Following the myriad of leaks about the game’s existence, including the one from this morning, Sony has finally confirmed The Last Of Us Remastered for PS4. Shuhei Yoshida confirmed it through his Twitter account, and the blog has just gone live with information pertaining to the new version.

The technical upgrades will include higher resolution character models, improved textures as well as shadow and lighting, as well as other changes that have yet to be detailed. There will also be an in game commentary available where Neil Druckmann, Troy Baker, and Ashley Johnson will discuss things about The Last Of Us during the game’s cinematic bits. Box art for the title was also unveiled.
The Remastered edition will include The Left Behind DLC, as well as the Abandoned Territories and Reclaimed Territories map packs. There are pre-order bonuses too which include:
- 100 Supply Points (XP) for use in Factions mode
- Two special bonus skins for Joel and Ellie which will be unlocked after your complete the single player campaign
- Increased Crafting Speed for use in the Single Player Campaign
- Increased Healing Speed for use in the Single Player Campaign
- 9mm Reload Speed Increase Upgrade for use in the Single Player Campaign
- Rifle Clip Capacity Increase Upgrade for use in the Single Player Campaign
And if you pre-order through the PlayStation store you get extra bonuses like early access to Brawler skill, loadout points, and jeep cap & surgical mask for Factions mode. There are no details as to whether there is an upgrade option for those who already own the game on PS3.
Update: Naughty Dog have said they are aiming for 60FPS and multiplayer progress will not be carried forward from the PS3 version of the game.

Very nice, I’d definitely be tempted if it’s priced like Tomb Raider.

Hopefully they’ll be a PS4 bundle that offers good value as I still haven’t played the game yet.
I’m also assuming it’s going to be 60fps?

I was sceptical of these HD remakes, having seen PS2 games look not so special on PS3, but when Tomb Raider Definitive was half price for the PS4 last week, I gave it a shot and have been really really pleasantly surprised buy how next gen and amazing the graphics look for what is essentially a make-over. This makes me have VERY high hopes for this game as it was something special anyway….

Yes … just yes …

No, just no :)
Not that I didn’t love playing through it on PS3 but I’m not going to pay full price to play it again just looking a bit nicer, especially when the PS3 version looks nice enough anyway!
Maybe if there is an upgrade option (for the dlc), or when it gets dirt cheap but otherwise I think I’ll pass.

Fantastic news! I didn’t buy this on PS3 as my launch model’s fan is noisy enough without running a late-gen AAA game in the middle of summer!
I’ve been avoiding all spoilers since then in the hope of a PS4 port.
