The Last of Us Part 1 players share their impressive in-game discoveries Spores for thought. News by Victoria Kennedy News reporter Published on 7 Sep 2022 29 comments The Last of Us Part 1 released last week for the PlayStation 5. Being a from-the-ground remake for the current generation of consoles - and given Naughty Dog's reputation for attention to detail - everyone assumed that this release would be full of new improvements and fun inclusions along with the core gameplay. Now, these assumptions have been proven true, with The Last of Us Part 1's community sharing some of their recent discoveries online. Please note there will be spoilers for The Last of Us Part 1 in the article below.

When looking round his house, you will be able to find medication for blood pressure and gastric ulcers. In addition to these bottles, you will also be able to find anti-anxiety medication on Joel's side table.

These are actually fully fleshed out documents, revealing Joel's birthday is September 24, 1981, making him 52 in The Last of Us Part 1. Meanwhile, Tess' full name is revealed to be Theresa Servopoulos. Joel's birthday and Tess' full name can be seen here (via FARAH). Players have also noticed that Joel is able to weigh himself on some scales that can be found in the game. Just so you know, he weighs about 200lbs. #PS5Share, #TheLastofUsPartI This is just INSANE...

As noted by Sir_MoonDoggy, in the remake Tess will actually point her gun at Ellie once she realises that she is infected. This is something she did not do in previous versions of the game.

One player has shared a close up from the game, showing that the glass from a bottle can be seen lodged inside an enemies face after they have been struck by the projectile. Ok...I threw a glass bottle at dudes head, went into photo mode and my god...dudes got glass shards all in his face! The details, wow!!! #PS5Share, #TheLastofUsPartI pic.twitter.com/MiuEuAjGzo- Rad Dad Redemption (@Rad_Dad_Redempt) September 5, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

As noted by SixThingsIHate, "It gets smudges, wet and blood splatters on it, and it automatically adjusts itself during takedowns and shakes to make everything more visceral". Honestly I'm in awe at the improvements, they're more noticeable than I thought they'd be! The 3D audio and the use of DualSense are also soooooo incredible - and the way blood works… sir !!!!
