Well if ppl buy it than its worth if, if ppl dont buy it it isnt. A retarded videogames reporter saying its not worth it wont change ppls perception. Its that simple.


He's saying that it's a slap in the face to people who bought the PS3 version.  If they had known that a PS4 version of the game was in the works, they would have held off buying the game.  This is a cash grab from Sony plain and simple.  That's what the article is stating...


This makes absolute no sense the Ps3 game was great, I dont feel cheated at all for having played it. Theyre remastering a masterpiece for ppl who havent had the chance to play it on Ps3 or for ppl who want to play it again. This slap in the face crap is just some crazy sense of entitlement ppl seen to have nowadays. However feels it isnt worth it just dont buy the game.

 

The existence of a remaster TLOU for PS4 doesnt detract in the excitment I had playing ti on PS3 one bit, so this argument that its a "slap in the face"is moot. And if I knew in advance that a remastered version would be released for PS4 Id have got the PS3 version anyway, heck if I would wait 1 year to play such a great game.

Well normally a company with something amazing and memorable to remaster will wait a couple of generations first then remaster it for people who never played the original.  Take The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, they waited 2 generations to remaster it rather than just a year.  That's because there's a whole generation of gamers out there that had never played that masterpiece.  Take Age of Empires 2, they remade that after well over 10 years.  However for TLOU its not the same because there is hardly anyone who hasn't played it who has a PS4.  

Why this is a problem is imagine this, rather than coming out with new games every generation, what if half their games were just remakes of their hits from last year....  Isn't that what Sony fans always accuse Nintendo of?  Only instead of just making new installments of the same series every year, now they're just remaking the same game every year.  

Yes I admit that remakes take far less effort to make, however it still eats up resources.  If this was such a great idea, why don't we have a FF7 remake?  or a MGS remake? or a GTA3 remake?  why because its not a great idea, it eats up resources that could go to something else with new features.  


Seriously youre comparing the effort that remaking a game that was launched for PS1 with outlandish bad graphics for todays standard to remastering TLOU? Remastering FF VII would be almost the same as developping a brand new game (dont get me wrong Id love a FF VII remake). ND probably got like 10 dudes and put them to work on remastering this for like 6 months. PS4 has a bunch of gamers who didnt own a PS3 it makes sense, TLOU is the most condecorated game ever.

 

And if ppl dont think its a good idea dont buy the frekaing game, if it sells bad SONy will never do it again, if it sells well than why the hell not do it again ? It worked super well for Tomb Raider and in that case the original had been launched less than 1 year before the remaster, I dindt buy the remaster only the original but obviously there were ppl who thought the remaster was a good idea and bought it. The Tomb Raider remaster founded the new Tomb Raider game beeing developed we should all be happy developers can get a little exra money for theyre work, its hard enought to make a profit on todasy AAA game market.
