‘The Last Of Us Remastered’ Trailer Reminds Us How Many Critics Enjoyed The Game

Published

on

The newly confirmed The Last of Us Remastered got a trailer today. It serves as more of an ad for the base game, rather than this new “enhanced” version, but I’m not sure you can say much more about one of the previous generation’s most high profile and critically lauded titles.

As for what this version offers, Naughty Dog has said they’re reworking the character models, lighting and textures. This version will also run in full 1080p and bring with it the Left Behind expansion, as well as both of the Territories map packs.

Unless you’d like a reminder of how many critics enjoyed The Last of Us (spoiler: it’s basically all of them), I suggest skipping to around 0:50 to briefly see the game in action.

The Last of Us Remastered arrives this Summer on PS4.

Legendary Grimdark ‘Warhammer 40,000’ Artist John Blanche Has Passed Away at 78

Published

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).

Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.

While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.

The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.

Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.

We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
