Naughty Dog continues to fix up The Last of Us Part I on PC. This time it’s a 25GB patch that includes lots of crash fixes, optimizations for CPU and GPU use, some Steam Deck improvements, and plenty of bug fixes. The initial release of the game was disappointing, but Naughty Dog has been issuing regular patches to correct the issues.
Shuhei Yoshida tells The Guardian (via Kotaku):
“PlayStation embraces new ideas, and many of them fail. We do a prototype, we evaluate, we decide whether to spend more time and resources, or we just stop. We cancel so many games. I usually try to convince the developer that I’m trying to save them from getting stuck with this project … We tend to work with people who have very strong ideas, we love these people, so trying to change or stop their project is so hard.”
These days, he’s in charge of PlayStation Indies.
Horizon Forbidden West’s DLC, Burning Shores, comes out on Wednesday, and Sony just released a great-looking launch trailer for the game. I can’t wait to play it.
But I understand if the release might have slipped under your radar. In what has become something of a tradition for Horizon launches, a different open-world game is stealing the games industry’s attention. At least you’ll have a few weeks to beat Burning Shores before the new Zelda is out on May 12th.
We put the PS5’s stalwart gamepad into Lumafield’s CT scanner — a teardown-free way to see how its amazing adaptive triggers work. Should we do an Xbox gamepad next? Or a Nintendo Switch Joy-Con, perhaps? More like this at our TikTok and Instagram.
