This made me laugh. Bravo. *snort*
Same here.
It simply looks like some white semi-transparent smudge overlay across the screen that does few things in the same time:
- simply overwashes all blacks on the screen
- almost disables all contrast
- increases brightness in blacks only (as you would in Photoshop if using "Selective Color > Black" for instance)
- and make complete image horrific
Once you simply turn around the corner where there is some source of light - bam - everything is fine.
It is getting me crazy. I am at the starting in-buildings part with
Ellie
4 walkers and 1 Clicker
No single game on PS3/PS4 gave me such headaches with playing in dark areas, not even Metro.
Thank you for your invaluable advice.
I was so stupid.
I have no idea about setting both my console and my TV.
I have never thought about painstaking adjustments of both consoles and TV to get the best picture possible. I also never invested serious money in my visual equipment nor cared to have it calibrated to minuscule details so I can have proper balance of brightness / contrast / black sub-tones / grey mid-tones / white-balance values.
You sir are genius.
Do you happen to have post 2012 Panasonic plasma BTW? Because if not, you have no damn idea what are we discussing about.
I just got the same report error screen then. It has only happened once so far.
Just because you apparently don't have an issue doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Don't be daft.
Grounded mode is incredible! I had to do the same section a few times but didn't care because the mistakes I made were mine and not the fault of the game. Feels so much more immediate when you can only take a shot or two and are terribly low on ammo. Scrounging around for that ONE bullet and then slowly plotting your attack against two enemies in riot gear was palm sweatingly intense.

No, definitely a bug. Some people are having problems with the visuals.

Oh lawwd I hear the game has arrived but won't be home for a while.

Hopefully Naughty Dog sees these and decides to do a bit more work on it for the patch. I feel like this should have been baked for another month:

Also while changing photo mode perhaps?
I just had the same error AGAIN and once again triggered by shuffling through the color filters. Only difference now is that I'm in a completely different place.
I'm starting to get the feeling that my photo mode is broken. I'm gonna test it once more, hopefully I'm wrong
Edit: Yep! Loaded my save, went into photo mode right away and went through all colour filter options. As soon as it goes back to "None", error code CE-34878-0.

I love photomode so much.
dont listen to apoligists nd, fix this gamma shit.
the subway section is especially horrible, dont remember it being that bad on ps3.
other than that,
game looks and feels great.
my hard run on ps4 feels much easier than it did on ps3
probably has to do with added responsiveness from 60fps
should have gone with survivor

Sharing from the photo mode isn't working for me either at the moment.
I just tried sharing a screenshot to Twitter and that seemed to work fine.
Ughh I really hope this bug doesn't stick around the rest of my playthrough

Just starting playing, was definitely more impressed with the PS3 version for the hardware it was running on, because the PS4 is a lot more powerful you can't help but be a bit more critical with IQ etc, end of the day I know it takes a lot to run what I'm seeing @ 1080p/60fps but my eyes expect more, anyway that being said I'm still enjoying the game.

For some reason I feel like they needed more time working out the kinks; you can see the seams sort of popping through where they tore it out of the PS3 framework and stitched it back together on the PS4. A bit oversimplified, to be sure, but I just feel like it needed some more QA testing. The way it sounds, it looks like they put this version together in four months or so.
And yes, the PS3 version was more impressive due to the fact that it was running on 7 year old hardware. The glitchy visuals/pop-in that we're demonstrating in this thread should be a non-issue on the PS4 (a lot of this stuff I never saw happen on the PS3 version).
I had a really, REALLY odd visual bug happen in the scene where you
run down the road to hop in the back of the truck that Ellie got running, and when it cut over to the scene of us driving away with the infected running behind it, all of the animations just sort of froze into place and it looked like a bunch of cardboard cutouts chasing after the truck.

They actually did, in 5 months.
There are some bugs still, and hopefully ND sorts those kinks out.

Has anyone tweeted ND about the night sections being too dark? I wonder if it's a bug or if it was intentional. Hopefully it's a bug and they'll patch it.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
60fps actually suits this game pretty well, was worried it would be a little jarring and too fast like Sniper Elite 3 but other then it being smooth you can't really tell it 60fps, 30fps is terrible which is jarring as I've just come from a game running at 30fps and it was smooth, TLOU is very choppy at 30fps.
So the trophies for the collectables, do these need to be grabbed all in one run? Or is it like Bioshock Inifinite where I could play through multiple times and grab the ones I missed?
I seem to recall the PS3 version requiring you to grab them all in one go, which simply ruins the experience of the game trying to trophy hunt in the most dire of circumstances.

Well, I just had

I could sit here and nitpick the port, but, really, I am just happy to be playing through TLOU with such crispness and clarity in the IQ. Plus, it's given me something to distract me until Destiny comes out.

