The Last Of Us Part 2 Remastered PS5 Review - Is It Worth It?

[@pushsquare]

So who's picking up The Last Of Us Part 2 Remastered this weekend? 🤔 - Aaron

[@gianniphipps180]

I'm in between should I purchase the upgrade or not. There's really no major difference graphically and the other game mode doesn't interest me at the moment. I honestly feel like it's a cash grab and a lot of these games are becoming that, especially remakes or remastered. Idk. Yeah it's only $10 but this remastered doesn't sit well with me...

[@xikaryo6735]

$10 upgrade, I’ll be doing that. Bought the game when it first launched and instantly loved it more than the first. The controls and combat are just leagues ahead, and the story somehow got more depressing. Love this series, I always look forward to see how much more sad it can get, just like the Game of Thrones franchise

[@matthewblankenship7968]

I just paid the 10 for ps5 remastered ..I beat this game when it came out on launch ..looking forward playing it again ..I think it’s worth the 10 ..awesome game ..

[@JADub87]

I'm ready to upgrade for $10.00 for sure. Looking forward to the new modes. Still dreading seeing The Rat King again. Sheesh!

[@Matt_H_26]

I was initially going to replay the game last year, but when I heard rumors of the remaster, I decided to hold off. I'm glad I did, the AU$20 upgrade seems a bargain for the additional content offered and work that's gone into upgrading the game.

[@XiLock_Alotx]

$10.00? Absolutely. The Roguelite mode alone is worth that price.

[@rogan1679]

A small but very noticeable difference between this game vs others is you can see your reflection in mirrors on this game. It's not that big of a deal but it is pretty cool.

[@hakangokhan9434]

Is it worth 10 dollars? Of course it is. It’s a masterpiece that runs in native 4K now. If you don’t like it then shut up and don’t buy it.

[@MassiveHappyClapper]

The game already ran in native 4k with the free patch. Watch digital foundry and see what the actual difference is.

[@TGC88]

Umm no you’re wrong. It still runs at a 1440p resolution in both the 30fps, and the 60fps. So get it right next time.

[@hakangokhan9434]

@@TGC88 taken from the description of the game from the PS website Built for the PS5, The Last of Us Part II Remastered enhances the original PS4 game in ways not possible before. Visual performance now includes native 4K. LOL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@TGC88I typically don’t argue online with randoms. But technical in depth reviews show 4K native. Not 1440p dynamic upscale. So you’re wrong. Sorry to tell ya

[@Quest4Horror]

Exactly. I’ve already completed the game twice on ps5 and I will be playing it again. I’m really looking forward to the no return mode and the lost levels. I loved the part one full remaster on fidelity mode.

[@Jamic9]

Man, one of the greatest games of all time. Of course I will be upgrading to the new version. Any excuse to play this classic title again.

[@DragonHeart613]

One of the greatest games of all-time??? 🤦

[@aleee2010]

classic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙂😂😂😂😂😂 R u 4?

[@marcbridgewater1562]

Yup definitely the best game of the last gen for sure. Not sure if it would be worth buying it at full price if you already have the PS4 original, but as $10 to upgrade, it's a steal.

[@zerox1715]

No way this is the greatest game of all time. That accolade goes to The Last of Us PT 1. The Last of Us PT 2 is the second greatest game of all time😀

[@Jamic9]

@@zerox1715 I hear you buddy. It's a tough call choosing between the two😧

[@jeffreeves3137]

Yeah basically paying 10$ for a whole new game mode and the game totally worth it. I love both games but man part 2 is an amazing emotional rollercoaster

[@HB-mj2jz]

I love The last of us one and two so much. Really my favorite games of the PS4 and still on the PS5 i guess. Love the story and the games so much that i was really disappointed in the series on HBO. They started good, but had some weird changes in it, way to less infected and missed a lot of stuff from the games. I have pre ordered the complete physical version for the PS5 even though i own the PS4 one. Usually i never rebuy games but this is an exception :)

[@KingMoeJo]

Every time I see “The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered” on KZbin, I can’t help but wonder why they call it “remastered.” The only real upgrade is the resolution to 4K, and the PS4 version still looks amazing. When “Death Stranding” came out for PS5, it was called “The Director’s Cut,” and the same goes for “Ghost of Tsushima.” TLOU Part 2 isn’t really remastered; it’s more like a Director’s Cut. Do you see what I mean? According to Digital Foundry, the performance of the remastered version is exactly the same as the PS4 version patched for PS5.

