Development on the PS4 version of The Last of Us began right after PS3 work was completed

IGN yesterday reported that development on The Last of Us: Remastered on PS4 began just after development completed on the game’s PS3 version.

Naughty Dog Co-President Evan Wells confirmed the details with the publication.

“We had a lot of people on the forums saying, ‘Can I play this on PlayStation 4?'” Wells said. “We had actually been anticipating that, and started working on it pretty much as soon as we finished the PlayStation 3 [version].

“We weren’t sure if it was going to go anywhere, but when we saw the fans clamoring for it we doubled-down, and put more effort behind it,” he added.

The Last of Us: Remastered will head to PS4 this winter.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
