It looks as if the long-rumored, long-expected The Final of Us Half 2 PS5 version (a local PS5 version or re-release) has simply been confirmed, or at the least strongly hinted at, by the collection’ composer Gustavo Santaolalla.
No, this isn’t an enormous shock, however maybe the means by which the reveal has come about is slightly off the overwhelmed observe. In an interview with the parents on the Blender podcast, Gustavo Santaolalla speaks about his cameo in The Final of Us Half 2 – close to the start of the sport in Jackson, taking part in the banjo on a chair subsequent to Buckley the canine – however goes on to say that “within the new editions you are gonna be capable to make me play sure tracks, and properly, I am unable to let you know the rest”.
For full disclosure, that is all he mentioned on the matter, and with the podcast and dialogue in Spanish, I’ve used some translation instruments, subtitles, and seen what native-Spanish and Spanish-speaking followers have mentioned on Twitter in order to finest translate the above.
That mentioned, the revealing half about ‘new editions’ is, certainly, correct – although I did see some oscillation between the phrase ‘version’ and ‘model’. Both method, it is a fairly large nod to a Final of Us 2 PS5 recreation. Whereas a PS5 model isn’t surprising, and can be extraordinarily welcome information to followers like myself, I’ll say that my curiosity has been piqued additional by this trace at new options and content material.
The discharge of a local PS5 version of The Final of Us Half II has at all times been seemingly – The Final of Us Remastered was launched round a yr on PS4 after the unique PS3 launch and set an early precedent for remasters. Afterward, Naughty Canine adopted swimsuit by having PS4 Uncharted video games come to PS5 natively, adopted, after all, with The Final of Us Half I.
A PS5-optimized model of The Final of Us Half II makes a substantial amount of sense, commercially, with the massive fanbase greater than ever due to the HBO present and a now-huge participant base on PS5. Plus we have already had related ‘Director’s Minimize’ PS5-version therapy on different massive late-PS4 video games like Loss of life Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima.
Whereas many would have a look at the PS4 model of Half II and state that it does not want an improve, we do know that the graphic textures and fashions utilized in Half I, whereas they could look related, have been of upper constancy than Half II so there’s one other step there that Naughty Canine may take if it so selected. Throw in all of the extras that the PS5 can obtain (DualSense helps, Constancy and Efficiency modes, et al.) and new content material like Santaolalla hints at, and a really enticing re-release bundle begins to kind. Watch this area.
With The Final of Us Remastered and Half II already being two of the finest PS4 video games ever made, it certain does appear like Half I and the Half II re-release are prone to emulate that on the present console technology and make waves on the web’s finest PS5 video games lists.
