I've had a couple of glitches too, but I did in the original, and certainly it's dropped frames, but the original bounced randomly around the mid-twenties most the time.
It's all relative I guess. It's not super polished, but it's a colossal improvement over the original in basically every area, and it would make for a far better first experience I think.

Left Behind is really tough on survivor/grounded because there's really no supplies at all. I went through all the combat parts only being able to craft a health kit and nothing else, although I'm sure I missed some supplies here and there. The last combat section on grounded is really really difficult. It's satisfying, though, once you finally beat it.
Equip the brick, sneak up behind a Clicker, click Square until it's head is pulp.
Disclaimer: It will make noise and attract other Clickers. So have an escape route and hiding place planned out.
Ya, but it's really effective if you can get a straggler and then bounce to a different area. Just don't do it with other types of infected around.

I played it when it first came out and jumped straight into survivor and honestly it wasn't challenging besides the last encounter probably. All you need is patience.

im having that first experience and it's really something else.
The frame rate is solid enough that it is a rock solid 60. It's a beauty and very smooth. Feels like a PC game.

Oh man, I had no idea.
I have hit em with a thrown brick before rushing in with my melee weapon - one solid hit and they drop, but it sounds like it makes just as much noise as just bashing em to death with the brick. Still, don't have to worry about losing melee weapon durability that way. Good to know.

Oh and some quirky things Ive noticed that bug me a bit. For trying to be realistic, it is kinda silly that when you take down an human, you cant loot their gun or ammo. I know that if you could, it would almost trivialize the difficulty, but it just seems odd.
Its also funny that you walk around all quiet and stealth like, but then hey, lets drag this huge, loud ass dumpster or file cabinet. Just sucks when gameplay gets in the way of reality.
I also wish I could turn myself off. Part of the reason I don't want much TV anymore is because its completely unrealistic and I tear apart everything that's not right. I do the same thing to my daughters shows, but I direct it at the wife, not my daughter.
Anyway, still a good game so far. Really looking forward to adding another Plat to my collection.

Just got through the barrier out of the safe zone. You have to venture through the tipped over skyscraper and get out the other side. I just got out to the otherside and saw the cutscene where joel tries to tell ellie to be careful crossing the plank and she scoffs at him. Then he poignantly looks at his broken watch.

Ok guys, I'm going to try to get serious about this TLOU MP tourny. It won't be til the end of next week or so, so you'll have time to finish the story mode.
If I can get a list of 16 names of people who want to compete, I will make a new thread and get it all organized. But I want to make sure there is sufficient interest. I'm thinking I'll get some PSN credit or something for the winners.
If you want to compete, PM me. If you know others that you would want to team up with and you know they would want to as well, you can give me their names too.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
You can do it from the front too, since they can't see.
Oh man, barely scratching the surface.
I'm pretty pumped that a new audience gets a chance to play this. Obviously being exclusive has benefits, but limiting the potential audience is certainly not one of them.

Run to an area that's open and then crouch and slowly start walking away while you avoid the clickers. They'll all gather at the last area they heard your loud footsteps. Either molotov or sneak past them.

Anecdotal here as well but it is selling well. Friend tried to get a copy and all EB Games, Best Buy, and Futureshops in my city are completely sold out. Best Buy and Futureshop are also sold out online. Only Amazon.ca seems to have it in stock.
Very excited to play this again as I did not finish the PS3 version or dive into MP. I will enjoy every polygon of this game ..

Oh yeah, what's up with arrows? I thought you could retrieve them if you scored a headshot but that isn't always the case. Anyway to maximise their uses? Playing survivor so maybe they break more than usual.
And damn Clickers bobbing and weaving skills
True, but from the front you run the risk of them parrying one of the blows and then dining on your trachea.
You aren't the only one who used bricks completely wrong either. I wish I had used them more during my first normal playthrough.
As for arrows, you can miss and still have them survive. Not sure if random or if it is based on how they hit the ground, either after killing an enemy or from striking the wall/ground.

