The Last of Us Remastered PS4

After several seriously slow editions of ‘Out This Week’, the PlayStation Nation seems ready to shake away its summer malaise. Indeed, it’s going to be a surprisingly busy August for Sony’s suite of systems, with the platform holder eager to turn up the temperature before we even stumble out of July. The one game that’s certain to be on your radar this time is The Last of Us Remastered, and unsurprisingly that’s our pick of the week – but don’t let the clickers cast a shadow over the other great titles due out over the next seven days.

Pick of the Week: The Last of Us Remastered

What more is there left to say about The Last of Us? We spent two years reporting on the PlayStation 3 game, and now we’ve exhausted another six or so months chatting about its PlayStation 4 re-release, The Last of Us Remastered. For those somehow out of the loop, this is an enhanced edition of the survival horror escapade that landed developer Naughty Dog every award under the sun in 2013 – and now it’s running at 60 frames-per-second in 1080p.

Mere performance improvements aren’t the only highlights in this next-gen remaster, however. The Californian developer has also bundled in all of the original title’s downloadable content, including the Left Behind expansion that we gushed over earlier in the year. There’s also a cast commentary mode starring actors Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, as well as a photo feature similar to the one in inFAMOUS: Second Son. Sold.
