough to get a remaster. They should move on to making New games instead of milking their fans dry with the same title
Will be fun to play on fidelity with framerate unlocked and vrr on
Need that PC version
So do I but hopefully it works at launch this time 😭
To be honest, the remastered is absolutly no need.
THIS VIDEO IS NOT 100% spoiler free
At this rate, we'll get TLOU 3 Remastered before the initial release.
With their engine/ physics ND should make a splinter cell style stealth game. Sneaking through, silenced heashot.. and the Sniper mission is still my standout in TLOU2
My favorite stealth game of all time. The original trilogy is a masterpiece. I’d be happy with getting ports on modern consoles
Wish they would make a Manhunt game based off this engine. Imagine how creepy that would be sneaky around low life's, thugs, and serial killers in Carcer City. Having to use real time shadows that change over time so you can't just stay in one spot and hide.
NO FAKKING THANKS! TO BUYING THIS 😂
will play just to see joel again and change my mood to you know what!!
Anyone bitching about the price should not buy it. I don’t care for this so I am not buying but the people who do like last of us this is a great $10 mode. $10 ain’t a lot anymore people. I payed more for my Burger King meal and Burger King ain’t all that
It was $10 because I already had the original. I think that’s extremely justified because now I’ll be able to play it with my 4k 120 hz monitor :)
Am I the only person who spent the entire game finding fun ways to launch Abby off of Cliffs or get killed by Zombies?
Oh yeah! It was the only way I could get through abbys part of the game.
yeah it was fun
For people who haven't played the game, there are spoilers at 6:38 - 7:05.
I mean not really. Doesn't show what happens and it's very early game.
The only spoiler is drawing attention to something as important that appears fairly inconsequential
@@BenThomson-s2w It still looks like a major plot point regardless if you've seen the scene or not
Pretty Sure Everyone Knows That Scene By Now It What Got This Game A Boost In Traction
It shows a guy looking like he got kidnapped and nothing more. People always get kidnapped in this type of game. I think anyone complaining about this being a spoiler needs medical help.
Must be $10 in the US if you already have the game. I'm down under and i paid $15. But doesn't worry me, I'm more then obsessed with this game 😂
I thought that when TLOU Part 1 remake came out and they were charging full game price (even for those who already bought it) that they did us dirty. However, with this one coming out as a $10 upgrade they have redeemed themselves.
10$ for an upgrade isn’t too bad
Should b free
It's a great deal
@@OffixialGem10 bucks lmao your getting plenty
@@MegaNomad13just stop your the reason gamers are getting taken advantage of us
@@MegaNomad13gowr give us a free dlc with a lot more content then last of us 2 remastered
Love me some TLoU, can’t see myself getting the upgrade. It’s a story game for me and once I’ve experienced the story I’m done basically.
Experiencing the second time with new eyes. Is fun also plus stuff you'll forget
i definitely appreciate and respect the ambitious nature of the story telling in TLOU2, but like you I do agree it dragged on too long. The entire final act felt very tacked on. its not a perfect game, and its certainly not as good as the first game, but the first game is also... i mean... a masterpiece so... overall its still a great game in my opinion. having said that, dont know if wanna play it again. lol. the rat king still gives me nightmares.
3-5 hours less and it could be a master piece
> Ambitious
Lmaooo
Yep remove the last act really and end it with Ellie heading off to decide what to do next and it would be solid.
@@jonnyc429 for me, remoce a lot of filler i the traversal and it's OK
@@Flash36593im a massive critisiser of tlou 2 but how is it not ambitious?
The only complaint I have about this is that No Return isn't coop. Other than that it's a $10 DLC for NR and a few other small changes.
Im looking forward to it. This is far from the most egregious cash grab I have seen labeled as a Remaster or 'Definitive'.
I appreciate the Naughty Dog is doing it as a £10 upgrade. They have done performance balancing and a new mode but wouldn't be worth the £70. People moaned about the TLOU part 1 being full price but to be honest. It does look incredible and they did do a lot of work on it. People could have easily played the remaster but as always. Give me it cheap or free otherwise, i will moan. Have to remember it was for PC as well same as this one is. So it was a double bubble.
I'm treating it as a DLC to one of my favorite games of all time, so $10 for that + some minor visual upgrades is fair imo.
That’s how it should be for remasters
I’m looking at you Nintendo
TLOU central point is Joel's choice at the end of Part I, so Part III could be about Ellie being on a mission to get a special young boy from point A to point B. It would be a redemption story for her, being put in Joel's shoes. What choice would she take?
I love this
Ooooh and then Part 4 could be about Ellie getting her head smashed by a Baseball bat. It would be a redemption story for her, being put in Joel's shoes. Plus it could be an homage to Glenn from the walking dead. What consequences would take place after that? Very very intriguing.....
you see the stupidity and repetitiveness of both ideas...... rehash and repeat? Hell no.
I'm thinking part 3 will be about finding Dina and Dina's son. Then Ellie going in for the cure to end the game. And series.
