Yes, I'm still alive :D While the news is still fresh, figured I might as well share some thoughts on The Last of Us Part 1 Remake. I won't be making any promises, but I may start posting some more videos like this again in the future when good occasions may arrive. As explained in the video however, my main focus for a year now has become my other channel where I've been uploading reaction videos on a daily basis. You can check it out here should you be interested: kzbin.info/door/X1sfpc5yQksw3EpAape6eg. Thanks for watching!

[@sh_2426]

Your react channel is awesome but it’s really cool to see you back here again if if it’s only for a little while.

[@dr12evil]

I hope you make this same video when gta5 is remade for the PS5 and Xbox series x and when cyberpunk 2077 is also remade for current gen systems

[@knleonhart]

P**** oyo can come back for RE4, yes?

[@jayrising442]

Allow me too sum it up for you. You will never buy another PS3 game again. Sony will continue to remake PS3 games, to resell them like this for PS5. It's just that simple, it's business. "Who asked for this game?" Literally nobody is the awnser. However the community is asking for PS3.... PS3.... PS3!!!! So instead of releasing them on the PlayStation store cheap for PS5 only. Their going this route to charge $70. They will slowly convert most PS3 games, all the great ones, to PS5 titles.

[@guillaumecollins548]

I’m glad you are speaking your mind.. There is nothing wrong by telling all of us how you feel… thanks for having the gonads to hold these trolls accountable…I used to love Naughty Dog , now if they were breathing their last breath , I would walk past them and go eat a subway sandwich..

[@TerranIV]

It is insane that Sony is remaking this game when there are so many PS3 games, like Infamous 1 & 2, that are not playable on PS5, and that so many fans would kill to get a remake of! How much you wanna bet that Sony says that because sales for Last of Us remake "didn't meet expectations" some remake fans have been dying to play on PS5 will be canceled?

[@sillkthashocker]

They were going to do an Uncharted 1 remake but switched to this instead, 70 for Uncharted 1 remake makes a little more sense

[@sakuragi1062]

Infamous doesn’t need a remake remaster like Nathan Drake’s collection is good enough for infamous plus the last of us remake makes more sense than Infamous because the HBO show is coming the remake is a good marketing for the show because the show is base on the first game.And the people who watch the show but didn’t play the first game might ended buying the remake.Infamous ip needs to rest its not their biggest ip plus Ghost of tsushima is what matters now than Infamous

[@thebrandalorian8271]

I feel the same way: I'm trying to get through a backlog of games I never got around to when they launched. These are all games from the last five or so years. Something is definitely different. The quality from game to game, as an immersive experience, is going to the wayside in favor of being trendy or catering to nostalgia. Every game feels the same.

[@OmegaRejectz]

If this was a $10 upgrade for owning the PS4 remaster it would've been criticized but probably could've also been praised. However, them charging SEVENTY dollars, which is MORE than the original game, which had to make all the environments, the character models, record the dialogue, direct how scenes would play out, dialogue, which areas the character would encounter, how the game would play, the games mechanics, the weapons chosen, the enemy designs, etc from scratch is inexcusable. I'll be voting with my wallet, and hope that any one even somewhat on the fence to hold off. I'm hoping this remake doesn't sell like hotcakes because then it'll be nothing but shoddy remakes for all eternity.

[@Publiksquare]

It is not more than the original game. Adjusted for inflation it is less. Inflation is skyrocketing at the moment which is why everything is surging in price. This is not a video game issue it's a worldwide economic issue

[@OmegaRejectz]

@@Publiksquare Except when inflation lowers the prices of video games (among every other thing) will NOT lower. It will stay the same price. Also, how does the games price increasing as an affect of inflation affect a majority of the points I brought up?

[@MattashiComposer]

Well you can’t really do remakes for eternity, you will run out of games to remake eventually lol

[@dr.sivavignesh664]

The AAA space had died off long ago. But the indie space is booming with excellent single player titles. I've played a few and found them to be excellent. Katana zero , jet lancer , Hong Kong massacre , deaths door , little nightmares 1 and 2 , hades , 12 minutes , ghost runner , Servered steel , inside , mark of the ninja they were all great. Some even better than AAA releases. AAA games and big company games are either driven by their greedy CEO s or so called fanboys. The indie is where lies innovation.

