Yes... 1 year. The exact amount of time for a proper ps5 remaster. With the 5.5GBs nvme and 10GB memory for games, the ps5 is only 2x more powerful than a ps4, and all the devs could do was unlocking the 60fps ? Come on ... Wasn't there at least enough power left to grab the texture compression slider, and reduce the overall compression, so the overall graphics look sharper ? The reason why they only released a crappy 60fps patch , without messing with the graphics is.... they will later release a proper Tlou2 ps5 remaster, like they did with Tlou1 on ps3/ps4.
I'm glad this generation is officially making the jump and targeting 60fps, or at least giving us the option to do so. I will take a game at 1440p/60fps *any day* over native 4k/30fps.
What I'm still so struck by is the animation work in this game. ND really are head and shoulders above most of the industry in the fidelity and quality of their character animations. So many beautiful bespoke touches during gameplay that help sell the tangibility of the world.

Indeed. All subjective opinions of the story aside... There is no denying that this is one of the best ever designed games. From Audio the overall level and game design. Animation etc. It's a sensation to experience. So getting to now play it in 60fps. Can't wait.

I'm glad you pointed out the audio design. Even on stereo, it's detailed enough to the point where Survival and Grounded players can use it to locate enemies. Sound was actually the most impressive aspect for me personally, and it's one that I never gave much thought before playing Part II.

@@alansmith4655 I loved playing encounters in game+ mode with all weapons unlocked and unlimited ammo cheat just to have fun with the game's systems such as unlimited explosive arrows. However, I just started doing a new playthrough on grounded+ mode which doesn't allow any cheats and resources are extremely limited. Boy it ramps up the tension in the game so much more.

Horizon at 60 would be AMAZING! I don’t have a PC, so Hopefully they release an unlocked patch. I really hope they do that for Red Dead Redemption 2 as well!
@facts overmarxism shush. I hate the story and I will still confidently say its an amazing game cos it is. The gameplay is great the graphics are unreal and the set pieces top notch its just a shit story for a sequel
Johns a total waste of space. Guys been caught out loads of times lying about console pixel counts. Hes an elitist pc user who makes things up. The guys a piece of work who someone should consider sticking a blade in.
AND its on the last gen console as well naughty dog is good at optimizing games with visual prowess to impress although the story for me is a meh. But the game itself the gameplay the gunplay the mechanics and the visuals is just top notch
the game mechanic is so well done that it makes all the other game i've played before feel wonky, other naughty dog's game included... the way the character dives on the ground, or fall on the back after being hit by a bullet then aim one handed... this game is an absolute masterpiece
Never been immersed into a world like this game. This post pandemic world, the cities, the suburbs, the country and woods in different seasons, simply amazing. Waited for ps5 release to start playing on my oled gx. Honestly didn't notice I was playing at 30 fps this whole time.
I can't wait to find out, I don't think we'll truly understand the console's full potential until devs like ND and Rockstar start making current gen exclusives
@facts overmarxism have you played the game? It's combat is fun and can be played many different ways, you can even paint the ground or walls with blood, use people or infected as shields and attract clickers to them, the gameplay is top notch.
It is somehow a bit controversial, but it has one of the greatest video games history ever made and if you’re too sensitive I warn you that is going to break your heart multiple times
Dont care what anybody says one of the best games i have ever played and from a technical standpoint it was mindblowing on ps4. Best looking game i have ever seen on console with RDR2
Yeah! I agree with this. Everything outside of its story is so well done. I enjoyed all of that! I really loved the Open Linear sections on your horse. Really impressive stuff.
I dont know if I'd say it's the best game I've ever played but its definitely up there. It was an incredible game, especially visually. The combat was extremely satisfying as well. Headshots felt powerful
I was really bummed when I realized I had to wait a while to see a video from DF on this update if ever and this pops up right away! You people are awesome, truly
One of the most beautiful details in the game for me, is how the light bounces off the iris in the characters eyes. That looks just like in real life and it's the first game ever to do this. This adds SO MUCH life to the characters. Can't wait to see a TLOU 1 Remake und TLOU 2 Remaster for PS5, hopefully with Raytracing.
@@sirmustardofhousemayonnais9907 aside from it's flooded plot and sometimes shitty script it's actually pretty fucking amazing especially from a technical and gameplay standpoint.

