THE LAST OF US Video Game Opening Reimagined in 8-Bit
The powerful opening scene from the hit video game The Last of Us has been recreated to look like an 80s style 8-bit video game. It actually looks more like 16-bit, but I get what they're trying to do. In the end, the scene isn't as effective as Naughty Dog’s version. The sound effects and lack of speech kill the mood. It's still a fun watch, though.
The video comes from John Meehan, who used repainted backgrounds from Double Dragon and the end scenes from Street Fighter 2 to bring the the scene to life.
You have all probably been asking yourself: what would The Last of Us look like as an 8-bit arcade game from the mid-80's? Well, here's my answer to that important question!
See the pixelated end result below. I also included the original opening scene.
