Gameplay footage leaks from The Last of Us remake
It appears that the upcoming remake of The Last of Us has suffered another leak. After the existence of the project was leaked twice (once by Bloomberg and once by Sony), gameplay footage has been appearing on social media over the last 24 hours. The leaks appear to have started with XboxEra co-founder Nick Baker, who has Tweeted out a number of pictures and videos allegedly from the upcoming game, including a look at the controller layout, accessibility options, display options menu, and some general captures from the story mode. However, all of these Tweets have since been removed from Baker's Twitter account.
However, three videos Baker posted to Streamable are still online. Totaling about 6 minutes of gameplay overall, these videos give us a good glimpse of stealth and combat gameplay, as well as the new workbenches.
According to Baker, these leaks come from the "the most up to date" build. He clarifies that he's not entirely sure if that means the final build or not, but given that it went gold ten days ago, it's likely this is nearing the final version.
So far, fan reaction to the gameplay has not been positive. Many have mistaken the leaked footage for gameplay of the PS4 remaster (including Baker) before noticing that the HUD has been changed to more closely reflect The Last of Us Part II. These comments are in stark contrast to those presented by animator Robert Morris who, responding to those who have been calling the remake a "cash grab," said the following: "Actually it’s the most meticulously built and crafted project that I have ever seen or been a part of in my entire career. The highest level of care and attention to detail possible."
Twitter account Naughty Dog Central also posted some screenshots from the leaks, along with direct comparisons from the original.