This makes me wonder how games running on 30 fps will look like from developers like Naughty Dog, Rockstar, Santa Monica Studios, etc. The future of this generation is gonna be as close as it gets to photorealistic graphics, I hope.
Great job as always. Just some feedback: I would appreciate if you include the base PS4 when talking about frames, resolution and loading times comparisons, since most of us came from the original PS4 to PS5. I know in this particular case the framerate was solid on base PS4 too but for future comparisons it would be great. Keep it up!
Thank you for continuing to analyze/acknowledge great sound in games. This is an important aspect of gaming, and most outlets just completely ignore it.
@@helloguy8934 Usually 30fps looks pretty bad, but TLoU2 on PS4 Pro made the 30fps really smooth, not choppy. Might've been the motion blur too. Whatever they did they made 30fps feel like 60fps really well.
Knew it was coming eventually but hadn't heard anything about timing. What nice surprise tho, I just downloaded the game to replay this weekend. Perfect timing!
Best channel ever. Gonna replay TLOU 2 on ps5 when im done with Mass Effect Legendary. TLOU 2 is my favorite game of last year. One of the most impressive games I've ever played. Keep up the good work.
@@headtaker02 You might want to take another look at the list of fps boost games because pointing out "indie" and 5 year old battlefield games is WAY off base. I'm not a fanboy of any plastic "box", but I'll call the fanboys out when I see them... like you.
I just started playing TLOU 2 for the first time ever on my PS5 after waiting for months thinking they won't release a patch anytime soon. Boy I am so lucky!
God speed sir, I've been waiting since I beat it in August for grounded/ps5 patch and oh so happily I got this news. Only to be absolutely jackhammer by that difficulty lmao
This is a really beautiful video. Many of the most visually striking scenes of the game are in the later Abby sections that couldn't be shown in the initial reviews, and I'm glad you've gotten the opportunity to highlight them here.
To be honest they might be able to bump up the resolution as well on U4 while maintaining 60fps. As amazing as U4 is, LoU Pt. II is still technically much more impressive, which gives me hope that they could add more than just a 60fps patch for the game. They should do the same for Lost Legacy and I might finally play through the whole thing. 😂
I am never tired of hearing about this game. It looks so absolutely amazing and what a great adventure. I just cant wait to get my hands on a PS5 to replay it again.
So many ps4 disc games with the free ps5 patch it makes the games like new . Try Mass Effect 1,2 and 3 at 4k/60fps and Horizon Zero Dawn at 4k/60. It is awesome. All with faster loading times as a bonus .
the sad part is that many PS4 games don't have a PS5 patch, but a payed license to upgrade your PS4 version to a PS5 version. That's playing dirty even for Sony at this rate.
I waited until the part 2 released to even play the first 1. Both those games back to back was AMAZING. I’ve been saving my second play through on grounded for this exact moment. 60fps 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Considering I've only played TLOU2 at release on my PS4 Slim before getting my PS5 last November, this is going to be a whole new experience in 4K 60FPS :D I've wanted to replay this and finish my Platinum but I've specifically waited for this update to do so and I'm so excited! I can't wait for the HZD patch whenever that'll be.
This game was a technical masterpiece. When I played on PS4 I was in awe but felt the gameplay was held back by the frame-rate but now with this patch for PS5 it's perfect regardless if you agreed with the storyline or not. I'm glad John pointed out the audio too as that was so impressive in this game. Well done Naughty Dog.

