The Last of Us Part II

[Plainsong]

I’ve been checking it as well. Guess we’ll have to wait until either close to or the actual release date.

Not sure if I like that trophies/platinum will transfer across to the PS5 version, I was quite keen to run a fresh/clean playthrough and work through it all again.

It does look like they've added a few more trophies though for the extra modes added. Has it been 100% confirmed that the mode isn't co-op? Some of the trophies show 'Keep ally at X% health' and I wasn't sure what that related to. I'd love it if it was online co-op!

Installed both 1 and 2 this afternoon. Going to give the remake a play through this week.

Nothing.

Nothing at all - but they're nice to collect/go after when there are certain challenges. I don't usually do it for every game, just the ones I really enjoy.

Nothing. Just like achievements. I’ve never bothered with achievements back on the 360, just like trophies with PlayStation. Pointless time wasting.

Saw an ND tweet via push square that said from the 19th we can just upgrade on the store for $10.

Every press release has indicated that will happen on the day of release.

Yeah I will be, I picked it up about a year ago on sale and never got round to playing it so this upgrade will push me to start it

 

[Plainsong]

Definitely! Playing through 1 now.

Definitely! Playing through 1 now.

Aye good game. You’ll be done before Friday too

I’d already played it twice to plat it so I’ve gone back to another NG+ to just blast through the story before Friday.

I'm still emotionally drained from playing through it for the first time at the back end of last year.

Digital Foundry have done their analysis of the PS5 remastered version:

I haven't watched that vid so I don't know what answer they gave to their opening question of did it need an upgrade but like I have said recently on here, I played the PS5 remake of part one, closely followed by digital version of part 2 on the PS5. Same machine, same TV (LG OLED) and I really couldn't tell the difference.

Going to watch it now and listen to them telling me I'm half blind

£10 for slightly better grass…. You can’t beat a Sony “Remaster”

I mean for a tenner it’s throw away money if you like the OG game. I’ve only played it once and because of the length of it I’m not sure I want to invest the time required for another playthrough. I might just pickup the PS5 version of the TLOU Part 1
