Is there a difference? Honestly i can't see it, which is why i hate these comparisons...i know there is a difference, you just can't see it via compressed YouTube magic

 

I thought there was a pretty massive difference if you watch the 1080p 60fps video of the new trailer.  I think Eurogamer has it posted but it is blocked from here so can't check.

Got it, was just watching it in the default mini-screen. As i'm sure there's going to be a difference and the main thing is the extra content anyway, will just wait until the 29th...of July. It's not like we're getting older, gaming industry, don't worry about us! :s

You can definitely see the difference.

 

If you don't see the difference it might explain why so many people don't care about running their games at native res lol

 

You can definitely see that the PS3 version is blurry because of the upscaling.

Ah lol that explain why you did not see any difference.

Don't remember it looking bad either, but then i didn't think OutRun looked bad in 1986, thought it looked fantastic...what was the native resolution on the original PS3 build? 1280 x 720 right? Yeah guess the upscaling to 1080 made it look a little blurry. Did the campaign twice and thought it looked amazing for something running on half the RAM of a mid-range smartphone!

Sony Announces The Last of Us Remastered PS4 Bundle For Europe

Gamers on the other side of the pond will be able to get a new PlayStation 4 bundle that includes a copy of the newly remastered version of Naughty Dog's masterpiece.

 

The news comes from the European PlayStation Blog. The bundle includes a standard black PlayStation 4, a DualShock 4 controller, and a copy of The Last of Us Remastered. It retails for 429 euros (the PlayStation 4 usually sells for 399 euros so players will be getting a discount on the game).

 

At present time, this bundle is only announced for Europe, not the U.S.

Sony reveals special edition The Last of Us and Destiny-themed PS4 consoles

But they're only available in Japan for now.

 

By Tom Phillips Published Friday, 18 July 2014

 

Sony Japan has shown off two new PlayStation 4 models themed around the upcoming launches of Destiny and The Last of Us Remastered.

 

As in Europe, Sony will sell Destiny alongside a white-coloured console. The Japanese version, however, also features a nifty Destiny logo.

Another Japanese bundle will offer the PS4 alongside The Last of Us Remastered. This design includes the game's logo and the silhouettes of main characters Joel and Ellie.

Both consoles will come with a copy of their respective game.

 

It's not the first time that Sony has created a custom PlayStation 4 for Japan. Earlier this month it revealed a rather unexpected design themed around Disney's Frozen, after the film topped Japan's box office for 16 straight weeks.

I really, really don't like these special editions. I saw the frozen one on Kotaku the other day and it reminded me of kids in primary school who had gold pens who crudely scribbled on their folders.

 

The destiny one doesn't look too bad, but that is because it is just text and a simple logo. Those silhouettes and outline designs look terrible.

Have to agree w/Complex on this one.  

no offense but these "special editions" are rather lame. it's just a sticker :/

 

 

Silver lining? The designs being stickers, when you realise how fugly they are, you can peal them off.

After seeing the gamers response to Photo Mode in Infamous, Naughty Dog are adding one into TLoU, at the moment they're saying you can "Detach the camera and mess with the DoF". This obviously also confirms a day 1 patch for the game. They are also confirming the game is a mammoth 50GB Install to the hard drive.

 

Damn, if HD remakes of last-gen games are completely filling dual-layer Blu-Ray disks this early in the generation, will they be enough to last the whole gen?

Well the game doesn't have to fit on a single disk, seeing as I think both consoles make you install the entire game anyway.

 

Just as long as we only have to have Disk 1 in to verify. I'd hate to have to change disks mid-way through a game. 

actually the way the remakes are, it is expected to be larger size then the coding on the same material from scratch.  it is a remake after all.   something was made and then remade. cannot possibly be as trim as original coding of the same thing?

 

 i hope i am correct on this, but it just makes sense to me.   if i am wrong, please explain why?

Just as long as we only have to have Disk 1 in to verify. I'd hate to have to change disks mid-way through a game. 

 

I'd imagine both MS and Sony would replicate the 360's multi-disc solution. At the start of the generation you needed to switch discs but once installing to the HDD was possible switching fell out of fashion.

It is likely this size because the game is just so lengthy. Lots of high-res textures and uncompressed audio.

 

Will the PS4 be compatible with any of the larger blu ray media as they become available?

Unfortunately, it will not. The larger media requires more than just a certain firmware I believe, and neither Sony or MS included a drive with the necessary hardware.

So unless they found a way around that, we won't see any support.

Not quite sure what's going on with those screenshots, looks almost like they took it from the PS3 version.

 

I caught someone streaming it on Twitch last night and it seemed really good, better than those screenshots indicate.

I saw them earlier elsewhere and I was puzzled if this was really a "remaster" of any type. They look almost as if they just upped the res and called it a day.

    • Apple has clarified Series 9 was left off the watchOS 27 compatibility list by mistake.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
    • It pretty much has to be compatible with MS Office or it is going nowhere. The rest of the world runs office including Europe. If it is not compatible it will not survive.
    • Incredible deal gets you free NVMe 512GB SSD with AMD AM5 B850 motherboard for only $150 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week we covered the story of an interesting PC case wherein you can build two full-size computers inside it as in it can house and run an AMD and an Intel system simultaneously. Speaking of building PCs, these are hard times to make one for sure as prices are often very high except during flash sales or discounts. If you are in the market for a 1080p gaming PC then Nvidia's 8GB RTX 5060 Ti is currently on sale for just $330 and you get the latest James Bond game too, for free.

Getting an AM5 motherboard now in 2026 will be a wise investment for sure, especially since AMD confirmed its commitment to support the socket till at least 2029. The MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI is a micro-ATX motherboard that is compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. Since it is AM5, the motherboard works with DDR5 memory and includes MSI’s Memory Boost technology, along with EXPO and XMP support. Connectivity features include built-in Wi-Fi 7 paired with a 5G LAN solution. The board offers a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot with MSI’s EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II thermal solution, that is said to help maintain SSD performance by providing ample cooling against overheating.
