Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Naughty Dog last month announced a remake of The Last of Us Part I for the PlayStation 5 and PC. It will launch for the PS5 on September 2 for $69.99 and later for PC. It includes the original The Last of Us and Left Behind.
Leaked images and gameplay footage have now appeared online and spotted by ResetEra. Before reading on the leaked footage does spoil the opening to the game.
The leaker of the images and footage claims the remake has "no gameplay improvements" and most of the improvements are with the "animations and audio."
The game is also said to support VRR, a Gameplay Mode that runs at 4K resolution at 40 FPS, and a Dynamic Mode that runs at 4K resolution and up 60 FPS. The remake will have new accessibility options that were available in The Last of Us Part II and when Joel upgrades his weapons you will see how add the attachments.
It should be noted The Last of Us Part I page on the official PlayStation site mentioned the game is a "total overhaul of the original experience, faithfully reproduced but incorporating modernized gameplay mechanics, improved controls and expanded accessibility options." The remake also makes use the DualSense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.

Considering it was done on a newer engine his claim is very likely wrong. But I guess he got his 15min of fame just like that one that leaked portions of the TLOU2 storyline with glaring mistakes that people still believe.
How so? He is clearly talking about gameplay, having a different rendering engine has nothing to do with that. And I'm not sure anyway why anyone would expect any gameplay change... But saying that he is very likely wrong cause of a new engine does not make sense in that context.
Neil himself said that there were tweaks to gameplay to bring it closer to TLOU2, and change of engine makes it not just "improved animation and sound" as there are other elements involved, plus not even mentioning resolution, textures, models, framerate, etc. So it seems like a very missing/misleading leak report.

I don't think tweaks to gameplay are as big as you think if someone cannot even notice them.
That being said, I'm 100% with you about leakers in general :) I was really just playing the devil's advocate about your comment "Considering it was done on a newer engine his claim is very likely wrong".
At the end; I think those "leakers" are just guessing stuff and making up stuff for the majority. That idiotic Xbox 'leaker' (I cannot even reminder his name) who is always pretending to have leaks and is wrong 90% of the time but when he guessed something right; people are giving him all the credit...
Ow sure, if he is a person that truly played a lot and is leaking and wasn't able to notice then sure I can agree that it isn't anything major, and also agree that the change of engine doesn't necessarily change the gameplay. But since ND said they updated it I'll believe until it launches (and I won't buy at launch anyway so I can wait to see the reviews).
The graphics do look incredible, except for the one blurry picture of Tommy. I'm guessing that is an action shot where he was moving. As good as it looks I have both the ps3 and p4 version of The Last of US, so I'll more than likely wait a year or so for it to hit PlayStation plus extra.
There's some leaked gameplay too:

Neil druckmann himself said that the gameplay of tlou2 and AI would be coming to the remake
The video posted by Sony showed they have replaced the AI of TLOU1 with one more advanced from the TLOU2.
Hey William. Can you activate your garbage feed for MS and Nintendo as well.
Plenty of stuff happening on those sides, some that are as "article worthy" as this, but it seems like your sources aren’t feeding you with them, for some reason.
Thanks.
I don't want to rewatch Sarah die again. I can't...
Improved controls isnt exactly changing the gameplay mechanics. If this guy is telling the truth, than i would believe his talking more about if the game play is any different. Running on DS controllers isnt changing the core gameplay mechanics.
Depends what you class as core mechanics. I consider controller options nothing more than extra features. No different when playing a game on a Controller or Keyboard and Mouse. Core gameplay mechanics would be more inline with FF7 remake compared to the OG. Example being the entire battle system is overhauled and changed or RE2 Remake where all the mechanics have changed. Adding rumble to when you shot a gun is not exactly changing the gameplay. TLOU Remake shooting an enemy with a gun is exactly the same as to how you shoot an enemy in the OG game. Adding rumble features does not change that mechanic.
One thing that is a bit concerning though, is that Naughty Dog and Sony are actually starting to take these leaks down. So there may be some credence behind these leaks.
Honestly, now that the game is quickly becoming a PR problem, Sony may as well just show gameplay. Doesn't have to be anything major, maybe like a 5 minute video that includes combat, to quell the negativity. I mean, it's TLoU. It's not a brand new game. It can really bury the negativity that's happening now quickly. Just a little over a month before launch. They can show full on gameplay.
Or they want to avoid their game being damaged by false claims? Use the removal of harmful content as evidence of truthfullness is odd.
The game was first released in 2013 and this is a remake, not a sequel lr spin-off.
The vast majority who would care about spoilers would have long since played the game. Its fair for the first few months to be careful about spoilers, but 9 years? That’s a rather unrealistic expectation to hold. You can’t expect everyone to not discuss plot-points indefinitely.
It even does say “spoilers ahead” before it gets to the images, although I’m not sure if that was added before or after you posted.
Still stands that the game is not new media, its 9 years old. You can’t expect spoiler tags indefinitely.
Additionally, the only bit that could be considered a spoiler is something that happens in the prologue.
