Both are cash grabs for sure.

 

Of all the remakes/remasters this year, The Last of Us Remastered is the game that will attract the most new fans.  For both Wind Waker and Halo Master Chief, I would bet that most purchasers of those games have already played those games.  There are lots of PS4 owners that didn't have a PS3.   I would also bet that there are very low number of Xbox1 owners that didn't own Xbox360.  The buyers for Wind Waker/Master Chief Halo are buying the game for nostalgia and replaying the game, but those remastered games are not bringing in new fans.  The Last of Us Remasted is going to purchased by more new fans.


What does that matter?  The main goal of all these big video game companies is to make money.  Everything else is a distance 2nd.  All these fanboys think they have some connection to their favorite company and/or have some unreasonable hatred toward another company.  In the end, the CEOs and people in those financial boardroom don't care that much what the video gamers think.  Also, there are lots of turnovers for most people in those financial boardrooms, so I'm sure they are more worried about their bank accounts today rather than some perception from the video gamers few years down the road.  (examples:  EA, Activison, etc).

Naught Dog should definitely do remastered Last of Us because they are going to make money.   If there is something that is going to make money and that person decides not to do it, that is utter stupidity.
