Wtf is this? The game was already patched and enhanced for PS5.

[–] RolyRamen@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not sure I get what a PS5 version would bring without some pretty serious tech upgrades such as Ray Tracing. There’s already a ps5 patch that enables 60 fps which is normally my personal “requirement” for new versions on cross gen games so unless this is a major uplift then I’ll pass.

I don't mind older games getting love on new platforms. But... This is already a late PS4 game with a PS5 enhancement.

Maybe it's something as simple as just a physical PS5-only version? I have not seen any "Greatest Hits" reprints of PS5 games yet. Usually they start doing that ~2 years after a console release, so it's past due for the PS5. So my speculation would be that they are going to announce that at the game awards, and it's going to include some PS5 reprints of other PS4 games with PS5 enhancement. Maybe Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War (2018), etc.

If this inolvrs putting in serious dev work to remake a 3 year old game, I'd have to question whether those resources would have been better spent elsewhere. Heck, even another, older, Naughty Dog game. The Crash N Sane and Spyro Reignited trilogies were pretty successful endeavors from Activision, and Sony has Bluepoiny just for doing that kind of stuff. Where are the Jak and Daxter remakes? Ratchet and Clank 1 was kind-of remade-ish to go along with the movie release back in 2016, but where are the rest of the R&C re-makes? They did Shadow of the Colossus: where is ICO?

I don't have a PS5, but I'd seriously consider it (even moreso after Spider-Man 2) if they made a Jak & Daxter and Sly Cooper Remastered collections.

I know there was the PS3 Sly Cooper game(s), but still.

PS4 game? It was a PS3 game!

[–] fireangel108@mastodon.social 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

@iturnedintoanewt @paultimate14 the first one was a ps3 game the second one was a ps4 game and it wasn't so long ago, is this a relaunch? It better not be a full price game not even a remaster would make much difference, this generation's graphics haven't changed much it's just light

[–] paultimate14@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's why I'm thinking a Greatest Hits reprints makes sense. Those were usually priced lower.

And yeah I was only referring to Part 2 because that's what the article is about. Part 1 just got a remake in 2022.

"it's just light" might be the understatement of the century, lol. What makes a big lot of the differences of how a game looks and CGI in a movie looks is how light is being calculated in the scene.

[–] O_i@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it not available? I read playing it on ps5 auto updates to ps5 version

[–] azn03@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think this is talking about a remastered version. I have the game just haven't had the time to play it.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Remastering it already lol

[–] O_i@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah word is it’s a remastered and you can upgrade for extra stuff too

[–] echo64@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

saving my second playthrough for ps5 is finally working out! unless it's a full priced release with no upgrade, which is what i'm actually expecting

[–] Dariusmiles2123@feddit.ch 3 points 1 year ago

For me it’s the greatest game ever (or maybe one of them), but I ain’t gonna buy it again.

It already looks and feels so amazing.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

At this point I feel like Todd Howard moonlights at Naughty Dog.

[–] QubaXR@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lol my thoughts exactly. Last of us is the new Skyrim.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

We here at Naughty Dog respect that, though they are great games, our fans have felt some exhaustion at seeing only remasters of Naughty Dog's old games. Hence, we are proud to announce our newest project: Skyrim Remastered.

Nice, this all but guarantees a PC release, which is great, I enjoyed my time with TLOU2 but it was so marred by the experience on console