[@Hohum1945]

Its good to see you back on your main channel Robin feel like its been years 🤣✌

[@ItsProDino]

Hey Robin, just had to say that I've been subbed for many years. Just had to say that you've been such a friendly face to see not only back then, but now. You're like the genuine, good times, nostalgia KZbinr for me. Anyway, glad ur back for a sec, gonna watch the vid now! *After Watching* There's a lot to cover but essentially I agree 100% with your takes. These past couple years have been so dry and unenjoyable. The $70 price tag is really just odd, especially since it seems that every game company is facing backlash for at least one thing. So to make such a bold ask is really weird. The only game I've really felt like I could spend $70-100 like you said for a genuine quality game was Elden Ring. Despite being Dark Souls, it really felt like a structured, solid game (and I'm not really big in souls games either). The only way this remake and price tag would make sense and 100% sell millions is if this was the one and only remake we get, no remaster. Generally, I wouldn't say it's a waste of resources since we get to see a nostalgic story retold, but again, as you said, we. don't. need. it. It's time for something new. The game industry has def been pushed in a direction that the majority of gamers can''t really follow anymore. Game livestreams (Game Awards, E3) are stuck in a "modernized past" where they constantly try to announce games that people just don't fall for any more like they did in the og xbox and PlayStation and Wii days. Starfield is a prime example too. This game has been floating around for years and when we finally get a trailer, it's unironically in 5 fps (I know it's Bethesda but the idea is still the same). Anyway, those are my thoughts (pretty exact to yours). Glad to have you back once again and as for the direction of ur channel, just follow how you feel, especially with you're idea of choosing vid worthy news and rando topics. Happy to see ya whenever! Have a good day brother . ✌

Thanks so much dude. That really means a lot to me to hear. Honestly, seeing the positive response to this video already really makes me think "why did I ever even leave?".

[@MartinKusimo]

19:14 - That brought a smile to my face because this channel itself brings me nostalgia. You were indeed the biggest ambassador for Naughty Dog multiplayer games - and respectively their single player aspects too of course. It's quite trendy to critique Naughty Dog games and the studio's decisions now... But you were doing it wayyy back when, as early as 2011 or so. I often chimed in on an older KZbin channel I had and if I remember right, you dropped some comments and support on my videos too. Furthermore, while I did know about your second channel, I didn't know you would delve into that type of content. I am also enjoying Better Call Saul and ALSO had a prejudice towards anime 🤣. I mean, I still kinda do. But Death Note, which was my first anime I completed after YEARS of being begged to give it a chance, is absolutely a blast haha! Will definitely go over and subscribe.

[@M1GarandMan3000]

Robin, I'm with you on singleplayer experiences! Those are the heart and soul of the video game, and it's a shame when someone like EA and DICE won't take the time and effort to make a long, solid, and meaningful singleplayer campaign that makes you feel like you've accomplished something grander than yourself. I have a feeling the next video game crash is nigh.

[@Tyler_W]

I can see a crash happening, although not because of the industry itself, but because I think the US is probably heading for Great Depression 2: Inflation Boogaloo territory in the not too distant future.

[@Ceeee]

Nice to hear from you about this. Classic feeling

[@gueeds23]

This game didn’t need a remake since it already has a PS4 version that works perfectly fine on PS5. I’m wondering how much modern AAA development is sustainable when games take 5-7 years and AAA publishers like Activision and Bethesda have to get acquired. Remakes are definitely easier to churn out and make money quickly.

[@thedeadlyplanteater2213]

Good to see you back on the main channel again! Are you going to stream any time in the future?

Agreed 100% . This is just a money grab by Sony.

[@TheWorldOfVideoGamingOfficial]

The Remake is NOT a waste of ressources, as they are creating assets for the factions game and this remake in one go and they are working with the tech of part II. That is why they can ship this game n 2 years.

