Double Standards Much?

A lot of people are really hating on the new Assassins' Creed games because Ubisoft is releasing 2 of them, one exclusive for each gen. I've noticed that a lot of the same people are ardent suporters of remasters like TLOU:R. Isn't it a bit hypocritical to criticize Ubisoft in this case?

I think it isn't and I tell you why. The Last of Us, just like GTA V, was designed for the 7th gen (they were even announced before the 8th gen consoles). However, since nowadays games are taking years to develop, GTA V and TLoU got into the "unpleasant" situation of being released in the same year as the next gen consoles. Then, the producers decided to launch enhanced versions for the 8th gen one year after the original release. Therefore, we can take it as a lesser evil (it would have been worse not to allow the next generation to play them and having to wait 4 or 5 years to play an eventual sequel) from an undesirable situation.

Assassin's Creed Unity/Rogue are the exact opposite. It is a premeditated move from Ubisoft to recycle the game to the previous generation (Rogue) after announcing an iteration totally 8th gen (Unity). Gamers perceive it's a cash-grab rather than an attempt to continue the evolution of the series.
