The sun isn’t the only thing in the sky that looks more realistic in HDR color - take a closer look at the sky itself. In HDR, it’s a white-hot ball of flame its brightness is so intense, it becomes difficult to see the flying V of birds crossing in front of it. In the standard image, the sun appears as a diffuse yellow light source in the sky. The most noticeable distinction between SDR and HDR color is the appearance of the sun, and it’s particularly obvious when the sun is partially obscured. Still, it is possible to tell the difference between PS4 share screenshots of a game running in SDR versus HDR. That’s doubly true since the screen on which you’re reading this article is almost certainly not a display that supports HDR. We should note from the start that screenshots taken with the PS4’s share functionality aren’t going to convey the full majesty of an HDR image on a compatible television.

Once you make it through a tunnel leading into the Boston quarantine zone, you emerge inside a pizza place in what amounts to an overgrown courtyard. And even once you get past the prologue, the initial segment of the first area - the cordoned-off city of Boston - doesn’t offer the kind of stunning natural beauty that The Last of Us is renowned for. I had to start from the beginning, since The Last of Us Remastered doesn’t allow you to import save files from the original PlayStation 3 version of the game. And since I happen to also own an HDR-compatible TV - one of Vizio’s 2016 P-Series models - I thought I’d fire up the game and see if I could notice much of a difference between the two display modes.
In fact, The Last of Us Remastered is the first game I own to support HDR.