[@Krommer1000]

There's probably a chance they'll add something to make it tie into the 2nd game more.

[@Gentamoru]

ofc they'll add Abbie's dad. Maybe try to give more feeling to it or something.

[@endorbr]

Based on the video Naughty Dog released recently about what the remake includes, they didn’t add a single thing to the story nor did they change the level design, gameplay mechanics, or anything that isn’t cosmetic, related to haptic feedback, or AI improvements. It will have smoother and prettier gameplay, better audio, Dualsense features and an AI that’s a bit more reactive. That’s about it. Nothing worth $70 and nothing that will drastically change the experience for anyone that’s already played through it 2-3 or more times like a lot of people.

[@PhazeyBlur]

I wonder if they at least changed the surgeon's skin color to conform more to Abby's dad's? Also did they remove the beams of flashlights behind Joel's back during the surgeon confrontation just like in 2nd game's flashback to make Joel's decision less justified?

[@jakep148]

[@Susanoo7108]

I'm curious how this game came to be because I've heard stories that another Sony first party studio wanted to remake Uncharted Drake's Fortune initially but it would've been too expensive to make. After that rejection they proposed remaking TLOU and were working on it until Sony decided to give the project to Naughty Dog instead. Someone at Digital Foundry said this game will supposedly be a "pipe game", a game more meant to get the employees familiar with the new hardware so that their next project can push the envelope more (like how the Remastered in 2014 helped prepare them to push the envelope with Uncharted 4, Lost Legacy, and TLOUII. Again, those were rumours I heard but who knows, because for a team like Naughty Dog I don't think they'd put themselves into a scenario like this without getting something beneficial out of it, whether it be experience with the hardware or experience with the new management in thier efforts to stop crunch (which they succeeded, Thank goodness).

Welcome back… still following you over on the other channel so u never left 😁

[@builttoscalevideos]

Tbh the only people I really see benefitting from this release will be the people who actively used the accessibility features of Part 2, those accessibility features lowkey do make me want to try out a completely blindfolded playthrough of it to see how different the experience is. But other than that, all it really is, is 70 bucks (130 Australian if you can believe) for what is essentially The Last of Us Remastered in a new engine with slightly improved AI and no Multiplayer, Dodge, or prone. And on the subject of Dodge and Prone, I don't really buy the excuse that they didn't want to include it because it was never part of the original vision for the game. Cause really early gameplay footage of the first game shows a build where at least Dodging was a planned mechanic, you can look it up, and as for Prone I don't really see how that would be a gamebreaking thing, if anything it would/should have added more variety to how you can approach any given situation, and it would make the AI even more tough to get around, as they would have to check under trucks, in tight corners, behind dumpsters. having Prone was what gave Part 2's gameplay such insane variety, so it certainly feels strange that they went to the effort to build the game in part 2's engine, but didn't bother to try and rebuild some of the encounters to account for Prone crawling. I dunno, for me I think I'll wait for the 10th Anniversary next year to pick it up cause maybe there will be a big enough price drop at that point. seems odd to me that they didn't save this game for the 10th Anniversary anyway.

The return of the king

[@killakrab]

I agree about gaming being at a standstill right now. I’ve sorta unintentionally moved away from gaming as it seems like now the only games I play are catalog titles that I’ve already played countless times. I feel like even in the multiplayer spectrum, games have just not been any fun to play right now. I really have no idea what people who are still actively playing games now are even playing. For example call of duty has been on the back burner recently, same with battlefield. It seems to me like people are just playing games that have already been popular for the past 5 or more years such as GTA. At this point I don’t even remember when I actually left gaming but I’m pretty sure it was after the last of us 2 because that was the last big thing I remember playing. And that was like 2 years ago at this point. Maybe it’s just coincided with me growing up and finding interest in other things but it’s really unfortunate.

[@Zack_Mee_Nhatz]

Very smartly said Mr. Robin, your words live up with the name Robin. Your insight did give a new smart POV which alot of the podcast ive listened to in regards w/ the topic did not even comprehend. Gracias amigo.

