Absolutely. They managed to really squeeze every possible drop of performance out of the PS4 for this title. It’s genuinely an amazing feat how smoothly this game runs, especially when you take into account its visual fidelity. I do like the Uncharted franchise, and it was groundbreaking at the time when the first and second (even the third come to think of it) came out, but personally The Last of Us games, including Left Behind, are the pinnacle of ND’s output so far.
I think they are likely upping the visuals alongside the 60fps that everyone is asking for. Might be one of the reasons it’s taking longer than other first party studios have taken releasing their PS5 patches. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s like the first LoU remaster for PS4, an exclusive version for the new gen consoles sold as a complete game, not just an upgrade. I’d buy it in a second.
