![]() ![]() Is it just a cash grab?Įven after playing a good chunk of the game, I still haven’t made up my mind on whether The Last of Us Part 1 is even really necessary. All I can say is that every little improvement – especially the accessibility ones – they mentioned is no hyperbole. I’m not gonna go into detail since you can check all of that out on the PlayStation Blog, anyway. Which stays true to how the game has been marketed so far. ![]() But the combination of the better visuals and improvements in gameplay certainly signals a ground-up rebuild. There was something about the controls on the Remaster that felt heavier than the one on the Remake. It’s a subtle change and one that may not matter to most people, but it is noticeable nevertheless. In the Remaster, the on screen elements were more colorful and it felt more gamery. The visual cues on the Remake are now in white – more in keeping with the tone and look of the game. The improved visual cues and controls help with it too. And not even this side-by-side video comparison by IGN can fully showcase the visual leap.Īfter all, the console generations are a little closer to each other than the more massive Remake that Square Enix did with Final Fantasy VII. The visual differences are very evident.įirst off, the environment, textures, and character models look and feel a lot more real on the Remake. To be able to get a frame of reference, I played the early hours of the game both on the Remake and the Remastered version. Naughty Dog, the game’s developer, and Sony PlayStation have really gone out of their way to market this as a Remake and not just another remaster. It’s a leap, and I’m glad I’m soaking in the story in this presentation. Especially for someone like myself who is used to the grind-heavy hours of JRPGs and who’s jaws dropped at 3D polygons I can control on the TV.Īnd that’s how I feel about experiencing The Last of Us Part 1 in this fully remade form. Going from that era to the PS4 was quite the leap. But I had to pull back because I became too consumed by gaming and had neglected my school work. I did most of my gaming on the original PlayStation and the PS2. I really jumped back in at the perfect time – to a point where gaming has matured quite a bit. My feelings towards gaming has been largely the same since. I inherited my brother’s PS4 as he transitioned to the PS4 Pro. It wasn’t around 2016 to 2017 that I jumped back into gaming again. At the time I was busy building my career as a media professional – covering more politics, sports, and tech over gaming. I missed nearly all of the PS3 era and the early part of the PS4 era. And at that point, I was still a few years away from really coming back to gaming.īefore I talk about my experience playing The Last of Us Part 1, I think it’s crucial to share where I’m coming from as a gamer. About a year later, a remastered version for the PlayStation 4 was released. I wasn’t doing a lot of gaming at the time it was first released which was in June 2013. The Last of Us Part 1 is my first time experiencing this critically acclaimed and generally beloved game. ![]()
