It’s been no secret that PlayStation and Naughty Dog had plans to bring The Last of Us to the PlayStation 4. When the game was originally delayed by a few months, many assumed that it was due to a shift in development and that the title would in fact come out for the PlayStation 4. While that did’t pan out, The Last of Us is now headed to the PS4 with development having begun directly after the PS3 title was released. Now let’s talk details about The Last of Us Remastered, which is being handled in house by Naughty Dog.
PlayStation 4
Welcome to the PlayStation Store update for April 8, 2014. We have a great update this week packed full of new content and sales. The PlayStation 4 receives several titles this week including Strike Suit Zero: Director’s Cut (look for our review soon!) and Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
Continuing the success of previous titles, LEGO: The Hobbit comes to all three systems today. Bigby continues to unravel the mystery as The Wolf Among Us Episode 3: A Crooked Mile comes to the PlayStation 3 today. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 also comes to the PlayStation 3 today as a PlayStation 2 Classic. This game is currently available in enhanced form as Persona 4: Golden for the PlayStation Vita and I highly recommend you play it on that platform. However, if that is not an option, you owe to yourself to pick up the PlayStation 2 Classic version as the game is fantastic.

You can now count Justin Richmond among the many high profile departure at Sony. Richmond had previously worked on all three prior Uncharted titles before heading Uncharted 4 on the PlayStation 4 as Game Director. It seems that Richmond’s departure isn’t an abrupt one as he’ll be leaving Naughty Dog to join Riot Games. Richmond:
I have in fact made the decision to leave Naughty Dog. I love the company and the people and know that they will continue to create awesome games going forward. On a happier note, after careful consideration and exploration I have joined Riot Games. There is some really innovative stuff going on here that I can’t wait to be a part of.
