But what got everyone’s attention was the other two paragraphs on its page. Now, once again, the series is the subject of some controversy, made all the weirder since it concerns the beloved first game.Īt the Summer Game Fest showcase last June, Naughty Dog formally announced The Last of Us Part 1, a remake of the first game built – as per the official PlayStation page – “from the ground up using Naughty Dog’s latest PS5 engine technology with advanced visual fidelity, fully integrated DualSense wireless controller features and more.” It features the base game and the Left Behind DLC with significantly improved graphics and more detailed facial animations. While many assumed it wouldn’t have a long tail, Naughty Dog confirmed over 10 million copies sold as of Spring 2022.Ĭonsidering the number of high-profile titles that fail to reach that figure, much less remain a topic of discussion to this very day, that’s a pretty big achievement. It received universal acclaim from critics at launch with four million copies sold in the first three days. This culminated in a series of leaks (and more than a few falsehoods) that haunted it for a long time. The Last of Us Part 2, on the other hand, became a progressively more controversial game in the years after its announcement. The first game is a masterpiece and despite some criticism of the controls, its narrative, visuals and gameplay still hold up extremely well to this day. But there have been few franchises which comfortably toe the line between beloved and controversial like The Last of Us. There have been universally loved titles and controversial titles throughout the many decades of the games industry.