Naughty Dog is a whole 'nother league when it comes to the technical side of video games. I can't wait to see what they do with a proper PS5 title.
A game so good that John’s review of the PS5 frame rate upgrade quickly evolves into somewhat of an ode.
@facts overmarxism shush. I hate the story and I will still confidently say its an amazing game cos it is. The gameplay is great the graphics are unreal and the set pieces top notch its just a shit story for a sequel
@@jordanaslam7062 i agree
Johns a total waste of space. Guys been caught out loads of times lying about console pixel counts. Hes an elitist pc user who makes things up. The guys a piece of work who someone should consider sticking a blade in.

I forget how goddamn beautiful this game looks......
Brown and dark green is only colors thou...
@@Deep_wolf doesnt matter it still looks amazing
@@Deep_wolf realistic colours, there's no artificial light in this game, only natural.
Forgot how bad the story is
@Jesus Wept I don't think u have played ps3 games.....
2:14 omg the lighting at the motel. I've never seen sunlight look so realistic and good in a game
Days Gone has good lighting as well.
AND its on the last gen console as well naughty dog is good at optimizing games with visual prowess to impress although the story for me is a meh. But the game itself the gameplay the gunplay the mechanics and the visuals is just top notch
RDR2 surpasses it imo.
@@Miha-ii3dy i agree, but the gameplay mechanics are so much better in tlou 2
@@Miha-ii3dy since when did we started comparing games?
The point is nobody asked.
But if that is your opinion
then thats nice.
the game mechanic is so well done that it makes all the other game i've played before feel wonky, other naughty dog's game included... the way the character dives on the ground, or fall on the back after being hit by a bullet then aim one handed... this game is an absolute masterpiece
Never been immersed into a world like this game. This post pandemic world, the cities, the suburbs, the country and woods in different seasons, simply amazing. Waited for ps5 release to start playing on my oled gx. Honestly didn't notice I was playing at 30 fps this whole time.
It has great motion blur at 30fps with minimal drops as DF says.
@@fenixa2z936 the motion blur and elite anti aliasing solution make almost feel 45fps. They really squeezed everything out of the ps4
Such a beautiful game. Wonder what Naughty Dog will be able to do with the ps5 hardware.
I can't wait to find out, I don't think we'll truly understand the console's full potential until devs like ND and Rockstar start making current gen exclusives
@facts overmarxism do you work for Microsoft or Ben Shapiro?
@facts overmarxism Nobody asked.
@facts overmarxism grammar has left the chat
@facts overmarxism have you played the game? It's combat is fun and can be played many different ways, you can even paint the ground or walls with blood, use people or infected as shields and attract clickers to them, the gameplay is top notch.
Yes someone mentioned the incredible audio! Best and most impactful gunshot sounds (and everything else really) I've heard in a game.
Been waiting on the for a while. Haven't played it yet in hopes they'd give us 60fps. Looks like i knew what game I'm playing next
Keep an open mind. It has some controversial moments but it’s a masterpiece.
Patience pays out, great job m8
It is somehow a bit controversial, but it has one of the greatest video games history ever made and if you’re too sensitive I warn you that is going to break your heart multiple times

