The Last of Us: Part I is real, and it's coming to PS5 on the 2nd September. The long-rumoured announcement was meant to be Geoff Keighley's big finale for Summer Game Fest Live, but Sony somehow managed to leak the entire thing through its own PlayStation Direct store just hours before the show. Perhaps that leak contributed to the fact that most of you were left unimpressed with the event in our poll.
Anyway, we're here to talk about The Last of Us: Part I — a remake of The Last of Us, which originally released for PS3 just nine years ago. It was remastered for PS4 a year later, in 2014, and that remaster still holds up today, running at a silky smooth 60 frames-per-second.
With all of that in mind, many people are looking at the newly announced Part I and wondering whether such a remake is even necessary. While there's no doubt that Part I is going to look — and play, thanks to overhauled gameplay based on The Last of Us: Part II — a lot better than the original, Sony is essentially asking fans to cough up $70 for another version of its 2013 blockbuster. A universally acclaimed title, for sure, but it's easy to see why some onlookers are unenthused.
And so, we're here to ask whether you're actually interested in The Last of Us: Part I. Vote in our polls, and then explain your position in the comments section below.

Nope. But I'll play it when it's eventually added to ps+
Definitely will play it, but no big rush!
Isn’t it funny, 10ish people who have “Zero interest in The Last of us Part 1” clicked on an article about…..The Last of us Part 1
I had hoped, and still am I suppose, that there will be some kind of upgrade scheme for cheaper.
I definitely won’t but it for full price, having already bought it for both the PS3 and PS4!
Played it on PS3 and Ps4. That’s enough of playing the same game for me. I won’t support this game at all for any price and I encourage anyone who doesn’t want a super saturation of remakes to do the same
No reason to. The original game looks fine, if not better in some shots. Arguably there may be some gameplay improvements, but not enough to justify the high price. And I can’t imagine any of the changes they’ll make will be good. And it’s really uncomfortable calling it part one.
Hard pass from me. At the very least it doesn’t look like it will be butchering Joel’s character as much as I thought.
Hard pass.
I'm not paying full price for a third release of the same content. Had it been a true remake with some degree of a remaining of the original or full utilization of updated capabilities , rather than what looks like a modest glow up using the second games assets and visuals and control differences, I may have been interested.
This second remaster is not worth the asking price, nor condoning the continued creativity starved trend of profiteering on rehashed content by major studios in the industry. Of which ND has proven to now be a part of twice thus far.
@Postie85 Presumably to answer the poll. Good thing they did, otherwise the poll would have heavy participation bias.
Personally, I don’t see the need to go it a third time, and at $70, it just isn’t worth it imo.
Cant wait to play in on my PC ,be my third play through after playing it on PS3 and PS4
I'll end up getting it, but undecided whether to wait for a discount. Controversially, despite the fantastic story, i never thought The Last of Us was a great game. The AI was terrible and it didn't play brilliantly. I thought the Last of Us 2 on the otherhand was an absolute masterpiece. So if this can build on the progress made in the second game, this will almost feel like a completely new release to me, which would be well worth the purchase.
No way I would pay money when I basically already have it and it looks and plays beautifully! (Plus it has Factions which still plenty of people play!) However when is eventually added to Plus Extra I will happily play and platinum it.
It's such a masterpiece and it's a PS5 exklusive Remake. Day 1 for me.
No, I quite recently played the remaster on PS4 last year. The only way this would excite me is if they add VR mode with PSVR2.
But then again the target audience for this is probably not people like me, but rather players new to Playstation, new fans of the coming TV series and PC players.
I already have the remastered version in my backlog yet to play. So this version I might play if it comes to ps plus one day
@ZombieJ1967 No way. They will not be offering an upgrade.
Wait a year and it will be $20, and wait 2 years and it will be a free game on Plus (or maybe on PS Plus Extra Super-Deluxe, or whatever they call it).
If I could find somewhere to pre-order it that delivers to my country I'd do it now.
Will wait for Gamestop orders to go up though.
Finished the original 3 times, the remaster twice.
And Part II I finished once. I've intended on playing it again. The story is so heavy. Good, but very heavy.
I'll probably play both in a row actually. Go from one straight to next.
