I mean it does look great. If you own a PS5 and haven't played the game yet it's probably a pretty good buy,
Having already purchased the game twice now though I'm definitely out at launch. Especially considering the bonkers prices on PS5 games in Canada.

I'm too lazy so just go ahead and imagine a pie chart of this thread. The price / unnecessary remake outrage would about 85% of the pie and literally everything else would be the remaining bits. :)
At this point if you've been paying attention you should know why it's being remade and yes many are attacking ND for remaking this game.
Criticizing ND for remaking a game that didn't need it and selling it for $70 is not the same thing as "attacking ND for being technically proficient". You are not making any sense.
I apologize for believing the leaks. 😭
I literally speculated about seamless cutscenes and they did it holy shit the mad lads. The fucking mad lads.

I'm back fucking in. I'm so happy now the leaks were mostly wrong.
It looks spectacular. Jeez.

User warned: antagonizing other users
Edit: Sorry, too hostile.
In the end, this is what they decided to do, and it's absolutely nowhere in the same universe as a GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition situation; ND has clearly poured a ton of heart, time and effort into recreating an entire game's assets in modern fidelity down to the smallest detail. This isn't something any developer can just bang out overnight.
Can you guys not imagine how awesome this will be for new players hearing about the HBO show coming in for the first time to experience one of the greatest games ever made, with all the original actor's performance captures brought up to TLOU2's level? I'll be waiting for a sale or PS+, but I'm extremely excited for anyone getting to experience this for the first time.

THIS.
I'm a massive fan and i'll buy EVERY version of the game day 1, but if it's not worth it for you just wait? Getting really tired of the same complaint over and over again…
I guess the same applies the other way around, why do you care what people don't want to do with their money? Who does it hurt if someone says "I don't think its worth $70"?
Welcome to the world, where people are allowed to criticize the pricing of a product and voice that criticism. Crazy, I know. Personally, I do think I have the right to voice my opinion that 100$ is a ridiculous price for a version that is missing a huge chunk of content and with fairly marginal improvements on gameplay.
Why do you care that people find it expensive? Nobody is judging your purchase.
This is just the same argument again, why are you so invested on trying to shutdown someone else's criticisms? This is a videogame forum where people normally pay money for videogames, pricing will always, always be part of the conversation in literally everything.
I might get this at launch, I keep flip flopping. Guess we will see how my backlog looks come release.
Technically nothing "needs" a remake. They made it as an in between project while they plan their next big one which can take years. Often they lay staff off during this time but working on the remake allowed them to retain staff and improve their engine and knowledge of the PS5 at the same time.
It's not shutting down criticism. People in this and that other thread (always the same people too) are shouting from the rooftops that they won't buy the game because they find it too expensive. Repeatedly, like they want special brownie points for making their stance known. They absolutely cannot just let a thread about the game happen without raising their voice to be heard.
I don't buy 4X/strategy games. I don't generally like them. If they happen to be cheap on a Steam sale will I buy them? Sure, maybe. Do I need to post in every single fucking thread on this website that their launch price is too high? Nope. People can pay what they want when they want and I don't need to comment. It might be a forum but you(not specifically YOU) don't need to shit up all discussion on this game because of your disinterest.
What about the people repeatedly shouting from the rooftops that they will buy this game no matter how many times they release it and no matter the price?
Do they want brownies too or is it a TLOU themed cake?
It's so weird how it seems like people are fighting for only positive opinions being allowed.
Nah that's just people trying to enjoy something despite the toxic bullshit on this site.
i mean, i'm trying to enjoy giving my opinion on this game, but the toxic bullshit on this site keeps telling me "shut up, dont like it, dont buy it"
my man really said "They cant see a thread without giving their opinion about it." in a fucking message board.
edit: sorry, double post.
It is absolutely shutting down criticism, because some of y'all seem to want to shutdown literally anything negative someone might say about this remake. I don't think your comparison is particularly accurate either, most of the people complaining about the pricing here are complaining because they were actually interested in the game and thought that a full on remake with redone gameplay like TLOU 2 and revised level design was what they were going to pay 80€ for. Understandably they're now disappointed that isn't the case and they think this is overpriced for the package it is. That's perfectly fine and entirely reasonable. T
In addition, this is literally the very first official look into the actual gameplay of the game. This is literally the most appropriate moment possible to criticize its pricing!
What are you talking about? There are so many posts in this thread of people excited to get the game. No one is telling you to shut up. The majority of people are literally just voicing their opinions and you are calling it toxic
there's literally 3 or 4 comments telling people that dont like the game or the price to stop complaining, just in this page alone.
and i'm not the one that called giving opinions toxic. it was the other guy. and i find that toxic. get it?
Oh my bad, I think I misunderstood you. Internet is hard
If this kind of thing starts to get you down, remember you can always go back and read the hilarious first page of this thread again, where people were so excited to cheer their team on that started dunking on people for being right
People unhappy with a product = entitled nerds is a really weird one I see crop up a lot lately
It's not like this is some little known indie project put together in someone's garage. The game will be a big success so I'm not sure why complaining about the price is bad? Who is affected by this?

