Why The Last of Us Remastered Shouldn’t Really Exist

It has a reason to exist since making it work on the PS4 is difficult. So they might as well remaster it then.

Its not needed because it doesnt add anything to the game.

And? Think of how many games have released Game of the Year editions, after launch; Elder Scrolls Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Batman Arkham City, Halo 4, Red Dead Redemption, Dragon Age: Origins, Borderlands, Borderlands 2, etc, etc, ETC. These are, literally, the same game, with DLC bundled, sometimes sold slightly cheaper than the original game's launch price, sometimes not even. None of them ever 'add anything' either.

In fact, those GOTY editions have even LESS of a reason to exist than The Last of Us Remastered, because they don't have any visual upgrades whatsoever, and release on the same platform the original game was on. But they still sell.

Again. People want to own it. Sony makes a profit from it. Both consumer and company come out of the encounter satisfied. That is literally the ULTIMATE embodiment of what makes something 'needed.'

Never said the GOTY editions was worth it either. They sold well and now everyone does it.