Cant wait! Even though I know the story Games like the Last of Us part 1 are the reason I play games! Love the characters, story, and setting especially the part at the university which is modeled after Colorado State University in Fort Collins Colorado not to far from where in live! Hoping there’s a part 3 in development as I’d really like to see Ellie’s and Abby’s story continue. I went from hating Abby and not playing the game for a few weeks because of what she did to sympathizing with her although I’ll always love Ellie first.
No played it loved it, new games please.
Welcome to the new generation nearly 2 years in.
Old backwards compatibility games.
Old games remade etc.
Mainly cross generation games.
£450 for a quarter new generation, this includes the other side as well.
The Last of Us Remake is a day 1 purchase. My September is decided gaming-wise.
sony and their oh 9/10 games , redo that one milk it for all its worth geez we had bought our remakes. new games? dont get me wrong i love last of us but seriously the last upgrade was good enough.
For £70, not a chance in hell. But to be fair I have found that to be the case for the majority of games. I could maybe be tempted for £10-£15 in the distant future, but to be honest it'll probably be out on PS Plus long before its price gets that low, and I'll play it there.
I have completed it twice though, so not sure I need to play it through again. My favourite bit is the very start actually, it feels a bit like Half Life 2.
If I was a PC only user that has never played it I'd be stoked! But considering the Remastered version is perfectly fine as it is I just don't see any point to this from a consumer point of view.
Maybe if they added some new content like Ghost of Tsushima Directors Cut did or a rebalanced Factions mode with some new maps or something I'd be more interested in it but just the base game and Left Behind with some of TLOU2's mechanics isn't nearly enough to warrant full price here. Maybe on a steep steep sale some day I'll pick it up but not any time soon.
I already have the remastered version but not got around to playing it yet. I did wonder how much the PS5 version would be, I after say after seeing the price of it I did raise an eye brow and said something along the lines of WTF!
@Postie85 loving the profile picture, one of the best Wrestling games I ever played on N64, so many funny moments playing it with friends
Not at launch for $70, I tell ya h'what.
The Last of Us is one of the best games Playstation's ever put out with one of the best endings in all of gaming. And I own that version, and am quite happy with it. If this remake has notable improvements to gameplay, I might consider it if it's on a good sale.
I'll pick it up very cheap or on plus some time down the line. No rush played through a few times. It's not what I wanted from Naughty Dog TBH. But I get why they did it. It's got to be better than laying off staff between games. Better they are working productively. I'm sure it's releasing on PC to help cover costs. I think it's nice they're thinking of the workers. Let's hope they get straight on the new game after. Great way to keep continuity and talent in the workforce.
I have the Remastered version alongside my PS4 Pro. While I don’t have a PS5 yet, I plan on picking one up some point later this year or early next year. Even when I have a PS5, I’ll probably only pick this up for $30 or under. I’m sure it’s going to be great, just don’t feel the need to grab it right away.
Yes. I will get it.not right away though.with the callisto protocol and dead space remake coming.oh yeah.word up son
I'll buy it at some point in the future, I have a perfectly good version of this already on my PS5 so will pick it up at some point down the line when it's on sale. Had there been an upgrade path for existing owners I'd have probably got it at launch, as is I see no value to it.
I've finished it a few times, most recently just after The Last of Us 2 and whilst this does have the improved controls of that, they really need to redesign the environments to take advantage of them so hopefully that has been done.
The Resident Evil 4 remake is much more interesting to me as it looks like a lot more has been done and needed to be done, so I'm looking forward to seeing more of that
I don't know if I would consider it a remake. FFVII was a remake, RE2 was a remake. This looks more like a Remastered Remaster. Just better graphics in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I love The Last of Us 1(Part 2, that's a different story) but I think the PS4 version is good enough.
No. Got on PS3 already and didn't think it was anything really special.
Besides from that, I understand it's as remake just as much as Demon's Souls remake and the upcoming Dead Space are remakes; basically the same game with a new "coat of paint" plus some minor tweaks to the gameplay/mechanics.
Boring if you ask me.
As a rule I will only spend up to £40 max on a new game, I do wonder what sales figures are like with these crazy prices that they're charging. It must be hurting game sales and that's maybe why they're pushing a subscription model instead
This is an easy buy, modeled after the last of us 2 gameplay. Adding dualsense features, all the new accessibility options. The comparison screenshots show a huge difference, the lighting is better, the clickers are even more creepy. They went above and beyond with this remake. I'll be preordering it next month.
