        I think that patch just unlocked the framerate to 60fps.

      • kungfuman on 19/01/2024 - 16:24

        not the same upgrade man that wasn't the full remastered verison that upgrade was just a bump in res and frame rate.

      By Naughty Dog stadards this seems pretty restrained, was released 3.5 years ago… I guess they did have to remaster a remaster first… also fun fact, the original Last of Us Remaster, was released on the PS4 13 months after the game launched on PS3.

  • Kazusa on 09/01/2024 - 02:34

    It is US$10 (~A$15) on the US store, which is imo a fairer price

    • V003 on 09/01/2024 - 11:26

      IIRC i paid like 16.99aud for uncharted 4 remaster 2 years ago

      • adam7070 on 19/01/2024 - 16:53

        iirc i paid $12-15 to upgrade AC black flag and cod ghosts from ps3 to ps4 when they released back in 2013.

        11 years and a heap of inflation later, $15 for the tlou 2 upgrade is no way near a cash grab.

          Earlier the post said 20$ for upgrade thats why people here talking bout cash grab, i did upgrade last night and it was 15$ so i see no problem.

    • safwanc on 09/01/2024 - 13:17

      Can you use US account DLC with the Aussie disc version?

    Disgusting that a company as large as Sony has to squeeze their customers when so many smaller companies would have offered this as a free upgrade for existing owners. Like the free The Witcher 3 new gen upgrade for example. And then to go extra greedy and make it a full $20, ugh.

    • tonyjzx on 09/01/2024 - 03:58

      greedy as hell but that's what happens when the competition is weak

      AFAIK Sony only ever did ONE game free upgrade from ps4 to ps5 via patch and they said every other title going forward will be USD$10… so about $15 aud lol

      but do i want an xbox? nah.

      • Phreakuency on 09/01/2024 - 07:26

        Wrong. Days Gone, Horizon, Tsushima all got free upgrades because they were basic patches.

        This has a bunch of stuff under the hood, new modes, commentary and unreleased levels.

        • maverickjohn on 09/01/2024 - 22:02
          +4

          I don't think Tsushima was a free upgrade. You were forced to go directors cut on PS5 which was $45 or so.
          I remember because back then my 1 year old daughter bought it for Father's Day on my PS5. But only had ps4 version prior

    • Phreakuency on 09/01/2024 - 07:24

      It's got a lot more than a typical free upgrade.

      • CrashMonkey21 on 19/01/2024 - 16:32

        Especially considering there already is a free patch to unlock 60fps on the PS5.

    • cute as duck on 09/01/2024 - 07:26

      This has heaps of additional content. It's not just the original game.

    • Jake T on 09/01/2024 - 07:38

      Surely it's Naughty Dog, not Sony, who's charging this? They're the ones who would have put a year of work into it, so seems like a fair price to me.

      • BradH13 on 09/01/2024 - 08:38
        +6

        Sony is the publisher. It's their call.

    • ThithLord on 09/01/2024 - 11:07
      +2

      Naughty Dog have two options: lay off their unrequired workers whom aren't working on their new title, or keep them employed by rehashing TLOU series with greater graphical content as well as gameplay and enhancements.

      TLOU Part 1 looks absolutely incredible. The PS5 enhancements cannot be understated - if you play TLOU:1 with the accompanying headset with 3D Audio, the experience is ethereal.

      If you don't want to pay for it, then, y'know… just don't buy it?

    • jirskyr on 09/01/2024 - 14:05
      +1

      It really depends on what the upgrade is. For example an FPS or resolution boost for an old game running on new hardware should be free IMO. If you add a bunch of new and useful content, then it's reasonable to charge, as you would with DLC.

      The part that annoys me about Sony this generation is that they tend to bundle the two together, so if you want to obtain the full graphical boost you have to pay for the entire upgrade, even if you don't want the other stuff. So for example with GO Tsushima, I didn't really care about the Iki or Legends add-ons, but I did want the resolution/load time boost.

      Plus all the bullshit to make sure you select the correct version of the game, having to jump through hoops to access upgrades etc. I just can't imagine poor Granny or Mum trying to figure out which copy of TLOU they are supposed to be buying for young Billy. Let's not kid ourselves - a very large portion of video game consumers are not savvy.

