00:15 Hi, I'm Matthew Gallant, and I'm the game director for
00:17 The Last of Us Part II Remastered,
00:20 which is the best way to experience Ellie and Abby's
00:22 incredible story.
00:24 This remaster runs natively on the PlayStation 5 console,
00:27 taking full advantage of the powerful hardware
00:30 and the revolutionary DualSense wireless controller.
00:33 But there's so much more in this game
00:35 that we're excited to share.
00:37 For starters, The Last of Us Part II Remastered
00:40 includes the Lost Levels.
00:42 We pull back the curtain on the game-making process,
00:45 presenting them in their raw and unfinished state.
00:48 These levels feature developer commentary
00:50 that tell the story of their creation
00:52 and why they were ultimately cut.
00:55 For a further look behind the scenes,
00:56 we've recorded hours of new cinematic commentary
00:59 featuring Troy Baker, Ashley Johnson, Laura Bailey,
01:02 Shannon Woodward, Pally Gross, and Neil Druckmann.
01:06 There's so much happening there with almost no dialogue.
01:08 We've greatly expanded the guitar minigame
01:13 featured in the campaign via a new mode, Guitar Freeplay.
01:17 You'll be able to swap between locations and characters,
01:20 including Ellie, Joel, and the maestro himself,
01:23 Gustavo Santo Elaya.
01:26 We've even recorded several new instruments for players to unlock,
01:29 such as the banjo and steel resonator.
01:33 We can't wait to unleash the community's creativity
01:36 with this feature-rich mode.
01:38 The Last of Us Part II Remastered enhances the sense of immersion
01:43 through the DualSense controller's haptics and adaptive triggers.
01:47 You'll feel the tension in the bow as you draw back an arrow,
01:51 and the kick of a shotgun.
01:53 You'll feel the quiet moments, too,
01:54 walking in the Seattle rain or playing fetch with Bear.
01:59 The Last of Us Part II broke new ground for accessibility,
02:02 and we're thrilled to bring over new features
02:04 that debuted in the Last of Us Part I remake for the PlayStation 5,
02:08 such as audio descriptions for cinematics and speech-to-vibrations.
02:14 We're also thrilled to introduce No Return,
02:16 a brand-new single-player roguelike survival mode.
02:20 Begin your run by choosing one of ten playable characters,
02:23 including many fan favorites who were not previously playable.
02:27 Each one has their own unique playstyle,
02:29 traits, and starting inventory.
02:32 Face off against randomized encounters
02:34 with remixed levels, enemy factions, game modes, and random gameplay mods.
02:40 Death is permanent, but there's always a new randomized run waiting.
02:45 And to top it off, there are new character skins,
02:48 weapon skins, photo mode improvements, and speedrun mode.
02:52 "Tita, we gotta run!"
02:54 The Last of Us Part II Remastered is the best way
02:56 to experience this beloved game on PlayStation 5.
03:00 And whether you're a returning fan or a newcomer,
03:02 we're excited to share this journey with you.