I beat the game on PS3, I platinum'ed the game on PS4, and I'll pick this up on day one for PS5. =)
I won't buy it because I don't have a PS5, otherwise I would.
Maybe, as long as it's not a full on $70 release. Seems like the perfect sort of game to offer on the subscription service though. Perhaps at the highest tier to further encourage people to pik up that one.
For the moment I voted Yep, but I'll wait for a discount. But my answer is really no. Price is way too high and I love the games so I'd be tempted to at some point when it's £20 or less. Maybe closer to £10.
I'm also a sucker for these games so chances are if a deal comes along I probably won't be able to stop my hands clicking on the buy button
Already preordered and HAPPY to pay $70 because I can afford my extracurricular hobby.
I got it for PS3, got a free PS4 upgrade with my PS4 pro, I would have said hard pass for this. But it's a full remake from the ground up. I'll get it on sale a year from now
Some of these comments are funny because people are just basing an opinion off of the trailer and a bunch of guesses and assumptions. People should wait till they show off the changes and what they added first imo.
Yeah I bought the Firefly Edition already lol. I don't care if it needs to exist or not. It's a very clearly DEFINITIVE version of one of the best games ever made. Why would I not want that?
This is one of the finest games ever made in my opinion, and despite having played the previous versions to completion, im very happy to see a version rebuilt for current tech. The differences are extremely obvious and welcome to me, but given my background, that might not be representative of how others see it.
Certainly from myself it will be a day one buy, but I do respect those who have already played and wont pay again.
They should remember though, the original was 9 years ago now. There will be lots of younger players who have not had this experience, and lots of interest due to the launch of the tv series.
I suspect the bulk of purchasers will be first time players of the game. The others will be fans of the title who wish to experience the best version of the game... like me😁
Nah, I probably won't buy it.
Yes, I've finished it multiple times.
I will buy this probably...but only because I'm in the small minority of sheltered individuals who have not played the original/remaster.
I can totally see though why the majority of PS gamers would be less than enthused by this announcement seems a strange/uncessecary use of Naughty Dog resources?!
I am honestly much more exctied about FF16, REmake4 and SF6
Yes, but not at launch
@PlatinumPlaystation
I’ve had an idea GOW2 release date 11/11/22
Just for fun 🤩
No thanks. I played it on PS3. Good memories, but no need for a remake or a Part II for that matter. The ending of Part I is just perfect for me. But I do hope the Tv show and the remake attract a whole new audience.
Nah, I won’t buy it. I’ve beaten the base game and remastered, so I’m good. Not unless there’s a free upgrade path on the game. Imo, this is the most unnecessary remake of all time in any artistic medium ever. Of course, there could be large amounts of new content that could change my mind, but I’m not expecting that.
I will get the multiplayer game though.
I'll wait for a discount.
@Postie85 thats what polls are for ,you basically just said your opinion only matters if its,the same as mine.
Zero interest in the series anymore! I played the first on PS3 once I never felt the need or reason to replay it since what it offered was limited to seeing the story unfold, same applies for the 2nd game! I wish if they put that effort in releasing the MP earlier of focused on making something new!
It looks like a cache grab!
I wouldn’t buy it - I finished it before the first remaster but don’t care then much to play it again. Might spend some time with it if it comes to Plus.
@tallythwack Didn’t mean for my comment to sound as arsey as it did, it sounded more like a Norm Macdonald type comment in my head when I typed it
Obviously everyone is entitled to their opinion. I actually voted for “yes but will wait for a price drop” because even though I love the game and it is one of my all time faves and I wanna support the devs and the good work they do even I can’t justify £70 on a game I’ve bought twice before
Yeah not for me. I generally don't play remakes or remasters of games I've already finished, with only a couple of exceptions, and this feels too recent for my liking.
I never once thought this was necessary and ND could REALLY be using their tallents somewhere else other than the third iteration of the exact same game.
Hope people enjoy it tho, I'll be skipping this till its free or heavily discounted.
Cant wait for factions tho.
Not a chance at £70.
I'll be waiting for a discount then probably get it. Will finally be able to plat it as well since I never played the PS3 one and the remastered still kept those online trophies in.
@messimagician Thanks man! That and the WWF games on the N64 were some of the best couch multiplayer games going!
