Re: The Last of Us 2 PS5 Remaster Announced, Has a Brand New Survival Mode, $10 Upgrade Path

For those wondering why Sony and ND are doing this—it’s uh…it’s to make money. Heaps of money. HBO’s first season of TLOU was wildly successful. There are lots of people playing though these games for the first time. For gamers like us on this website who’ve almost certainly played through already, well, we can upgrade for the reasonable price of 10 bucks. Or not at all. People are all fired up in the comments. The only valid concern I see is that this distracts ND from making new games. But that’s not true either. They’re gonna hire a handful of devs to touch up some textures for this remaster knowing it will easily pay for itself. All the while they’ll keep working on whatever new game they have in the cards.

Article clearly states: “Ember Labs wanted to create a nostalgic platformer, the kind of thing that inspired the brother's animation aesthetic in the first place, which Michael describes thusly: ‘We pitched an experience that was full of charm and had that nostalgia edge to it. [PS2-era games] are definitely a big influence, we weren't seeing a bunch of those games being made, so it was like, it'd be fun to play a game like that, a kind of callback to that vibe, and the simplicity of it is part of the charm. So, for better or for worse, that's what we set out to make.’"

Some people in the comments be like: Ugh. Felt like a PS2 game. Disgusting.

🤦‍♂️🤣
