The Last of Us Remastered (PS4) officially announced

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/04/09/the-last-of-us-remastered-coming-to-ps4-summer-2014/

Well, it’s no secret that we have been working night and day at the studio to bring The Last of Us to PS4.

We’re calling it The Last of Us Remastered.

Moving our efforts to the PS4 has allowed us to remaster an already phenomenal looking The Last of Us in 1080p with a list of upgrades including higher resolution character models, improved shadows and lighting, upgraded textures, along with even more improvements. We love setting challenging technical hurdles for us when working on each game – and this is no different. We’ve been working hard on The Last of Us Remastered to release a next-gen evolution worthy of the 200+ Game of the Year awards, not to mention the acclaim and expectations of our fans. We will be revealing more detailed information about the upgrades for the PS4 version in the coming months.

In addition to all the technical updates, we’re also including an exclusive director’s commentary for all in-game cinematics featuring Creative Director and Writer, Neil Druckmann; Voice Actor, Troy Baker, who plays Joel; and BAFTA Award winning Voice Actress, Ashley Johnson, who plays Ellie.

We’ve released a ton of additional content since The Last of Us launched in June 2013, including our first ever single player expansion, Left Behind. We’re happy to say that the major content releases will be included with The Last of Us Remastered:

• Left Behind single player expansion
• Abandoned Territories multiplayer map pack
• Reclaimed Territories pack – details will be coming soon on exactly what is included

Whether you are new to The Last of Us or have played it already on the PS3, we hope you are all looking forward to this release. We are!

You can preorder The Last of Us Remastered for PS4 right now from many of your favorite retailers and receive these preorder bonuses:

When you're talking about a top 5 GOAT, the HYPE cant be enough. Puts SSBB and Mario Kart in their place. All hail TLOU!@

No brainer, picking it up day one.

Beaten to the punch. Still picking it up a second time. Only played through the game once on the PS3.

Is this considered milking or nah?

So the PS3 loses an exclusive

Disgusting price tag. This is my goty of last year but this is a fking milk fest to an absurd level, don't buy this...

Meh I will wait for TLOU Ultra Hyper Edition.

i couldn't care about the GOTY awards, but if i did get a ps4 this would be a game i'd get for it. in a way, this is one less reason for me to grab a ps3.

in fact now that i know this version is coming i'd definitely go for the ps4 version for my first proper, complete playthrough of tlou.

Milkage

The Last of Us:Not Even a Year Edition. For the fans that love getting milked and jizzed on. Anyway, there goes one of the biggest reason to be excited in getting PS Now. More like PS Never. #GreatmessAwaits

Very odd that they have a remastered version already but I missed it on the ps3 so I will pick it up for the ps4 when I get one later this year.

You should be later to this news.