Dont care what anybody says one of the best games i have ever played and from a technical standpoint it was mindblowing on ps4. Best looking game i have ever seen on console with RDR2
😑
Yeah! I agree with this. Everything outside of its story is so well done. I enjoyed all of that! I really loved the Open Linear sections on your horse. Really impressive stuff.
Game sucks gameplay is repetitive story is garbage characters are unlikeable. Visuals are amazing tho
@@powerfulweeb3163 I did get tired of opening draws slowly. It's gameplay isn't to repetitive though. Just pacing is off.
@@jeanlepage4264 Name 1 other game that's more impressive from a technical standpoint, just so we can all point and laugh at you
Best game I've ever played.TLOU 1 & 2 comprise masterpiece storytelling, visuals, gameplay mechanics, & atmospheric immersion.
Naughty dog is GOAT
I dont know if I'd say it's the best game I've ever played but its definitely up there. It was an incredible game, especially visually. The combat was extremely satisfying as well. Headshots felt powerful
🥂
Me too
Storytelling of TLOU is really disapointing wtf, and im ataking about Storytelling not writing
Man I’ve been waiting on this. Perfect timing with the upcoming sale event!
Edit: I believe the sale starts May 26th
Whens the sale event?
When the sale I missed the first one when it was 30$
What sales event is this?
@@Onnethox May 26. Days of play sale.
Probably won’t go on sale itself though
Bless you John for mentioning Gravity Rush 2. A 60fps patch for that game would be superb.
Already a technical marvel, now with 99.9% stable 60fps, TLOU II is a joy to control and traverse.
I was really bummed when I realized I had to wait a while to see a video from DF on this update if ever and this pops up right away! You people are awesome, truly
Sweet! Been holding off playing this game since December.
You in for a long wild emotional time 👍🏾
So, when is the patch coming?
I just recently downloaded and playing on ps5 second time. I could wait if it is coming soon
@@murattyngo Its available now 😊
You held off playing for a possible patch?
TLOU 1 & 2 are absolutely stunning games! Experiences that I will always cherish in my memory!
And experiences that will always keep me depressed, lol.
One of the most beautiful details in the game for me, is how the light bounces off the iris in the characters eyes. That looks just like in real life and it's the first game ever to do this. This adds SO MUCH life to the characters. Can't wait to see a TLOU 1 Remake und TLOU 2 Remaster for PS5, hopefully with Raytracing.
Would definitely replay again when I get a PS5, wish I could forget about the story so I could feel the story again, beautiful portrayal of grief.
Same.
I would love to play this for the first time again in 60
This game in my top 3 of all time. Just phenomenal
Damn fast upload. Impressive, especially bc of how detailed your impression was
Proof that Sony does secrets with them too.
Really hope the Uncharted games can get a patch.
uncharted is crap
Finally. Time for that second play through. Thank you, ND.
Why the game is garbage
time to get depression again, this time with my ps5 lol

I platinum this Game, Ghost, Spider-Man last year during the pandemic. Enjoyed every moment.
same routine ... such a great year for games for being sich a shitty year.
This makes me wonder how games running on 30 fps will look like from developers like Naughty Dog, Rockstar, Santa Monica Studios, etc. The future of this generation is gonna be as close as it gets to photorealistic graphics, I hope.
I wish I could have a chance to buy ps5 to play through* the game again but with solid 60 fps.

@@fawkesnake Ah, I see
Great job as always. Just some feedback: I would appreciate if you include the base PS4 when talking about frames, resolution and loading times comparisons, since most of us came from the original PS4 to PS5. I know in this particular case the framerate was solid on base PS4 too but for future comparisons it would be great. Keep it up!
Hey ND, big thank you for this patch. Now pleeeeaase do the U4 and TLL patch. I love you:)
Thank you for continuing to analyze/acknowledge great sound in games. This is an important aspect of gaming, and most outlets just completely ignore it.
Which makes it even more tragic 😔when some gamers are deaf or close enough.
This game is a technical masterpiece. It's like the Sistine chapel of games.
JF I agree completely, it’s a stunning masterpiece in every single way 👍🏼
idk man re8 looks undoubtedly better. Animation wise tho this game definitely beats it
everything except story
@@ghettochungus1769 i dunno man im still thinking about this game story till this day. Powerful fuccing ending.
@@MajinRose17 agreed, ending had me feeling empty for so long i couldnt think about anything else - i loved it
Seeing this game in 60fps makes me realise how good the v-sync was for 30fps on the PS4 Pro
V sync? I don't understand what you mean. The ps5 version is also using v sync.
@@helloguy8934 Usually 30fps looks pretty bad, but TLoU2 on PS4 Pro made the 30fps really smooth, not choppy. Might've been the motion blur too. Whatever they did they made 30fps feel like 60fps really well.
Is this a joke? For v-sync to work on 30fps, you would actually need a 30Hz display. V-Sync helps sync those frequencies.
Knew it was coming eventually but hadn't heard anything about timing. What nice surprise tho, I just downloaded the game to replay this weekend. Perfect timing!
Your appreciation for the craft is truly wholesome, love your content
Best channel ever. Gonna replay TLOU 2 on ps5 when im done with Mass Effect Legendary. TLOU 2 is my favorite game of last year. One of the most impressive games I've ever played. Keep up the good work.
Thank you. Finally.
Holy shit yes. This was unexpected.
Sad to see when xbox is getting tons of boosted games your most popular you don't think would get one

