"Did things just get sharper?"

The Last of Us is arguably the best looking game available on the PlayStation 3, so it’s hard to imagine it looking much better. However, that’s exactly what Naughty Dog’s promising with its upcoming PlayStation 4 port of the post-apocalyptic escapade, The Last of Us Remastered. The big question is: will you be able to spot the improvements?

We’ll need to wait for the game’s 29th July release date to find out for sure, but GameSpot has pieced together an early comparison using footage from the re-release’s E3 2014 trailer. You’ll want to watch the video in high-definition at full screen to get the full effect, but you can clearly see that the boosted resolution has really enhanced the cinematics.

Of course, with the gameplay also set to run at 60 frames-per-second, you should expect even more improvements during the title’s moment-to-moment action. Are you impressed by this quick comparison, or were you expecting a bigger jump? Beware of spoilers, and let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
