Can you show me how the remastering of TLOU affects the development of other games? Which game got canned? Which game was delayed?

Do you think The Last of Us for PS4 is porting itself over?  Resources and manpower are used regardless how you want to spin it.  Uncharted 4 is being made still because Naughty Dog has two teams, something which has been known since 2011.  So yes, the remastering of The Last of Us is effecting development of a new game.  If they weren't porting The Last of Us Remastered, they'd be working on another game, so they're delaying the development of whatever they would have had planned.


Do you think that ideas for "new" games just grow on trees and are automatically born out of thin air? Ideas take time from concept art to game. The game will be released in 27 days. This gives the development team practice to learn the software development kits for the PS4. This will give them tips on how to approach the development of Uncharted 4 and any other title in the future. This "porting" effort is four fold.

1) Giving former Nintendo, Microsoft and new gamers the oportunity to play one of the greastes games created on the PS4.

2) Giving PS3 owners that have not played TLOU that want 1080p @ 60 fps a chance to play this game

3) PS3 owners that that want to upgrade from 720p @ 30 fps to 1080p @ 60 fps.

4) Profit

5) Development tool experience for the PS4
