I’m personally not a huge fan of these re-releases of games. The only reason why I played the updated version of The Last of Us on the PS4 was because I never owned at PS3 so I didn’t have a chance to play it. After playing through it twice I am not sure if I would want to do it again per se, but for a new generation of gamers this might be right up their alley.
Playstation 5 has announced they will be re-releasing an updated version of the iconic horror game, The Last of Us part one, for PS5 this September.
Per Polygon:
Given the popularity of The Last of Us, it’s strange that this port hasn’t been announced sooner. A blog post confirms what we can expect in the remake. It says, “We’ve implemented modernized gameplay, improved controls, and expanded accessibility options in this single-player experience to allow even more individuals to enjoy the game. Effects, exploration, and combat have all been enhanced. Leveraging the PS5’s powerful hardware, we also implemented 3D Audio, haptics, and adaptive triggers. Both returning fans and new players alike will have the opportunity to experience both The Last of Us Part I and its prequel story Left Behind in a whole new way.
Much like the release of The Last of Us Remastered that was made for the PlayStation 4, this remake will include the “Left Behind” story DLC for everyone. The Standard Edition release will cost $69.99, while a Digital Deluxe Edition is $10 more and includes early unlocks for several in-game items. At the highest end, the Firefly Edition costs $99.99, and you can only get it from the PlayStation Direct website. It includes the unlock bonuses from the Digital Deluxe version plus a SteelBook display case and the four-issue comic series The Last of Us: American Dreams, with new cover art for each comic.
