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.

1. Wind Waker HD is NOT a remaster, it is a complete remake of a game over a decade old.

2. GTA V at least manages to look different. Screenshots of TLOU remastered look almost identical to the PS3 version. And I'm not a big fan of the GTA V remaster either.

And overall, remastering a game just a year old is complete overkill and an obvious money-grab, especially when it looks almost identical to the original.

1. WW HD is a remake...cool. Who cares if its a remake, if people want it...then they want it. Who cares how old it is, if people want it they want it, end of story. This applies to all things, if people want something they buy it. Its pretty straight forward.

2. Ummmm....look up video comparisons between TLoU PS3 and PS4. The PS4 version looks MUCH more crisp and detailed. Why are you talking about a picture during a cutscene? What is that going to prove? Its the gameplay that's going to show the difference, not a pre-rendered cutscene. But go ahead, keep thinking both versions will look the same. The game releases in about 3 weeks or so, we'll see then won't we?

And overall its the people, not the person, who drive sales and ultimately decide what is worth their time and money so no need to be a drama queen and call something complete overkill when a product actually reaches out to as many new customers as TLoU Remastered does. This game is big and will pay for a chunk of U4's developement cost and people will be introduced/re-visit a game that many consider to be one of the best of 7th gen consoles. If people want it, they buy it.

1. A remake is completely building a game from the ground up to work on a new console. A remaster is optimising a game to run on a new console.Big difference. People will buy it, sure, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a remaster of a game just one year old.

2. There's a bit more "crispness", but overall hardly any difference worth remastering the game just one year after its release. 

Yes, if people want it, they will buy it. Power to them. It also means for others that advertising costs, developmental costs, etc. are going towards a year old game that is being re-released as a money move.


Now that's a fancy way of saying "port".