I wish there was an upgrade path like the Uncharted games. I can't justify spending $70 for a game I already own, even if it is my favorite game.
I want to play the game since it's one of the best game ever imo, but knowing how the story end on tlou2 make me didn't want to play any tlou game again.
I finished the original on PS3 and wasn't impressed at all. No thanks.
At £70 they can roll it up and poke it…. “Literally”, as the kids say🤠
It would've been more fitting if it came with Last of Us Part 2 as a sort of definitive edition.
I'm definitely buying it day 1. I love The Last of Us games! I bought TLOU for PS3 about 2 years after launch for $7 (360 gamer that generation). And I bought TLOU Remastered for PS4 for $20. So I didn't pay full price for either game. After hours of entertainment with both games, I don't mind paying Naughty Dog $70 for a Remake of one of my favorite games! I'm glad the multiplayer isn't being added this time around because it will make it easier to get the Platinum trophy 😄
I have the PS3 original and PS4 Remaster so I doubt I will bother buying it yet again. It wasn't all that great, very predictable story and I didn't really like Joel. Everyone he meets is a better character yet by the end of the Chapter, they're dead...
Unless its given away on PS+ (the 'basic' tier), and even then I don't think I'll end up replaying.
I refuse to spend £70 on ANY game, let alone a remake of a remaster of an original game that I still own...
theres so many old Sony Games that need a remake to bring them up to modern standards last of us isnt one of them
Nope. Completely pointless. I’ll just check the differences out of curiosity.
Too early to say but it’s certainly not a title that’s piqued my interest yet. Enjoyed the sequel a lot more than certain vitriolic fans but still, feel that with this and the PS5 Lost Legacy collection Naughty Dog, like Rockstar with GTAV, are milking past glories and should focus more on releasing fresh, new titles. Also it’s shockingly overpriced and really only gamers who have never played the original should fork out that amount of money for what is, ostensibly, a fancy paint job …
… but then again I was never the hugest fan of the franchise and whilst they were masterfully crafted, gorgeous looking games they were, narrative,y speaking, absolutely nothing new and possibly because of that I was just that bit underwhelmed by them.
But hey we all have opinions and mine, like most others, are pretty insignificant in the scheme of things!
@Dezzy70 i dont seem to have this problem i like to look at the positive the games on PS5 look great, play great love the controller, load fast. Even the crossplatform games are a blast.
But ill probably get it but i have not seen anything yet so i dont get all the hate. Who knows maybe ill will be a piece of art the story was one of my favorite ones anyway.
I brought the "full" PS3 & PS4 remaster versions that had multiplayer, there is just no way I am paying again. Not only that they've stripped out the multiplayer, you basically paying more money for less content.
I'll get it in about 3 years when it hits the bargain bin or comes to Plus, lol.
One of my favorite games ever. However, i will not be paying $69 just to play it again with better graphics. Remastered looks great on its own. Having said that, i would be willing to pay $20 for it, or just wait until it is included on PS Extra or Premium
No interest whatsoever. Seriously, Sony premier studios should create and reveal new AAA IPs for PS5. Do something different and unique like how Naughty Dog created Uncharted back during the PS3 era or how Guerilla created Horizon Zero Dawn on PS4. Enough Uncharteds, Last of Uss, and God of Wars. How about AAA JRPGs (Legend of Dragoon anyone?)?? An ambitious open world RPG? Scifi space opera IP?? AAA FPS franchise with excellent campaign?? They depend too much on third person action/adventure games. I haven't bought a Sony first party game since Horizon, God of War, and Uncharted 4 because they are beginning to feel so similar (3rd person action/adventure titles).
@Postie85 It is not about Last of Us. Sony wants us to pay for a remake of remake for $70. I bet that is why you see those votes.
I have the PS3 version, PS4 remake and now they want another $70 for a PS5 remake?
So when the PS6 come will there be another remake?
People sure seem to be happy to hand over money to multi billion dollar company who by the way is making huge profits.
Definitely buying it but will wait for a great Black Friday deal. This and Gotham Knights hopefully hits the BF Buy 2 Get 1 Free market this holiday season
I love Sony.
The Last of Us is one of my top 5 games ever in 30 years of gaming.
Nonetheless £70 for this game is in my view, insane.
