I still have my PSP copy. Probably the best non-Team Silent, Silent Hill game. I really liked it. I thought the story was really good and I also liked Travis a lot. And the OST is also fantastic. I still listen to it on a regular basis

Hey all - Sony has confirmed a manufacturing issue with the Pulse Elevate Wireless Speakers and as such it will no longer be listed for retail/release (until further notice).

All orders are being notified and refnds will be processed accordingly as requested by the distributor.

Sorry about that!

Previous "60FPS" games like Killzone Shadowfall and Infamous SS on PS4 introduced a 30FPS cap as they failed to continuously maintain 60FPS in stressful scenes.


I am pretty sure that neither of the 2 games you mentioned were ever advertised as being 60fps (not counting KZ MP. They were always advertised as being 30fps with a variable framerate added.

Completely different situation here.

Wow, the 60FPS is really weird to watch at first in gameplay but it's great to have the option to play either 30 or 60.

Yeah, is a bit jarring at first. But you will get used to it!

Hey guys, it's out today and it's seriously beautiful!

I do recommend running the small patch that enables the Photo Mode and a few other features before playing. We have also found the the game feels more natural in the 30fps mode, along with this mode offering higher quality shadows.

Enjoy the game for those who missed out the first time round and to those that have played it before, it's still an incredible experience worth another play through especially for those that haven't played the Left Behind DLC that is included in this remaster!

This is still an incredibly beautiful game and even more impressive on PS4. I tried it this morning, playing from the prologue up to the first combat encounter, flipping between 60FPS and 30FPS and it really does offer the most complete and technically impressive way to play the game.

The 60FPS can seems jarring at first but during actual gameplay, it feels incredibly smooth and natural. My only concern is the cutscenes, in which the incredible motion capture suffers, as it looks as though everything is happening slightly too fast. At 30FPS the game still plays smoothly (and there's no sudden drops as in the PS3 version), you get the bonus of better shadow quality and the cutscenes feel natural. Best of both worlds would be a patch that would allow the game to force the 30FPS cap during cutscenes while keeping gameplay at 60FPS.

As far as visual improvements go, character models look incredible in cutscenes and gameplay with much more detail that benefits the acting. There seem to be quite a lot of textures that are not simply upscaled, but rendered at higher resolution, which brings out a lot of small environmental details (especially foilage, posters and signs) that weren't clear on the PS3 release. Likewise the lighting effects seem sharper and there's seems to be more refined lens flares and bloom effects.

In places you can see this game is a remaster and there's still some lower resolution textures upscaled which gives them a "smoothed over" look as seen in some PS2 to PS3 remasters. This can be jarring when these textures have the new higher resolution assets superimposed on them. Still, the few last-gen textures and assets don't impact the massive overall improvement in image quality and frame rate.

If you've never played the game before, or only the base game and are looking for a complete package with the excellent DLC, I strongly recommend this. If you already own the base game and DLC, it'll depend on just how much you enjoyed it and whether you want to support Naughty Dog with another purchase (it is slightly cheaper than a new AAA game, or you can utilize some trade in credits/wait for sale).

I beg to differ https://twitter.com/carolynmichelle

On another note: I played a little TLOUR this weekend. I did notice the upped framerate but it is nowhere near as "jarring" as it has been claimed. That said I did notice that my eye/brain struggles to accept 60fps in Killzone: Shadow Fall's multiplayer mode and I got a similar (albeit lesser) feeling while playing this.

Is it just me though, or is the gore upped in this version? I know the Euro PS3 version was censored somewhat but after playing through that version 3-4 times I don't recall decapitating as many people as I have already in this version.

I found I did quickly adapt to the 60FP in gameplay (and now struggle to go back to 30FPS) but still think it ruins the quality of the motion capture in cutscenes.

As for more gore, I think the censorship only applied to multiplayer in the EU version. If you're seeing more dismemberment, exploding heads etc. in the Factions part of the game then it probably is now uncensored.

On the technical side, there's been a few occasions I've been backtracking to previous areas for supplies only to find parts of the gameworld have "unloaded", are missing visual effects or I've fallen through the stage and died.
