its probably the best game of all time. its going to have its fans defending it against stupidity. 

So you think us that are against remasters like this are stupid?

Thanks for that...

...hehe :) - Pretty much just on the basis of the lack of understanding why this remaster has been done. Remasters have been done for years, and not just in games, music and films. It's strange that people are moaning about a remaster they arnt going to buy. If you are not interested, no issue, but it is stupidity to tell everyone else that they cant or shouldnt buy this game.

As for Naughty dog, the team thats probably working on this is the tech team, they are the people who will be making the tech that makes UC4.. it's imperative they improve their engine to support next gen, the best way of doing that is to actually make a game with it... therefore the easiest way to do that is to do a remaster of TLOU otherwise the first game they would be testing their new tech on would be UC4... which potentially means they would make a lesser game.

Unfortunately I guess people who have a lack of knowledge of the games industry and how they work would just see this as a quick cash grab, but it really isnt, its building the tech for the big hitters. Could they have made a new game while building their tech, yes of course, but then it wont be as good as the game will now be.

Now, you might think this is a waste of time for people to buy this, but ultimately it has no impact on peoples day to day lives, if people go out and buy it, then its done the job in a quiet month. Things start to pick up from next month with a couple of other remasters (Diablo and Metro) I wonder if people will be complaining as much about them. From September new games will be appearing all over the place..so whats the problem.