[@BaltazarRules8]

No return mode alone is worth the upgrade. Love the lost levels and the guitar free play.

[@waalex11]

I love it. Can't get enough of TLOU franchise.

[@chili2165]

I'm looking forward to it. It's a good deal and I'm excited to try it out again. Haven't played it since around it released. Gonna try the play it on survivor or grounded mode this time and perhaps go for the platinum. I'm also looking forward to try out the rougelike mode.

[@dnaglitchgaming6565]

It already runs at 60fps. If you ignore all the cut scenes its a great game and beautiful graphics/gameplay.

[@lowsodiumgamer6805]

If you have 4K Vrr capable tv play on fidelity mode with unlocked frame rate trust

[@blue-nv7di]

I didn't play tlou 2 until now so is there any difference if i buy tlou 2 ps4 version and ps5 remaster ( but i dont have ps5 i just want to make sure i get the version bc i found that store sels it by low price"

[@CalleoPelias]

He survives in this one guys.

[@TheUniversalGamer87]

Dunno not out yet😂 but TLOU2 was good

[@MikeAruba69]

Eh, it's a $10 upgrade. Why not.

[@azizsidky9456]

I did not play any game on PS5 yet that is as good looking as this game was on PS4 Pro. Even the recently released Alan Wake does not look this good. Naughty Dog are wizards at this shit; I really hope we get a new LoU soon since they have released zilch in terms of new games (not remakes and remasters) for the PS5 so far.

[@agasthya9128]

Alan wake 2 looked amazing. Almost as good as Last of us 2. But graphically, Demons souls remake takes the cake. Best looking game on PS5

[@dr.chungusphd108]

It’s worth a 10 dollar upgrade but unless you’ve never played the original on ps5 then no. You can play it at 60 fps 1440p on the ps5 right now.

[@xFilter1967]

In the adaptive triggers options would anyone know why Bow Resistance would be grayed out?

[@booboojohnson5091]

I did the $10 upgrade mostly for No Return mode and its hella fun👍

[@calvincooper9154]

Add Tess to the survival mode for naughty dog don’t be scared

[@NotYourTypicalLakersFan]

You think they will add updates to the rogue like mode over time ?

[@jimmychaninjapan3982]

Can someone tell me , I have this game on PS4 disc, but I now own a ps5 digital..so How can I upgrade, as I heard you need to inset the disc to get it for $10. Im I screwed and Have to purchase it full price?

[@HumptysDumpty]

Sorry but yes you will have to re-buy the game digitally. If you own the disc version its required that you insert the disc into the PS5 every time you play.

[@pushsquare]

Sadly, you will need to purchase the full release if you want it. You are only able to upgrade from the disc version if you have a PS5 with a disc drive - Aaron

Thank you..mmm I really want to play this game, but FFVII rebirth is coming out soon and all these games cost a fortune. Especially if you are digital only..guess that is my own fault for buying a digital only PS5.

[@joshuarogers5563]

[@Kiddo_williams]

The no return mode is challenging and fun and addicting

[@kissjonez]

It doesn't need a Remastered or a remake either. All it needs is a 60fps. This is nothing more but a cash grab from Naughty Dog to help finance The Last of Us 3!

[@redeyejedi4400]

Im surprised they haven't done a god of war remaster... sony has a weird business model

[@adamsultana8380]

That's rumored to be coming out at some point, the first 3 games

[@spursdynasty7378]

That sounds great ! Lots of people would buy it… I hope they remaster the PSP games as well.

[@adamsultana8380]

@spursdynasty7378 yes, as do I. I'm not sure I want a Remake of the first 3 games, just a more polished remaster than the one that came out on PS3 years ago

[@WavyVaporizers]

Its not just a 10 dollarupgrade id you dont already own the ps4 version..

[@PapaDon911]

I got a question are there any permanent unlocks for future runs in no return? Also, what options do you have for the custom difficulty

[@pushsquare]

The characters, gambit challenges and encounter types are the main "permanent unlocks" in No Return. There is no weapons or skills that carry over or anything like that. Here is everything you can customise with the custom runs: encounter types, gambits, dead drops, work benches, trading posts, timers, enemy types, boss encounters, the amount of active mods during encounters and mod types. Hope that helps! - Aaron

Last of us 2 went off the deep end with wokeness. Because of that, I never bought it...still won't. Naughty Dog needs to get back to work on a new game.

