"Even with consideration for all the fresh content, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered's $50 asking price still feels a bit steep for series newcomers who have held off until now. The new additions themselves feel particularly geared toward returning players, however, and No Return alone is likely worth the $10 upgrade fee being offered. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is ultimately still The Last of Us Part 2 – it's one of the greatest narrative achievements in the medium repackaged with more gameplay avenues."
With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond
PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?
Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.
GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.
But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.
Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.
Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.
I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.
The Last of Us Part II Remastered has received an update to Patch 1.1.2. The patch focuses on refining gameplay, general aspects, localization, and accessibility features of the game.
Naughty Dog's The Last of Us Part II Remastered is rumored to be heading to PC soon, with an announcement scheduled for April.
Very keen to play this on PC.
A bit aside of the topic, but having such a strong year of PS games on PC this year, I'm very happy I moved from Playstation to PC permanently. I'd like to revisit these games later with even faster hardware and higher refresh rate, the Sony titles are just something else.
I did buy a PS5 to access the PS4 library. Another reason I bought a PS5 was actually the save files on all the games. I downloaded all my PS+ cloud saves years later as they were still there on the cloud, and actually bought Horizon Zero Dawn DLC and am going through it now. Still looks phenomenal on PS5 and am looking forward to Forbidden West on PC as well as Ghost of Tsushima.
Not buying the PS5 or the PC games because I somehow "support Sony", but just because the games are really good (1-2 level higher always than competitors multiplatform titles) and I had practical reasons for buying a PS5 (access to my massive library, thousands of hours of playtime on my save files, and upgraded resolution and performance of the games I owned.)
How long di you think it will be before Sony releases all of its games on PC and PS5 at the same time?
Since they don't have any 1st party games coming out this year I think it may start with their first title next year.
I'll have to upgrade soon. Pretty sure it won't run on my laptop with an Intel Iris Xe GPU and only 128MB VRAM, lol
