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
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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!

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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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...
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.
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?
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
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!
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
This game looks absolutely phenomenal, and I cannot wait to play it. But $70 is kind of insane, considering that this is a remaster and doesn't even have Factions Multiplayer as the original did. I'll definitely get this when it goes on sale.
@@RyanN05 Not at all... Remasters are like those HD Collections of Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, etc. Remakes are like Crash Bandicoot N' Sane Trilogy, Spyro, etc. Reimagines/reboots are things like FFVIIR, Resident Evil 2, etc.
@@All_Ice117 The game doesn't introduce any real new features aside from the accessibility updates, which don't impact gameplay for most players. I like the game, but at its base, it is a graphics update. This is not a "remake" it isn't fundamentally different in any way, shape, or form.
This is my favorite game of all time, it’s literally perfect in my eyes. I’ve played it so many times and I was so excited to see that it was coming to ps5. The upgrades really do look “next gen” but the price really just kills it for me. I’m looking forward to getting the game when it goes on sale for like 20-30$
@@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 !

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.
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 🙏
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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 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
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.
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.

Felt like a true survivor in a hellish dystopia lol.
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.
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!
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.
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 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
I was thinking on getting this game bc of how much people loved the first game, but I just don’t see the fun of it? What’s the replay value? Do people just like this game bc of the story ? Is it like GOW ragnarok where you get to explore and find areas ?
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.
Waited for the sale, already bought TLOU1-2 both physical and digital copies. Beat them on grounded multiple times. Just buying now to have them. Will play again lol
You read my mind.. I’m thinking if it’s a game you really like it’s always good to have a backup copy I’d say one physical and one digital.. Although I’m not the greatest player of LOU I still am a fan.. So maybe I will pick this up digitally on ps5 even owning the original masterpiece physical on ps3..
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!
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 😉
I think 29.99 is a great price point for this game. It should have been that for launch. I guarantee almost everyone that doesn’t want to pay 70 will be willing to grab it at that price. This game deserves some money for the work it has poured into the visuals and feel, but 70 will drive most people further away imo. It’s up to us as consumers to drive the market into our favor by practicing patience and not succumb to peer pressure while these game companies make profit off our ignorance.
See this is why we can't have nice things people want them for free basically. There's a lot to consider, but def not $30 lmao maybe $50 would be acceptable
@@dannydamico-y8t I suppose my advertising degree would argue that a 50 dollar price point is a pricing psychology nightmare in the video game industry. That price point would sell less then either the 69.99 price point or my suggested 29.99 for a remake with a pre built game engine. Clear reason is the price point suggests it’s neither worth "new game” price point of 69.99 but it’s better then a 29.99 price point of a pre used game engine. No game company would use this model and customers would not be as keen either.
$40 maybe $50 and I bet the sales would double or triple from release. Especially with very limited selection for true PS5 games being released right now. This is arguably the biggest release yet for PS5 (even though it's a "PS3" game), until God of War Ragnarok later this year. And great point that, we the consumers, must dictate the prices of these games. Blows my mind to see special editions releasing for $120-$150. Remember the old days of PS Hits for $20? Those was some good times back then...
I have the PS3/PS4 version of TLOU. I've played for some hours but haven't finished the game because I wanted to get the experience with the remake. So, yesterday, I bought the remake, and I'm so excited to play it!
@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 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.
I’ve never played the last of us. Recently picked up a ps5 but I’m holding off until it drops in price a bit. Definitely looking forward to eventually playing it but for now I’ve just been watching theradbrad play it. Once I get more storage for my ps5 cuz it only came with a measly 500gb I’ll def pick it up and play the hell out of it haha. Love the content man thanks for the video. You just got a like and a new subscriber👍
I like the game but I’m stuck in the original version of it at the high school fighting that boss. I’ve gotten past him before but it seems for some reason I cannot get past him now. I am thinking of playing the remake but is it really worth getting when the games only been out for a few years??