@@Protantagonist I get your point. Even though I still like this concept, it wouldn't make the engaging story if people would know it's heading into the similar direction as TLOU1. Ellie trying to find a doc to create a vaccine seems like much better premise.
Gotta say, TLOU2 has some of the best controls, combat, and combat scenarios ever
This is not spoiler free, you showed the part where you play as abbie
How many times are they going to remaster these games..
Fun fact: There are now more TLOU remasters (3) than there are TLOU games (2).
Not bad for a $10 upgrade (for those like myself that already own the game) considering all of the additions. And I imagine this will capture the attention of the huge influx of new PS5 owners whom I imagine this is mainly targeted towards. Not to mention capitalizing on the success of the TV show. An IQ market play.
“all of the additions” you’re the problem

Naughty dogs is milking this game , they made 5 games out of 2 games. 5!! The last of us , last of us remastered, last of us remake, last of us 2 and last of us 2 remastered! Unbelievable!
I just played through the PS4 version a month ago and it was already a stunning looking game. Idk if I want to spend the $10 but the game is great. (Story stuff aside) The factions mode alone would've been worth a decent price.
Yes guess u played the first one multiplayer man I had some good old times on that game defo one of the better multiplayers out there
Don't waste your money
@@tashacunningham7244 Factions, Uncharted Multiplayer, AC3 Multiplayer. The days when AAA games just threw in a multiplayer mode in their games, and they ended up being a really fun and original feeling experience. Well, Tomb Raider's was kinda ass though.
@@doasitellyouu yeah not so keen on some of the other multiplayers u mentioned but I do agree with you u made a very good point there I’d say and yeah I did try tomb raider and like u said it sucked lol
Not worth it. Paying 10 bucks just for that faction mode is not worth at all. Naughty Dog should have make it free.
I can recall picking up the original Pt2 from the store: the people behind the counter were applauding (no joke) because I had the longest pre-order in their history. I pre-order the same day as the announcement (watched the Playstation Experience showcase thingy, got off my couch and went to the store) and picked it up on the day it launched. The weirdest thing about all this is that I still have it wrapped in its original cellophane and haven't played it.. Was waiting on the opportunity to play Pt1 and Pt2 back-to-back, but then kids happened.
Also still really bummed about the cancelled standalone multiplayer, was hoping to experience that universe with a friend
and then everyone clapped
Abby's cheeks clapped @@nicorobin7762
@@nicorobin7762that was already a part of the story ya silly goose
The multi player was REALLY really fun ngl. I'm so ashamed they won't bring it back. It was amazing for tactics and group play, but never too real
good paypig, buy a product without reviews and never play it
Love the work you guys do
You guys should do a top 10 video of old school games that should be remade/remastered
Personally would love to see xenogears redone
Game director gave a nod to Deadcells, Vampire Survivors and Hades as a factor in developing No Return mode. I have close to 10,000 in those 3 games combined. MY LIFE IS OVER TOMORROW.
Oof the big swings pun hurts at 8:35
Giving a like to support the channel. The game... eh
I liked your comment because, it's true
Been holding off to play TLOU2 until a PS5 upgrade. Aware of the spoilers but looking forward to playing it.
You are the lucky one, enjoy mate👌
You’re in for a ride, brother. Probably impossible at this point, but it’s best to go in as blind as possible.
I envy you, would do it all over again. Enjoy!
No return definitely seems fun and appears to be worth the price of admission. Unless youre one of those people who will complain about $10. If you don't have $10 you have far bigger problems then this game.
I feel like the new game modes should have been added to the ps4 version as well. Same goes for games like FF7 remake intergrade. I'm not a fan of this thing they do with adding stuff to the game but not for the system it was released on. Just my personal opinion because I would like to enjoy the extra content for the games that I already own without having to buy a whole new console for it.
Valhalla DLC for GOW released on both systems for free, just a reminder

Definitely going to check this out on release. Mainly for the No Return and free guitar mode. I agree with you Jake. Story was alright and had some flaws, but the gameplay and combat can be so badass and satisfying.
playing this game on grounded was one of the best, better than any souls game
If they advertised this as a Definitive Edition or even just a $10 dlc (which it pretty much is) I feel like there’d be a lot less complaining.
Despite having never finished either game in the series, I've managed to buy every version of these games, on every platform.... what is wrong with me
Thanks for your great reviews, this is the only channel i trust with non-baised, honest, non-spoiler reviews. Ofc I have played this game before but can't wait for a replay and to check out the rouge like mode.
I bought the last of us part 2 a year ago for 10 bucks but never beat it because I got busy and this is definitely a reason to replay all the way through
Well worth the $10 upgrade
If you ignore the hate train people, this game is actually very brutal and awesome 💀
This should have been a free content patch considering the limited differences between the PS5 patched version and this.
Bought this game on ps4 for around 10 dollars during 2022's Halloween sale. I felt the story to be too slow and soulless. I thought the critics were too harsh during the release. But it is really a stab in the heart for people who loved the first part.
100% agree
Yea Neil Uckmann has 0 creativity.