@Flaming_Kaiser
Wow just went to sports direct UK that have Game UK inside the shop and by a little miracle picked up PS5 Disc Edition solo no bundles. £449.99
Got the last remaining one.
Someone I know will be very happy 😃
I flat out refuse to pay Sony £70 for any game so there's zero chance of me buying this price gouging reremaster. I checked my receipt for the day one digital PS3 release earlier, £39.99. That's what this should be at the most. I'll buy a preowned disc copy when it's around £15.
I would have to be beyond help if I were to buy the same game a third time except this one cost more and has less content 😐
At the bare minimum the people that buy this cash grab should have free access to the PS5 version of Factions (if it isn't f2p), could you imagine after shelling out over $70 you have pay up to play something that was originally free with the game.
It's a very good game overall, and I've already done my part in supporting the devs by buying the Remastered version. It's not worth spending full price on it again only for some graphical updates.
If they want my money, they must come up with a new release in the series, or an entirely new IP.
I’ve preordered and can’t wait to play it again as it’s been a few years. I’m nearly finished my playthrough of part 2 and I’m wondering how they will handle the end of part 1, will they make it a cutscene seeing as it really impacts part 2?
If there was a 10$ upgrade path then sure but they are literally charging 70$ for this. Not 60, not 50, not even 40 for a remake that just uses TLOU2's assets.
@Postie85 the title of the article states it is a poll about buying it or not so it's not strange at all in fact it makes perfect sense. I am guessing you are one of the people who will be buying it again hence why your so defensive over a game
@Postie85
Can't speak for others, but I clicked because it was a poll.
@jmac1686 so can I but I am not stupid. Even GTA 5 on ps5 wasn't full price. Well done though for trying to brag that you can afford a game when literally everyone on here is a gamer who can afford games
@Shepherd_Tallon I've wanted to replay the 2nd one for like 6 months now but since those rumors have been swirling around, I just couldn't bring myself to do it as I have the exact same plan as you, haha
@Mauzuri The clickers are creepy as hell. I'm amazed I made it through the game.
Incredible game but I think this is a bit of a slap in the face for those of us that bought this twice already. It's a poor move to offer so little. It's not like this is an undiscovered gem from the PS3/PS4 eras that maybe needed the opportunity to find a new audience. It's a huge selling, critically acclaimed masterpiece.
If they had updated both games for PS5 and released it as a package then I could justify buying it. If only to improve load times I probably would have triple dipped.
No,
The Last Of Us is my all time favorite game. I got platinum on the PS3 version, and played through it so many times.
I am still slowly working my way through the remastered version....Seriously, I just got past where Ellie Meets David about 2 weeks ago.
70 bucks for a game that came out in 2013 is just ridiculous, no matter how "Remade" it is.
If it added more to the story, other than the Left Behind DLC content (It is obvious from the trailer) then it might......might, be worth it... I know I would like a Ish and Kyle playthrough, along with a Henry and Sam as well, Hell, even add a Bill and Frank story
Other than those added elements, it is just not worth the asking price.
If sony is going to go back and "Remake" a game, at least add some elements that fans would like to see.
Yes. Eventually at a deep deep sale or if it comes to PS+
I’m slightly convinced this release is more for PC so they can then sell TLOU2 directors cut in 12 months at full price too.
I played like 10-15 minutes of it on PS3. I still have it somewhere.
Might play the remake if I ever sub to the PSwhatever tier or it's like 5$ sometime.
@supergurr I wasn’t trying to be defensive or cause any kind of toxicity in the comment section. Was more of a comment on the wording of the poll, like, if you have zero interest in a game, why would you comment on and vote in a poll for it. I have zero interest in Love Island so I don’t watch it and I certainly don’t vote on it
@Postie85 I absolutely loved the original, I still own it on PS3, but I see no need for a remake of a game that’s less than a decade old and already had a remaster, especially one that still plays so well. Just like others are said, I came to cast my vote, because that’s the purpose of polls. If they didn’t want an honest polling, they’d only have the top three options of the poll.
@Dezzy70 Congrats mate i hope you will have a blast. 😁👍
Got mine 2 weeks ago. 🤪
Yes, but not day one. Will wait for a sale.
@Odium it was more of a comment on the “zero interest”. Think they could’ve left that option out when the choice above that was “No, I probably won’t buy it”. Ultimately I thought I was being funny but I don’t think it worked 😬
I played it many years ago on PS3, once was enough.
