@LittleTom @ChristiJunior oh so you see, the remaster was actually good. the ps4 version of the game. very good. more or less just the original with better textures, higher resolution, and smoother frame rate.

this is the ps5 half-remake that they poured way too much effort into only for it to come out looking shittier. like they actually remade tons of stuff from scratch, even going as far as completely redoing all of the facial animation (which was hand-animated based on reference). and for what reason? literally why?

they should have just ported over the ps4 version with even further enhanced visuals or something but no, they had to "utilize the power of the ps5" or some shit probably.

the definitive way to play this game is the ps4 version on a ps4 pro or ps5 and it is a real shame that the PC port had to be this bastardized version of it.

the good news is that naughty dog had to can their multiplayer-only live service last of us game but whatever they come out with next will probably be complete shite too so it's more of like a bronze lining on a shit cloud.
