Yes, I know; but the creative director had said previously that the gameplay for the ps4 would feature "cutscene-quality" character models and textures.

Well Naughty Dog did say they would be featuring cutscenes quality textures and models for the ps4 version, so this could actually be pretty close to actual gameplay graphics.

No, because cutscenes and gameplay on PS3 are different

@isimitaiwo Just what I was thinking. In an interview the devs boasted more about the advances they made with the cut scenes than with the gameplay. Makes me wonder why they aren't showing gameplay now especially seeing as how the game drops next month.

@Jdzspace This is why the gaming industry is the way it is. Trust me, as long people like you are screaming 'take my money', that's exactly what these devs will continue to do. You're rebuying the same exact game for another $60 you've played before but with better resolution, lol!

@HipHopBeats @Jdzspace If that's what he wants to do then let him. If they continue making these, it means enough people want them.

What do you expect your not going to get a jump like non hd to hd, just like people complaining that blurays are not much better than dvd cant expect a vhs to dvd jump. This generations more about resolution and framerate(some games) more players in multiplayer games and aa and other graphical effects. For the most part consoles look closer to pc this gen

Basically a resolution bump. I guess that's to be expected.

I think people dont realize that the remastered version runs at 60fps compared to the 24-30 of the original, as well as the graphical enhancements.


anyone who has played the original and watches the hq trailer would immediately realize the remaster is way better

@ssjgcaleb Yeah but it's still the same game, and to me it's not worth paying another $60 to play it again, even with the improvements.

To me it's really not like paying $60 for the same game. Seeing as I never bought any of the dlc's, it would be more like upgrading for better textures and models for $15 and buying all the dlc I never got to.

@jclsy I didn't buy the DLC either, but I just can't bring myself to repurchase the game again. I'm still considering getting the DLC though, $15 is much more reasonable than $60.

This comparison is BS. The original was not that blurry, it looks like the footage was captured from a Youtube video.

@istuffedsunny It wasn't that blurry if you played it on an SDTV, it was VERY low res and "mushy" looking coming from PC playing on a 1080p TV. Wasn't impressed by the graphics, except for a few artistically beautiful scenes.

Two things bothered me about this.

A. The graphical differences are minimal at best.

B. Now I have to buy TLoU and it's DLC again!!! Geezus...

Regaurdless of resolution: this game on PS3 still has more detail than some current gen games...

The slightest improvements will make it even better... and FYI, the game is set to Release July 29th 2014

I had a Xbox 360 last gen, and hoped this would come to PS4. Have it preordered and super pumped. I know most on here have played it, but it's all new for me. Can't wait!!

The last time I connected with the story of a game as much as TLOU was the first time I played FFX. I'll probably get it when I get a PS4 but that probably won't be for a while yet.

To be honest it just looks to have a better resolution. What you'd expect. Hope it has better AA as I noticed just today the PS3 version has some problems with that.

@DVONvX Kinda ND's fault, Why did they choose that stuff? They could have just chosen settings and cinematics that don't involve big story moments easily. Well glad I've played through and beat the game 3 times by now and Left behind once.

for those who didn't play on ps3 and will play on ps4, there were a lot of spoilers in this video that potentially take away some of the greatness of those moments, and makes you anticipate stuff ahead of time. graphic wise, small difference, but I don't care, will play again.

I think some of the shots were overly blurry on the PS3. It's still rendering in 720p so it shouldn't look THAT bad and in addition to that I've never seen so much black crush on that console ever. Something is not right with this comparison. In any case, playing at 60 fps will make shooting snappier and smoother.

I don't md owning this for PS4. It is a great game that should have been a resale title for it.

I'm sorry but half of those ps3 shots looked a hell of a lot blurrier than they should, I wonder if they used an HDMI cable cable hooked up to the ps3 to get those caps...

@emacdaddy08 Nope, I thought TLOU on PS3 was a lot better looking than it was also. I went back just today and after playing games on PS4 as of late it does look dark and blurry in parts. Also I noticed some AA problems.

@emacdaddy08 Most likely the compression of the video is the cause.

@bunchanumbers I'd buy it... but this games multiplayer is the best part, so a movie wouldn't suffice.

I refuse to pay another 60$ over the other 60+extra mission+multiplayer extras and missions I already shelled out for the exact same game.

@Prismet Well i think there should be some incentive for those who already bought this game. It would be good if they give at least 50% discount to those who already have this game on PS3. B/W i don't have any console. I play games on PC but this game is really good and wish it could come to PC.

Doctoring graphics, spending money on a port rather than a sequel and giving no incentives to loyal fans is not pressure - it's money grabbing. Hence my post sharing my miscontentment.

This is a great purchase for new customers. As for the loyal customers like myself that paid $60 for The Last of Us on PS3 and was hoping for a backwards compatible PS4 not so much.

@Defender1978 Exactly, so I'll just have to stick to the PS3 version, because I'm not spending $120 on the same game.