Will part of the remaster be retconning the ending so Joel appears to be a selfish psychopath instead of a loving father? Sorry, I stopped playing the second game when the developers decided it was a good idea to force the player to play as a psychopath. If I want to play as the bad guy, I'll play GTA.
Shadow of the Colossus Remake came out about 12 and a half years after the original, and 7 years after the remaster.
Demon's Souls Remake came out 11 years after the original.
The Last of Us Part 1 comes out 9 years and a few months after the original and 8 years and a few months after the remaster.
These timelines are all roughly in line with each other. They are low-intensity projects that can be made on a short timeline and help videogame studios recover between intense projects. Remakes like these are good things.
The only problem with TLOUP1 is the price. It should be 50 dollars, not 70 dollars.
@dschons It would be an excellent way to spend a week off work 🤔
@patronmacabre Yes. Exactly this. Solid points all.
Sure, when its a tenner
@Flaming_Kaiser
Thank you 😊
Not for me..didnt enjoy it but i can see why people go crazy for it..i hope everybody enjoys it again and i'm sure it will be another smash but i just cant get into it..
It's weird for me because I don't know how I feel about the series after part 2, eventhough I enjoyed both parts separately. I love Part 1, but I don't know if I can enjoy it again when I know there will never be a future for Joel+Ellie in the series.
I guess I'm not a fan of the series as such; I'm just a fan of part 1 and 2 separately, as two independent games.
@jmac1686
"Extracurricular" is not the right word.
I can afford gaming as well, but just because I CAN spend $70 on this game doesn't mean I WILL or SHOULD because I don't think it is worth that amount (being a remaster of a remaster). When the game is $40 or less, I think I'll bite. By then, the game will be in better shape, too.
If the game is worth $70 to you, that's all that matters, so spend away.
It's a pretty good movie though. Watching it on Youtube now while I'm re-downloading my PS3 copy (takes forever btw).
@BReal... and get over yourself. They are applying new technology for an upgraded console system for a beloved game that is easily one of the best of all time.
1 hour 40 minutes in and now there's actual challenging gameplay.. and the game seems to be falling apart lol.. the Youtuber playing it just died twice in the same section.. he should probably have played it a bit more stealthy
And a 3rd time.. tried to shoot his way.. didn't work.
On a deep sale, but yeah, maybe.
I did play and get the platinum for TLoU Remastered pretty recently (late 2020) so I'm not exactly desperate to revisit the game.
@Postie85 fair enough. Don’t worry, I’m an expert at funny in my head not so much with my audience. One day my wife will laugh at one of my jokes, one day. 😂
@Ambassador_Kong they might add abbies dad at the end & give Joel a golf club so you can cave his head in lol
No interest at present if its the same game with updated graphics ; not even a remaster , just like mafia 1 supposed remake.
I'll definitely be picking it up. I haven't played the game much since the PS3 days.
Completed it on PS3 and again when the Remaster came out in PS4.
That's plenty.
@KundaliniRising333 imagine the other games that the talent at ND didn't get to work on because they were consumed by remakes & remasters for the last... forever. 😥
@B_Lindz especially for people who bought it on ps3 & ps4. Sony is really behind this generation when it comes to this sort of thing (PS+ & ps4 to ps5 game upgrades), for some reason. They seemed to think the players should just take what they are given & like it, regardless of what it costs. All of these things seem pretty predictable to me, & easy to avoid if u value ur customers. But, we are again reminded they're a business, & everything they can get away with goes, i guess. 😥
@Mauzuri that’s how I felt the first time playing it on the ps3…. I tried again about 2 years ago and powered through it. It’s a masterpiece and a game I’ll adore forever.
I’ll definitely play it but no way I’ll pay £70.
It’s crazy to think that TLoU was only made 4 years after Demo’s Souls but the Demon’s Souls remake looks so much more improved than TLoU remake. I don’t know if that’s because the TLoU was so ahead of it’s time that the improvements are less obvious. But regardless, any excuse to replay that masterpiece of a game 👍
Hell no, I'll wait for the remaster of the remake on PS6. That'll be the shizz!!
I voted I have no interest, but only after looking for and not finding the "Jim and Neil can take go click themselves with their clicking money grubbing scams" option.
