The Last Of Us

Well I am late to the party with this one. I have had this sat on my shelf since release day and have only just started playing it.

So far I am really impressed and instantly had an investment with the characters after the opening sequence.

It is rare for a game to give me that sort of instant connection with it so early.

Time for a bit of a break to recover and then back to it again.
 
PS4 version basically confirmed now:

Hmm, this in a PS4 bundle might sway me to buy it.
Would like to know more details about what's been changed though I'm guessing it's going to be mainly visual.
 
Well, it’s no secret that we have been working night and day at the studio to bring The Last of Us to PS4.

We’re calling it The Last of Us Remastered.

The Last of Us Remastered on PS4

Moving our efforts to the PS4 has allowed us to remaster an already phenomenal looking The Last of Us in 1080p with a list of upgrades including higher resolution character models, improved shadows and lighting, upgraded textures, along with even more improvements. We love setting challenging technical hurdles for us when working on each game – and this is no different. We’ve been working hard on The Last of Us Remastered to release a next-gen evolution worthy of the 200+ Game of the Year awards, not to mention the acclaim and expectations of our fans. We will be revealing more detailed information about the upgrades for the PS4 version in the coming months.

In addition to all the technical updates, we’re also including an exclusive director’s commentary for all in-game cinematics featuring Creative Director and Writer, Neil Druckmann; Voice Actor, Troy Baker, who plays Joel; and BAFTA Award winning Voice Actress, Ashley Johnson, who plays Ellie.

We’ve released a ton of additional content since The Last of Us launched in June 2013, including our first ever single player expansion, Left Behind. We’re happy to say that the major content releases will be included with The Last of Us Remastered:

Left Behind single player expansion
Abandoned Territories multiplayer map pack
Reclaimed Territories pack – details will be coming soon on exactly what is included

Whether you are new to The Last of Us or have played it already on the PS3, we hope you are all looking forward to this release. We are!

Could be a better port than expected, seeing as it is a less than year old game maybe a PS4 version was always in the works.
 
Sounds like it's being handled internally rather than being given to an outside developer, so it's probably going to be as good as it can be, for a re-release at least.
 
From the Twitters:

Neil Druckmann ‏@Neil_Druckmann
For those asking, @Naughty_Dog is developing The Last of Us Remastered and we're targeting 60fps. More info to come. #PS4

And yes, it's much better that ND are handling this than an external company, ND won't release something they're not happy with.