For some reason the original release was off my radar, but I played it years later as the remastered edition on PS4. I never finished the game, probably because I was playing many other games at the time, mostly online. But I remember this game having one of the best intros, it is probably still my favourite intro to a video game. I am a sucker for zombie games, with Left 4 Dead 2 being my favourite game until the day I die. I might have to buy this edition on PC so that I can finally finish it, and play the DLC.
Always has been in the top 5 best games of all time. This is simply amazing on PS5, so much better than the 2014 remaster on PS4. I agree that it's too expensive though, should be £40 max. It's definitely a must own though. Just wish they added more guns and the dodge manoeuvre aswel as go prone. Not bothered by the no multiplayer mode at all, for me this should only be single player story and I don't play multiplayer anyway, on any game period.
I'm glad you enjoy the remaster! I loved it as well when it first dropped, but the multi-player, was genuinely, incredibly fun. It felt like you were playing the game, but harder, with 2 teammates to revive. If you played it, and made a squad, it was incredibly fun, and something about the community in certain games just shines, especially since there was NO TRADING or any kind of bs manipulation involved in its MP. It was very enjoyable! If you have a ps3 still and the original game, if it's still available, I'd highly recommend playing the MP lol!
@@tomguglielmo9805 I had it on PS3 n loved it, masterpiece. Got the remaster on my PS4 and it was even better plus did the dlc. The PS5 version is something else though, feels so much better to play, more fluid and responsive with gorgeous graphics and much better sound effects. A solid 9.5/10
I’m a little late to comment and I have to say that I love your videos. And you guys never have any errors, at least with me. But, please, tell me how the Factions mode was “massively slept on mp mode”? Because as far as I know and experienced… it was pretty damn popular.
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.
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💯🤷🏾♂️
Playing now and loving it, really taking it all in like I did the first time I played it on PS3, the graphics are beautiful and all the characters look amazing. This game is special to me, which is why I had no problem spending 70 quid on it.
To anybody who hasn’t played tlou1 before go ahead and buy the remake version it’s worth it but I’ve already played it awhile ago so I’m struggling to figure out if I should buy or if I should not
I agree, the characters emotions are 10x more than they used to be just with better graphics and expressions. I love it. I'm honestly glad they brought this back, bc having played lou2, it's a nice refresher to have a good story, without all the brutality
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.
While I do think 70 dollars may be too much, this is one of my favorite games of all time and I'm happy to spend the money on it, naughty dog will forever be my favorite studio and I can't wait to see what's next in both their multiplayer and single player games
This game looks phenomenal… and I want to jump in entirely… But the reality is that I’ve played this before… several times… and $70 is a big ask when pesky real world stuff starts vying for attention. As much as it kills me… I will have to wait.
the original game has been my favorite game ever made so when this was announced I was excited mainly for the visuals as thats a big part of most games I enjoy and the game just lived up to my hype
I was also disappointed when I heard about the lack of dodge and prone because that made me think that they didn't make any improvements to the mechanics and gameplay. That's not true it's so much smoother and is basically like the sequel minus those two things. Not to mention it's visually breathtaking. I'm grateful they did this. But $70... Come on guys the game was already 85% done. But fuck it I bought it because it's my first playthrough
I loved the Last of Us and it's Sequal, but Having a game launch at at least $100 AUD, I'm going to wait for a sale and wait to pick it up for closer to $50. As for first timers, this looks like a really solid experience.
I was disappointed with this and returned it. It was much more of a remaster than a remake, even if it's a really good remaster. I was hoping for Mafia kind of remake. I think building a game from the ground up there was no need to recreate the enemy encounters exactly how they were in the original. They could have made so many more changes and improvements while still respecting the original.
I've never played the last of us. But i'm only on pc these days so i sadly wont play it unless they add it to pc. I have no plans to really get a ps5 anytime soon. Does look like a good game though.
Never played it before, mainly because I've mostly played either PC or Nintendo Switch stuff. Had the PS3, but got it at a time where I was starting a new job, so I had little time for it. After playing the first version of COD MW2 and finishing the campaign in under 6 hours, I got mad at it and sort of stopped playing altogether. Got my first gaming laptop a few years after that and never looked back. This game got my attention a few years after it came out because I was starting to play mostly racing and 3rd person games. Seeing it's now coming to PC, I know I'll give it a go. The price is steep, and there are a bunch of games I've bought I haven't even started playing that came on sale in the last few months. I do now that, if I buy it now, I'll probably start playing it right away.
I can't wait to play this game, definitely buying it...when it's like $30. I never finished the remastered all the way through. Played the hell outta TLOU pt2, completed twice, platinum trophy, new game+. Wanna play it again when it gets PS5 upgrade. It'd be awesome to binge these 2 back to back when/if that happens. If they made a new multi-player of this universe, it could be the modern day CoD multi-player franchise. Potential is unlimited.
This release is absolutely perfect for me because I put this game off forever and still hadn’t played it, and now, I’m at a point in my life where I have a 32:9 OLED gaming monitor and a RTX4090 and I’m going IN lol. Gladly pay 70.00 for this because it’s a new game for me and I’m going to experience it at its absolute peak. Stoked.

