So let me get this straight, you are sticking up for Sony remaking a games that people can already pop into their PS5s and play? There is no excuse for the TLOU remake. The original version of the game couldn't be played on PS4, so a remaster was understandable. The Reamaek though? No such excuse. Dropping 3 versions of the same game in 9 years is indefensible. I can play Horizon Zero Dawn, on my PS5, at 60fps right now. No need for a remaster. How many PS3 games are Sony sitting on that CANNOT be played on PS5. I can't pop my XCX disc into my Switch. My HZD works just fine. Hell, they can't even drop a patch for Bloodborne when a fan hacked the game to run at 60fps on PS4 Pro.

I think The Last of Us Part 1 would have gone over better if it was Naughty Dog getting used to the new hardware to really knock it out of the park with their first new game the way the 2014 version was for the development of Uncharted 4 on the PS4.  Instead, it just led to another remaster of the 2nd game with no new game from the studio so much as announced 4 years into the generation.  That's ultimately the difference between the rerelease situation on Sony and Nintendo platforms.  Nintendo fans have every reason to believe Nintendo's rereleases are there to give development teams time to finish and perfect new games, while many Playstation fans feel their rereleases are taking the place of new games and are being worked on instead of new games.

Yes, also the fact that given that PS5 gets every major third party game at release, they have no need to pad out their releases with ports and remasters. The fact that most games of any major budget will skip Switch just means that Nintendo is fully dependant on ports and remasters to have regular releases coming to Switch.
