![]() ![]() To the point where, eventually, many of the games we call the greatest will be lost to time and generations of people will question how or why. Many titles we grew up loving are challenging to play nowadays unless you still own the original cartridges and hardware. Product preservation has been a big challenge for older games. And when you consider the prestige The Last of Us brings, how people value this franchise, where it’s positioned among the greatest games of all time, most of those other games aren’t anywhere near as approachable.įor the first time, people who’ve been played out of games for one reason or another, can actually experience one of the greatest of all-time in a way that’s comfortable for them, looking and playing better than it ever has. From an accessibility point of view, by the time you’re done tweaking the options, so many more people can now play this game, get through its story, and finally get invested in this world. The Last of Us Part I is a standard bearer in so many ways. How much I’ve taken for granted that I can just install whatever the latest release might be and dive right in. But it made me realise just how challenging playing games must have been for some people over the years. There’s even a whole menu dedicated to motion sickness so you can adjust the shaking of the camera and depth of field.Įven I was overwhelmed looking at all of this and I’m incredibly fortunate not to need any of it. You can magnify the HUD Scale, darken the background, remove flashing, add a full colour blind mode. Of course, there’s difficulty and subtitling as standard, but for instance with the DualSense Controller, you can now add Speech to Vibrations, which has all the dialogue spoken through the controller but with low-hum vibrations, so you can feel how the line is delivered. So many, in fact, we’ll be producing some essential Accessibility options to be aware of in a separate piece.Īnd there’s never been a better time with the HBO Series likely to introduce a whole new audience to the franchise, people who may have never been able to play the game on PS3 all those years ago. With Part I, Naughty Dog have offered those same level of options but taken things even further with in-depth menus that let you customise the game in so many ways. Naughty Dog and The Last of Us have always been at the forefront of that conversation, with The Last of Us: Part II infamously going above and beyond. From Microsoft’s Adaptive Controller and Forza Horizon’s impressive approaches to Sony’s slew of game-changing options on releases like Spider-Man and God of War: Ragnarok. Sony, much like Microsoft, are leading the way in opening up their games to more players. More specifically, the level of options that invite more players than ever to enjoy The Last of Us. The terrifying monsters that inhabit this post-apocalyptic world and the brutality that ravages it.Īnd while this release has proven to be divisive, it’s quite possible the biggest talking point of all is one people aren’t actually talking about – the game’s approach to accessibility. From its cleverly crafted cinematic approach, to its compelling cast with free-flow conversations. Whatever your thoughts or feelings on it are, one can’t deny TLOU is one of the all time great games. Now Sony are suggesting this time it’s a remake. The first time, on PS4, was clearly called a remaster. What we do know is it’s the third release for a game not even ten years old. Even if the answer will still be "no" in the future, there is still hope for a potential third installment.As far as games are concerned, there’s been fewer talking points this year bigger than trying to define what The Last of Us Part I actually is. ![]() For now however, the community has its answer – but fans should try to remain optimistic just in case the studio's decision can be changed later down the road. As more people are able to play it in the future and the demand for DLC potentially increases, perhaps Naughty Dog will reconsider its decision and end up creating some sort of an expansion for the game. The Last of Us Part II is still a fairly new game. ![]() However, with no plans of any kind in sight, all of those questions and thirst for knowledge will continue to remain unanswered for the time being. Surely enough, many people still have questions about the game even after finishing it – something that a DLC would be able to provide. Considering how there are a number of fans speaking out against the game, including streamers like Tyler1 and AngryJoe, having additional DLC to offer more insight about the characters and plot would prove beneficial. The news comes as a disappointment to those who were hoping for more story-related content. ![]()
