This is a list of skips to use in Any%. All skips work on both PS3 and PS4 with minor tuning depending on the platform.
- Downtown skip - Saves 5-6 minutes
Identical for both platforms more or less. Mattmatt has a cool setup to glitch off the ledge more consistently.
- Bill's Trap skip - Saves just over 2 minutes
PS3 version can maybe just run but nobody plays that so I've not done anything with that version since my original finding.
- Hotel, basement and financial district skip - Saves 8-9 minutes
Two ways you can do this. The old way (which we will call v1):
PS4 way (which PS3 should also use btw):
v2 of the skip saves another 2 minutes as we don't ever enter the hotel and we save a molotov:
The PS4 way requires different pausing (look for the sky turning a brighter blue):
- Financial district 2 fight skip - Saves 2-3 seconds but 100% consistent and saves ammo/bullets
Total time saved: 16-17 minutes
As of 30th November 2023, New Game runs for The Last of Us/The Last of Us: Remastered must use default skins and are not allowed to have activated costum skins/backpacks/etc.
We found out that costum skins potentially change the appearances of soundglitches, which also influences the loadtimes.
