The studio behind its development, the essential Naughty Dog, showed us the extent of the work that suffered the famous Playstation exclusivity of 2013. A video to try to convince more than skeptical fans in front of this second remake of the legendary title. Indeed, Naughty Dog will have to prove that this new version is worth looking at, with great technical demonstrations showing the game’s potential on Playstation 5. The good news is that the studio American did it, and did it very well.
The Last of Us Part I, the long-awaited remake
Long-awaited it was not really after the release relatively in 2014 of the remaster of The Last of Us for Playstation 4, but its trailer had the gift of sweeping away our doubts. The Last of Us Part I will be released on September 2 on Playstation 5, and will allow us to relive the excellent plot of the first part of one of the most important Playstation exclusive franchises. On the menu, we find a brand new graphics engine, new facial animations, ray-tracing and everything that the technical capabilities of the Playstation 5 can bring. A project that fits well into the remakes / remasters era that the video game industry, an era that we still hope to see pass fairly quickly. We leave you with the Naughty Dog teams for this 10-minute presentation:
As for the technical elements of this remake, we can clearly see Naughty Dog’s intention to transcribe The Last of Us part 1 with the graphic assets of The Last of Us 2. Concretely, the graphics engine of this remake corresponds to that of The Last of Us 2, allowing to animate the characters more precisely, in their movements and in their emotions. You will also find in this remake the possibility of taking advantage of Ray-Tracing and DLSS, for superior image quality (4K) and a framerate of 60 frames per second constantly.
What is the release date for The Last of Us remake?
We told you a little earlier, it is at the start of the 2022 school year that Naughty Dog intends to plunge us back into the crumbling and sinister world of The Last of Us. More precisely, on September 2, directly on Playstation 5. This exclusivity will be for us the opportunity to find a young Joel more real than life, and to rediscover the foundations of the universe of the famous Playstation franchise. It remains to be seen whether this umpteenth remake will have the necessary qualities to encourage a community of players relatively tired of re-releases. We are obviously crossing our fingers.
