While the game undoubtedly looks better and I'm sure runs better on the PlayStation 4, it is amazing that Naughty Dog could make a game look and run that good on the PS3, it just shows that they are one of the best in the business.

That depends. If they actually did spend a lot of time and effort in making it. They're idiots. However, it could just be pure marketing talk. Personally, I don't believe it took as much work as they're letting on.

So if it's that easy, why didn't something like GT6 launch on both consoles at the same time? I mean, it can't be that hard to make a PS3 game run on PS4, right?

I think you know that that isn't true. And there is a market for this game. Take me, for example. I owned the game (I have since given it away) for PS3 and completed the main story once. Unfortunately, my PS3 is an old "phat" model and now sounds like a vacuum cleaner when running certain games. At this point, I don't really want to fork out for a replacement, so I want to keep my ps3 running for as long as possible. In other words, I only use it for games I can't experience anywhere else.

Of course, I'm not going to rebuy every game for the PS4, but I will buy those extra special ones that I really enjoyed. TLOU: R falls into that category. Lastly, it's been speculated that one of the reasons that Naughty Dog made the remaster themselves is because Sony wanted developer input with regards to porting game engines from cell to current architecture. Naughty Dog no doubt contains the best programmers at Sony's disposal and they welcomed the challenge.

My point in the last post was that 50 dollars is still a ridicules price for a game that isn't new.

Currently discounted from $39 to $28 on Amazon... Even if we assume that $28 will soon become it's regular price, it's still a good deal considering this version doesn't include any DLC, such as left behind. Left behind alone costs $14.99 bringing the total price to $43.99... But then there's other DLC... I think you see where I'm going with this...

Sure, if you just want to play the vanilla version of tlou (and skip left behind), then the PS3 version is the cheapest. If you want to get the DLC, it's cheaper to buy the (much) better looking and running (60 fps) ps4 version.
 
Yeah, I doubt a port is that easy when ND take full advantage of PS3. Games like Tomb Raider have a full PC version to use on the new consoles. Also they got it running at 1080p and most importantly 60fps with improved textures.

TLOU isn't perfection PS3, it drops quite far below 30fps and has lots of jaggies. I'm just not playing a game running like that. I said I'll wait for the PS4 version long before PS4 was even a thing.

Data also shows many 360 owners have bought a PS4 in the US, 360/PS3 had a huge disparity over there, so many missed out.

I'd also imagine ND are very proud of the game and want to see it at its best. PS4 is said to have a much better controller and often old consoles fade out pretty quick when something new comes, people don't want to use it. The code is very fresh in their minds and a good test on PS4.

When I get a PS4 it will be the first game I get.

This music was taken from the Pun Book scene in Left Behind and slightly edited a bit. So far it's my favourite song from The Last of Us, and it's not even an official one! I can listen to it on repeat over and over again and not get tired of it.

Photomode video from playstation...

Essentially the same functionality and options as with Infamous: Second Son. I liked how that photomode worked.

I am a bit concerned that it only seems to have an option to upload and not save to USB - maybe it's there but they didn't mention it, what with all developers seeming to assume that everyone has a FB account or cannot conceive of doing something without involving social media.
 
Right arguably a very stupid question, but should I buy or rent this? (I know it is game of the previous generation)
 
For me, it's worth owning. I've played through it numerous times, and will again.

I might even buy it again, when I get a PS4, who knows.

It depends. If you don't plan to play the game but once and have the time to finish it fairly soon then rent it. If your plan is to play a few times and get the dlc than buy it. Either way its a good game and you should give it a play. Maybe you can pick up a used copy that's probably the best bet.

So it has good replay value? and is the Multiplayer any good? (Thanks in advance)

@fatkrakr plan on getting the PS4 one (didn't get it on PS3)

Honestly never tried the online part. It definitely has replay value, and leaves me wanting more, every time I finish it. Probably one of the most solidly written stories of any game I've ever played.

Pre-ordered a few hours ago :D
 
If anyones ordered theirs from Gamestop UK like me, have you received yours yet?

I got an email late last night saying it'd been shipped. Got to work this morning and it's now sat on my desk!
 
I now have conflicting emotions. I just finished Left Behind on Grounded mode. But in order to do that, I had to play Left Behind. Now I'm sad. :(
 
Been playing this over the weekend and boy was that £9 well spent!

The graphics are noticeably better and it runs so much smoothere at 60fps! It's going to be a joy playing through this again.

And the absolute best thing about it being on PS4. The controller lights up green! My favourite colour.