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.
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.
This game blew my mind when I first played it, the story, the graphics, the anxiety it gave me. This has to go down as one of the all time best games.
I was going to make the exact comment...part 1 and 2 are probably the best games I've played for all the reasons you mentioned.

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
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

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!

its on g2a for $40. still kinda not worth it but its better i guess
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
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😂

I was hoping they would have sold it as a 10 dollar upgrade like they did for Uncharted 4 or GTA 5
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
Sure you did😉
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.
You won't be disappointed.

@@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.

Should of waited for the pc version man
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...
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.
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.

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

Dont forget part II 😂
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.

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.
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
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.

A lot of people forget about the multiplayer. Does it have it like the Ps3/Ps4 version?
Just buy the remastered version and save yourself money. (Jesus there are so many versions of this game it's hard to distinguish)

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
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.

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.
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.

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
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.
I was thinking on getting this game bc of how much people loved the first game, but I just don’t see the fun of it? What’s the replay value? Do people just like this game bc of the story ? Is it like GOW ragnarok where you get to explore and find areas ?
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
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.
@@wking8 you’re missing out on an amazing journey
Waited for the sale, already bought TLOU1-2 both physical and digital copies. Beat them on grounded multiple times. Just buying now to have them. Will play again lol
You read my mind.. I’m thinking if it’s a game you really like it’s always good to have a backup copy I’d say one physical and one digital.. Although I’m not the greatest player of LOU I still am a fan.. So maybe I will pick this up digitally on ps5 even owning the original masterpiece physical on ps3..
@@Mintcar923 def worth it for sure!!!
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!
I’ve never played tlou but I’m going to wait till it goes on sale
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 😉
I think 29.99 is a great price point for this game. It should have been that for launch. I guarantee almost everyone that doesn’t want to pay 70 will be willing to grab it at that price.
This game deserves some money for the work it has poured into the visuals and feel, but 70 will drive most people further away imo.
It’s up to us as consumers to drive the market into our favor by practicing patience and not succumb to peer pressure while these game companies make profit off our ignorance.
30 are u serious 😂
See this is why we can't have nice things people want them for free basically. There's a lot to consider, but def not $30 lmao maybe $50 would be acceptable
@@dannydamico-y8t I suppose my advertising degree would argue that a 50 dollar price point is a pricing psychology nightmare in the video game industry. That price point would sell less then either the 69.99 price point or my suggested 29.99 for a remake with a pre built game engine.
Clear reason is the price point suggests it’s neither worth "new game” price point of 69.99 but it’s better then a 29.99 price point of a pre used game engine. No game company would use this model and customers would not be as keen either.
@@BuxtonOfSexson Okay fair point I guess, but what I'm trying to say is that they would definitely never put it for $30.
$40 maybe $50 and I bet the sales would double or triple from release. Especially with very limited selection for true PS5 games being released right now. This is arguably the biggest release yet for PS5 (even though it's a "PS3" game), until God of War Ragnarok later this year.
And great point that, we the consumers, must dictate the prices of these games. Blows my mind to see special editions releasing for $120-$150.