I agreed with them not including multiplayer in the Nathan Drake Collection, and I still agree with it now as well as this. It doesn't make any sense to split your player base. If PS4/PS5 players want to play the old factions, it's free on PS+ anyway. Also, Uncharted 4 multiplayer was awesome.

[@GamingWithSpoons]

Sony has become the pinnicle of the problem. I hate how most games just turn into a walking simulator with large expositions of dialogue just talking about the games story and what happens..I remember the complaints being about cutscenes and feeling like they were a movie I'd much rather have that than just walk.

[@awesomeme9093]

Its so amazing to see you again!!!! Ive been keeping up with you since 2014, its so refreshing to see you back on this channel! Looking forward to your upcoming content, whenever it comes out :) Honestly, I feel the same way. The remake looks amazing graphically, but it seems pretty clunky gameplay wise, similar to the fist. The didnt redo the gameplay like they implied, the shading looks too dark, there's nothing new added. Its not really a remake, just a graphical remaster. Coat the old graphics with the new and sell it. The gaming industry has been heading that bad direction, and I think Naughty Dog themselves are trying to lead that charge. The way they made the DLC for U4 become standalone, the way they wouldn't add factions to TLOU2 and made it standalone, the start of the tlou tv show and remake, the way they didnt add multiplayer to the nathan drake collection, its crazy. Not a single other developer is doing anything similar to this. Theyre actively splitting up their products into pieces and selling them bit by bit. Theres not a single promise that's been made by Naughty Dog in the past 7 years that hasnt been broken and/or mixed in with lies. Moreover, theyre the only ones who've been smug about it. All developers talk up their games and projects, that's not wrong. But look at their responses to any criticism they've gotten. Its crazy to say the least.

Totally agree with you on the state of gaming. People who buy these remasters are to blame for why Sony are releasing less this generation. Why create new games when you got ip's that people who see themselves as hardcore fans of the game will buy simply just for a collector's edition. Why not create a whole new last of us story? it's crazy. Gaming has becoming boring for a lot of the time for me personally. Two games I'm looking forward to are god of war Ragnarok and Callisto protocol. Not much else to look forward to.

[@dysectorza]

This remake is NOT for the general PS players who have already played either the PS3 or the PS4 versions. This remake is for new comers who have never played the game before, people who are going to be watching the new TV show and want to play the game for the first time and for the PC players (once ported to PC) who have never played it and of course the super fans. Those are the only reasons they are doing this remake. The PC port is most likely the biggest driver to get this game updated and re-released. Can you imagine if they just ported the PS4 remaster onto PC as it is today? Do you think a 10 year old game and graphics would sell on PC in that state? People would be like WTF is this PC port. Sony probably want new versions of TLOU Part 1 and 2 released on PC as this TV show starts airing to drive up sales, etc. I won't be buying this day one, as I've played the PS3 and PS4 versions already. When it eventually comes to PS Plus, I'll probably play it. I am not spending any money on this. Vote with your wallet. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

[@habadasheryjones]

All the noise about this remake reminds me of when a bunch of Steam users decided to form a boycott group for COD MW2 in 2009 because the game wouldn't have dedicated servers. Wanna take a guess what 99% of that boycott group was doing on launch day? Playing their copies of MW2. Chances are if someone is complaining about a game out loud like they do in these comment sections, they'll still get it on launch. Whether its out of hypocrisy or "wanting to be part of the conversation," they'll grab a copy. The people that actually won't be buying this game already made their decision weeks ago and moved on. You aren't hearing from them anymore. Its just the future sales talking in these parts.

[@ScottCh-dw7ig]

My only answer would be that it's not a waste of resources based on the amount the game will sell. Once the TV show comes out, it could reach a million new people (just a random number). It might spark the interest of people who have never played the game and want to give it a try. Now they don't have to buy a 10 year old game, a polished brand new version is there waiting to be played, along with TLOU2.

