Every gamer’s definition of value differs substantially. For most, it’s built on a premise of constant debates encircling topics such as price versus content. In addition, the need versus greed of remaking or remastering ancient games on the latest hardware.
A notable example of such discussions is September’s, The Last of Us Part 1. While a remastered version of the game was released in July 2014, the original version dates back to 2013.
Although the remake is instant good news for the gamers who haven’t played it before, a consensus is pending. However, based on the information released by Naughty Dog, there are a plethora of positive takeaways.
The Last of Us Remake (Part 1) seems plenty worth it for gamers who’ve not yet experienced the gameplay its older version offers. For the rest, an improvement in visuals, animations and AI, the addition of DualSense capabilities, accessibility and new bonuses renders it worthwhile.
With that out there, here’s more about the much-anticipated game.
What are the official title and release date of The Last of Us Remake?
During the Summer Game Fest, on June 10, 2022, Naughty Dog officially announced The Last of Us Remake. The game promises remodelled characters and a brand new look.
Naughty Dog also provided the gaming community with the official release date for PlayStation 5, which is September 2, 2022. Although gamers are referring to it as The Last of Us Remake, the game’s official title is The Last of Us Part 1.
The initial speculations discarded the game’s release on PC, while a few outlets expected the official release date of the PC version to be around Christmas or the first quarter of 2023. Nonetheless, a reply by Jonathan Benainous on the official Twitter announcement confirms the same.
Which platforms will The Last of Us Remake be available on?
News from the developers suggests that Naughty Dog won’t restrict The Last of Us Remake to PlayStation anymore. Furthermore, there will be a PC release soon after. Quite interestingly, Sony will roll out the game on this generation of PlayStations which is PlayStation 5.
As far as gamers who use previous generation consoles are concerned, it’s almost certain that the game will not be compatible with PS4 and PS4 Pro. This anomaly might’ve to do with the fact that it’s a remake and the developers aim to extract the potential of the latest generation hardware entirely.
Note: With the systems requirements The Last of Us Remake possesses, the PS4 Pro or Base won’t be able to handle the game’s performance.
Unfortunately, there’s no concrete evidence to suggest that The Last of Us Remake will be available for XBOX consoles. Sony and Naughty Dog’s past relationship implies that any hopes of a surprise release are farfetched. Consequently, anticipating any involvement with Microsoft’s prominent Game Pass is also a dead end.
What is the storyline of The Last of Us Remake?
Even though the game is a remake, there won’t be any significant changes in the storyline of The Last of Us. It doesn’t make sense for Naughty Dog to drive the narrative of this version entirely away from the original. Nevertheless, there surely will be a few minor changes to attract a large audience and keep it intrigued.
Given below is a summary of the first game’s storyline.
Joel, a single and dedicated father, lives with Sarah, his 12-year-old daughter. One mysterious night, a sudden outbreak caused by an unidentified fungus spreads throughout the United States of America.
While attempting to escape the pandemic, a soldier opens fire on Sarah and Joel. Sarah gets shot with a bullet and sustains significant damage. On the other hand, in a fit of rage, Tommy, Joel’s brother, ends up killing the soldier.
After many years, Joel and his friend, Tess, are assigned the task of smuggling a young girl, Ellie. Subsequently, Joel is hit with memories of his daughter and goes through several adventures while trying to survive every obstacle.
It’s a gift that PC gamers can now enjoy one of the best story-driven action-adventure games.
