If you have played the original game on either PS3 or PS4, then you’ll probably want to wait for a steep discount to get the enhanced experience. If you’ve never played The Last of Us, this remake will be, going forward, the definitive way to experience Joel and Ellie’s adventure. The promised PC version of the game is also not here yet, with Sony not revealing any details about its release or extra features.

4,999 price point, with the amount and quality of content, included being questionable in terms of being worth that price point. The remake is being sold at a premium $70/Rs. I’ll keep it straight and simple - The Last of Us Part 1 is a great game, but the optics around it aren’t.

However, the gaming industry is not welcoming of the new remake, citing it as either a waste of development resources and time or an unnecessary endeavour given the original game’s existing PS4 remaster. For starters, it’s one way to hopefully win back some of the fans the studio lost with Part 2, and it’s a good idea to update the original game with new assets and art direction to keep it more in line with the highly iterative sequel. So, where can Naughty Dog go from there? A remake of the original game for seemingly multiple reasons. The game’s sequel, The Last of Us Part II, did the same once again towards the tail end of the PS4 generation, but to divisive results. The original PS3 game, released in 2013, shook the gaming industry with developer Naughty Dog’s masterful splicing of narrative and simple gameplay, showing that video games can also tell powerful stories with intriguing characters. The Last of Us is undoubtedly one of PlayStation’s greatest and most influential games.