Remember the old days of PS Hits for $20? Those was some good times back then...
I got my first play station yesterday and looking for games I’ve never played and I think I’ll try this one.
okkkk
Okkk
Boy oh boy. Didja get it?
I have the PS3/PS4 version of TLOU. I've played for some hours but haven't finished the game because I wanted to get the experience with the remake. So, yesterday, I bought the remake, and I'm so excited to play it!
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.
@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.
Favorite game of all time. Already played it a hundred times but I’m working my way thru the remake at a nice pace. It’s so beautiful
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
Just got the ps5 and about to play my first time crazy
I’ve never played the last of us. Recently picked up a ps5 but I’m holding off until it drops in price a bit. Definitely looking forward to eventually playing it but for now I’ve just been watching theradbrad play it. Once I get more storage for my ps5 cuz it only came with a measly 500gb I’ll def pick it up and play the hell out of it haha. Love the content man thanks for the video. You just got a like and a new subscriber👍
I like the game but I’m stuck in the original version of it at the high school fighting that boss. I’ve gotten past him before but it seems for some reason I cannot get past him now. I am thinking of playing the remake but is it really worth getting when the games only been out for a few years??
Dude , just got to settings while playing and change the difficulty to easy and then change back if your comfortable.
dude. give me the controller. ill beat the gym level for you. lol
noob quit the game
Molotov then bomb then clean up
They did an awesome job they need to make part 2 for the ps 5 now and give us a part 3 would be great
For some reason the original release was off my radar, but I played it years later as the remastered edition on PS4. I never finished the game, probably because I was playing many other games at the time, mostly online. But I remember this game having one of the best intros, it is probably still my favourite intro to a video game. I am a sucker for zombie games, with Left 4 Dead 2 being my favourite game until the day I die. I might have to buy this edition on PC so that I can finally finish it, and play the DLC.
Always has been in the top 5 best games of all time. This is simply amazing on PS5, so much better than the 2014 remaster on PS4. I agree that it's too expensive though, should be £40 max. It's definitely a must own though. Just wish they added more guns and the dodge manoeuvre aswel as go prone. Not bothered by the no multiplayer mode at all, for me this should only be single player story and I don't play multiplayer anyway, on any game period.
I'm glad you enjoy the remaster! I loved it as well when it first dropped, but the multi-player, was genuinely, incredibly fun. It felt like you were playing the game, but harder, with 2 teammates to revive. If you played it, and made a squad, it was incredibly fun, and something about the community in certain games just shines, especially since there was NO TRADING or any kind of bs manipulation involved in its MP. It was very enjoyable! If you have a ps3 still and the original game, if it's still available, I'd highly recommend playing the MP lol!
@@tomguglielmo9805 I had it on PS3 n loved it, masterpiece. Got the remaster on my PS4 and it was even better plus did the dlc. The PS5 version is something else though, feels so much better to play, more fluid and responsive with gorgeous graphics and much better sound effects. A solid 9.5/10
I’m a little late to comment and I have to say that I love your videos. And you guys never have any errors, at least with me. But, please, tell me how the Factions mode was “massively slept on mp mode”? Because as far as I know and experienced… it was pretty damn popular.
Having had xbox since 360 i never played the original, but when this drops on PC im sooo excited.
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.
I really need to actually play this game start to finish on my PS4 pro.
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💯🤷🏾♂️
Playing now and loving it, really taking it all in like I did the first time I played it on PS3, the graphics are beautiful and all the characters look amazing. This game is special to me, which is why I had no problem spending 70 quid on it.
while your wife still playing crash on that ps1...
@@mb_dori Very good 😂😂
Wtf is quid?
🤡. The reason these companies rip us off
@@Segotti I'm from the UK
To anybody who hasn’t played tlou1 before go ahead and buy the remake version it’s worth it but I’ve already played it awhile ago so I’m struggling to figure out if I should buy or if I should not
