So... If Microsoft makes a remaster (not remake or reboot since it's THE SAME GAME, please don't compare with OoT 3D on 3DS) it is understandable, but if Sony does then it's not good and there's no comparison, since... you know, both are remasters... Ok. Live happily with this logic of yours.

The big difference is that Halo MCC is not a remaster.  It's not just the original game upscaled to 1080p format, or actually, it does include the original graphics template so it does have the original game scaled to 1080p, but it also includes brand new graphics.  The Last of Us is just like the PS2 remasters, Ico, SotC, etc.  Same textures at a higher resolution.  The difference in The Last of Us picture below is hardly noticeable, while the Halo 2 comparison, being a full blown graphics enhancement, is like night and day.  The Halo 2 comparison is also comparing the MCC 1080p version of Halo 2, so the classic version is even 1080p instead of the 480p source material and it's still far and away better looking. 

 

I gotta say... MCC puts all "remasters" in this gen to shame

How do you even expect the difference from TLOU to be so high if the game was released last year? It's not 2 decades of difference. There's no 'shame'. The game looks AMAZING. Obviously much better looking than the Halo 2 remastered since it's a more recent game.

I'm not saying that MCC won't be cool, my problem is how there's so much hate about TLOU remaster but Microsoft has a FREE PASS to remaster.
Let's not forget, TLOU remaster was a tremendous success and this debate it's old since daily there were topics saying how "Sony is being extorsive" but Microsoft "Oh yeah, these amazing games are back!".

Stop believing everybody played the game. Some came from 360 and wii and want to enjoy the game.
And as long as people tries to say that Sony is "this and that" but MS remaster it's ok... Then they are just being hyprocrite and are clearly in denial. Both are remaster, this is just a fact.
