Demon's Souls remake for the PlayStation 5 paved the way for fans to hope that Sony has become open to remaking older titles. But, while there's a long list of Sony first-party titles that are well-deserve of a PS5 remake, Sony chose one that was way down at the bottom of the fictional list.
After being mentioned in a report last year, Naughty Dog finally confirmed in June that a remake of The Last of Us is in the works and it's coming out this month.
Several weeks of teases, trailers, and criticism later, which includes one developer defending the project from claims that it was nothing more than a cash grab, The Last of Us Part 1 is finally only days away from launching.
Now that the embargo has lifted, critics are allowed to say their piece about the remake of what can only be described as a gaming masterpiece. If nothing else, what they're saying is exactly what's expected: The Last of Us Part 1 is an unnecessary remake. But, many are in agreement that the improvements to the 2013 title are more than welcome. The Last of Us already looks great on the PS4 Pro and the PS5, but The Last of Us Part 1 takes things many steps further. The lighting, textures, animations, weapons, and even the AI, have all been overhauled.
