Naughty Dog wanted to stay true to the original gaming experience of The Last of Us
In a new development video for the remake, Game Director Matthew Gallant revealed that the reason they didn’t implement the dodge seen in The Last of Us: Part II (Ellie could do it) it’s because “it felt wrong for Joel”, plus there was a set of mechanics designed for Clickers in the original title (if one catches the player, it’s aborted or even game over in the highest difficulty) that would be “distorted” if it were possible to dodge them; in other words, she could somewhat break the charm of the original title.
“If you face a Clicker in The Last of Us: Part I, you really need to keep your distance from that Clicker because if he catches you he’s going to kill you. I think we found a great balance on this in The Last of Us: Part II playing as Ellie, but this just felt wrong for Joel [en The Last of Us: Part I]”.
In case you missed it: Naughty Dog implemented a game mechanic of The Last of Us: Part II in The Last of Us: Part I.
Under this same philosophy, then, the impossibility of the player being able to crawl in the remake is justified, another mechanic of The Last of Us: Part II that fans wanted to see in the remake. The implementation of this mechanic could greatly modify the gameplay and the original experience in general, so Naughty Dog decided better not to adapt it to the remake.
“The authenticity to the original game justified all the decisions we made,” said Christian Wohlwend, lead designer of the project, who spoke again of the greater number of enemies on screen that the PlayStation 5 allows, an improvement that does not compromise the gaming experience. as the evasion system would have done.
