TLOU PS4/PS3 Difference Is Like Bluray/DVD

There have been a few “remakes” already for next generation consoles, but without a doubt the most anticipated is TLOU Remastered - the PlayStation 4 version of Naughty Dog‘s The Last of Us, which managed to conquer over 200 Game of the Year awards in 2013.

Edge reached out to the development team in order to learn more about this port, expected to hit some time this summer. Creative Director Neil Druckmann said that the difference between the PS3 and PS4 versions is going to be similar to that between a DVD and a Blu-ray movie.

[It's] akin to looking at a DVD versus Blu-ray. It’s not a totally brand-new experience, but when you’re seeing the film, the clarity of the image is much closer to how the director and the team initially saw it. There’s something nice about that. I think if there was nothing but remakes, that would be pretty sad for the console. Just like any system out there, any medium, it’s going to be a mixture. We’re working on this re-release, but at the same time we’re working on two other brand-new experiences. When Blu-ray came out, the first thing is you buy all these rereleases of movies that you’ve loved, and then you see Gravity and you can’t wait to see it on your Blu-ray. There’s always room for a mixture of old and new.

Druckmann also assured PlayStation users that as improved as TLOU Remastered will be on PlayStation 4, it will be just the beginning of what the team will be able to do on the new console.

If you look at Uncharted 1 and then look at Uncharted 3 or The Last Of Us, you’ll see a pretty big difference as we have a better understanding of the hardware and how to build assets for it. So while I believe you’ll see a big improvement between The Last Of Us on PS3 and PS4, we’re just getting started with the new generation.
