The Last Of Us Remastered Release Date On June Rumored As Game Almost Didn't Fit In Blu-Ray! Naughty Dog Discusses Technical Issues Regarding The Visuals And System Limitations!

The Last of Us: Remastered has a rumored release date on June and believe it or not, it may be even delayed further as the game files almost didn't fit into Blu-Ray.

The updated version of the award winning game, The Last of Us: Remastered will be added for the PlayStation 4 sometime in the quarter of 2014, but the despite the PS4's greater power the game apparently show some signs of limitations.

In the latest issue of the video game magazine Edge, Last of us creative Neil Druckmann stated that the he struggled to fit everything of the game to Blu-Ray.

"Our cinematics are now running at 1080p and 60fps, and that involved rendering them all from scratch. It's interesting that now [instead of a technical bottleneck], the bottleneck is ‘Can we fit all this on the disc?'"

Despite the limitations, Naughty Dog found a way to manage that limitation and pack everything in for the PS4 version of the game and will use the same high-quality assets in-game in cinematics.

"We don't build it with high assets in mind to then port it, but it did give us a leg up. If we hadn't done that, we might not have made the call to bring it over to PS4,"

Enemy character models that could look blurry at close range on PS3 will be improved in Remastered, as will be the lighting models, according to Druckmann.

Shortly after it was announced, Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells talked up the quality of visuals gamers could expect in Remastered.

"The graphic fidelity has been turned up to eleven. We've got 1080p, we're pushing the draw distances further, we're creating higher resolution character models, better lighting, better shadows."

The gameplay itself won't be changed for Remastered, but the DLC released for the PS3 version will be included from the start. Retailer listings have suggested the game will cost $60 and be released on June 20, although those details have yet to be officially announced.