Yeah, when there are loads of Clickers I smash a bottle in a certain area, run away and wait for them all to gather in that one place then lob a molotov. Hilariously satisfying.
Same. I've had some really egregious pop-in and weird issues with reflections. Also some choppy FPS in spots where nothing is going on.
Also had some of the NPC AI warp in weird ways that I never saw on PS3. The 6 month dev time was clearly an issue.
It's still better than most games but it's weird going through it now when the PS3 version had very few visible bugs.
If you're unseen and you start battering their head with a brick, they won't counter you. They only parry you when you attack them when they are aware of you.
It was a year.

Bottle + Molotov is my tactic of choice for a crowd of baddies
Ahhh that makes sense. Guess I started getting cocky on my Grounded run last night then.
They started coding in February.
You are both right. Kind of. It took them to January to get the engine to work on the PS4. Once they had a workable engine they could transition to the enhancements while fixing bugs and other streaming issues. The engine transition was the hard part of them and ate up a good chunk of time. The last six months was the rest.
You have to complete every chapter at the Grounded difficulty to earn the trophy. So any earlier chapters would need to be redone to get it. At least that's based on how the game applies it to each chapter and allows the NG+ glitch to work.

"We started working on it pretty much as soon as we finished the PS3."
http://www.theverge.com/2014/7/29/5945427/how-naughty-dog-brought-the-last-of-us-to-the-PS4
"While ports of classic games for new consoles is a decades-old trick, Naughty Dog faced a massive challenge getting the game ready for its summer launch. "We did not have a PlayStation 4 engine capable of running anything on January 1st, 2014," says Gyrling, who spearheaded PS4 development at the studio. "The Last of Us shipped in June of 2013, but we didnt start writing any code or move people over to working on the remaster until February of 2014.""
I've heard multiple things from different interviews. As far as I can tell they started thinking about it soon after launch, didn't start engine work until December, and it took them until February to even have a buggy, laggy, ugly version of the game running on PS4.
Well, you guys have done it. PS4 Last of Us bundle is on the way from Amazon as we speak!
Was waiting for a good bundle to buy it and this seems like the best one to start my PS4 adventure. I didn't get The Last of Us for PS3 as games that run under 30FPS tend to ruin my gameplay. I'm a PC gamer first and foremost, and seeing that they made a 60FPS version with better graphics, I'm jumping on the occasion

Oops, looks like I was wrong there. I remember this statement, but thought they had a working engine earlier. Still, that's 5 months from start to gold. Pretty damn impressive for a completely different system. At least the hard work is over and all the lessons learned with getting the engine up and running will definitely help in making Uncharted 4 that much better.
Hmmm....which one to believe...

I'm playing on Hard and finding the
encounter incredibly difficult. There's not much room to avoid enemies but taking them out while staying undetected is a real challenge.

I don't know who to believe. I'm inclined to believe the video interview, because I can actually hear him talking about it, and know nothing can have been lost or editorialized, but the article is much more detailed in time scales for the process.
I don't know, a year, six months, I don't even think it matters really, it's not an accurate guide to man hours without the staff size anyway.
Both stories don't seem to make sense in the context of this helping the UC4 engine either, given it should have been up and running so long before either story claims the process began.

brightness seems really off. i know some other people posted earlier in the thread
know i have my ps4 and tv set properly to use the same rgb mode. made me confused because the game seemed like it was crushing blacks but then i switched rgb modes between full and limited on the ps4 and i could tell that the shadow detail would get even worse when the ps4 didn't match up with my tv setting.
bumping brightness up to the highest helped a little but makes outdoor scenes seem a little too bright. yuck

Either UC4 wasn't nearly as far along as we thought it was at the time or the crunch time spent on getting TLoU working on the PS4 gave them additional knowledge and techniques to optimize the engine they already have. There have been comments of how to best use multi-threading with the PS4's GPU and their experience with both the PS3 and how this game was originally built helped applying that to the new console.