[@sae7051]

Shoulda put their resources into remaking uncharted 1-3. I wouldn’t say those games necessarily need remakes but they definitely don’t hold up as well as last of us

[@lemming9984]

I'm an Oldie. In the 80s when I first started playing games (Intellivision) games were made by gamers for gamers. Since gaming is now mainstream and it's a huge industry, the monied parasites have taken over - especially the big publishers Activision, EA, Ubi etc. These companies make games purely for profit for the shareholders - rather than making a product they can be proud of. Endlessy remastering old games is the cheaper easier thing to do and the expected profit is huge.

[@bob_0146]

Virtually everyone I have seen talking about this focuses on "they should have included this or that" and fails to see the bigger picture. At the end of the day, if this is supported, more of these "remakes" will follow. I am saddened to see that the universal condemnation of the gta5 remasters have not been consistant with naughty dog. The acceptance that this is fine really concerns me and solidifies my fears of this industry. At the end of the day, I hate to say it but gamers are destroying it possibly without knowing it.

[@captaincrunch1707]

GTA5 remaster was $10 for the single player portion for the 45 million PsPlus users. That’s an absolute nothing burger compared to this $70 trash fire

[@OldMusicHeaven]

I dont think remakes are neccesarily a bad thing. They do have their place when they are done right. My main examples of how a remake should be done are the Resident Evil Remakes and Final Fantasy 7, while they aren't perfect they add enough new content to justify their existance but such is not the case with The Last of Us remake sadly which is more of a remaster of a remaster but yea i get what you're saying. I think games should only be remade if they really need to be remade like if the game is really outdated or if its on an older console that is not relevant anymore and The last of us doesnt fit any of those criterias the game has aged extremely well and it already has a remaster on ps4 aswell.

Holy shit, a robingaming video

[@titoxprogr11]

Glad to see you back man :) been watching for like 10 years now, I could say that I grow up with you

[@Mokysa]

Nice to hear from you man, really missed you.

[@mvxsdreams]

Oh wow, didn't expect a new video, a welcome surprise. Got so used to hearing you talk about anime that it almost feels surreal seeing you talk about gaming again 🤣. But hey, at least we got the Plague Tale sequel coming, which is cool for us linear story based games fans. Love the new approach on the second channel btw.

[@tmac326]

This remake was nothing more than just a way to get the franchise back into the minds of the public, to fill the void of lack of new content from ND, to appease people who hated Part 2 and as a means to market the show to the fans and the game to the fans of the show. That said, this is the best version of the game minus the fact that it doesn’t include factions, the melee combat feels more weighty and slow and (in my opinion) Tess looks too old.

Yes your back I'm glad you're back man

[@h4wk10]

It's nice to see you talking about games again! :D

[@orlandoRoach7]

Good to see you back man, keep uploading, I love your videos and stay safe 👍.

[@xXSonTJXx]

I didn’t know you had a 2nd channel! Missed your content!

[@Bass7am]

Although I am following you on your other channel regularly Yet I felt that you were gone for long time Hope you upload regularly on this channel

[@Obi-Twan]

I'm gonna pick the remake up when it's aroud 40 - 50 euro. Still excited to play it because of the graphics and dual sense features and haven't played it since the original on ps3. Some people are too harsh on this remake while they praise the demon souls remake that did almost the same for a full price.

[@Greysprunkiyay]

OG Demons souls wasn’t playable on PS4 or PS5 until the remake so it’s not anywhere near the same comparison. Not even close

[@diglo123]

Comparing the demon souls remake to the last of us remake is fucking absurd. That game clearly needed to be ported on modern hardware.

The real argument people are making is " I didn't ask for this and nothing should ever happen that isn't about or for me"

[@sh_2426]

The legend finally returns

[@mediamaniac898]

Amen! If it cost less, and included EVERYTHING the 2014 remaster did, and is built from “the ground up”, I could get behind it. But it doesn’t look all that different.

[@3lipalm3r]

Dang! It’s been a while, you always speak my mind man.

[@renostheflash]

He’s back, now i can die in peace..

[@VenomousBAndre]

Happy to see you return robin. 🙂

[@SaberRexZealot]

Tbh I would’ve been totally fine with just PC ports for Part 1 and 2. This remake looks nice but I already liked the way the original looked and played, plus it had the factions mode by default, instead of having to buy it separately.