I literally just played the PS4 remaster for the first time at the end of last year, right before the rumors began to pick up speed for this version. This was thanks to the PS Plus Collection on my PS5. For me, it’s too soon, but I guess I can see it being a different case for those who picked up that version nearly eight years ago now. It just doesn’t seem like a $70-dollar-worthy upgrade after getting ahold of the solid, slick last-gen offering for next to nothing.
Gonna get it via the PS plus one day.
I purchased it day one on PS3. I purchased the remaster on sale, 9.99 I think. I will not be paying $70 for this, but I will play it when it hits PS+. I will give them credit, Sony has some big stones putting this at $70.00.
Sony is insane if they think I'm going to buy the same game again at $70 especially when they removed an entire portion of it.
No Factions and it's costs more than the PS4 Remaster? What a joke. This is a low-effort cash grab for the sony pony whales that would buy it regardless. All they did was port TOUII assets and update the game to their latest engine.
I hope they incorporate Left Behind into the main game - it would be really cool to have that content seamlessly woven into the story, instead of quitting and going back to the main menu
I played the game last year on my ps4 pro. The story was amazing. I don’t know what kind of remake they can make to be valued at 70 dollars and still be worth to replay. Maybe for pc players who never played the game, it will be a good investment. This the kind of game that everyone should play at some point, the way the story is told, makes a strong case for single player games to never die.
I'll buy it, platinum it again in 1 week, resell it
I've completed the story twice, once on PS3 and another time on PS4.
As for the remake, hard pass on paying full price for it. I'll wait for it to drop down to $30 New in a few years...
Trailer looked alright, but not enough to make me spend $70 lol.
Unless they add in new story cutscenes and/or new levels (missions)...then I might buy it sooner.
Played it on the PS3. Enjoyed it. But not enough to reply the game a second time and I wasn't even interested in part 2 after watching a stream of it. So it's a hard pass for me. Paying 70 pounds for replaying something with a few updates just isn't worth the price.
@naruball so 2027?
Played it on ps3, played it on ps4., would prefer something new.
Always! Will buy it for every future console! It’s one of the best games I ever played. And people are a bit limited in their opinion on remakes. Every year there are new gamers and they haven’t experience this game before and not to remaster or remake a game for those players is depriving them of the experience. So maybe learn to be less selfish in your judgment and think more about the growing gamer community and be happy for new gamers. It would suit you.
Since I got the PS4 version for free with the PS classic collection it's hard to justify buying the PS5 version, having said that if the price drops down considerably by the time I'm ready to play the game for the first time I might buy it
@Postie85 fair enough 😂 I too would love to support naughty dog, theyre probably one of the best devs in the world,however 70 quid is a bit much, I wish they would support their fans by giving those who have bought it on 2 previous generations a discount.
@BadPlayerOne its not just naughty dog who made this game the success that it is,it was the people who bought it on ps3 then ps4 and who voted for it to win its many awards,surely those fans should be offered a price reduction.
Poll results are often striking. Sure; i’m addicted but f**k me 😅 some folk just refuse to see the last of it.
Was the remake needed, no not really. Do I want it, YES! The price is a little high, but everything is where I live these days. Got it pre-ordered.
Yesterday was yesterday. If you try and recapture it you will only lose tomorrow. Accurate af
TLOU is one of the best games of all time. I have finished it and Left Behind multiple times. For me that is a big rarity, as usually I squeeze all I want out of a game and then drop it forever. I adore the game.
But I see no reason to play the remake when the remaster exists. And I would rather Naughty Dog focus on a new IP then continue to recycle this adventure every few years.
@tallythwack I can relate to that or make it a PlayStation plus premium/extra game.
I'm surprised that only 6% are like me and have never played the series. I can't stand zombies.
best remake ever
Who doesn't want a game that will look slightly prettier than it was a few years ago?
@BAMozzy I totally agree with this. This gen is actually starting to feel absurd…
@redinproductions have you already played it? 🤔
@Unlucky13 FYI it’s actually not zombies. 😊
The last of us is my favorite game ever, I've beat it multiple times on every difficulty and have the platinum.
I'm torn on this though. For starters... 70 dollars? You can get remastered literally for free!!! No way this should be more than 30 or 40 bucks. GTA 5 was only 10 dollars for PS5.