Just on a surface level, a project just cannot be both "A side project for the ND devs to work on and get used to the PS5" and "most maticulously built and crafted project with the highest level of care and attention to detail possible" and if it indeed is, I think some people just might have a problem with such discription given to a mostly graphical remake of a PS3 game that even lacks gameplay enhancements from their previous game, you know, as a response to complaints about the "value" and substantial improvements - or lack thereof.
I'm sure all devs from all studios are proud of their work and should be, it just doesn't mean people aren't to call out bullshit. And they do, all the time but I guess rules change when it's their favorite 1p developer.
Yeah, it's cool, the air and atmosphere is thick.
Just makes me desperate for a true PS5 ND game not set in the zombie apocalypse .
the animation and graphics update is really impressive, I'm gonna sit out on this one but for people who have never played the game before or want to replay it with a new coat of paint they are in for a treat
Looks incredible! Don't know when I'll find the time to play through the game again, but it looks like I'll be in for a huge treat when I do.
People are sleeping on the AI updates.
Can't wait to play TLoU: Remake on Survivor mode with the AI enhancements.

Aside from Switch, I didn't get into last gen.
I was extremely impressed by what I saw and was surprised by what everyone was saying 😅
Yep, basically this. It's just not worth $60-$70 Sony will ask for.
It will also eventually come to new Plus.
Yeah this narrative around the game has just lead to the perfect opportunity for hot takes and click bait.
Not surprised you're banned for posting shit like this. Victory? FOH
To the one person I'm too lazy to scroll back up and tag:
People making their negative stance about the price tag known, and how they think it's highway robbery to re-re-release a game like this at full price+ (I think the $70 price hike should start to be called this hehe) aren't doing it for brownie points. They're doing it because they believe it is anti-consumer. All consumers can really do is a) not buy it and b) make an effort to show companies that this full priced re-re-release deal isn't ok and that they should stop furthering such a precedent that they believe is harmful and taking advantage of consumers. If you don't agree with that then cool, you're free to say why you disagree and why you're still going to buy it anyway. No one is trying to control what YOU do with YOUR money. It's ok to have a discussion on a discussion board.
If you find value in this remakester then cool. But stop bitching about those who don't want a future where TLOU2 gets 6 re-releases at full price with upgrades that many people find to be diminishing returns and are doing one of the only two things they can to show companies why they believe it isn't just. Nobody is slapping the teets of the sacred cow out your mouths. 🤣

Ooh, an actual debate? Fun. I'm old enough to remember the last "How dare they raise prices by $10!" price hike controversy that came with the Xbox 360's launch. By my math at 40.95% inflation (based on a quick Google search of 2006 vs. 2022 rates), a $59.99 game then equates to $84.53 in today's money (pre-tax).
Do I enjoy paying more? No. Do I think it's highway robbery? LOL no.