[@SuperNova-py1ec]

Huh, wokeness? I can guess some of the elements you are referring to but to sum them up as woke is wrong to me. The story divides players which was the intention. It contains huge amounts of raw brutality which no one would regard as woke. 😂. Shame you skipped it as it’s an amazing story and game. Guess you won’t be watching season 2 when it’s released as it will be too woke…

[@simeonpaskell]

So you've never played it, yet seem to think people might be interested in your opinion? 🤦‍♂️🤔

[@baggieal1]

I mean it didn’t, but why do you think it did? Cause it dared to have same sex relationships? It still had the same amount of blood, guys, revenge, brutality as the original one and I hate to break it to you, having same sex relationships or people being gay / bisexual isn’t being woke, it’s called the real world 🤷‍♂️ it’s a shame you’re missing out on a great game (even if it’s flawed at times with its story) by being close minded.

[@silverballs7]

Nothing woke about it

[@Kiddo_williams]

Someone’s crying about something that doesn’t even exist in the game.

[@crashzone6600]

The game is too divisive. It became soapbox on which people could espouse their politics, so now there are hardcore fans that will say it is the greatest game ever, or people saying it is woke garbage. In my experience people tend to not like it when their favorite characters die, and that usually comes with negative reception. Joel was a beloved character, so I am leaning toward the side that the game generally wasnt well loved, thanks to him being killed. Im guessing that how well the remaster does will be a clear indication of that, especially so since people already know clearly what happened in the game by now. If the remaster does poorly, then people really didnt like the game, if it does well, then it was well received. Although the activist who want to promote the message will probably buy multiple copies just to confirm their bias, so I think that will probably create a biased result especially since the opposite side cant counterbalance that in anyway. What are they gonna do, not buy the game more?

[@geminisundone]

I went into TLOU2 believing the " Sheep " all bleeting together about the " Woke " storyline and daddy Joel dying... Thankfully I played it at launch and was completely blown away. Nothing is woke. The writing is truly outstanding. And to me Joel dying brutally didn't surprise me at all. He had it coming. Jarring at first playing as his killer but once you find out what she's about and why she killed him you're routing for her. A remarkable game.

[@Kolya-chu]

Joel Miller is literally me. So when he died I died a little too 😢. Neil Druckman, end your war on white me.

[@crashzone6600]

@@geminisundone I would say if youre rooting for murder of any kind, there is something wrong with you. Killing of another human is only justified in self defense or in the defense of others. Vengeance killing is never justified, nor is it ever the path a hero takes. It is always the path a villain takes. Like imagine if a guy raped a woman, and then a group of men got together and lynched that person, would you root for the group doing the lynching? What if that person they were hanging was black, would you still root for it? That is exactly what happened to Joel, a group of people got together and lynched him, and you rooted for it... Vengeance is not justice.

[@geminisundone]

@@crashzone6600 Joel was a psychopathic sociopath. Through the first game, him and Elle killed vast amounts of characters. Human or changed. All them humans were like Joel n Elle. Fighting for what they can get. Fighting to survive. Joel was a brilliant character but he absolutely had it coming and got off lightly with a clean golf club to the head. His selfishness ( understandable as it was. Against his best wishes he got close to Elle. Daughter vibes he tried desperately to avoid given what happened to his daughter. ) Going back for Elle and killing the top surgeon and only guy who could find a cure. Abby's dad too. A nice guy who loved his daughter. Led to there being no cure... because he couldn't face the dreadful heartache again...a terrible dilemma he had. But he chose wrong...and Elle told him that. Elle throughout TLOU2 was even worse...at one point killing a heavily pregnant woman... The brutal Elle Vs Abby fight at the end I was siding for Abby...I couldn't believe what I was thinking but there are no good people in TLOU2. All are killers. It's a game aswell so there's nothing wrong with me...or you. Think about that and the philosophy running through TLOU2...those who seek vengeance dig two graves. I rest my case.

[@crashzone6600]

@@geminisundone You're justifying lynching... Joel's, and Ellie's character aside, you are still defending the indefensible. Abby is an evil character regardless of any other factor, because she lynched someone. No amount of rationalizing or arguments will change that simple fact. If the KKK hung a guilty black rapist from a tree, should we root for the KKK? The answer is a resounding no. We know that to be evil regardless of the reasons for the lynching, because lynchings are not just, nor is any type of vengeance. Even with movies primarily about vengeance, that is still a story about an evil character. What you are watching is a descent of a character into madness and depravity. What you are watching is a character's descent into being a villain.
