We Need to Talk About The Last Of Us Part 1
4Naughty Dog capped off a year or more’s worth of rumours by confirming that it’s bringing out a remake of the first game in The Last of Us series, now called The Last of Us Part 1.
We’ve only had one proper trailer for the game, but it was accompanied by plenty of details and discussion, so we’ve gathered all the key facts about it right here for you.
We got our first look at the remake of The Last of Us

Interestingly, The Last of Us Part 1 doesn’t look like it’ll be coming to PS4, despite how good Part 2 looked on that older console. Clearly, Naughty Dog has been aiming it at more powerful hardware throughout its development.
That means for now it’s going to be on PlayStation 5 only if you’re a console gamer. However, it’s also coming to PC, although not quite as quickly – Neil Druckmann confirmed that the game will come out on PC shortly after the PS5 version launches.
It’s a harrowing tale and one of the most expressively told in all of gaming, full of moral quandaries and shades of grey, leading wonderfully into the masterful sequel, The Last of Us Part 2.
Comparisons between the scenes shown in the first trailer for The Last of us Part 1 and from the Remastered version of the game that came out on PS4 are proving that Naughty Dog is seemingly leaning on the side of faithfulness with this remake.
Some moments are absolutely identical in their framing and delivery, with the only difference being a marked improvement in visual fidelity and facial animation.
Neil Druckmann said that the developers were able to use the original motion capture data to get far closer to the real-life performances they captured, and you can see that benefit already in the snippets on show, including in clear detail in the below clip of Tess from both versions of the game:
Where more differences will be noticeable will be in gameplay, where things should feel much more like The Last of Us Part 2 in terms of fluidity and animation quality, with your movements syncing together way more smoothly.
This will also mean that enemy AI is hopefully a lot more sophisticated, and could make for some more emergent fights.
We don’t yet know whether Naughty Dog has changed any sequences at all in the process – for example, tackling one of the very few criticisms of the first game by redesigning some of its more repetitive ladder or raft puzzles. For now, though, we’re assuming everything will be unchanged.
Since those first rumours of a TLOU remake, many have questioned why Naughty Dog would revisit the original game. It’s not even a decade old and when it first launched, it truly pushed the PlayStation 3 to its limits before being remastered on PS4 just a year later. Having recently replayed this version, it holds up remarkably well (especially the multiplayer) and the story is no less impactful or gut-punching. So why go back and mess with such an all-time great?
Being such a commercial and critical success, this series has become a flagship for the PlayStation brand. Not only is there an incredible-looking HBO television series in the works, Sony and Naughty Dog are building their biggest multiplayer game to date, expanding the TLOU universe even further. With The Last of Us Part I, they’re providing an ideal entry point to the series for those who’ve yet to experience this prestige, post-apocalyptic adventure.
As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has an awesome day/week, remember to be kind to one another out there my G's 🙏🏿🖤🤍
