2022 saw the release of The Last of Us Part I, not to be confused with The Last of Us, or The Last of Us: Remastered, and is designed to be the definitive version of Joel and Ellie's story. Only this time the story is told by rebuilding the game in the engine used for the sequel, The Last of Us Part II. But what impact, if any, does this have on AI? Well, I made this video to answer that question. So yeah, press play and watch it.

This channel is criminally underrated. Some of the highest quality game design videos on KZfaq. Thanks Tommy Thompson

This made me more interested in playing the remake than anything else I've heard about it. Not only do I love stealth gameplay but I thought the combat encounters in TLOU2 were some of the best I've ever experienced. Been a long time since I played the original but I was never as impressed by it as everyone else seemed to be, perhaps because I played it much later on. But bringing it in line with the gameplay of the sequel was a good call

This might be worth your time then. I agree in that I don't think the gameplay of TLOU1 is *that* good, but that TLOU2 was a real step up. I think this remake is sort of a middleground between the two.

I would like to have enemy AI settings decoupled from overall game difficulty settings

@notsqueakerchild8504 3 ай бұрын

I just checked and they do have custom difficulty options! you can change how smart enemy's are, loot spawns, stealth, allies, and how much health you have so you can put ai on grounded, health on survivor, resources on survivor, allies on medium and stealth but you can only change them to ingame difficulty presets still very extra and very fun!

So interesting!! In my case I bought the remake as I had never played the original before because I didn't have a PS at the time, so for me it is like a completely new game that looks amazing. Playing part I and part II right after was really comfortable, it really felt like a continuation of the same game, but as if it "levelled up" with the extra mechanics and enemies. I am an average player and play in normal difficulty, but I've seen people do plays and strategies that really make the most of the AI, it's so cool.

Great video, sadly ND played it very safe with the Remake and didnt add any new mechanics or expanded the levels a bit. Every level and encounter is exacly the same with good graphics.

the last of us part 1 on grounded difficulty is super hard , with humans its hard but fair , my only problem with the stalkers , you cant stealth them ,they know where you are all the time

The difference between the original last of us and the last of us part 1 PS 5 remake are second to none... Way better with the graphics very similar to Last of us part 2

Dude I love your videos but you need to up your title and thumbnail game! This video has a perfect controversial, interesting question that people are for sure searching now, right at the start of the video (IS IT WORTH IT? / WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? AI PROF FINDS OUT!), but it's not in thumb or title.

@ReggaeUnicorn Жыл бұрын

I don’t think that’s the audience he’s going for. Many of the people here are either really invested in the game or are really interested in ha how games are made. Your suggestion, to me, seems like it would attract a non-retentive watcher

@skriisi Жыл бұрын

@@ReggaeUnicorn i mean I've been a follower for years and am heavily invested, but i almost didn't click because the thumb and title were so boring. it's of course part because the titles of different versions of this game are also so boring that it tells nothing :P

@AIandGamesPlus Жыл бұрын

It's a fair point! I won't lie in that I hate making thumbnails and titles. It's the least interesting part of the process for me in making a video. And it's always a tough balancing act too, given - as you say @Skriisi - making a more sensational thumbnail would arguably get more eyeballs. I have to balance that against the fact that I hate that shit with a fiery passion 😂. Like I straight up avoid and even block channels that use that style of thumbnails because it pisses me off. But yes, I do need to get better at thumbnail/title stuffs. Sadly this one is locked in given I advertised it on the TLOU2 video with this thumbnail. So yeah, need to work on that in the future.

@@AIandGamesPlus I completely understand how annoying that sensationalization is, especially for somebody from as rigorous academic backround as you. But it's also a shame if only people without substance do it, and your better stuff stays unseen! If you hate it with a passion, maybe you should pay a SEO professional to help...

@bobthedeleter Жыл бұрын

@@AIandGamesPlus I definitely understand your hesitation to sensationalise just for "more eyeballs" but I also agree with skriisi. other channels clickbait to make their boring content seem interesting. your videos genuinely are fascinating and more people need to know that, especially when they're already looking for tlou content

Naughty Dog: Remakes a classic with a new updated game engine to make a definitive version of that game themselves. Rockstar Games: Outsources development to a 40 man dev team who botched making mobile ports of the GTA games, to make a botched remake based on those botched mobile ports and has the gall to advertise it as a "Definitive" when "Defective" is more accurate.
