Forums - Sony Discussion - "I don't get the point of TLOU Remastered"

I've been seeing comments like this going around quite alot pretty much since the reveal of said remaster, so I thought I'd just make it clear what the point of TLOU Re is.

If you doubt this sites' pre orders chart, which is understandable, then there are still other sources to look at.

There is clear demand for this and that demand for a PS4 version of TLOU has existed since or even before its release on PS3, the game is one of the best ever made, (most likely) not even half of the current PS4 owners have played it and it will sell damn well on PS4 for what it is. So how do people still refuse to understand the point of TLOU RE? Sony and ND are not putting out something that nobody asked for here.

They must also not understand the point of Wind Waker HD, GTA V on PS4/XBone or GoTY Editions.

Actually I don't see anyone really complaining about those, but PS4 is winning right now, so TLoU warrants complaining, since it costs $50, just like WWHD and actually less than your typical GoTY Edition.



Just ignore those people.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

I see the point of it in that way, I just don't get people who have played it, and those who have played it several times already, getting excited about a year old port.



Its gonna do great, but it's not gonna increase the userbase of people who play the game

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

It#s the same as people that watched a movie before on DVD getting excited by an Blu Ray rerelease. Why shouldn't people get excited over the possibility of playing a game they loved in higher fidelity?

Well I'm buying it later this year when I get a PS4 and I'm looking forward to playing a superior version of a fantastic game, even though it's only been just over a year since I played it the first time.

I'll also get to play multiplayer this time around as I borrowed someone else's copy last time and he had obviously used the multiplayer code for himself. I hear the multiplayer is really good

So you think it'll be exclusively bought by people that played the game on PS3 before? Highly unlikely imo.



Well I try to buy 60 fps games on consoles. This fit well into that promise.

It's still the same game and it's not quite the same as going from DVD to blu-ray since TLOU was already in HD.



Doesn't bother me. If there's demand for it, then there's your point. If you don't want it or already played it, either don't buy it or picked up much cheaper in the future. I hate it when people think every single game is supposed to cater specifically to them.
