Watch on YouTube Here's DF Direct Weekly #102, perpetrated this week by Oliver, Rich and Alex!Īs well as the top end, the minimum spec requirements are fascinating. It remains to be seen how impactful those changes would be, but there's certainly some potential here for a sparkling PC port on high-end hardware - including a native ultrawide presentation in 21:9 or 32:9 aspect ratios, which as Alex points out during the show, often requires a significant time investment to implement in in-game cutscenes. Part of this will be the expectation to hit both 4K and 60fps on higher-end systems, whereas PS5 users have to choose between 4K 30fps or 1440p 60fps, but even with this in mind we'd expect to see some scaling beyond the PS5 version in terms of relatively-easy-to-tweak settings like draw distances, shadow quality and so on. Secondly, based on the presence of an ultra preset and the extremely high requirements for even 1440p 60fps - listed as the formerly $10 Ti - we can expect the game to offer some graphical advantages over the PS5 version which already looks great. If these upscaling techniques are used at their maximum quality setting, then we'd expect a cleaner and more stable presentation overall, which would be a nice bonus. That's exactly what we did in DF Weekly #102, where PC nerd trio Alex, Rich and Oliver espoused some interesting possibilities ahead of the game's release on PC in almost exactly two weeks' time.įirst up, the presence of DLSS and FSR 2.2 is a huge deal for PC players, as it means that users of any modern GPU will be able to play the game at higher frame-rates - particularly important for 'heavy' AAA games like this one - but perhaps equally as important, as it means that there will be a higher-quality alternative to the game's usual TAA, which exhibits some break-up and shimmer on PS5. While the blog post is in some ways self-explanatory and straightforward, reading between the lines there's actually a fair amount we can discern about the port. The game received a sequel in 2020, and when The Last of Us Part 2 was released, The Last of Us Remastered spiked in sales again, showing how many fans, old and new, wanted to return to the world and explore it.Late last week Naughty Dog revealed the recommended PC specs for The Last of Us Part 1, with a surprising amount of detail provided in their blog post - down to the exact hardware necessary to obtain 4K 60fps at ultra settings. The original version of The Last of Us was released in 2013 for the PlayStation 3, and was quickly followed by a PS4 remaster in 2014. Protagonists Ellie and Joel captured fans' hearts with their relationship and growth throughout the game, which contrasted against the terrifying and overrun game world. The original The Last of Us was widely considered to be ahead of the times with its graphics and gameplay on PS3. The Last of Us Part 1, though a remake and not the original, will join other Sony exclusives on PC, including God of War. Up until this point, The Last of Us was only available on PlayStation consoles, though hopes that the series would come to PC grew after PlayStation announced more PC games are on the way. PC gamers will finally be able to play The Last of Us on PC thanks to the recently-announced The Last of Us Part 1, a remake of the 2013 classic.
