2022 saw the release of The Last of Us Part I, not to be confused with The Last of Us, or The Last of Us: Remastered, and is designed to be the definitive version of Joel and Ellie's story. Only this time the story is told by rebuilding the game in the engine used for the sequel, The Last of Us Part II. But what impact, if any, does this have on AI? Well, I made this video to answer that question. So yeah, press play and watch it.
