The Last of Us 2 PS5 supports haptic feedback

Naughty Dog have yet to announce whether or not The Last of Us Part 2 will get an optimized, upgraded version for the PS5, however when running in backwards compatibility on the next-gen console, the game has haptic feedback on the DualSense contro ller.

[SullysCigar]

Now THAT has me hyped - this game is perfect for DualSense!

And you just know they were working on PS5 enhancements probably before the PS4 game even launched. It makes sense, since they will want to match the new multiplayer TLOU game to what the single player game plays/looks like on PS5 from the get-go for a consistent experience.

God of.war
.. more.you hold trigger ..faster axe swings.

I think I'm in heavan
.."Valhalla" I mean

[IRetrouk]

Yeah that bit got me hyped too😁😁

[ClayRules2012]

YES! I’ll be a real pleasure to throw my 🪓 at baldur and really feel the impact like never before😁

[ClayRules2012]

Oh yeah, most definitely! Just playing the game on PS4 was literally beyond intense my fiancé and I could only play it in timeframes of about an hour and a half...now with this added, I figure maybe 10 mins, at least for me😭😂

But this is so great to hear! I’m so ready!

[RaidenBlack]

To all the TLOU II haters who didn't even play the game and won't ever either - "Your loss, mate."

[ClayRules2012]

@RaidenBlack

Yes. Anyone who didn’t like the end result, but was willing to at least give the game a fair chance and judge it based on “Their” experience alone, to see the whole story told, and not just through some leaks, no issue there.

To the others, their lose. All who get to experience it for the first time on PS5...this’ll be an even more brutal and thrilling experience for you all😊

[SyntheticForm]

Haptics for this game should be incredible. From bow tension to all the combat (oh that sledgehammer) that DualSense will be working overtime.

[East76lands]

Perfect for my second play through.

[StormSnooper]

Ohhh Maman that would be awesome. Imagine someone hasn’t played this? I’m jealous.

[I_am_Batman]

I haven't. I'll have my first playthrough on PS5. Does anyone know when this was patched the last time? I'm curious when the DualSense functionality was added.

[Teflon02]

These were likely previews. Updates will probably come same day as the console

[MajorLazer]

I am one of those. Utterly loved tLoU and will enjoy 2 in 4K.

[BenRC01]

You might not. I didn't and tlou 1 is my no1 of all time.

[Teflon02]

I bought day one and did that first crazy boss fight but I had a backlog of games and never got to it. Never got to finish Horizon or Spiderman either so I got a list of games to play. I'm hoping they add 60fps to Uncharted 4 atleast as well though.

[SmokinAces]

Awesome!

[Hedstrom]

Awesome!

[medman]

I expected nothing less from Naughty Dog, Sony, and the PS5. Greatness.

[porkChop]

That's not surprising. If the tech is there why wouldn't first parties want to use it to enhance their games?

[MrNinosan]

Last of Us Part 2 don’t need to be enhanced. It’s a masterpiece already.
This is just a bonus, and to answer your question.
DualSense is (was) a next gen exclusive, now it seems one of our beloved PS4 games have this implemented already.

I would never ask any dev to do this on our old PS4-games, but of course for PS5.

Once again, this is just an amazing bonus.

[porkChop]

I didn't say that the game needed to be enhanced. I said it's not surprising that a dev like Naughty Dog would want to use the haptics. This is a good thing, so I really don't understand the disagrees.

[boing1]

This is great news!

[PitbullMonster]

A 60fps mode would be awesome too.

[whitbyfox]

It won’t make the story any better i’m afraid.

[GamerBeast1982]

Nothing wrong with the story and by the end of the game i liked Abby a hell of a lot more than Eliie.

[-Foxtrot]

Only because they did everything to to make Ellie a shitpot and Abby to be the super duper person who saves the day in a badly done 180 move.

[Freshnikes]

Great game ( great story )

[Teflon02]

Fox
You do realize the super bias in your response lol. There's literally nothing wrong with that lol. Alot of great stories pull 180's. Joel pulled a 180 lol. But reality caught up with him. Ellie lost herself, there's nothing wrong with the character you like becoming the bad guy. You gotta commend a story willing to be more than flowers and sunshine. Joel murdered a bunch of ppl unwarranted while understandable. Caught up to him and Ellie was so caught up she lost herself. revenge is a serious thing lol

[BenRC01]

Traitor.

[Snookies12]

Fantastic story, to each their own though, I suppose. There are so many layers to the events that happen throughout this game. And to those that paid attention throughout the entirety, it leaves a lot to think about. And makes so much sense on so many levels for both Abby and Ellie's perspectives. I'm really glad Naughty Dog took risks with this game, shows that they're not just sitting back and cashing in on the success of one of their biggest IPs.

[whitbyfox]

If you were paying attention, Ellie kills dozens upon dozens of people who mean nothing to her and haven’t screwed her over like Abby has, then let’s Abby go.

[Snookies12]

@whitbyfox - Okay, first off... You should have mentioned spoilers before saying that. There are still plenty of
people who haven't beaten the game yet.

So yeah, SPOILERS AHEAD ON MY COMMENT...

Second, you completely missed the point. Ellie clearly saw the parallel between herself and Joel, and Abby with Lev. The parallels were constantly there throughout the story. The reason she let Abby live, was because of her flashback to Joel and how he'd been the most important thing in her life growing up. Meaning she let Abby live because Lev would need her growing up as well. Just as Joel had been there for Ellie. That's why she said "just take him and go". It wasn't for herself, or for Abby. It was for Lev's sake. I mean come on, the way Abby carried Lev to the boat was exactly like Joel carrying Ellie in the hospital. So yeah, don't act like I wasn't paying attention when it clearly went over your head.

[mike32UK]

I'm hoping for a PS5 update with raytracing! Them big glass windows getting smashed? Yes please - never has smashing something in a game felt so satisfying

[Ashunderfire86]

I was watching Blind Gamer’s video on Last of Us 2 for PS5 and he confirmed that he felt the haptic feedback back when attacking the clickers

[vivid83]

Cool I haven’t picked this game up yet

[Petebloodyonion]

Cool it's a nice little touch!

[akaFullMetal]

Definitely making me want to play again on ps5.

[jBlakeeper]

This warrants a third playthrough for me!

[YodaCracker]

I’ve been saving Grounded mode for the PS5 and I’m glad I did.

[Hitman007]

Oh boy a vibrator in your hands guess they know how to use it for the characters in this game ehhh haha

[CrustifiedDibbs]

nice. kinda wish i would have waited another week or so to play it. just finished it the other day... BTW... Abby is the best character in the game.

[Qin1982]

I am sure NG is cooking up something exciting. They will probably announce free PS5 upgrade at TheGameAward in December when it is given the coveted GOTY. Finger crossed.
