The Last of Us: Remastered |OT| Game of the Years

Grounded mode has no checkpoints??!

Holy fuck! Bring it On!!!!

Edit:



I thought that this game had absolutely no pre-loading. Or does pre-loading really only apply to those who buy it through eu psn?

No, Grounded mode has checkpoints - they're just further apart. I found this out rather frustratingly lol.

In real life? Of course. Ambient light still comes from somewhere, and a decent radiosity / ambient occlusion model would mimic how the light is absorbed by different surfaces including their bodies. It's also far too expensive to do an exhaustive job of so we will probably see limited applications or rough approximations at this generation.
Yup, and TLoU has quite decent approximation already.

Ok, this remaster is going to take some getting used to for me. They remapped shooting to R2, in fact all of the shoulder buttons are mapped differently. Like for instance whereas sprint used to be on L2, its now on L1. I know - people like to shoot with the triggers. But I'm used to the old control scheme. I guess I'll adjust.

edit: Ah. Apparently you can use the old scheme if you prefer. But I'll at least try out the new scheme.

Can't you switch it back to the original controls?
 
So glad I held out playing the PS3 version.

Ok so I'm planning to play through the game 3 times (again):
  • Hard + Listen Mode off to get a feel of the game again.
  • Hard+ + Listen Mode off with the commentary on, will get all collectibles and dialogue trophies during this playthrough.
  • Grounded, didn't play this mode on PS3 and people say it's brutal so I'll leave it for last.

Man, I say all these things during our press tour and nobody writes about them? What do I pay them for? (kidding!)

Commentary track is Troy, Ashley, and Neil -- all recorded after PS3 development wrapped up. Actually, funny story is that was the first time Troy and Ashley had seen the final completed cutscenes as it would be shown in the game.

With the commentary, is it going to automatically triggered automatically by the game or will the user have some sort of control over it with something similar to how Valve does theirs?

So we just watched Children of Men. That is such a good movie! We watched 28 Weeks Later earlier this week. Getting in that post apocalyptic fix. I think The Road is going to be next.



They have to save something for the sequel. If they don't add it for that then I am just gonna burn the place down!

basically just made a list of my favorite movies

I wouldn't be in any The Last of Us threads, if that was the case for me.

There's too much that can be accidentally spoiled, and plenty of time.

I was a few minutes away from from being spoiled in the last thread, but I still keep on checking anyway :(

Oh man she's so beautiful.. <3

So Neil came by my desk earlier to talk about something and I had photo mode up and he started playing around with it. I left, came back a while better and he left this beauty up on the screen.

So here you go... a photo mode screenshot personally composed by Neil.

Yeah Children of Men is one of my favorite movies ever, and 28 Days Later is amazing as well. I'd lower my expectations for The Road if I were you though, it's vastly inferior to the novel it's adapted from, and the other movies you just watched. It has some very good scenes, but they're scattered amongst some really bad ones.

The Road was fucking terrible, especially compared to the book. Even if I hadn't read the book beforehand I STILL would've thought the movie was a steaming pile of shit.

Oh I've seen it already. I agree, it is not the greatest but it really does hit that same dark, gritty tone as The Last of Us IMO. Being a parent though it kicks me square in the pants. Basically the whole movie I can't help but imagine how I would handle the same scenario.

Unfortunately I don't think there are any decent post apocalyptic/pandemic type movies I haven't seen. I could really use some fresh meat!

Yay, just got the review copy! I held out on the PS3 version, what can I expect to be different/better and what should I look out for?
