images and gameplay of the remake have leaked

First of all, be aware that the following lines deal with sensitive elements of the plot of The Last of Us. In other words, if you haven’t had the opportunity to get your hands on the game yet, we strongly advise you not to continue reading this article. As for the others, no danger, since the new images of the remake which leaked via ResetEra reveal absolutely nothing new except a clear graphical improvement compared to the original version. The pictures in question allow us to see Joel, Tess and Tommy, Joel’s brother. We are also entitled to a video sequence showing the one where Sarah, Joel’s daughter, dies in her father’s arms. Unquestionably the first strong scene of The Last of Us.

The insider at the origin of this leak affirms that we should not expect any change in terms of mechanics, contrary to what was indicated when the game was made official. According to him, the alterations made by the developers of Naughty Dog have mainly focused on animations and sound design. As with The Last of Us Part II, they would have integrated a whole bunch of options geared towards accessibility, and would also have ensured that the improvements made by Joel on his weapons are now visible.

He also specifies that The Last of Us Part I will benefit from the variable refresh rate (VRR) and two display modes, namely “Gameplay” (4K 40fps) and “Dynamic” (4K 60fps), which seems to attest to the screens relayed by Nick from XboxEra. The latter also allowed himself to disclose real gameplay phases, proof that the breach that caused the many leaks around The Last of Us Part II has not been completely closed. Either way, Naughty Dog has embarked on a cleanup operation, but as every internet user knows, it’s nigh on impossible to erase all traces.

We remind you that the release of the game is scheduled for September 2 on PS5, and that it will automatically include the “Left Behind” DLC.
