    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    The Last of Us Part II is a 2020 action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Set five years after The Last of Us (2013), the game focuses on two playable characters in a post-apocalyptic United States whose lives intertwine: Ellie, who sets out in revenge for a murder, and Abby, a soldier who becomes involved in a conflict between her militia and a religious cult. The game uses a third-person perspective; the player must fight human enemies and cannibalistic zombie-like creatures with firearms, improvised weapons, and stealth.
    Development began in 2014, soon after the release of The Last of Us Remastered. Neil Druckmann returned as creative director, co-writing the story with Halley Gross. The themes of revenge and retribution were inspired by Druckmann's experiences growing up in Israel. Ashley Johnson reprises her role as Ellie, while Laura Bailey was cast as Abby. Their performances included the simultaneous recording of motion and voice. Gustavo Santaolalla returned to compose and perform the game's score. The developers pushed the technical capabilities of the PlayStation 4. Development reportedly included a crunch schedule of 12-hour workdays and cost around US$220 million, making it one of the most expensive video games to develop.
    Following some delays, partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Last of Us Part II was released for the PlayStation 4 on June 19, 2020, and a remastered version was released for the PlayStation 5 on January 19, 2024. It received critical acclaim for its gameplay, audio design, score, performances, characters, and visual fidelity, though its narrative and themes divided critics. It was the subject of review bombing on Metacritic, with some players criticizing the story and characters; discourse surrounding the game became adversarial. Part II is one of the best-selling PlayStation 4 games and the fastest-selling PlayStation 4 exclusive, with over four million units sold in its release weekend, and over ten million by 2022. It won more than 320 Game of the Year awards and received multiple other accolades from awards shows and gaming publications.

      agreed. when other video games does directors cuts like Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding for example. technically, it's also sort of a remaster because they updated some of the visuals of course, but no one would complain about its year gap because its not called a remaster

    • @anthonytitone
      @anthonytitone 4 місяці тому +88

      I keep seeing this complaint but I don’t get it, who cares what they call it, directors cut isn’t even the right term for if u wanna think of movie director cuts, there’s minor performance improvements to asset resolution, render distances & dual sense support (remaster), Lost Levels cut content (collectors edition), a new roguelite game mode (DLC) & at least one edited cutscene shot near the beginning of the game (directors cut). This package is Last of Us 2 for PS5 & whether they call it a Directors cut, remaster, collectors/complete edition or anything else it won’t be accurate because this package is a bit of all of the above

    The uncapped framerate mode is what really sold me on this. Runs beautifully on my 120hz TV. Didn't bother importing my PS4 saves because I want to play through the whole thing fresh again, so I haven't even tried any of the extra content yet lol. Visuals have always been excellent since I first bought the game on PS4 Pro, but the enhanced framerates are the real draw here, especially if you own a 120Hz + monitor or TV.

      @@obredaanps3 Yeah I'm definately hoping PS5 Pro will get us native 4K @60fps. I'm sure the hardware will be able to handle it, I think it's a matter of the devs willing to do a pro-update for only one console. Studios like Naughty Dog among other Sony-related studios will get it done, most likely. I'm a big fan of more FPS than resolution at this point. 4K has bloated file size among games so much, imagine how big 8K games will be. Strange marketing move from Sony for Advertising 8K on the PS5 box, imo. I'll be happy to support 4K 60/90/10 fps for devs willing to put the work in for PS5 Pro instead of spending thousands of dollars for a PC that can do it as well. Inb4 PC master race crowd comes rolling in lol. I love PC too.

      @@x-Bsyde-x It's a $10 upgrade (for me, at least) that adds more functionality, gameplay, and content overall. I'd obviously love it if every studio did this for free, but tbh a $10 upgrade for all that isn't even close to egregious imo and I don't think it's realistic to think that every studio should do this for free. People mention this is more of a "Director's Cut", which I tend to agree with, but it's not a "bad" one by any means. Ghost of Tsushima DC cost $20 at launch. It had more content, but no one said a word about that.

    Naughty Dog had stuff like Art Galleries, Dev. Commentary (over cutscenes) and Alpha/Beta "Making a Cutscene" type stuff throughout the Jak & Daxter Series
    Santa Monica had 1-2 HOUR "Making Of" Documentaries you'd unlock post game as well as Arena/Challenge mode stuff you could mess around with (maybe it was only one of them but you could also select specific Enemies to fight) unlockable Skins/Costumes with different Gameplay Modifiers, also Art Galleries etc. in the God Of War Series.
    Insomniac had the "Insomniac Museum" which was filled with Cut Weapons/Vehicles/Levels and tons of other Dev. Insights (through both Text Boxes and Spoken Commentary Tracks) for the Ratchet & Clank Series.

      But I personally wouldn't pay the full game price of I believe 50$ dollor on it. For 10$ I just take it and have another platinum aside from the additional content.

      The story is basic, a beloved character was handled poorly, and it was treated like a masterpiece by white knight gamers and out of touch critics. It's an 7.5-8/10 being treated like an 11/10.