I agree, the characters emotions are 10x more than they used to be just with better graphics and expressions. I love it. I'm honestly glad they brought this back, bc having played lou2, it's a nice refresher to have a good story, without all the brutality
without the brutality?
that's what makes last of us and the story lol
@@dominicp9296 but the first game isn’t a brutally shit narrative lmao
@@dominicp9296 Part 2 was FAR more brutal than part 1
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.
Did they fix any of the stealth mechanics are is it still genuinely one of the worst games of all time when it comes to that ?
While I do think 70 dollars may be too much, this is one of my favorite games of all time and I'm happy to spend the money on it, naughty dog will forever be my favorite studio and I can't wait to see what's next in both their multiplayer and single player games
PS4 version of the game came with my PS4 when I bought it back in 2015, so i don’t feel bad about paying 70 for it.
This game looks phenomenal… and I want to jump in entirely… But the reality is that I’ve played this before… several times… and $70 is a big ask when pesky real world stuff starts vying for attention. As much as it kills me… I will have to wait.
the original game has been my favorite game ever made so when this was announced I was excited mainly for the visuals as thats a big part of most games I enjoy and the game just lived up to my hype
I was also disappointed when I heard about the lack of dodge and prone because that made me think that they didn't make any improvements to the mechanics and gameplay. That's not true it's so much smoother and is basically like the sequel minus those two things. Not to mention it's visually breathtaking. I'm grateful they did this. But $70... Come on guys the game was already 85% done. But fuck it I bought it because it's my first playthrough
Being primarily a PC gamer, I've never played this before. Definitely keen to check it out and pay full price when it comes to Steam!
I loved the Last of Us and it's Sequal, but Having a game launch at at least $100 AUD, I'm going to wait for a sale and wait to pick it up for closer to $50. As for first timers, this looks like a really solid experience.
I was disappointed with this and returned it. It was much more of a remaster than a remake, even if it's a really good remaster. I was hoping for Mafia kind of remake. I think building a game from the ground up there was no need to recreate the enemy encounters exactly how they were in the original. They could have made so many more changes and improvements while still respecting the original.
I've never played the last of us. But i'm only on pc these days so i sadly wont play it unless they add it to pc. I have no plans to really get a ps5 anytime soon. Does look like a good game though.
Did anyone else notice the updated camo on the soldier that shot Sarah? He’s now wearing the OCP (Coyote Green).
Never played it before, mainly because I've mostly played either PC or Nintendo Switch stuff. Had the PS3, but got it at a time where I was starting a new job, so I had little time for it. After playing the first version of COD MW2 and finishing the campaign in under 6 hours, I got mad at it and sort of stopped playing altogether. Got my first gaming laptop a few years after that and never looked back. This game got my attention a few years after it came out because I was starting to play mostly racing and 3rd person games. Seeing it's now coming to PC, I know I'll give it a go. The price is steep, and there are a bunch of games I've bought I haven't even started playing that came on sale in the last few months. I do now that, if I buy it now, I'll probably start playing it right away.
Before you buy it, you need to wait for the sales
05:31 😂 „…with all that vibration. It definitely goes hard….“ 💀 -susbaldino
I can't wait to play this game, definitely buying it...when it's like $30. I never finished the remastered all the way through.
Played the hell outta TLOU pt2, completed twice, platinum trophy, new game+. Wanna play it again when it gets PS5 upgrade. It'd be awesome to binge these 2 back to back when/if that happens.
If they made a new multi-player of this universe, it could be the modern day CoD multi-player franchise. Potential is unlimited.
Anything from Neil Druckmann is dead to me after he butchered TLOU2.
Only ever made it as far as the underground sewer system. Really excited to actually finish this
This release is absolutely perfect for me because I put this game off forever and still hadn’t played it, and now, I’m at a point in my life where I have a 32:9 OLED gaming monitor and a RTX4090 and I’m going IN lol. Gladly pay 70.00 for this because it’s a new game for me and I’m going to experience it at its absolute peak. Stoked.
I still prefer the original that vibe when u open a ps3 and play this game 10 years ago and u left in awe
