      It could be worse.

      The Last of Us was released for the PlayStation 3 in June 2013 and The Last of Us Remastered was released for the PlayStation 4 in July 2014.

        The difference being the PS4 wasn’t backwards compatible. The remaster was intended for people who hadn’t and couldn’t play the PS3 version.

        PS5 is backwards compatible, making this a little more bullshit.

    Why are Sony obsessed with remaking ps4 games? If you’re going to dip into an anyway established IP, why not choose one where we haven’t had a new game in forever. Like Jak, Sly etc.

      PS5 is just a sad sad gen with PS4 still being the highlight. Just really highlights how lucky Sony is that Xbox totally botched their own IPs this gen.

        Unironically the only real highlight PS5 brought to the table was adaptive triggers/haptic feedback on controllers.

    This has to have been a situation where someone jokingly suggested remaking the game and higher-ups went with it.

    People keep complaining how games are hard to make and timelines are skewed, but Sony has been pumping absolutely bangers with their remasters. We’ve already seen SpiderMan remastered, uncharted remastered, last of us 1 and 2 remastered, and now horizon and days gone remastered, all in 4 years. I literally can’t get enough of these single player games with infinite replayability.