      Xbox on the other hand - you buy a game once and it runs at the best possible output for the console you have. You don't have to choose to download the PS4 or PS5 version and Microsoft even went and added performance boost to a whole list of games without the publisher having to lift a finger. All of that was free, you didn't have to pay for your games to run at the best output on the newest hardware. And I think that's the right way to go about it.

    • adam7070 on 19/01/2024 - 16:58

      "ugh" 🤓🤓

      get over it it's 15 dollars, if it doesn't suit you, don't buy it. Maybe go look at nintendo pricing for a minute.

    I thought this was 10USD? I figured the conversion would be ~15Aud for us..

    • iLikeSales on 09/01/2024 - 16:37

      Adobe got questioned WHY Australia got charged a full thousand dollars when other countries get it cheaper. Always assume 1 usd is 2 aud at least thats what companies feel like it is. when its closer to 1usd to 1.3aud

      • adam7070 on 19/01/2024 - 16:50

    this will be downvoted but $20 seems a tad steep, but you know rockstar will rerelease red dead 2 for $89 in a year or 2 which will be 60fps and nothing more.

    people buy skins for more than this like it's nothing.

    I don't get the hate for this Remaster. They're adding tons of new content into this for 20$. this is a no brainer. If anything Part 1 Remake was the cash grab. They sold it for full price and removed Factions MP.

    • Mellows on 09/01/2024 - 07:46
      +13

      The hate is still probably real for those who were butthurt about when TLOU2 was originally released. I tried staying away from all the rumours / leaks / butthurt before the game was released but I still caught some of the game details due to clickbait attention grabbing story headlines on gaming sites which kinda sucked. The downvoting was insane. FWIW, this is one of my favourite games ever and I'll have zero restraint about shelling out $20 for all this extra content (remember we already got a free patch update a few years back which gave 60fps and some excellent game modifiers).

        I tried staying away from all the rumours / leaks / butthurt before the game was released but I still caught some of the game details due to clickbait attention grabbing story headlines

        I, somehow, completely avoided all spoilers without even trying to. Sorry you got the story spoiled - cos, what a heart-wrenching twist they had for us in TLOU2 that really affected me, emotionally. They're both masterpieces.

      Have you played TLOU:1? It looks and plays incredible. The DualSense integration is used to it's full potential. 3D audio is amazing.

      Completely agree, pricing is on par with other sony upgrades. Not sure how this is a deal, I don't see the saving and its more expensive than the US upgrade, what extra content do us aussies get?
      Just can't believe there is a remaster so soon, cash grab for sure.

  • sinners007 on 09/01/2024 - 08:16

    Aside from the debate of cash grabs, whether the Aussie price is fair compared to the US price, etc… This is simply the normal RRP. I don't see the deal.

      • Snakey Chook on 09/01/2024 - 10:26
        +15

        I don't think you understand what a deal is.

        The retail version is a disc containing the complete game of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered. The full price is $79. What you have posted here is an upgrade for owners of the PS4 version. The full price is $20 - which is what you have posted. Full price.

    Great story and telling. Abby is a great character and a standout and what happened to her at the end was humbling and heart breaking. Only complaint is the actual gameplay as same with Part 1, is kinda repetitive.

    For those that haven't played it, this is a no-brainer and for those that have and enjoyed it, still worth getting just to re-experience the harrowing and distressing story all over again.

    A far cry from the first game, and the fact that its only been 3 years since the original released appears to be a cheap cash grab. Apart from that, this is full price as well, no bargain.

  • AngusD on 09/01/2024 - 14:19

    The PS4 version of TLOU2 has been pretty cheap in the past ie under $20. I don't know if you can still find that price anywhere, but if you can then buying that plus $20 for this upgrade would be a fair bit cheaper than buying the standalone PS5 version.

      People pay $20 for those bloody fortnight and cod skins.
      This upgrade is more than worth it if you compare to that.
      Also I was lucky enough to get digital edition on PSN for $15 or so. So this $20 upgrade would make the whole game $35 . That's a bargain for me.
