Sony has released a new video, which focuses on the gameplay and presentation enhancements that will be featured in The Last of Us: Part 1.
When the remake is released later this year, it will include the following changes and enhancements:
- The entire game has been rebuilt from the ground up to take advantage of a new generation of graphical capability, allowing this game to reach the visual fidelity that the studio aspired for.
- The PlayStation 5’s powerful hardware drives a host of visual benefits, from denser physics with tons of bumpables and chipables and cinematics now transition seamlessly to gameplay.
- Motion matching technology means that character animations flow more convincingly, intuitively and realistically.
- AI upgrades mean that characters inhabit the world in a more authentic and realistic way, such as buddy characters navigating cover to avoid enemy NPC sightlines more authentically.
- Integrate some fan requests, including a “permadeath” mode, a speedrun-focused mode, and a host of brand-new unlockable costumes for Joel and Ellie.
- The game also hosts 60-plus accessibility options, outpacing what the developer was able to offer with The Last of Us Part II, and includes a new Audio Description mode, ensuring that play is rewarding and inclusive for all.