@@headtaker02 You might want to take another look at the list of fps boost games because pointing out "indie" and 5 year old battlefield games is WAY off base. I'm not a fanboy of any plastic "box", but I'll call the fanboys out when I see them... like you.

This is a really beautiful video. Many of the most visually striking scenes of the game are in the later Abby sections that couldn't be shown in the initial reviews, and I'm glad you've gotten the opportunity to highlight them here.
Kinda crazy how the two best looking games (RDR2 and TLOU2) are both last gen games without proper next gen updates.
the last of us pt 1 remake actually looks better then its sequel now.
@@lsmithcine2137 true man
This game was a masterpiece & it was programmed for PS4/Pro. I will play it on my PS5.
Somehow managed to order a PS5 last Monday. Boy what a time to get it !
I can't wait to replay it finally! I have been waiting for this for so long!
This is the coolest, best, most exciting news I got in a while
same here, I didn't see this coming, I completed it initially on regular ps4, now I have installed it in my ps5 and just wow
amazing video as always, great info about the fps drop, good to know you found it and it's just the once
If they do the same thing with uc 4 the game will finally run like the first in-engine trailer
To be honest they might be able to bump up the resolution as well on U4 while maintaining 60fps.
As amazing as U4 is, LoU Pt. II is still technically much more impressive, which gives me hope that they could add more than just a 60fps patch for the game. They should do the same for Lost Legacy and I might finally play through the whole thing. 😂
I played it in virtually 60fps because of my tv settings and It looked amazing.
I’ve been putting off playing this game- I think now is the time to start a play through.
You should, it's incredible
Dude it’s the greatest game of all time in my opinion.

I loved these games. As soon as I finish Ghosts of Tsushima, I'm going through Part 1 and 2 again.
I am never tired of hearing about this game. It looks so absolutely amazing and what a great adventure. I just cant wait to get my hands on a PS5 to replay it again.
Indeed, it's good af
Damn this games engine is truly insane, as well as the talent behind it.
nope.....its lame/scripted/invisible walls
I first played this on the PS4 Slim and it was phenomenal.
So many ps4 disc games with the free ps5 patch it makes the games like new .
Try Mass Effect 1,2 and 3 at 4k/60fps and Horizon Zero Dawn at 4k/60. It is awesome.
All with faster loading times as a bonus .
the sad part is that many PS4 games don't have a PS5 patch, but a payed license to upgrade your PS4 version to a PS5 version.
That's playing dirty even for Sony at this rate.
@@DJordydj 155 ps4 games have the free 4k/60 fps patch for the ps5 so far .
The moment has finally arrived! I am so glad I haven't played this game yet, I will get a hell of a first impression.
I waited until the part 2 released to even play the first 1. Both those games back to back was AMAZING. I’ve been saving my second play through on grounded for this exact moment. 60fps 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Enjoy mate, awesome game! 👍

I can't wait for the HZD patch whenever that'll be.
Really appreciate the time taken to show off the audio.
This game was a technical masterpiece. When I played on PS4 I was in awe but felt the gameplay was held back by the frame-rate but now with this patch for PS5 it's perfect regardless if you agreed with the storyline or not. I'm glad John pointed out the audio too as that was so impressive in this game. Well done Naughty Dog.
