Why The Last of Us Remastered Shouldn’t Really Exist

I think MCC has more value and is better suited to be released now. It's a win-win for gamers and publishers alike.

TLoU:Re. is a cash grab for sure but it's a boost for Sony's machine and there is no argument for it being a totally positive move for the company. Yeah it's a year old but it's fucking incredible - another win-win.

/thread

Won't discuss the value proposition since that is subjective to preference... but what could be gained from TLOUR not being released now, but after 5 years??? (you can consider 2 possibilities if you want... one being the same game that was released now, but just taking longer... and the other invest more money and make more changes but since it was released after 5y it would probably look even more outdated).

It's very simple, just like the Wii U at the time of Wind Waker HD's release - the PS4 needs games.  They're coming for sure, but releasing TLoU:Re right now, during a drought, helps a bunch.  

Yep pretty much this... a game that could be launched fast, be gorgeous and fill the holes is a good approach, and of course we would love it being cheaper, but there is more reason to make it 50 than 30... And from what I heard WW HD is a fantastic improvement... TLOUR is being regarded good, and probably Halo MCC will be good as well... so they are very much worth remasters/remakes.
