Legendary PlayStation Exclusive The Last of Us Part 1 Releasing on PC

Sony's onslaught on PC-centric gamers' wallets through the release of its critically-acclaimed exclusives shows no signs of slowing down. After porting God of War and announcing the release of the Spider Man series of video games, the company at the Summer Games Fest shared details on the upcoming PS5 remake of the original The Last of Us Part 1. With over 200 game of the year awards, it remains one of the single-player, story-driven masterpieces of gaming history. But the announcement came with its own twist: the company also confirmed a PC version is in development.

The modernized version of Last of Us Part 1 will be coming to PS5 first, with a release date set for September 2nd 2022. Development on both the PS5 and PC version being done by Naughty Dog itself. According to Sony, the modernized version will be "a total overhaul" of the original, "faithfully reproduced but incorporating modernized gameplay, improved controls and expanded accessibility options," while also offering "improved effects and enhanced exploration and combat."

Considering the quality of Sony's PC ports (God of War even added support for the mostly PC-centric AMD FSR 2.0 and NVIDIA's DLSS upscaling technologies), we're hoping this game too will be more than a simple straight port. But considering the quality and attention to detail that Naughty Dog stubbornly and proudly infuses in its games, our hopes are high for an impressive, engrossing experience that's more than enough to make grown men cry.

SithaerDunno, I've played the original ME serie vanilla then Nexus modded the second time and the Legendary Edition for a third time and I still think its the best way to experience the serie.
There are lot of small changes that do count in overall, making the game better to play imo. 'Theres a pretty big list of changes actually'

From what I know/read it was fairly successful and for the most part positively accepted.
There's a big list, but you don't see most of it unless you actively look for it. Turbo mode on the Mako, the UI changes and higher res textures in ME1 are most certainly welcome, but I literally didn't see anything in ME2 and 3.
SithaerPersonally I'm glad that Last of us 1 is coming to the PC, I was always interested in it but I never owned any console and I don't plan to just for a few games.
Same here. :)

Making a PC version alongside any PS5 version should be trivial.

PS5 supports keyboard and mouse, PC supports controller, both run very similar CPU and GPU architectures on compatible APIs.

The 1440p and 2160p look kind of blurry to me.
Please, can anyone check/confirm if that is actually rendered at 4k? It is using a very agressive upsampling rendering by AMD ("performance" "low quality" (?) on FidelityFX SR)?
I'm using 1440p monitor and both 1080p and 1440p seem to have the same amount of detail on most scenes, 2160p doesn't look "crisp" at all.

I've seen other Last of Us "preview" videos with deceiving stuff, like "1080@60fps" where, once checked on MPC you see its frame doubling 30fps.

The only thing legendary about this game is how boring it is.

But I get that people who buy consoles don't have much in the way of choice or taste, so that explains it.

You can still have the game on launch day without pre-ordering.
There is no excuse to pre-order.

BorisDG$70 for an enhanced game minus the multiplayer... ok

Few years. I'm seeing it in 2024.
This game is probably the most popular on RPCS3, the demand is there. Although I agree the price is too greedy, I think it should be $30-50.

Sony re-selling the game again, typical bull**** only Sony does to have their loyal fans buying the game again and again

Personally, I think HL2 was revolutionary when it was released. It isn't anymore, that's why one could say it's boring. Your perception is different when "shooter" means UT2004 and Quake 3.

HL2 was groundbreaking in almost every facet. Last of Us was not in any way shape or form. But console players had never had that kind of game before so they went wild over it.
robbWhat an asinine low IQ reply.
QQ more.

I know. :) What I meant to say it that everything can be super boring, or super exciting based on your perception. I, for one, find online shooters ultimately boring for a complete lack of imagination in them, yet they're the bread and butter of gaming for millions (I'll never understand why).

Very true and I had an inkling you knew, sometimes very hard to tell on the interwebz.

@Assimilator AusWolf sums it up nicely and I love HL2 for what it brought to gaming. I still think it's a great game. Where we differ and where we will always differ, is our views on The Last Of Us but as I'm guessing we are both non-Millenials I'm sure we can handle that without needing therapy or a hug.:toast:

Kohl BaasAlready seen the playthrough from a streamer I like. Since the game is 100% around the story, I don't see anything I could get by playing it myself...

Too little too late I guess...

So the Question is, will they take time to optimize it for X86 instructions and allow Full Definition for GPUs that have the muscle to do it? (Think Need for Speed Underground on a XBox which was fx 5200 gpu performance, vs a PC with Radeon 9700 Pro Gpu performance, Details could be maxed on that card)

It will be interesting to see what the recommended specs will be for GPU/CPU, considering the engine is 9 years old they should be trivial even if the game is remastered.