Was about to ask the same thing. I already missed two collectibles because I couldn't open two shiv doors and apparently I have to kill a bloater for a Firefly pendant now. Problem is, I'm playing on grounded and I really can't waste any ammo.
I read that you can replay chapters and grab the stuff that you missed and it will count. Is that confirmed?
Me too. Once I got to that section, I put the game down for the night... I'm not ready for that sort of trauma yet.
I sent you a pm with the same message but I will post it here as well as its good advice.
set your ps4 video settings all to Automatic. now go to the in game brightness settings in the last of us and lower the gamma setting meter all the way down. You should be able to see the darkest colors in the calibration image if your tv is calibrated correctly.
Also..just a pro tip, do not use game mode, switch to THX mode as it actually has lower input lag than Game mode believe it or not. Also has the most accurate color reproduction.
the problem with the last of us, the default gamma settings is way off so it needs to be turned all the way down to have acceptable gamma or you will experience the white washed out look in dark scenes.
hope this helps.
It would be nice to go through by chapter. I'm doing a Normal run, and intended to find everything, but didn't want to be tied to a guide when I'm just trying to be immersed in the game. Which means I missed one thing in the opening chapters.
I plan to play Grounded+ next, and I simply won't be exploring too much on a higher difficulty.

Interesting, i'll try this out later today. The gamma was absolutely fucked during the part i was playing yesterday.
From what I have been told, the game registers all conversations, jokes, artifacts, shiv doors, comics, firefly tags from your previous play. The only thing is in NG+ you cannot see any of those items in your backpack, so you'll have to use the collectibles list from the main menu to see which ones you have missing. But as far as I know, you can use chapter select to finish those off as well (since I missed so many on my first playthrough, I'm just getting them on my NG+ run).
Also, I don't think you can jump to grounded+ if you've only done normal...unless there's a glitch I don't know about lol.
I'm on a Panny PZ85u plasma and I haven't noticed anything unusual. The only segment that bothered me was the subway tunnels filled with spores. Couldn't see a thing.

Just completed the game on hard and Wow! What a fantastic game. ND please make TLOU 2.
Might play it on easy for the comics etc. Not sure if I am willing to play the game on higher difficulties.

I was wondering this too last night. I waited around 10-15 minutes after putting the disc in, thinking it had finished installing (I like to wait until a game has fully installed before playing), but the disc was still spinning even after I started up the game. So I decided to delete it from my HDD and re-install it until the disc drive stopped spinning, which took way longer than 15 minutes. Then, when I started the game up the disc stopped spinning after a short time, like it does with every other game, and the only sound I could hear was the fans.

Sounds like a decent amount of people do not have properly calibrated TV's and are blaming ND. If your TV has a Game mode, or Movie mode, for the love of god turn it off.
In fact take it one step further, Google your TV model and Calibration Settings and try whatever you discover out. Most TV's nowadays let you save different configurations if you are really scared of it.
Really not trying to sound like a douche but there is no other way to say this without sounding like one. Especially if it is a certain brand of TV's which it sounds like it may be.

Just stop with this. All my blu-ray movies, PC, PS4, PS3, Wii-U and 360 games have never had this issue before. There's obviously something wrong with the game's gamma settings.
And game modes are generally very good. They remove all post processing to reduce latency.

I didn't know I had to check an option on twitch to archive my streams, lots of good footage and tactics lost. Guess from fall to the end will be saved. Then I'll do left behind on survivor or grounded (haven't decided yet), then grounded plus with some multiplayer between that.
There is indeed a glitch that I will be utilizing.
Are you talking about:
The subway scene with Ellie and Joel where the spores everywhere?
That was the only scene that seemed "too dark" for me but I think that is by design. The rest of the game looks perfect. At least to me.

Saw a background building with a ultra low-res texture, inverted alphas on cobwebs that looked really weird, etc.
There's some bugs here and there that were probably done through the conversion period but it takes you out a bit of the experience.
Also, this with the Sony's headphone and the Last of Us Audio settings is incredible.

I dunno, I haven't even gotten to any of the parts that some people are having issues with, I just figured if so many people are mentioning certain creaser being too washed out, maybe they should contact ND. Unless it's people's TV's not being calibrated properly...I have no idea.
Great. I'm missing 1/4 Blade to craft a full shiv that I need for opening this door that has the level 4 tool upgrade.
That's the third shiv door I've missed now and I haven't used a single shiv kill in the game.
Grounded clearly isn't joking around.
Edit: Awwwwyea I flound a blade later and the game was kind enough to let me fully backtrack to the shiv door!

A lot of people complaining here are regulars who know what they're talking about.
I'm not having those problems but I'll take their word for it.
Lord Error
Insane For Sony
Can you take a screenshot of the gamma problem. Is your TV capable and using Full RGB range? I know I'm going to hate this when I see it (Panasonic Plasma owner as well, but my TV doesn't have full RGB capability). Especially sucks as I have a feeling they've done this to alleviate black levels issue on crappier LCDs, but ruined black levels for those with good TVs.
Yes, I got the gold headset - amazing audio!

No, the issue is definitely not because of my tv calibrations.