Sadly there is a real shortage of games right now. Made worse by companies remaking old games that aren't that old instead of developing new brands.
If September comes and I have nothing to play I'll prolly buy it like a chump, hopefully something else keeps me busy.
@BReal This is the real problem. This sells 5 million copies and next up for naughty dog... Remake all the uncharted games.
Yet we still have no metal gear solid remake.
@patronmacabre should be free with PS+ Extra or Premium
I played the remaster and thought it was a solid 7/10 , far from the masterpiece everyone claims it to be.
I have zero interest in a remake, I'm getting sick of the remaster/remake generation we're in right now. Give us new games please!
@gamer_since_83 I have zero interest in zombie-like enemies, or anything horror in general. I hate it.
I still have bad memories of that section of the first Uncharted game!
Might get it if they add accessibility features. Finished the first on PS3, but the game was just so frantic at times, that made combat not enjoyable unless fully upgraded.
Hope Sony have some sort of launcher for thier PC games so we can get trophies just like we can get achivements on Xbox PC games.
I completed the PS3 version several times. I also completed the PS4 remaster a few times, too.
I will definitely buy the PS5 remaster-remaster.
Maybe I am a sucker. Perhaps I am just a glutton for punishment.
But mostly I just want to see what Naughty Dog are capable of with new hardware.
And my copy of Part II has NEVER worked on the PS5, so I will buy that again, too.
Do you think that they release some kind of Collection/Double Pack edition?
No, of course they will not release a “Collection” edition.
That would save people some money.
What was I thinking?
I don't know if I'm getting it on launch, but I do want to get it. I'll need to see mechanics demonstrated first, and if they change anything storywise, then I will pass on it for sure, and wait for the Plus release.
Nope, finished it on PS4 (remastered), loved it, one of the best games I've played, but I have no desire to play through it again. Too many new games coming out I would rather play.
I've had Elden Ring since launched and still not started it due to other games, so I am not going to add another older game to my backlog!
@LeeHarveyOzgod exactly. At least we’ve got all these remastered remakes to look forward to on ps6 🤦🏻♂️
Really love lou1 and part2,though unless there's some sort of big upgrade to the ps4 remaster which I have already and I have part 2 then I certainly won't be buying it at launch and I'll get it further on down the road when it's ,bit cheaper.i get that the workers need something to work on in the interim between projects great that they are using new hardware to produce a game even though its a remaster etc, but for me at least I've got to see something in this new one that means I possibly can't not buy it day 1,you never know perhaps it'll be fantastic with dualsense controls adding to experience + 3d audio etc ,and yes I could be left eating my words here when it's released and realise that I need it ,who knows it may be amazing on ps5 and its certainly got the tech to be brilliant even if its been out twice before,it'll be very interesting as we get nearer to launch on 2nd Sept as to what it's really like ,here's hoping it'll be something special,we will see
I guess it originally came out long enough ago to warrant a remaster, but the problem is that the original still feels relevant and playable today. Which is a great compliment to the original really.
And possibly a sign of diminishing returns in next gen tech upgrades. Fps and resolution improvements are very nice and all, but lack the wow appeal of older console upgrades.
HELL TO DA NAW!!
@ZombieJ1967
Naughty Dog : "im going to beat you and you are going to LIKE IT!!"
Gamers in 2022 : "YES DADDY! MORE!!"
@Dezzy70 People literally got a PS5 to play a "few" PS5 games and their OLD ps4 games!
a PS5 is basically a "ps4-pro-pro"
LOL!!!
@MakersMark
Unfortunately it seems the same across the whole of this generation of new consoles to some degree currently.
I think apart from third party games you just have to go with what console suits yourself and or family for the the games you like that might be exclusive.
Then you have the Switch with its collection of exclusive Nintendo games as well.
In the end you could end up with all three main consoles 😂
@I_Go_by_Many_Names well said
Day one play ! No doubt competed first one few times playing part 2 for fifth time or sixth I think ,people moaning about prove what do you want to pay 10 quid … games cost millions to make
After watching the Xbox showcase I take it all back and I'm gonna buy this 😂
I love TLOU so yeah I'll buy the remake, but I won't be paying full whack.
No not gonna happen, sorry bro i have 0 intrest in that good luck
YES, Can't wait to play this on PC!
September 2nd is coming.. don't buy it... HOOOOLLLLDDD!!!!
