How old does a game need to be to warrant a remake?

I feel the exact opposite. They're prime examples of games that won't be any different as remakes. I don't think there's been a single technological advance since they originally released worth remaking them for.

Dead Space has a better argument for a remake, but that's not due to technical reasons. That's because EA effectively killed the franchise and maybe the remake can bring it back from the dead. Although TBH a reboot or spin-off would probably be better for that purpose, eg. the new Tomb Raider or Doom games.

Just comparing TloU Remaster with TloU2 is already night and day from a technological perspective. The added benefits that would come from a TLoU post-TloU2 will be pretty substantial. 

Yes, the kind of changes would perhaps have a lesser impact than say RE2 had, but that should not detract from how games like TLoU and DS can be enhanced for the better. Accessibility additions to TloU would be transformative on their own. 3D audio of next gen consoles would most definitely be a massive change to the DS experience. 

The TLOU doesnt need a remake, 3D audio can be patched in.
